Hi Everybody!
it’s officially summer!
Summer started on June 20th and with that I wanted to give you some easy, quick, and healthy snacks ideas
that you can take with you to amusement parks or a beach day or a picnic
or just hanging out at home with friends, a sleepover, a party, whatever really!
All these snacks are vegan and gluten-free
But even if you’re not vegan, these are healthy and quick snack ideas that I think you’ll love anyways
alright let’s get cooking!
First we’re going to make our own popsicles
simply grab a popsicle mould
grab some juice, or a smoothie or i’m using coconut water, and pour it into the mould
don’t fill it all the way to the top, leave some space to put in some fruit or whatever later
put on the lid and put it in the freezer for about an hour and a half until the juice becomes a bit slushy
meanwhile prepare your fruit, edible flowers, herbs, or whatever you want to put into your popsicles
after your popsicles are a bit frozen and thicker, you can start to put in your toppings
you can place them easier using a stick
stick in your popsicle sticks then put them back in the freezer for another 5 hours until they are completely frozen and solid
or better yet, keep them in the freezer overnight
when they are ready and completely frozen you can carefully take them out of their moulds
if it’s difficult to remove you can run the sides under hot water a little bit and it will make it easier
these are so delicious and refreshing!
I can’t wait for you guys to try this to see what you create!
ooooh this is a good one!
grab a large mixing bowl and add in the following ingredients;
about 6 medium diced tomatoes,
2 cans of black beans I’m using black beans, kidney beans, chickpeas, and lima beans
if you’re using canned beans make sure you wash them really well first
a half cup of yellow and orange peppers diced
1 red onion diced
a half cup of green peppers diced
and 1 can of sweet corn
mix 1/3 cup of extra virgin olive oil
with 1.5 tablespoons of white wine vinegar
and 1.5 tablespoons of agave syrup
and 1 teaspoon of chilli powder
mix it well then pour it over the salad
add 1 cup of chopped fresh cilantro and a pinch of salt
mix it together really well then store it in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight so that all the flavours blend really nicely
this bean salsa is good on its own, but it’s even better with nacho chips
This is a quick and easy way to make fruit look cute!
grab any fruit you like and cut it into pieces
you can use cookie cutters to make things easier
grab a shish kabob stick stick and carefully slide your fruit onto it
and that’s all there is to it! See, it’s really easy to make, and it’s perfect for parties!
These make a really light, fresh, and yummy snack!
chop up your vegetables in long thin strips
take a slicer, and thinly slice your zucchini
in a bowl mix together a half cup of hummus and a half cup of cooked quinoa
lay down a slice of your zucchini and spread on the hummus quinoa mixture
add some fresh parsley, basil, red chicory, red pepper, yellow pepper, carrots, and sprouts
then carefully roll up the zucchini
so colourful!
these look great and they taste even better!
These are the best healthy chocolate chips cookies ever!
I put them on my website a while ago, but I wanted to make a video on them
Seriously, anybody who tries them always loves them
In a large mixing bowl pour in 1 cup of gluten-free flour, I’m using a 1/2 cup of brown rice flour and a 1/2 cup of corn flour, but you can use any kind of flour you like!
add 1/2 cup of organic gluten-free oats
a 1/2 cup of almond flour
a 1/2 cup of sliced almonds
1/4 cup of coconut sugar
4 tbsp of vegan chocolate chips
2 tbsp of pumpkin seeds
2 tbsp of sunflower seeds
also 2 tbsp of chia seeds
1/2 tsp of baking powder and a 1/2 tsp of baking soda
a 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and a 1/4 cup of shredded coconut
For the wet ingredients, you want to mix a 1/4 cup of maple syrup
3 tbsp of natural organic applesauce
1/4 cup of coconut oil
3 tbsp of natural peanut butter
1 tsp of vanilla extract
mix the ingredients in both bowls together well
add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix them together well with your hands to form a dough
shape the dough into about 2 inch wide cookies and place them on a non-stick baking sheet
and bake them at 350ºF or 180ºC for about 10-15 minutes until the edges of the cookies start to become golden brown
let them cool for about 5 minutes, then you can serve them
they taste really good when they’re all warm and chewy too!
these cookies are high in healthy fats, antioxidants and fibre!
so they taste good and they’re good for you!
This one is probably my favourite one out of all of them, it’s so good!
it’s even better then next day when all of the juices have mixed together
I can’t break chips apart and make them smaller, I have to squeeze the whole thing in my mouth even if that means cutting the sides of my mouth
I just have to fit in the whole chip like this
let me know in the comments which snack you like best or which one you want to try the most
and of course if you do try them, I would love to see them, tag me in your photos with #LookTay
It would be really great if you gave this video a thumbs up if you liked it and I will see you soon!
Bye!
