Alternative sweet breakfast for everyone following a low carb diet that can not face a savory paleo breakfast.
As I mentioned in my previous post, - a long time ago, sorry I was so busy there was not time for posting - I am eating as low carb paleo inspired as possible to avoid triggering inflammatory processes in my joints. I used to love porridge in the morning, when I found out I'd best stop having grains I started panicking a bit! What was I supposed to have instead?
Meat for breakfast? Eggs every day?
My happy medium is to have pancakes with a variety of flavours and organic yoghurt or quark.
I know the serious paleos out there will say, there was no dairy in a cave man's diet. I like dairy and do not seem to have any adverse reactions to it, so I like to keep it in my menues.
Yes, it does take a little bit of time in the morning to prepare the pancakes, around 20...
It's not too late, this delicious traditional british Christmas pudding does not have to be made months in advance, make it last minute. No ripening needed.
Have you recently established a new way of healthy natural eating? Maybe you have gone Paleo or you are following a metabolic type specific diet - you don't need to dread the Christmas feasting and having to restrain yourself or explain to others why you don't want to have this or that. Just take a little time to prepare a few treats yourself and let others try the delicious treats with you! They won't even know that they are sugar and gluten free. They just tell you how Yum it is.
I don't see why we should break with our clean eating habits that make us feel good for Christmas, setting back all the healing the body has been able to do so far. Just take a minute to remember how bad you felt eating the refined packaged food; do you...
Paleo Christmas Cookies with super food toppings, YES you can have christmas treats without the sugar crash after indulging.
By sweetening your cookie dough with natural stevia-sweet sweetener, you save calories and make the treat more blood sugar friendly.
Now, you probably think: how am I going to make the biscuits look nice without using icing sugar or other artificial biscuit decorations?
I was panicking about that too, especially since I had booked the christmas cookie making Sunday with a friend weeks and weeks back before I had stopped eating gluten and the occasional refined sugar.
I have been on a Paleo way of eating for a few weeks now, and I am feeling so good I did not want to wreck all the good work the healthy food has already done for my wellbeing.
I put myself under even more pressure by inviting some more girls to join us for the fun. None of my friends had every tried stevia before, so all I could do is hope for an...
Snowball like christmassy almond macaroons with lots of protein and good nut fat.
This easy and quick recipe for macaroons is the only baking I have done since my last post and eating an all paleo style diet. A lot has changed in my approach to food and you will see this reflected in my christmas cookie and cake recipes I am going to post over the next few weeks.
Because I didn't use any wafers under the macaroons, they are also gluten free - which I have found works better with my digestion.
Makes 38pcs (no wafers needed)
Prep time: 10min
Baking time: 10 min at 180 degree Celsius
Cooling time: 15 min
You need:
175g/ 5 Large Egg whites
100g Almond flour/ ground almonds
couple of drops vanilla extract
pinch of salt
1-2 knife-tips Stevia-sweet 90% powder dissolved in 1 table spoons hot water
Note: getting the sweetness to the desired level is a matter of trial and error, the best thing is to start with a smaller amount of whatever Stevia you have on hand, it can be ready-use, liquid or...
A gluten free birthday treat for fit and health conscious individuals, sweetened with natural zero calorie stevia sweetener.
I came across the Castagnaccio – a traditional Italian dessert cake based on chestnut flour - when looking for a baked birthday gift for my super fit Italian friend Martina; she is from Tuscany, so I thought I'd make her a birthday treat that is from her region since she had to celebrate her birthday in England away from family and friends.
The recipe was perfectly suited for what I wanted, it is traditional to Tuscany, has healthy ingredients that are great for any health conscious eater and it's suitable to make in small portions and keeps for a few days as we were going out for food she would have to keep it for later.
The chestnut flour cake originating from the Tuscan region uses mainly chestnuts, which represented an important widely available food source for the poor peasants and farmers. Even the other ingredients are all locally...
