Autumn in New York --Delicious Series

Persimmons, pumpkins, apples, and hot vattes (vegan lattes) are only some of the perks that the change of tree color brings upon us.

Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year. The fashion, the food, the air, and the creative energy surge I experience is unreal. It's a time of change. It can also become a stressful time of the year with everything going on. Be sure to make some you time a priority with these amazingly delicious vegan fall favorites of mine. 🍁

Persimmon (N)Ice cream
I absolutely love persimmons, and what better way to use these gems than in a delicious non-dairy, cruelty free delicious vegan nice cream?! Persimmons contain high amounts of vitamin A, E, C, and B6. They also taste amazing! I especially love cinnamon persimmons!

You will need:
Makes a serving for 1-2 people
  • Two plumply ripe Fuyu Persimmons  
  • Two and 1/2 ripe bananas
  • Almond Butter
  • Goji Berries
  • Any other toppings your heart desires 
  • High speed blender or Food processor 
To Make:

-*Cut the persimmons into chunks, and then place them into a container or zip-lock bag to freeze them for at least 5-6 hours (overnight is ideal).
-*Chop two of your ripe bananas into halves or small pieces and place in the freezer as well.
 

Place 1/2 of a ripe banana as well as the frozen bananas and persimmons into your high speed blender or food processor. Blend low to high until it reaches a creamy ice cream like texture.
 

You may need to add splashes of water or coconut water to help speed the process along deepening on which machine you use. I personally love my Vitamix blender for this!


~Topping this goodness with Jem Almond Butter added an amazing taste and Halloween like color! I love goji berries on any nice cream creation as well for an added "chew." (: Enjoy!

Pumpkin Coconut Tea Vatte
In the mood for a cozy pick me up? You're in the right spot.

Pumpkin Coconut Chai Tea is such a delicious fall burst of energy. You can use loose leaf teas, or pre-blended teas! My absolute favorite tea place in my hometown, Global Infusions carries the most amazing blends! 
I steeped both of these teas for about 5 minutes.
Add in a splash of espresso and/or mylk of choice.        (:           
Apples
Apples are the most crisp this time of year! && I love having one on the go, or taking time to make homemade apple sauce! My favorites include: Lady Alice, Red Delicious, Gala, and Lemonade Apples. :) 

Enjoy this time of year, and take time to breath and appreciate this change. 💆
