Gluten Free | what I eat in a week ( simple, healthy meal ideas! )

Hey friends and welcome!!🌞 I decided to eat completely gluten free this week and here are the simple healthy meal ideas I came up with! If you try any of these recipes let me know, I'd love to see it 🥰 PLEASE remember that this week of food is mine, it shouldn't be yours. Fuel your unique body in a way that feels good for you. I'm just a normal human living life, not every meal of mine is perfectly balance or well thought out, I try my best but I'm not a nutritionist.

REMINDER:
gluten is not bad and we shouldn't demonize it. Bread and pasta don't make you fat and carbs aren't bad for your over all health.
Humans lived on bread for so long! But the quality of our wheat has declined. Wheat shouldn't be to blame for so many of us being sensitive to it. We should be blaming monocropping and massive companies that carelessly grow the food the public consumes. I hope as time goes on we can sustain our earth, soil and grow high quality ingredients our beautiful bodies can thrive on.

Sending you so much love!!💛🥰✨🌞🥑🏔️

Blueberry Pancakes
Ingredients:
• 2 cups oat flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 3 finger pinch of salt
• 1 1/3 cup plant milk ( cashew, oat, coconut etc… )
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 cup frozen blueberries
• 1/3 cup walnut pieces
• coconut oil for cooking

Directions:

• in a large bowl add oat flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Mix together

• preheat a nonstick pan on medium-low and add coconut oil

• add milk and vanilla to the bowl and mix batter. Once we’ll mixed fold in blueberries and walnuts!

• once the pan is hot ( MAKE SURE ITS HOT BEFORE YOU ADD YOUR PANCAKE BATTER! ) add the batter and cook until both sides are golden brown. These pancakes won’t bubble in the same way normal pancakes do, but they will release easily from the pan once golden on the first side!

• enjoy with maple syrup and cinnamon ✨

Green sauce

Ingredients:
1/2 cup raw cashews
2 handfuls of spinach
1/2 cup basil ( tightly packed )
1/2 avocado
1/4 block firm tofu
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp white balsamic vinegar ( sub for more lemon juice )
1/3 cup -1/2 cup salted pasta water OR plain water and add 1 tsp salt to the list of spices

You can either soak the cashews in hot water for 20-30 minutes or blend them first to break them down. If you do this, make sure you scrape the sides of the blender after.
Throw everything into the blender and blend until completely smooth. Start with 1/3 cup of water and add small splashes if needed!

Rice Paper Roll Dip:
4 tbsp PB2 ( just use 2 tbsp real PB lol )
sriracha sauce to taste ( I used about 2 tsp )
1 tbsp tamari ( I used soya sauce NOT THINKING! )
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp rice vinegar ( sub for lime juice )
SMALL splashes of water until you reach your desired consistency

 Pickled red onion:

1 large red onion
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/2 - 1 tsp chilli flakes
1 tsp salt
1/2 tbsp maple syrup

Slice the red inion thinly and pack into a glass jar. add the rest of the ingredients into a pot. Heat on the stove on low-med heat until simmered
Pour vinegar mixture over onions, seal the jar and allow to sit on the counter over night

I'm not usually one for over sharing but I've just finished my first week of chemotherapy and I won't lie I'm scared of how it's affecting me, but your enthusiasm for the topic helped put my mind at ease. So thank you, you have no idea how much I needed this today

[mandydyer]

You said your green pasta didn’t have any fruits but technically avocado is a fruit so you did have one in there technically speaking lol. Love your videos and you Julia. You make me smile every time I watch one of your videos and they give so much inspiration and relaxation. Love you friend 💛💛

[Amatory]

Hi! So happy when I see that you’ve dropped a video. Enjoy your day ❤

[lsunxo]

Hi Julia! So the veggie specifically is called yu choy (‘yoo-Choi ’) but in chinese culture, we call any green leafy veggie choy sum (‘choi sum’)

So you can call it either!

[HelloItsLi]

Hi Julia! Your videos are such a breath of fresh air. I'm glad you are doing your best to try and set some boundaries. It can be difficult keeping personal life personal. I read something profound recently that stuck with me: "Draw your boundaries with sharpie, not chalk" - John Kim. Love you so much! Thank you for all you do!

[sophieschremmer]

Hi Julia, love your videos❤ I think you forgot to leave the measurements of your vinegar mixture for your pickled onions?😊 would you be so kind to tell us the ingredients? I would love to know them to make them, too. Thank you so much

[franciscachesca]

Absolutely love that you wrote the ingrediënts but also the instructions down. Thank you.

[sinarobyn]

So you’re telling me you are not a singer? Or at least sing as a hobbie?? Are you kidding me. I played that singing freestyle a good few times and jammed to it. Like girl, I’m a singer and I will take that melody you sang and turn it into a song, I’m not kidding! Your voice is crystal clear with such a STUNNING tone. You really need to know that you are very talented. And you’re telling me you free-styled that melody? woah 😮😮😮

[sarahhoward]

I love your weekly food vids! Can we see a grocery haul sometime ?
