peanut butter – Veg with Vito

Looking for some real-deal comfort food? Or are you looking for a nice vegan starter? Check out and enjoy – super easy to follow!!

Hi Everyone,

Welcome back to the blog!

In this post, we are going to make stuffed potato skins and I am very excited to share this recipe with you as it’s sooo yummy!!

To start off find 4 ‘good’ lookin’ potatoes and then go ahead and cut them into half. The next step to do is to take most of the inner part of the potatoes, so the skin becomes nice and crispy – I used an ice cream scooper, but you can use whatever is at hand and does the job!
Wash them well.

If you are not going to use the inner part of the potato today, just place the potatoes into a bowl and cover them with water.

Place the potato skins on a baking tray and spray some oil and sprinkle some salt on both sides – preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) and first bake them for 15-20 minutes with the skin side facing up.
Take out the potato skins and turn them over – add some vegan butter and once it melts a bit, brush the whole inside with the butter.
Place back into the oven for 6-8 minutes.
Take out again and flip the skins, and brush them with some butter from the tray.
Leave in the oven for another 2-3 min.

Now the rest of the ingredients for the stuffing:
– 3/4 can of coconut milk (just the pure milk itself)
– 1/2 can of mixed beans
– 3-4 tbsp of 100% peanut butter
– 2 tbsp of tomato paste
– 1,5 tsp of salt
– 1,5 tsp of chili flakes
– 1 tbsp of cajun seasoning
– 2 tbsp of nutritional yeast
– 2 tsp of light brown sugar
– 1 tbsp of dried paprika
– 1/2 can mixed beans
– 70g of sweetcorn
+ (just for the topping)
– 80g of mixed salad
– 4-5 spring onions
– 25g of salted peanuts

Go ahead and add the coconut milk to a saucepan and bring to medium heat. Add peanut butter & tomato paste and whisk until it incorporates a bit. Add all the ingredients: salt, chili, cajun seasoning, nutritional yeast, sugar, dried paprika – cook on low heat and wish occasionally for 6-7 minutes. Add beans and sweetcorn, mix it and take it off the hob after 2 minutes.

We are almost done!
Cut the salad and spring onion and mix them together and blend the peanuts just a bit (pulse).

Take the potato skins, fill them nicely up with the sauce and top up with salad, spring onions, and crushed peanuts on top!

Enjoy!

Cheers,

Vito

Fan of ice cream, but not dairy? Go try this delicious vegan ice cream with peanut butter and chocolate, that is high in protein!

Hi Everyone,

For these warmer days, I’ve been experimenting with different flavors of ice cream, and in my humble opinion I came up with 2 flavors that are phenomenal, but also high in protein, so are very good for muscle growth also 🙂
One of the flavors is banana & peanut butter and the other is infused with dark chocolate!

INGREDIENTS:
– 500g of peeled bananas – the riper the better, as the ice cream is gonna be sweeter 🙂
– 300g of peanut butter (I use 100% peanuts for ultimate flavor)
– can of coconut milk (high fat)
– 7 tbsp sugar
– 100g dark chocolate
– 1,5 tbsp coconut oil
– 1 tsp vanilla extract

PREPARATION:

It’s best to prepare the peeled bananas the night before by cutting them into smaller pieces and rolling them into some baking paper (so they don’t stick together) and leaving them in the freezer overnight – also leave the can of coconut milk in the fridge.

The next day you can start off by placing the bananas into a blender, together with the can of coconut milk and blend it well together – now add the peanut butter, sugar and vanilla extract, and blend/stir it all well together – you got your first flavor so take HALF of the batch and place it into a container and place it in the freezer.

Now you can make your second flavor!

Place a saucepan on the stove on medium heat with some water and place a bowl with the chocolate and the coconut oil in it and let it start melting, stir occasionally. Once the chocolate is properly melted you can add it to the mixture and blend it once more, and you have the second flavor also!

You will get the perfect texture by leaving it in the freezer for 6 – 7 hours and then you are ready to serve it as a perfect dessert after dinner!

If you are leaving it for another day you can put it in the fridge for a few hours before serving.

It’s great to serve it with slightly blended up salted peanuts!

You are ready to serve it, Enjoy!!
