Van-Made Guacamole

by Vanlife Eats | January 25, 2021 | Dips / Sauces

This guacamole recipe is ideal for a campervan kitchen. No cooking required and using the manual blender, means no power required either! It tastes delicious too, win win!

During our vanlife adventure in Sardinia we discovered Fregola, tiny pearls of pasta made by hand which originate from the Italian island. Fregola is a very versatile ingredient and can be used in soups, stews, salads and in this recipe made into a risotto-like pasta dish.

It is one of our favourite campervan kitchen staples. So much so we brought plenty back with us! However, you can find it online (amazon), in posh supermarkets and Italian delis. Although you could substitute it for Orzo or Arborio rice, you may need to add more stock/water.

This recipe can be easily adapted to suit your tastes, camper kitchen supplies and diets – it can be made totally vegetarian and vegan.

Banana & Nutella Omnia cake

by Vanlife Eats | January 18, 2021 | Baking

We love using leftover bananas to make cakes. Without an oven in our van, the Omnia oven makes that all possible. In this one I decided to swirl some nutella through it for extra indulgence (not sure our waistlines appreciate it though!)

Firey Avocado Eggs

by Vanlife Eats | January 14, 2021 | Breakfast, Lunch

Looking for a low carb breakfast or lunch that’s high in healthy fats? I’m sure that’s why this recipe was invented! Egg and avocado are a match made in heaven and in this simple recipe we fire things up with some cayenne pepper and paprika!

This little bowl just bursts with coconut curry flavours. It’s quick and easy to make and use your favourite stir-fry veggies or whatever veggies you have leftover in the fridge. Our version here is protein packed and makes two medium bowls.
