How To Sprout Mung Beans - Sprouting mung beans, or beansprouts as they’re more commonly known is really easy to do - I have also included pictures to illustrate the process, so ➡️swipe➡️ for those Firstly buy your mung beans, make sure to get the kind used for sprouting, I got mine from the world food section of Tesco, you can buy them online too Next weigh out 40g/1.4oz of the beans, pop them into a jar, I use a sprouting jar by @avogeluk_health but a regular jar with a bit of muslin tied on as a lid will work too Fill the jar with water and rinse the beans. Then fill the jar to about half full with water and leave the beans to soak for 8 hours Drain away the soaking water, rinse with clean water, tip the water out then leave the jar somewhere dark, light causes the beansprouts to be bitter in taste Water the beans - fill the jar with water, give the jar a gentle shake, then drain the water away, leaving the jar on it's side so water can drain out. Do this a couple of times a day. Once they have sprouted to the length you want, they’re ready to be washed and eaten. Store sprouts in the fridge, use within two or three days This principal (wash the beans/seeds, soak for 8 hours, then water a couple of times a day) will work for many types of beans/seeds, some other seeds you can sprout are alfalfa, radish, pea, chickpea, alfalfa, fenugreek, sunflower, lentil, and broccoli Tips: Make sure the jar your using is thoroughly cleaned before you use it. If you see any mould growing on the sprouts, immediately discard them, then give the jar a very good clean before using it again. Some sprouts prefer the light and some the dark, so check before sprouting which it is. You can simply Google it to find out I hope this is of help 💚 ° ° ° ° ° #sprouts #sprouting #howtosprout #howto #mungbean #beansprouts #growingsprouts #sprout #sproutingbeans #sproutingseeds #germinating #freshsprouts #sproutingathome #avogel #broccolisprouts #alfalfasprouts #radishsprouts #peasprouts #bethanysvegankitchen

New Recipe - Classic Fruit Salad - Pineapple, satsuma, kiwi, strawberry and lime, perfect to cool off with on warm days 🍓🍍🍊🥝Click the link in my bio ⬆️ for the recipe This simple fruit salad is bursting with flavour and would make a perfect addition to any picnic or barbecue. When you use fruit that is in season and perfectly ripe, there’s no need to add additional juice or syrup, the natural juice in the fruit is enough as it is Cutting the slices of kiwi into little star shapes is completely optional 🙃 I hope your week is going well ° ° ° ° ° #fruitsalad #lime #strawberry #satsuma #pineapple #fruitsaladrecipe #strawberries #kiwis #limejuice #kiwi #eatmorefruit #eatfruit #simpledessert #easydessert #vegandessert #plantbaseddessert #healthydessert #fruitjuice #fruitplatter #fruitbowl #bethanysvegankitchen

Seitan 5 bean chilli and brown rice, and I thought I'd talk about weight loss I have lost 8 stone (112lb/50.8kg) my partner has lost the same amount as me, meaning we've lost a massive 16 stone (224lbs/101.6kg) between us. It took us around 18-20 months to achieve this. I sometimes get questions about how I have done this, so I thought I'd explain I initially started with just changing my diet. I tried low carb high protein, as my partner was attempting to lose weight using that method and I wanted to support him. However after a few months we both decided to switch to calorie counting At first I worked out my basal metabolic rate (how much your body burns at rest) and ate slightly under that. As I lost weight my basal metabolic rate decreased, so now I eat 2,000 kcal a day and I workout daily I chose cycling as my low impact exercise of choice. In the beginning I could only cycle for 10 minutes at a time, I was frustrated at my limitations, but decided to work with my body not against it. I gradually increased the time I cycled, a little at a time, up to one hour. Now I can do what I would do in an hour, in just over 45 minutes If you are obese but happy with your weight that's perfectly fine. But if like me, you arent, natural weight loss is possible Find a tool that works for you, whether that be low carb, calorie counting, etc. Then when you're able to exercise, find an exercise you enjoy and with dedication and consistency you can achieve amazing results I was terrified of failure, it put me off starting this journey for so long. But you only really fail when you don't try at all I hope you have a lovely week 💚 Disclaimer - I'm not a doctor or nutritionist, my advice is just from my own experience ° ° ° ° ° #naturalweightloss #weightloss #caloriecounting #brownrice #chilliandrice #homemademockmeat #chilli #veganchilliconcarne #chiliandrice #plantbasedchilli #meatfreemondays #meatfree #mockmeat #choppedtomatoes #peppers #beans #veganuk #chillinoncarne #bethanysvegankitchen

New Recipe - Salt & Vinegar Crispy Chickpeas 🌱 These tasty oven roasted morsels are super easy to make and great to snack on, click the link in my bio ⬆️ for the recipe The secret to getting them to crisp up and become crunchy, is thoroughly drying them beforehand You can do this by leaving them to air dry, or use a hair dryer for faster drying. Don’t hold the hair dryer too close though, if you do your chickpeas will become airborne. Chickpeas are of no use to you if they’re whizzing through the air I hope you have a great weekend 💚 ° ° ° ° ° #crispychickpeas #garbonzo #chickpea #vegansnack #plantbasedsnack #saltandvinegar #glutenfree #crueltyfreesnacks #crunchychickpeas #bakedchickpeas #chickpeasnack #vegansnacking #snackrecipe #chickpearecipe #plantbasedsnacks #snacking #snacks #proteinsnack #roastedchickpeas #sourceofprotein #bethanysvegankitche

New Recipe - Vegan Soft Cheese & Cherry Tomato Tarts 🧀🍅🌱 These savoury tarts consist of golden, flaky puff pastry dairy free soft cheese, colourful cherry tomatoes & herbs. Click the link in my bio ⬆️ for the recipe These would be perfect for a quick summer meal, as they only take 10-12 minutes to cook. Then serve them hot or cold, along with a fresh green salad and potato salad I hope your week is going well 💚 ° ° ° ° ° #pastry #puffpastry #puffpastrytart #tomatotart #cherrytomatoes #savourytart #savorytart #vegansoftcheese #vegantart #veganpastry #tomatoes #summerdinner #tarts #dairyfreecreamcheese #summertart #cherrytomato #plantbasedpastry #colourfultomatoes #bethanysvegankitchen

Super Easy Vegan Tikka Masala - I prefer this way of making it, as it's easier to control the flavours and amount of salt, oil etc, and it's cheaper than a jar of sauce Just fry your other ingredients (I used onions, meat free chicken style pieces and spinach). Next add curry powder to taste and tomato puree (one tablespoon should do). Then blend a tin of chopped tomatoes with a blender or food processor, and add it in along with dairy free cream For the cream, I use one block of silken tofu blended with 200ml unsweetened plant milk 🥛 (use a few tablespoons then keep leftovers in an air tight container in the fridge) An easy swap for cream, and a good source of protein I find I've always got tins of tomatos and curry powder in my cupboard, so I don't have to worry about having a jar of sauce if I want a curry 🥘🌱 I hope you have a good week 💚 ° ° ° ° ° #tikka #tikkamasala #curry #vegancurry #meatfreemonday #meatfreecurry #dairyfreecurry #tescomeatfree #vegantikkamasala #tofucream #tikkacurry #chickenstylepieces #chickenstyle #plantbasedcurry #simplevegancooking #easyvegancooking #friedonions #easycurry #veganuk #tinnedtomatoes #cannedtomatoes #bethanysvegankitchen

New Recipe - Roast Vegetable Picnic Loaf 🥪🌱🍞 A hollowed out loaf of bread is stuffed with layers of roasted vegetables, homemade houmous & dairy free soft cheese. Click the link in my bio ⬆️ for the recipe No need to faff around making and packing individual sandwiches, just make this, wrap the whole thing in foil and take it to your picnic or gathering. Then simply unwrap, slice and serve You could switch things up and use less veggies then add slices of mock meat or dairy free cheese. It's easy to customise this to suit you I hope you have an awesome weekend 💚 ° ° ° ° ° #picnicloaf #picnicfood #picnicrecipes #foodtoshare #roastveg #roastedvegetables #roastedcourgette #roastedzucchini #roastedeggplant #roastedaubergine #redonions, #stuffedbread #foodtoshare #stuffedsandwich #courgette #aubergine #stuffedloaf #roastedredpepper #houmous #hummus #softcheese #dairyfreesoftcheese #tigerloaf #bethanysvegankitchen

Finally got to try the @quorn_uk five grain vegan fillet 🍔🌱 I kept ordering it and it was out of stock for ages 🙈 but I got there in the end I've been sat for the last at least 10 minutes trying to remember if I've ever eaten a chicken burger, which seems like the silliest thing to waste time doing. I've not eaten meat since I was 12, I'm 31 so that's almost 20 years, I think I probably have eaten one and forgot Now I'm contemplating calling my Mom to ask her if I've eaten a chicken burger as a kid, but that's such a weird reason to call someone "Excuse me, Mom, I realise we're both vegans now, but would you mind briefly contemplating my entire childhood because I can't remember if I ate a chicken burger. Oh, and hello and how are you and all that" I honestly can't remember, bloody hell this is ridiculous 😂🤦‍♀️ If this isn't a first world problem, what is I hope your week is more fulfilling than my frustrating chicken burger musings 💚 ° ° ° ° ° #veganquorn #quorn #quornchicken #quornfillets #veganchicken #veganchickenburger #chickenburger #eggfreemayo #cherrytomatoes #spinach #veganburgers #burgers #fivegrain #burgerbuns #simpledinner #easydinner #mycroprotein #fillet #easyveganmeals #bethanysvegankitchen
