Bali Food Tour N.01

-
Hi girl/boy/woman/man and everyone outside or in-between!
I have an very exciting blog post -if I may say so myself- for you today. It's about food, and not just any food but vegan food from bali! I know can't get much better than that am I right?
This summer I went to bali with one of my best friends/niece for two weeks. Seems long enough and even though we literally ate our way through the island we still couldn't visit all the great vegan spots that where there.. However of the ones we did visit you'll find a comprehensive review of below!

kind cafe

Kind cafe is a really popular spot with the insta famous tropical mural on one of the walls. In my opinion definitely worth the ride and wait (it wasn't long for us, but the line can be long). We had Tropical feels/harvest juice which both were very refreshing. The green and grind smoothie bowl which was very good, you couldn't taste the greens at all! Lastly the asian persuasion as a savory dish to balance it all out, which it did a good job at. The noodles with garlic bread, the crunch and perfectly sautéed veggies definitely did the trick. 


crate cafe

Crate cafe is a cool cafe in the heart of changgu, you can meet all you local surf dudes and chicks here and de vibe is just really chill. 
At the craft I had the Mangolicious & the good root, which I unfortunately forgot to take a picture of.. I'm sorry okay, it was my very first balinese meal and I was just to hungry/excited. However it was amazing, the fruit bowl was so sweet and silky and with the shredded coconut it made for a perfect combo. The good rood bowl was just a perfect example of a buddha bowl, very tasty! The second time we went, we shared a cacao granola bowl and a unicorn sandwich. The 'wich was good but nowhere close to how amazing the smoothie bowl was. Still dream about that thing.. Oh and the smoothies where delish as well!


The loft

Here I ate the Vegan bowl & dragon bowl it was nothing too special but definitely worth visiting.
The vegan bowl was an assortment of veggies with nice and crispy tempeh (really one of the best I had) however the spinach was a bit to salty for my liking. The dragon bowl was lovely, I liked the big pieces of mango and granola on top, it added some amazing texture. Also side note; I was on the verge of stealing the spoon, how cute is the little pineapple!

Peloton superfood shop

Peloton is a completely vegan superfood cafe and we loved it, I mean we came here 3 times so pretty much says it all.. 
The first time we shared the Spirulina burger which was nicely spiced and not to heavy on the stomach but still dimmed my craving for a burger. Second we had the jackfruit taco's, they were great, tasted a lot like pulled pork which I never really had but I like the taste of this smokey sweet sensation. The rice paper rolls where okay but the banana bread is for sure a take home while you watch a serie must do. 

 The second tim we shared the black burger and carbonara pasta. As a starter we had te loaded nacho's, they really knew what they were doing with that dish. The black bean crumble with the sour cream and guac were a perfect match and with the nacho chips it reminded me of how vegans don't have to miss out on anything. The burger with sweet potato fries was devoured in no time as was the pasta. But boy let me tell ya that pasta was the best i've probably ever had! The smoked coconut bits tasted exactly like bacon and the tofu carbonara sauce was spiced to perfection and had a incredible creamy texture. You can guess what I had the third time..


avocado factory 

We came here two times as well and order the exact same thing twice just 'cause we loved it so much and where craving it again. We had the Detox with spirunila (hands down the best green juice I've ever had) and the slim down (good not great, we only ordered the detox the 2nd time). The tofu salad was hugeeeeee but I mean we all know by now that I have a big appetite so of course I finished it. It was a-ma-zinggg. If you love salty tofu and avocado you'll love this. (the 2nd time I replaced the croutons for tomatoes, def. recommend). The avo hummus toast was an ideal combination of the mashed avo toast or hummus toast. And with the sugar snap peas it made for a crunchy combo. You can sit next a richfield and enjoy the food with a nice view.
 
So if you ever find yourself in bali, not to worry, pull up this post and enjoy ya self. (N0.2 coming)

Yours Faithfully,
Elianne

Vegan Sushi review

Hey Sushi lover! You've come to the right address if you want to read about me devouring some sushi. I saw a Facebook event named vegan sushi event en needn't know more. I was going. It was held in de stad tuin in Utrecht. The place was small but perfect for the occasion. We started off with a buddha bowl. (last pic) it had orange and purple sweet potato, soy crisps, vegetable and some great sauces. We drank Saki with it, which was served warm.  After that sushi round one came. (middle left) It consisted of mango/wasabi, avocado/guacamole, cucumber/sweet potato/sweet sauce, cucumber/carrot/spicy sauce maki. Im not the biggest fan of wasabi but if you are that one would probably be your favorite. I basically liked all the others. Next round had purple sweet potato/beet mayo, cabbage/curry, soy/sweet sugar maki. (middle right) They were all delicious and gone in no time. It paired perfectly with my mannen liefde beer.  Third came the beyond meat sushi burger. I

What I ate in Cuba

Hello! It's been a while since we last spoke but I think this post will be a good one to catch up ;) This summer I went to Central America including Cuba. As you could probably guess by now, this is a what I ate there as a vegan. As predicted it was quite hard. For one, Cuba doesn't really have import, therefore they only eat what they can grow. Secondly, Cubans looooove their meat/fish and cheese. Luckily there is this space age technology now called the internet. So I could do all my stalking beforehand. The one I'm going to talk about first was based in Vinales called  Finca Agroecológica El Paraiso AKA  organic farm. We arrived after cycling thirty minutes in 40 degrees celsius heat up a steep hill. The view was amazing and made it all worth it. We were sat at a table overlooking the valley and organic farm where birds flew from palmtree too palmtree. After asking if we could have the lunch vegan they gave us a so many plates full of fresh organic food. Includi

The basis of MINERALS

Hello, in this post, I would like to discuss the chemistry of minerals. From a chemical standpoint, dietary minerals are inorganic molecules that do not contain any carbon atoms. This sets them apart from vitamins, which are all organic molecules defined by the presence of carbon atoms.  Our food contains various minerals, some desired and others unwanted. But when does a mineral become a dietary mineral? The group of dietary minerals consists of chemical elements that are essential for the human body. In fact, a more suitable term for dietary minerals would be "dietary elements," although this phrase is not commonly used. Out of the 118 known chemical elements listed in the periodic table, only 21 are essential components of our diet. Once we exclude the four elements found in common organic molecules (carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen), we are left with 17 chemical elements that make up the dietary minerals.  Based on their abundance in our body, dietary minerals are f
