We all have the opportunity to create a life we are proud of. Three years ago, the beautiful Jade behind @theadventuresofjade begun her journey to do just that. We had a chance this week to ask Jade a few questions about her lifestyle & outlook on this beautiful world! We were also lucky enough to score a recipe from Jade's new eBook; The Happy Handbook & attached at the bottom for you all!

Bambusa: When did you make the transition to vegan? What influenced your decision?


Jade: My husband and I decided to go vegan just over three years ago. I had been vegetarian for a year prior, but decided that after watching a speech by Gary Yourovsky ("Best Speech Ever" on YouTube, please watch!) that I couldn't eat animal products any longer. Over time I grew closer to the ethical side of things and really dived in deep.

 

Bambusa5 things we will always find in your fridge?
Jade: Tofu, cucumber, oat milk, orange juice + curly kale!


Bambusa: What is your favourite recipe you have created?
Jade: I really, really love the cheesy pasta bake from my eBook "The Happy Handbook" - it's so tasty!

Ingredients:


- 1 can of chickpeas
- 1 tsp of cumin
- 1 tsp of paprika
- 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp of salt + pepper combination
- 1/2 tsp of garlic powder
- Olive oil
- Lettuce
- 1 avocado
- 1/4 block of soft tofu
- 1 small clove of garlic
- 1 tbsp. of nutritional yeast


 

 Method:


•   Firstly, you must roast your chickpeas! Drain and rinse your chickpeas then transfer to a bowl. Add your spices to the chickpeas and make sure they are completely coated by adding a drizzle of olive oil. Transfer to a tray lined with baking paper.
•   Let your chickpeas roast for 15-20 minutes or until you see them getting crispy.
•   Wash and cut your lettuce and add it to a bowl with cubed avocado.
•   For your tofu mayo; simply add your tofu, garlic and nutritional yeast to a blender with a pinch of salt and pepper + 1/4 cup of water. Blend, then keep adding more water until it’s the perfect consistency. It shouldn’t be too runny, but not too thick either.
•   Pop your chickpeas on your salad and then drizzle the mayo!
•   Add a shake of paprika and enjoy!
