Ingredients
1 lemon (zested)
A cup of coconut milk (canned or homemade)
1.5 tablespoons of lemon juice
A quarter cup of avocado pulp
1 tablespoon of dark cocoa powder
4 tablespoons of wheat four

3. 2 Ingredient Chocolate Vegan Sauce for Pancakes & Muesli
I love this pancake topping recipe because it complements both of Mu Mu’s specialty breakfast foods: Mu Mu Muesli and Mu Mu Magic. You can pour it over a plate of fluffy (and healthy!) pancakes, but you can also drizzle it over cold cereal or even hot muesli oatmeal.
Then, top either dish with heart-shaped fruit for an extra holiday touch.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup of raw vegan cocoa powder

When you’re buying gifts for vegan friends, it’s especially meaningful to source from exclusively ethical brands. Many people who eat a plant-based diet do it for the health benefits. But they also do it because they care deeply about fair treatment of the environment and animals. And that’s why they’ll really appreciate the extra effort you put in to select products from ethical brands!
When you buy from a small business, you’re typically supporting individuals who use natural ingredients or materials rather than mass-produced, environmentally toxic materials (food, clothing, or other items).
7. Zero Waste Vegan Gift Baskets for Her
Call me biased, but I think your vegan girlfriend would love a bag of muesli cereal or healthy pancakes mix tucked into her gift basket. No matter what the theme! She’ll know you did the research to find an ethical zero waste brand, and your thoughtfulness will make the gift a thousand times more meaningful. This list also includes cute kitchen tea towels and eco-friendly utensils.
