Vegan Maple-Oat Banana Bread and Walking Outside


Vegan Maple-Oat Banana Bread

While on my journey to eat a Plant Based Diet I came across the Cookbooks By Thug Kitchen. Thug Kitchen has 3 cookbooks and I own them all  www.thugkitchen.com In these books the authors use a colorful language throughout that makes the recipes entertaining and funny especially when I am cooking with my 14 year old daughter Makenna. This is their Banana Bread recipe and to quote the authors"Forget that banana cake bullshit you're used to eating and telling yourself it's healthy. This is the real fucking deal. A fistful of fiber with just the right amount of sweetness, this loaf will have you coming back for more." This bread will have you coming back for more. We have made this multiple times and I hope you give it a try too.


                                   

 recipe: maple-oat banana bread

2 cups oat flour(grind rolled oats yourself in food processor)
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
13/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon slat
1/4 cup of almond or other non dairy milk
1/4 teaspoon aplle cider vinegar
2 cups mashed banana
1/3 cup maple syrup
3 Tablespoons of olive oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 Tablespoon of sugar (we use coconut  sugar)

#1 Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a standard loaf pan so your bread won't stick. This shit is critical so don't skip this step.
#2 Grab a medium bowl and mix together the flours, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. set aside.
#3 In a small glass mix together the milk and vinegar. Then grab a large bowl and mix together the mashed banana, maple syrup,olive oil, and vanilla. Once all that is mixed up add milk vinegar mixture then add flour mixture and mix until just combined.
#4 Pour the batter into your greased pan and sprinkle the sugar over the top. Bake for 30-40 min.
 After you make and eat your banana bread it will be time to go outside for a walk. This sounds simple but in my FunctionetiKs.com business I work with clients that have forgotten or are in so much pain they can not go outside for a walk. If you are in pain that prohibits you from walking please visit my website and schedule a free consultation www.Functionetiks.com www.Functionetiks.com For everyone else strap on your walking shoes and get outside. Benefits of walking outside are you get fresh air, your body has to navigate the uneven terrain like curbs, rocks, grass, and or dirt. This helps with balance and stability and is so much better for you than hanging on a treadmill and doing the same gait over and over. While you are outside look for a grassy area under a tree and lay down and maybe stretch your hamstrings or just enjoy the view like I am pictured doing above. Thanks for reading.

Promoting a Movement Based Life

Promoting a Movement Based Life You have heard it before; sitting is not good for you! We all know sitting is not good for us but most of us spend our days sitting for most of our day. As clients of Functionetiks you all have a designated time each day that you work on your function. Your individualized menu. This is amazing and makes everything you do for the rest of the day a bit more functional. How functional can you be if you spend the majority of the day sitting? It wasn't long ago in our history of humans that our survival was determined by our ability to move. As humans we are designed to move; we can walk, run, jump, climb, carry heavy objects etc... In the past we did not have to think about it movement was built into our day. Today our modern life dictates that we sit. So I challenge you to change that, think of ways to increase movement throughout the day.  Stand up when you are working on your computer (stand on both feet with weight equal) Sit down on t...

Vegan Lasagna

Vegan Lasagna This is my go to recipe for Lasagna, it is gluten free, dairy free, and meat free. Since it is summertime I made a fresh low cook tomato sauce, in colder months I would extend the cooking time of this sauce to yield a depth of flavor. For a warm summer night this was delicious.  First I sautéed the mushrooms onions and garlic - then I add tomato paste and canned tomatoes. I love these tomatoes I find them at Whole Foods. While the sauce cooks a bit I sauté grated zucchini and frozen chopped spinach until there is no moisture left. To make the creamy filling we crumble organic firm tofu, vegan cheese,onion powder, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, chopped fresh italian parsley,salt and pepper and flax meal eggs. Assembly is next with sauce on bottom of pan, followed with uncooked noodles, cheese mixture, veggies, sauce and repeat. I didn't precook the noodles and it turned out just fine. We did not get a picture of the final product, th...
