This Unconventional but Delicious Way to use Vegan Coffee Creamer

Sundays are for meal prep, which also means cleaning out the fridge and pantry. This recipe combines curry seasoned cauliflower and vegan coffee creamer that can be stored for up to a week, making an ideal addition to the Monday through Friday grind. Toss them into salad, in a wrap, or as a side. Vegan coffee creamer mixed with curry seasoning takes this ingredient and applies it in an unconventional way, adding more to its use. Whether you drink it black or don’t drink coffee at all, vegan coffee creamer can be used in a number of unconventional (and delicious) ways should you need a little inspiration.

This recipe calls for cauliflower but any roasting vegetables will do. Young carrots, beets, brussels sprouts — the list goes on. Try sprinkling it on grapefruit, pineapple or in a fruit salad. Add a layer of flavor (and nutritional benefits) to a chilled summer soup, or blend it in your next piña colada.

As for vegan coffee creamers, I like the one that does double duty — flavor and nutritional benefits. A creamer with lion’s mane mushroom extract and MCT powder for instance, the two key ingredients linked to supporting brain cell growth that may help protect against alzheimer’s disease
