This delicious date shake recipe is being shared ahead of Valentine's Day because that's the only date on which I will be!

I hope you will join me on my date shake adventure. People who have been around for a while will know that dates aren’t really my favourite. But, I love dates in smoothies and I enjoy a sweet cinnamony dateshake! It is also very Californian. It is associated with California's Coachella Valley, where it originated. You can find many options for date shakes in both restaurants and on the side roads when you travel to the desert from Los Angeles. I have had two vegan shakes in my life, and they were both magical. I can't recall where I purchased them.

With just a few ingredients, you can make your own date shake. They can be made with ice cream or canned coconut cream. I used non-dairy milk and canned coconut cream. It's possible to substitute nondairy ice-cream if you wish. Cinnamon is essential. I like to add a little bit of maple syrup and a pinch of cinnamon.

You can also make pad thai sauce using medjool dates if you're looking for a savory way to use dates. This recipe is available here.

Can you still eat out in restaurants when you are on a plant-based eating plan?

Many restaurants are now offering plant-based options on their menus. In larger cities and communities, many vegan restaurants are popping up and offering exciting food choices. Many mainstream restaurants offer vegetarian-friendly options, so you can still enjoy the best of traditional restaurant cuisine while following a plant-based diet. Look for recipes where vegetables or legumes such as tofu, tempeh, seitan, or other protein sources like beans are the stars. Vinegar and healthy oils can be substituted for mayonnaise or dressings that are high in saturated oil. Ask your server if you can make certain items vegan, or if there are dairy alternatives such as coconut milk or almond milk.

For ideas on vegan recipes, you might want to research vegan cookbooks before you go. Restaurants are open to accommodating guests on a plant-based diet. Easy to enjoy a plantbased meal at a restaurant if you are creative and willing to do some research.

Can I eat meat on a plant-based diet?

While plant-based diets eliminate meat, fish, and poultry, they also allow for certain food items that contain limited animal products. Some people who follow a plant-based diet can still eat dairy and eggs, but only in moderation. For those looking to move to a plantbased diet, there are many options. Plant-based diets are primarily based on fresh fruits and veggies, legumes like beans and lentils as well as nuts and seeds such as oatmeal, quinoa, and soy products. They also include fortified foods such as non-dairy almond milk or coconut milk.

Many grocery stores carry vegan products. Tofu, seitan, tempeh (fermented soy beans), and mock chicken made from mushrooms all have the same flavor and texture as traditional meat dishes. There is an ever-growing selection of vegetarian burgers made out of black beans or quinoa that come pretty close to the taste of beef burgers.

People who prefer plant-based meals to their carnivorous favourites will find many alternatives. You can substitute vegan ingredients such as coconut bacon strips and eggplant bacon bits; tofu Mayo; veggie hotdogs with seasoned, textured soy protein; or faux chicken strips using wheat gluten. While some fermented fungi can taste similar to meat when properly cooked, others, such as mushrooms, have a much lower environmental impact than livestock production and may even have the same sensory properties. Ultimately, meat that one might once would have eaten could be safely replaced with these alternatives, making transitioning into a plant-based diet more manageable.

Can I eat chicken on a plant-based diet?

No, eating chicken on a plant-based diet is not possible. A plant-based diet eliminates all animal products, including meat, fish, and poultry. Many vegan options to traditional meat-centric dishes can be made without the use of animal products. For example, soy-based meats such as tofu, seitan (wheat gluten), tempeh (fermented soybeans), and mock duck made from mushrooms can mimic the flavor of traditional meats. Vegetarian burgers made of black beans, quinoa and other legumes can be very similar to traditional beef burgers. You can also make tasty vegetarian burgers using coconut bacon strips, eggplant bacon bits, tofu mayo, and faux chicken strips made from wheat gluten.

How To

How to transition to a plant-based diet without feeling overwhelmed?

Transitioning to a plantbased diet can seem daunting at first. However, proper education and preparation will make it easier. Start slowly and make small changes to your diet. For example, replace animal protein with plant-based protein. Whole foods are more nutritious and healthier than processed alternatives.

You can get the best results from meal planning and meal prep if you are dedicated. Map out your meals in advance to plan what you will need to buy and how long to prepare each dish. It is a good idea to invest in kitchen appliances like multi-cookers, slow cookers, and multi-cookers. Batch cooking makes it easy to have multiple meals ready at once.

You should also keep trying out new flavors. Different cuisines can offer a variety in your vegan diet. Think Chinese tofu and Indian curries. Instead of shopping impulse at the grocery store, create a grocery plan that is based on recipes. It'll be much easier to switch once you have the right ingredients.
