Lime coconut manna and white chocolate truffles -sugar free

Lime coconut manna and white chocolate truffles -sugar free

Zesty, refreshing lactose free lime coconut manna truffles with cocoa butter. Nice recipe I mixed up with all ingredients I like  a lot, especially the coconut manna/ butter is so delicious I wanted to use it in combination instead of just spooning it out of the glass. The Lime coconut truffles are suitable for Paleo and Vegetarian as well as people with Lactose intolerance - really a great sweet for everyone. The recipe is very simple too, so kid’s can help; they will love getting their fingers sticky when forming the little zesty truffle balls. I like to use re-usable silicon cases to avoid wasting paper or packaging. We are also ticking the blood sugar friendliness box too with the help of the all natural stevia-sweet extract powder or liquid. Make it with Coconut oil, fresh egg yolks and sweeten it up with all natural stevia-sweet extract. I think next time I will use fresh orange juice to make these, its bound to work well.   Makes:  10 little balls Prep time: 10 min Forming the balls:  10-15min   You need: 50g coconut...

Butter-free Buttercream  with Coconut oil and Stevia

Butter-free Buttercream with Coconut oil and Stevia

Great all round cake decorating cream, change the flavouring to suit the occasion. This Butter-free Buttercream is Paleo and Lactose intolerance diet friendly. Use it for gateaux or cupcakes, spread it on tray bakes or just spoon it out of the cup. I am using  the mayonaise/ butter cream approach to create this stevia sweetened sugar free creamy dream which will keep you blood sugar levels steady with its  low Carb / No Carb make up. Check out this great  blog post by Mark Sisson on why controlling the carbohydrates/ sugar intake could help you stay healthy and why it is so important to keep the blood sugar levels steady to avoid giving yourself  Type 2 diabetes. Now I should probably also calm you down on the large amount of fat that goes into this recipe, it is good fat! Coconut oil is highly beneficial, I have lots of it every day and I am staying the same, what makes me explode is Carbs, Fat can make you happy and calm. Listen to...

Coconut Flour Almond-Chocolate Sponge Cake – Sugar FREE with Stevia

Coconut Flour Almond-Chocolate Sponge Cake – Sugar FREE with Stevia

This must be one of the best moist sponge cake base recipes I have converted from a sugar laden, wheat flour original recipe I used to use when I didn't know any better. This is a great little recipe for Paleo Valentine treats or any other special occasion cakes. You can decorate or fill it with Coconut mana or try my lactose and sugar free "Butter-free Buttercream" made with Coconut oil and natural stevia-sweet extract, good for the gut and the soul. Not too heavy or sweet. Fill it with fresh fruit and whipped cream or just have it as it is, this recipe has definitely made it into my personal top 10 cake bases. Makes: a small 12cm heart shaped sponge cake 7cm high  - enough for two to share Prep time: 10 min Cooking: 18min at 180 degree celsius   For the sponge cake base you need: 2 medium eggs 40g ground almonds - mixed ground nuts work too. 2 tbsp. unsweetened Cocoa powder 30g organic virgin Coconut oil 1 tbsp hot water with 1 tbsp instant coffe - optional! couple of...

Gluten free high fiber breakfast PANCAKES with stevia

Gluten free high fiber breakfast PANCAKES with stevia

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...

No added sugar, gluten free – Traditional British Christmas Pudding for ONE with Stevia

No added sugar, gluten free – Traditional British Christmas Pudding for ONE with Stevia

  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...
