My First Time on Stage — And the Vegan Question I still remember the moment I stepped on stage for the first time.It was at the NABBA Israel Bodybuilding Championship . The announcer called my name as “Miss Bikini – 30+ category.” But he didn’t just say my name. He also mentioned that I’m vegan , and that I’m proof that it’s possible to achieve impressive results on a plant-based diet. Until that moment, I hadn’t realized how many people truly believe that building muscle on

A fun and easy-to-make protein snack. I used frozen "seitan chunks for schnitzels" from "Teva Deli", but you can also use "juicy seitan", for example, the main thing is that it be unseasoned. In preparation for the competition, I made it without olive oil, it was still delicious, but now that I'm on a diet, the fat fits in wonderfully :) I make this snack in a different style every time: paprika and garlic, salt and pepper, cumin and turmeric, betel nut or pesto, whichever yo

Anyone who has already tried Ray’s  products doesn’t really need a recommendation. Beyond how easy their ground mix is to work with, all their products are packed with protein and full of flavor. Here’s a quick and royal recipe for a Saturday meal . תמונה מהאתר של Rays Ingredients – Meatballs 1 package (400 g) Ray’s ground mix for meatballs You can purchase it directly from their website using the code veganbabe , or find it in various supermarkets and also at Nitzat HaDuvdev

Okay, this is insanely good. There’s also a mini size, but I know myself — I’d finish the minis before they even make it home. Guilty. So this size works better for me. Price:  26.9 ILS at Nitzat HaDuvdevanAbout 283 g per package Taste:  Perfect. Slightly vanilla-leaning, and I love that it’s not overly sweet. Downside:  Honestly? Not sure there is one, other than the extra calories if you overdo it. It works beautifully as an addition to almost anything — even on top of ice

Lentils are one of my favorite legumes. They’re rich not only in protein, but also in minerals, vitamins, and dietary fiber. An even bigger advantage is that they’re relatively easy to digest and cook much faster than most other legumes. Ingredients 1 tablespoon olive oil or coconut oil, optional1½ cups red lentils1 bunch parsley1 bunch cilantro1 white onion3 garlic cloves2 small potatoes1 small sweet potato Seasoning I chose: baharat, salt, and black pepper.You can also use

Seitan will always enrich your meal. Raw material is so simple to work with, especially the raw chunks of schnitzels. So this week I made a surprise rice, a rice I remember as a child from the time of eating meat, which my parents used to prepare with pieces of chicken breast. The vegans brought me to try old recipes with plant products. A version with meat that cook the rice along with the chunks. In the vegetable version with the Seitan, I cook the rice separately, simultan

So many times people ask me how my stay fresh? Well, assuming I'm not smoking them, they hold for a week or more. Want to know how? very simple. We forgot for a moment that these are thirsty plants. After all, what will you do with a bouquet of flowers that you bought? Right! Put it in a vase with water. So why not the greens? Because they do not have flowers? So here's my tip. I clean them a little with water, take out stalks (if any) that have yellowed or rotted, and place

I’m addicted to this combo. When I want to boost the protein, I simply sauté cubed tofu or seitan in a pan and it turns into a crazy-good meal. But when I’m craving something lighter and fresher that’s still satisfying, this little beauty exceeds all expectations. The chickpeas must be soaked. Otherwise, you’ll deal with the consequences. I soak them for 24 hours and change the water every few hours. It’s best to cook a big batch, divide into portions, and freeze. That way yo

Ingredients 200 g tofu A handful of spinach leaves sweet pepper A handful of green beans 4 stalks of asparagus 2 garlic cloves 4 cherry tomatoes 4 mushrooms Turmeric, spice "mixed curry" preparation I do not use oil but heat a skillet with boiling water, just a little and make sure that if the water is reduced, add, so that nothing will burn. Cut the vegetables and put them all in a frying pan without spinach, add spices, and slightly lower the flame. As soon as the vegetable

Which protein powder will build your muscles? None of them. I’m constantly asked about the “perfect” protein powder. The truth is, the perfect powder is the one that tastes good to you, fits your macros, and makes sense for your budget. The MRM protein is mainly based on pea and rice protein and is sweetened with stevia. There are four flavors. Personally, I only like the mocha chocolate and the cinnamon. I order it from iHerb. If you’re not familiar with the site, I’ll guide

Tofu comes in a variety of textures and price ranges, and there are quite a few brands on the market. My everyday tofu, the one I use for cooked dishes and sandwiches, is firm and fresh. I usually choose the tofu from “Nitzat HaDuvdevan.” It’s actually produced by Meshek Weiler, who manufacture it for Nitzat. Values per 100 g: Calories: 160Fat: 9 gProtein: 17.5 gCarbs: 1.8 g You’re right, protein values vary from one tofu to another. That’s mainly due to differences in water

Honestly, I was surprised. It’s a spread that really reminds me, for those of us who loved cream cheese as kids, of “Napoleon” style cream cheese. Values per 100 g: Calories: 120Protein: 0 gCarbs: 8 gFat: 9 g Not the most impressive macros, but when you want to indulge, it’s delicious. If you need to boost the protein in your sandwich, I suggest searing a slice of tofu or making tofu scramble, then building your sandwich with this spread, lettuce, tomato, and all the good stu

Sometimes nephews come to visit and sometimes just plain munchies. These cute ones will be a treat for all who want. As I always say, be creative, you can put anything you want.

Mushrooms are another source of protein . They do contain limiting amino acids, but trust your body. In a balanced diet, when mushrooms are part of a meal or a regular eating pattern and not the sole protein source, your body will benefit from them. They’re also rich in minerals and naturally low in fat. And they’re delicious, so why not? Important note: wild mushrooms of any kind, including king oyster mushrooms, should always be cooked, sautéed, or baked before eating. Ingr

This brand also offers non-vegan options, as well as a wide variety of vegan protein powders in different flavors: soy, a pea and fava bean blend, and even hemp. The macros are excellent and the prices are great. The soy protein is very successful. The chocolate flavor is tasty with a velvety texture, the strawberry is perfect, and the coffee flavor is amazing. The pea blend is less suitable for shakes, in my opinion. I tried the chocolate flavor. I’m currently using it for b

There’s no big secret. A calorie deficit is the most accurate place to start. Calorie deficit means consuming less energy (calories) than the amount of energy you expend. Each of us has a different daily energy expenditure. If you want a focused process, the best place to start is with a dietitian who can build a personalized plan for you. If that’s not an option, you can use nutrition and training apps like Cronometer or MyFitnessPal. They’re user-friendly and can help you b

One of the most delicious powders I have tried. Smooth texture, mocha flavored, reminiscent of a delicious ice coffee . I found it on iherb , price in the sky. I really do not consume it regularly. But in the summer, when it's hot and hot, I make perfect cold coffee from this protein powder. With soy milk and ice, sometimes rioting with cocoa chips.
