Vegetarian Star

During a recent interview with USA Today, Carrie Underwood ate a veggie burger, fries and milkshake–which considers to be a rare treat.

“I don’t do milkshakes often,” Underwood said. “I probably haven’t had one in years, to be honest.”

But a milkshake could be closer to your grasp than previously thought, if you substitute healthier ingredients for high calorie ones.

Carrie had a shake with Oreos, for example. A McDonald’s McFlurry with Oreos has 550 calories and 17 grams of fat.

Contrast that to this vegan milkshake with chocolate, banana and strawberries with only approximately 250 calories and 5 grams of fat.

1 Large Banana, chopped and frozen
3/4 cup Vanilla Soymilk (Light)
3 tbsp. Special Dark Cocoa
1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
60 grams strawberries

Directions
Place all ingredients in blender, blend until smooth and serve immediately.

Sure could bring a  lot more boys to the yard with that shake.

Much like Bryan Adams exposed himself to Rachael Ray, Alicia Silverstone has also opened her refrigerator to allow the celebrity chef and everyone else see what she might stock in any given day.

Here’s a peek for you food voyeurists:

RR: I don’t like regular mayonnaise, but I see you have Vegenaise—does that taste anything like mayo?

AS: I have friends who eat meat who started eating Vegenaise and love it—I don’t see any difference at all. If anything, it’s richer and creamier. You should try it!

RR: We’ll see—it’s a texture issue for me. You have almond butter in there—do you like it better than peanut butter?

AS: I know almond butter is better for me, but I do sometimes eat peanut butter. I use it mostly to make my version of Rice Krispies Treats, which I’m very proud of. I’ll give you the recipe!

Actually, we can do that.

So you want to go vegetarian, but don’t think you can do without the cow every now and then.

How on earth are you going to survive?

Skinny Bitch co-author Rory Freedman suggests replacing your favorite meats with a plant version.

“Have that same meal, but just change it up to something plant based,” Rory said, according to Latimesmagazine.com. “So instead of a steak, have a tofu steak. Use Earth Balance (vegan butter) in your mashed potatoes or almond milk on your cereal.”

Lightlife  Steak Style Strips are good way to pump up your fajita or stir fry.

And seitan makes a wonderful base to bread, fry, saute and season to taste.

Once you’ve created your own animal free Country Fried Steak and Gravy, you’ll wonder why you ever started out with a bloody dish in the first place.

Audrey Kitching whipped up some vegan blueberry pancakes and washed them down with green tea.

It’s getting colder in some parts of the world, and a great to motivate yourself to get out of bed when it’s 13 degrees outside is to wake up to warm fluffy goodness.

Vegans can choose a dairyless butter like Earth Balance and use egg replacements like Ener-G.

Try out this recipe Moby featured awhile back on epicurious.com.
