Best Vegetti Recipes

2015-04-26T17:39:44.000Z

www.fruityliving.comI love my new spiralizer kitchen gadget the Vegetti.This is the newest little tool to help you spiralize any veggie you like. You can turn your veggies into thin or thick sized vegetable noodles. The noodles are great raw or you can cook them to replace your regular noodles. You could also do a mix of both! Whatever your heart desires. Toss your veggie noodles with other veggies, marinara sauce or dressing and you have a wonderful satisfying meal. I personally like The Vegetti over the larger spiralizers. It doesn't consume much space in your cabinet and is very inexpensive. Bonus! But if you have the space and want more versatility, take a look at the larger variety here.

How to Use the Vegetti

To use the Vegetti, just insert the vegetable into the desired end and turn. The noodles will come out as your turn. If you choose to use larger vegetables like sweet potatoes, turnips or jicama, you will need to cut pieces small enough to be inserted into the end. Everyone seems to be going crazy with lots of creative spiralized recipes. Check out the list of healthy recipes below to add to your collection. They are perfect for summer. No heating up your kitchen! Pick up a Vegetti here.

Best Salad Dressings

2014-08-14T16:43:07.000Z

What are people's favourite low fat salad dressings?

I love mango dates with some courgette to thicken it up!

I did a blog post explaining a salad dressing formula to help create new recipes, check it out:

Cucumber Rawfredo (1st day) + Cucumber with Red Sauce (2nd day)

2014-01-20T11:50:04.000Z

I was inspired by FullyRaw Kristina's Fettuccine Alfredo except I'm not a fan of zucchini noodles and didn't have the herbs she used. I only made a small portion to start with because I'm a picky eater but this is going to be a go-to recipe. My happy SAD eating husband insists it's a keeper. Also, I kept tasting it as I went so you'll see the adjustments I made below. Feel free to customize this to your taste and texture preferences - I did.

If you want to make this as 811 legal as possible, sub the garlic with scallions.

I haven't had Fettuccine Alfredo in 5+ years easily so this tasted delicious. If you've eaten it in the last month, I hope you won't be disappointed. *grin*

Ingredients

3 cucumbers
1 big zucchini
1/2 bunch parsley
juice of 1/2 lemon
1/3 tsp garlic granules (I have no garlic cloves in the house but I'll start with 1/2 clove next time because garlic, in general, is too strong for my tastes now but this needed the oomph for flavour) use scallions to be 811 legal
1/4-1/2 cup pine nuts

Method

I shredded the cucumber in my food processor and they were like short angel hair noodles. Let the cucumber drain for an hour because you'll have a soup otherwise. Squeeze more liquid out if you want a drier salad. Make sure someone drinks the cucumber juice later because it would be a crime to toss it.

Peel and chop the zucchini and put in a blender.

Add 1/4 cup of the pine nuts, to start.

Add the lemon juice, being careful to keep pits out if you're squeezing straight into the blender.

Add some parsley (determined by how much you like it; I started with 3 sprigs and kept adding until it tasted "right")

Add 1/2 clove garlic or scallions, to start.

Blend and taste.

I added more pine nuts because I may have used more zucchini than Kristina did and the dressing didn't have that thick and creamy look like in the video. A total of 1/2 cup made this dressing have the consistency that Kristina's did.

Pour over the drained cucumbers and gobble it up.

If you have any dressing left (I ran out of cucumbers and am so glad I did!), save it for the next day. I put the sauce back into the blender, added 1/2 red bell pepper/capsicum and 2 pitted dates and turned it into a red sauce. This time I shredded 5 cucumbers because it tasted even better than the Rawfredo sauce

Here's a tomato dressing for picky eaters :}

2013-12-27T05:02:03.000Z

Not a fan of basil, dill, garlic or onions? Me neither.

3-4 ripe large tomatoes

20-30 dried tomato rings

2 pitted dates

1/2 banana (to taste)

1 stalk celery (to taste) OR 1 teaspoon celery powder

1 red bell pepper/capsicum (to taste) OR 1 teaspoon capsicum powder

parsley sprigs (to taste)

Blend in a super-blender or food processor. Adjust quantities to taste. I don't think I've ever screwed this one up, lol.

Although you definitely don't need a dehydrator, I had one pre 811 and find it comes in handy for tomatoes, celery, capsicum and raisins.

Iceberg lettuce

red cabbage

cucumbers

My salads are very boring and yummy. I use a mandolin to thinly shave the red cabbage & cucumbers and tear the lettuce into pieces.

Portebello pizza recipe!

2013-06-05T18:15:28.000Z

Raw marinara?!?

2013-05-30T01:14:57.000Z

Hi guys. I'm desperate to find a good raw marinara. I've tried sooo many and can't seem to find one I like. Does anyone have any recipes for a really good tomato based pasta sauce? Something maybe different than the others? Thanks!

What to do with carob!

2013-05-24T21:33:18.000Z

Hey everyone! I recently (VERY recently) decided that I want to give up cacao powder at home - better to be safe than sorry, right? - and bought me some carob powder today.

But honestly, I don't know what to do with carob powder - I know it has a different taste than chocolate, so I didn't want to just substitute my recipes for chocolate with this without first finding some good carob recipes that were meant for carob, not chocolate.

Please let me know what your favorite carob recipes are. They can be anything - ice cream, "cookies", smoothies, dips, sauces, even savory if you want!

Thanks!

Banana "Ice-cream"

2013-05-06T11:18:19.000Z

Hey guys! I don't know if this has been posted before, but this is the recipe I use when I feel like a frozen treat.

You basically need as many frozen bananas as you want

To every frozen banana add one date (So 1 banana=1 date)

If you have a powerful blender/food processor this should work quite well, but if your like me and you don't feel free to add a small amount of water, or if your not fully raw add a milk alternative of your choice ( oat milk, nut milk etc..).

Then Blend baby blend until all bananas are mashed and dates are combined!!! This is seriously yummy and feel free to freeze any excess because it lasts a while :)

Feel free to top with a few crushed walnuts for a extra crunch!

xoxox

Cacao dates

2013-04-30T16:50:11.000Z

My favourite hcrv 'treat':

Put as many dates as you desire in a food processor, add 1-2tsp cacao powder and 1tbsp of water. Process until the dates are tiny pieces and roll balls or enjoy immediately :)

Zucchini "Noodle" Salad

2013-04-09T16:47:01.000Z

Hi everyone,

today was my first day making this dish and so far my body's reacted positively to it. :)

So here's the recipe. Unfortunately I didn't take a picture of it, as I ate it all up, lol. :D

ZUCCHINI "NOODLE" SALAD________

(Serves 1 person)

150g lamb's lettuce

3 medium zucchini

250g tomatoes (I used cherry tomatoes)

3 medium or large red bell peppers

1 scallion

chopped fresh herbs of your choice (as many as you wish, I used about 1,5-2 tablespoons)

1) Wash the lamb's lettuce and then chop it (as you wish) and place it in a very large bowl. Then set it aside.

2) Chop the ends of the zucchinis off. Peel the zucchini skin off (if you wish). Either grate the zucchini if you want short almost fettucini-like "noodles" (or if you don't have a spiraliser like me, lol) OR spiralise them with a spiraliser to have them longer. Place the "noodles" on top of the lettuce.

3) Chop one of the red bell peppers and toss them on top of the "noodles".

4) Now let's get saucy! ;) Chop the other 2 red bell peppers, the tomatoes (but if they're little you won't need to chop them) and the scallions. Toss them all along with the herbs in a mixer/blender and blend until smooth.

5) Pour the sauce on top of the "noodles", red bell pepper and lettuce. Mix all the ingredients together and enjoy. :)

Strawberry Pie

2013-04-01T19:37:37.000Z

I was kind of moaning while I ate this. So ridiculously good.

Just smush some dates into a pie pan (or blend them into a chunky paste) and put that in the freezer. Slice some strawberries. Get some more strawberries and blend them into a sauce. Put the sliced strawberries in the saucy strawberries and get them nice and coated. Put the saucy sliced strawberries into the date crust and you're done. Try to keep yourself from diving in face-first.

OMG Tangerine Pineapple Juice!! (with a secret ingredient)

2013-03-10T18:24:27.000Z

K, so this morning I was trying to figure out what to do with my VERY ripe tangerines sitting on the counter and then I saw a young Thai coconut in the fridge and a fresh, sweet pineapple on the counter. Bingo! You need to try this recipe - it's seriously the BEST juice I have ever tasted.

Measurements are not exact, but here's the idea if you want about 2-3 big servings:

* Juice 8-9 tangerines

* 1/2 cup coconut water

* BIG spear of pineapple flesh

Directions: Blend tangerine juice, coconut water, and pineapple in blender until smooth.

Let me know what you think, and if you have any other OJ or TJ recipes I would love to know since I have so much citrus right now.

Zucchini "Rice"

2013-01-20T00:44:34.000Z

I love Tabouli salad, so i replaced the Bulgar with finely diced zucchini and the texture was great! It can also be used to replace rice.

My Tabouli salad had only 3 ingredients: 1 medium zucchini, more or less than 10 cherry tomatoes, scallions/parsley.

Dice the tomatoes, finely dice the zucchini, and thinly slice the scallions. Mix all ingredients to combine. If you're patient, you can let the salad sit for about 10 more minutes and it'll taste even better. I wish I could pic a picture up, though. Anyways, Enjoy!

New favourite salad :D

2012-11-27T10:13:07.000Z

Hi everyone

Thought I would share my new favourite salad recipe with you. Its colourful and juicy - so it doesnt need any other dressing. I like to chop the greens really small, somehow I find them easier to eat this way. Great one to contribute to shared dinners.

Spiralise 2 Lebanese Cucumbers and 1 Zucchini (depending on size). Add finely chopped red capsicum. Add finely chopped spinach and/or iceberg/cos lettuce. Add finely chopped fresh herbs. My personal choice is mint and sometimes basil. Add a chopped orange and a chopped mango. Toss all together. I like to use my hands for this bit :)

Yum!

Alison

Can anyone share with me some simple dinner meals recipe?

2012-08-04T15:16:45.000Z

Something other than salad would be nice. Thank you

Watermelon cake!

2012-06-18T23:09:44.000Z

I got this recipe from here and just slightly modified it. I added sliced frozen strawberries on top (so that they would melt and create another little layer of sauce, but you could easily use fresh ones, or whatever fruit you like) and used agave nectar because my blender hasn't been working so well and I haven't been able to make a good date-based liquid sweetener. But that would work just fine, too. In any case, it was super fantastic. I took it to a vegan potluck and everyone thought it was so pretty (and delicious, of course).

Anyway, just cut about a 3" round from a watermelon and cut the rind off. You can make a second, smaller tier, if you want. Put the fruit on top of both your tiers, if you're doing it that way. Mix your sweetener and some lime juice (you're going to have to eyeball it, due to differences in watermelon size and cake size - make sure to taste-test a couple times too, but don't worry about it too much, as it's a pretty mild glaze anyway) and pour over the top.

Boom! You have a super cool watermelon cake to show off or just devour by yourself. Yum.

368 g corn on the cob - 3 6" stalks - cut off kernals

GREAT CINAMIN NUTMEG COOKIE RECIPE

2012-06-02T23:03:17.000Z

I'm new and was craving some cake or whatever unhealthy and sweet there was.So to succumb to my craving i made something amazing! I'm new to recipes and i am SO proud of myself on how this turned out.It was like oatmeal cookie batter.yum!:9

You need a food processor. i just have like a Cuisinart 1 cup one.

1 tblsp of nutmeg. makes a good texture

1 tblsp of cinnamon.

1 tblsp of organic oats.

6 pecans. I cracked them from the shell

2 tblsp of raw almond halves(i guess you could use 8 whole ones)

1 lemon of lemon zest.

1 handful of sunflower seeds.

4 dates.(soaked for 30min before and ten drained)

2 tblsp water.

Add all ingredients into the processor. add the dates last. wait till the ingredients get to a dry but a little bit sticky.kinda like a lemon square with a rougher texture.

THEN ITS READY TO EAT!

i really really really loved this.

i guess you could add 1/4 of a banana to make its softer.

Hope you enjoy!
