#1 Vegetable tiramisù with orange blossom

A delicately floral variation of the sweetest Italian dessert! Here, the egg and mascarpone cream is replaced by a protein powder mixture, which provides consistency. For those with a sweet tooth, swap the traditional spoon biscuits for vegan speculoos.

Ingredients

1 bowl of liquid coffee.
1 to 2 tbsp orange blossom water.
250 mL coconut yogurt.
2 measuring spoons of Aime orange blossom protein powder .
2 tbsp agave syrup.
80 g cashews.
Vegan spoon biscuits (homemade or ready-made).
Raw cocoa powder (to sprinkle).
Slivered almonds (to sprinkle).

Preparation

1. Prepare your bowl of liquid coffee so that it has time to cool before use. Once warm, add the orange blossom water and stir well.
2. Dip the cashew nuts in a pan of water. Let boil for 15 minutes before draining.
3. Place cashews, coconut yogurt, protein powder and agave syrup in a blender. Mix until you obtain a smooth cream.
4. Quickly soak your biscuits in orange blossom flavored coffee. Arrange them at the bottom of a dish.
5. Cover with half of the cream, then add a new layer of biscuits, the rest of the cream and a final layer of biscuits.
6. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Sprinkle with cocoa and flaked almonds before serving.

#2 Raw matcha & coconut bites

This raw recipe (without cooking) has the advantage of preserving the properties of collagen, which can be altered with heat. These bites are an excellent snack, very energizing thanks to the presence of dates (which also allows you to do without sugar). Ideal after a sports session!

80 g pitted dates.
60 g roasted almonds then reduced to powder.
1 tsp Aime matcha glow Collagen powder.
1 tsp orange blossom water.
Grated coconut.

Preparation

2. Add the almond powder, matcha glow collagen and orange blossom water. Knead with your fingertips until you obtain a sticky dough.
3. Form around ten balls by rolling spoonfuls of dough between your palms.
4. Finish by rolling each ball in a base of grated coconut.
5. Store your balls in an airtight container.

#4 Almond-Cinnamon Whipped Coffee

So easy to make, and so good! If your morning coffee is boring you, try this light as a cloud version. We used So Mush Organic Energy Boost soluble coffee (for its delicious and tangy flavor), but you can use any coffee from the brand.

1 tbsp hot water.
1 glass of almond milk.
Almond extract (to taste).
Cinnamon powder (to taste).

3. Place as many ice cubes as desired in your glass of plant-based milk.
