The Funky Monkey Recipe

By VegetaFull

🔪Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

12 oz. of extra firm tofu (340 grams)

2 teaspoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 tablespoon of vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon of fine sea salt

2 tablespoons of almond butter

3 large medjool dates, pitted

4 large very ripe bananas

Instructions

1First, cut your extra firm tofu into cubes and add it to the blender cup along with the freshly squeezed lemon juice, vanilla, salt, dates and almond butter, followed by the bananas.

2Screw the blade base onto the blender cup and blend until creamy, about 1 minute. If using a traditional blender with the blade on the bottom of the container, just add the ingredients in reverse order and blend.

3Scoop the healthy 'nana mixture, which will be the consistency of loose pudding, into three bowls and top with chopped walnuts and cacao nibs.

4Notes: How ripe is a very ripe banana? The perfect smoothie bowl banana will be past the point where you would typically eat it just out of the peel. It will be soft and speckled all over with black spots indicating that the starches have changed to simple sugars.

Earth of Maria

I’ve never been good at introductions because when they’re needed, I seem to forget every single interesting thing about myself. But I guess we’ll start with the basics. My name is Maria, and I am a twenty year old student from England. I study history at the University of Oxford and live in Brighton, but I was born in Russia and moved to the UK around ten years ago. I’m a vegan foodie (as you can probably tell by this blog), a lover of long walks and somewhere awkwardly between extrovert and introvert. Veganism and healthy eating are a huge part of my life, given that both have helped me overcome an unhealthy relationship with food. Finding balance took a lot of time and patience. But, as with many things in life, hard work proved 110% worth it! Whenever I’m not in the kitchen or working in my room, you’ll often find me at the gym, or at the grocery store looking for inspo for my next recipe.
