Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

Yum! My library didn't have "Yellow Rose Recipes," so I hope my local bookstores can come through. Or you could post it here...wink, wink!

macrobiotic couscous cake:
warm 2 cups of natural, unsweetened apple juice (organic the best!)
Pour 1 cup of couscous in the juice, and cook for couple of minutes (you want this couscous to be overcooked!). Put some cinnamon, vanilla, or what you like.
Cut the fruit (strawberries, or cherries, or...) and put it in glasses. Pour warm couscous over the fruit. Refrigerate and the eat!
Another version is to pour the warm couscous in baking tin and refrigerate. Then cut in cubes and pour over the warm fruit sauce. Like raspberry sauce - cook raspberries for 2-3 minutes and add some sugar if you want. Decorate with mint leaves.
It looks like this. This will be in my future cookbook

My cookbooks are currently packed and hundreds of miles away from me ( ), otherwise I would! If you actually still remember in October I can post it! YRR is kind of harder to find than other cookbooks. It's okay...you probably should check it out before you buy it. I'm kind of lukewarm on it.

Vegan Bodybuilder's Orange Julius

One whole orange, peeled and seeded (unless you're weird)
1 T. organic orange juice concentrate
1.5 C. soy milk (or nut milk)
1.5 t. vanilla extract
Heaping scoop plain or vanilla protein powder

Blend and devour. You can add a sweetener of your choice; I favor stevia. A few added ice cubes make it nice and cold for hot summer days.

BLACKBERRY MINT SMOOTHIE

1 C. fresh blackberries that are frozen solid (Pick them and put them on a cookie sheet in the freezer for 3 hrs.)
3 T. lemon juice
1/4 C fresh mint
1 C. water
sweetener of your choice

This is an unexpectedly awesome combination of flavors. The mint takes a back seat to the sweetness of the berries but adds a fresh punch in the end. I use agave syrup to sweeten.

WARNING: purple tongue alert!

1 eggplant, 2 zucchinis (i used local ones, with white skin, not italian ones with green skin, but it does not matter), 1 onion, 3 tomatoes, 2-3 red peppers - cut everything in chunks and put in baking dish. Cut some smoked tofu in cubes and add, along with some olive oil, turmeric, very little cinnamon, agave syrup, salt, pepper. Bake until done!

ok, here is another one:
hemp spread
1 cup hulled hempseeds
juice of 1,5 lemon
salt, pepper, garlic, thymian, basil
Grind hempseeds finely, mix in lemon juice and the rest of ingredients and that's it!
