You may want to take a seat for this one. Brace yourself for one interesting creation, or should I say, one interestingly delicious creation! Don't be scared, this is totally vegan, totally "not processed", and totally (creepyly) similar in texture and look or "real" mozzarella sticks. Halloween is coming up in a month or so; the more "creepy" recipe like this, the better! But really, don't be scared, it will make sense in a moment and your life will be forever changed.Β

In a modern world of so many various foods we now have access too and so many creative ideas and alternatives running around in our heads (and social media), there is always a way to "recreate" just about any recipe to fit and resemble your dietary guidelines. What's the magical "mozzarella" imposter we have here? I hope you didn't cheat and scroll down to the recipe already....but can you guess?

HEARTS OF PALM! Yes! Those funny canned sticks that look like short little string cheeses without any of the dairy. So what exactly are hearts of palm? Also known as "palmitos", it's the silky, ivory, core of the stem of a palm plant from Costa Rica originally. They're high in fiber, zinc, vitamin C, iron, and vitamin B2. There is only about 25 calories per 4 hearts and you'll typically find them canned or jarred as "salad cut" rounds or whole sticks.

Look at that stringy texture! Can't forget a little marinara, either! The hearts are simply coated in a quick little gluten-free Rice Chex "panko" breading I "smashed" together and a slurry of corn starch so the coating stuck. I was so impressed by the results though and I've made these many times now. I made them for the first time last summer, 2016, after my friend posted an Instagram picture of "vegan mozzarella" sticks she had at a restaurant. I was intrigued and knew I had to tryout my own recipe for them! The photos from my first go-round were terrible and then I kept forgetting to reshoot...until now...

They aren't even complicated to make. Fun, weird, and delicious, but super easy! No fried cheese here! Mozzarella sticks are such a classic you'll find on restaurant menus as an appetizer. I did enjoy some when I was younger, but my mom always deterred my brother and I for ever ordering or eating them due to the choking hazard of that super stringy cheese. Probably one of the worst appetizers you could order at a restaurant too. I mean...like I said...FRIED CHEESE. O, American food πŸ˜‰

There is so much fun happening here! Tell a kid to eat their vegetables and they'll be requesting them in the form of "mozzarella sticks" πŸ˜‰ No need to worry about the dairy, all that deep frying oil, or the need for a dedicated gluten-free fryer at that! You can have fun with these and add other spices to the coating too! Make them super spicy, maybe a little curry, whatever floats your "food imposer" boat!

So tell me:

+ What's your favorite way to use hearts of palm? I was so surprised to learn that my mom loves them!

    Ohh these are really interesting! I always use a store-bought block of cheese for vegan cheese sticks (not healthy at all πŸ˜€ ) so these hearts of palm-sticks look like the perfect healthy alternative!! I actually never had hearts of palms, I don't think I've seen them in stores here, I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for them the next time I'm grocery shopping!

    And even then I would NEVER have guessed that they're from the silky ivory core of the stem of a palm plant!

Tropical vibes in a glass as you soak up the final weeks of summer sun! πŸ₯³ Get out your blender (I used "one of" my many @nutribullet blenders), a can of @thaikitchen unsweetened light coconut milk, @dolesunshine pineapple, and strawberries (use frozen or fresh and local, but freeze them yourself)! Blend everything up smooth and creamy. Add a splash of pineapple juice if you like your mocktails less thick! 🫠🍹
