If you keep a vegan or gluten free diet, you’re probably already following minimalistbaker on Instagram. This account posts easy, fast, delicious and healthy recipes. Here are some of our favorite easy dinners from Minimalist Baker.

Veggie Sliders

Say goodbye to soggy, tasteless veggie burgers. These plant-based sliders require just seven simple ingredients and are full of flavor.

Pumpkin Black Bean Soup

This is the most comforting soup you could make on a winter night. It includes both Thai and Mexican influences with no meat or dairy required.

Chickpea Bolognese With Carrot Noodles

Do you miss bolognese since going vegan? Here’s your solution. Chickpea bolognese is healthy, comforting and it comes together in just 40 minutes.

Portobello Steaks With Avocado Chimichurri

It’s not just steak and chicken that benefit from a great marinade. Marinating portobello mushrooms gives them a rich, steak-like flavor that pairs beautifully with this summer chimichurri.

Curried Sweet Potato And Chickpeas

This dish is incredibly easy and made entirely on one baking sheet, which means fewer dishes for you! It’s the perfect weeknight meal when paired with kale and tahini.

Who knew that the secret for clear, glowing skin may be sitting right in front of you in your kitchen? Forget spending time and money at your local spa, you can give yourself a luxury facial in the comfort of your own home. Here are a few DIY face masks you have to try.

Bananas

This potassium-rich fruit works wonders on your skin, leaving it feeling softer and moisturized. Mash a ripe banana and let it sit on your face for 10 minutes before washing. Life-changing!

Bananas are one of the most nutritional and healing fruits readily available today. I have had over the years a love hate relationship with them, not too, hard or soft – I'm super fussing about what state of ripeness I eat a banana.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Who else is like that?? or am I the only weird bananaphobe out there???⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They are 76% water and are packed with vitamins such as vitamins C and B6 and minerals such as potassium, copper, and manganese. This high water/nutrient ratio makes them a great electrolyte food perfect for busy moms, workout enthusiasts, and people on the go. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Bananas are also an excellent “brain food” great for heavy thinkers and are known to help build strong muscles as well as strengthen the nervous system. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @medicalmedium says that bananas contain high levels of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) which along with insulin helps to promote nutrient absorption and assimilation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Bananas support the natural acidophilus bacteria in the bowel which helps promote a healthy and functional digestive tract as well as keep the immune system healthy and strong. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Bananas can prevent ulcers by strengthening the surface cells of the stomach lining which helps to create a thicker barrier against digestive acid and pepsin-the two main causes of ulcers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Bananas are also an excellent food for athletes as they can help replenish energy and revitalize the body instantly. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bananas #planoly #healthyfromtheinsideout #healthcoach #healer #natureatitsbest #holistichealing #foodismedicine #thehealingkiwi #coach #gravesdisease #autoimmune #healingfromtheinsideout #powerofplants #plantpower #medicalmedium

Oatmeal

You may have noticed that oatmeal is a common ingredient in face washes and moisturizers. That’s because oatmeal contains acne-fighting agents and can quickly soothe irritated skin. A simple mix of warm water and oatmeal on your face for 15 minutes can work wonders.

Avocado

Not only for toast and guac! Avocado is extremely moisturizing and can quickly fix dry, flaky skin. Mash a ripe avocado with a fork and apply it to dry skin for 15 minutes. Wash it off with warm water and prepare to be amazed.

Eggs

Though you may have never dreamed of smearing eggs all over your face, they actually have powerful skin-tightening effects. Beat a single egg white and apply it to the face for 10 minutes. Rinse with warm water and moisturize as usual.

The human brain is an incredibly sophisticated organ that controls just about every function in our body. Like every other organ in the body, the brain requires nutrients and other raw materials to properly function. Here is a list of some of the best brain fuel you can provide to your mind.

Broccoli

Cruciferous vegetables have been proven to help improve your brain’s cognitive function. A daily serving of broccoli or other similar leafy greens can keep your brain sharp.

Whole Grains

The brain’s main energy source is glucose. Whole grains are a complex carbohydrate that allows a steady release of glucose into the bloodstream.

Fish

Fatty, oily fish such as salmon and anchovies provide essential nutrients to the brain. Regular consumption of these fish has been known to decrease the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

Olive Oil

Contrary to popular belief, not all oils are bad for you. Olive oil is rich with mono-saturated fat which helps keep the heart strong. After all, what’s good for the heart is good for the brain.

Berries

Blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries are jam-packed with antioxidants that help improve memory. Additionally, berries have a low glycemic index despite their delicious sweetness. This helps stabilize blood sugar levels in the body.

Model and wife to Justin Bieber, Hailey Baldwin recently opened up about her bizarre skincare routine and she shocked us all. Baldwin revealed that her pre-wedding skincare routine consisted of lots and lots of a special moisturizer with an even more special ingredient: her own blood.

The model’s beloved face cream costs a whopping $1,400, and it isn’t a simple process. First, you must set up an in-person meeting with dermatologist Barbara Sturm. She takes a sample of your blood, separates the plasma and combines it with a shea butter-based cream. The plasma rich moisturizer is supposedly meant to reduce skin inflammation and promote tissue healing, though there hasn’t been any scientific evidence to prove this claim.

“I love that weird blood cream,” said Baldwin in an interview. “It is fascinating to me, and it works. I’m a nerd about the science of skin care and health, so for me, I’m like, ‘This is so cool!’”

The blood-infused moisturizer may seem overpriced and over the top, but it isn’t the first time Baldwin used her fortune to invest in something lavish. Baldwin and Bieber put $1.3 million towards their wedding. Roughly $300,000 of that amount went just towards the flower arrangements!

The average person is often so dependent on plastic that it seems impossible to ditch it for good. Trashing single-use plastic may seem intimidating at first, but there are a few small yet meaningful ways to cut down that make a huge difference to our environment. After all, eight million tons of plastic ends up in our ocean each year!

Ditch Straws

After a video went viral on social media of a sea turtle who painfully got caught in a straw, people all over the world were motivated to ditch straws. Metal or paper straws make a great alternative.

Bring Your Own Bag

Spending a couple of dollars on a sturdy reusable bag will prevent you from taking a flimsy plastic bag every time you grocery shop.

No More Glitter

Glitter and confetti are often made up of such small particles of plastic that it’s almost impossible to prevent them from ending up in our oceans. There are many types of biodegradable sparkles to use instead for a big event.

Shop in Bulk

The majority of plastic waste is usually generated in the kitchen. Bring your own bags and jars to a bulk grocery store to stock up on food without the waste.
