- 1/2 servingProbiotic VanillaDigestive Support Protein
- 1 tbsp dairy-free milk
- 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie seasoning
Method
- In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients except for the butter. Once combined, cut in the cubed butter with a fork until it resembles course chunks (should be slightly bigger than pea sized).
- Pop the bowl into your freezer and preheat your oven to 400°F. While the oven is preheating, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and do a few minutes of self-care.
- Once the oven has reached baking temperature, place the chilled dough on your baking sheet. Using your hands (wet them, it helps!) pat the dough out into a circle that's 1 -1 1/2 inches thick.
- Cut the circle into 6 triangles and bake for 11-14 minutes. Let them completely cool before glazing!
Glaze
- Whisk the ingredients for either glaze option in a small bowl. Dunk or spoon the glaze over the scones. Let them sit on a cooling rack to harden.
Vegan Shepherd's Pie
Ingredients
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 16 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 6 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 2 cups frozen peas
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tbsp gluten-free corn flour
- 2 cups vegetable stock
- 1/2cup red wine (optional)
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2.2 lbs golden sweet potatoes
- 2 servings Just Natural Clean Lean Protein
- 1/4 cup plant-based milk
- Fresh herbs – we used 1 bay leaf and a sprig of rosemary
- Salt and pepper
Method
- To make the mashed potatoes for the top of the Shepherd’s pie, peel the potatoes, chop them roughly and boil until tender in a large pot of water. Drain the water and mash the potato, adding in the milk, salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Now it’s time to prepare the vegetable pie filling! Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a large oven proof pot (or if you don’t have one of these, a pan), heat the olive oil over a medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion has turned translucent.
- Add the mushrooms, carrots, and herbs to the pot and sauté until the carrot is softened.
- Add the tomato paste and corn flour to the pot and stir. Pour in the red wine and stir again, making sure to scrape all of the browned bits off the bottom of your pot. Allow to cook for two minutes before slowly adding the stock to the pot, stirring continuously until a gravy forms. Season with salt and pepper and add the protein. Stir to combine and allow filling to simmer over a low heat until it thickens further.
- Once thickened, remove the herbs and stir in the peas. Turn off the heat.
- If using an oven-proof pot, top your filling with the mashed potatoes, spreading it out evenly on top. If not using an oven-proof pot, transfer your mixture to an ovenproof baking dish and repeat the same process.
- Lightly brush the top of your potato with extra virgin olive oil and bake in the oven for 20 minutes at 400°F.
Plant-Based Protein Burger

- Fry the mushrooms until their liquid has evaporated and they are slightly browned and then turn the pan off and transfer the mushrooms to a bowl to cool.
- Drain the cannellini beans and blitz them in a food processor with the dates, garlic, parsley, tahini and tamari, pulsing until the mixture is relatively smooth.
