Some mornings I really don’t have a clue for what to eat… And that’s how I came up with this avocado-yoghurt. It’s creamy with a bit of sourness just like yoghurt and of course filling. Add the toppings you like, maybe a granola or a mix of fruits or berries?
When summer is coming, I always want to eat red, juicy and sweet watermelon. Not just a small piece but lots, like really a lot! One warm morning the other day I made this refreshing smoothie with watermelon and fresh mint.
Some days are better than others. Or you just decide to make them better. No matter what. Making these avocado pancakes with cashew cream and fresh blueberries could most possibly be a good way in right direction.
When spring and summer is coming, my body is asking me more and more to give it raw food. Crispy, green and healthy food that makes my body feel full of vitality and strength. Below I have written down my top 3 in raw breakfasts’.
I like to have a sandwich every now and then but have been struggling with finding good spreads that stands up to my requirements. It should be really good to eat (obviously!), shouldn’t be from a package, preferably vegan and of course also low carb. Difficult combination. But challenges are to be adopted! This is one of the spreads that I created so far. A delicious mushroom paté.
How is it possible to make a great tasting bread out of cauliflower and beetroot? I have absolutely no idea but what I do know, is that it works. The vegetables (and some more good ingredients) form together a moist bread that goes perfectly with any kind of spread or why not just plain butter?
Sometimes you need something quick for when in a hurry. Maybe you overslept, maybe you need something in between work and sport or maybe you just want to munch on something with your afternoon tea. And you want it to be good for you. The keyword here is planning. Because you just know, this will happen every now and then. It happens me more often than I would like. But when prepared, it doesn’t cause any problems at all. You just know, “I go the freezer, pick out my healthy muffin and I will be set to go”. In other words, a good feeling in mind and stomach. The muffins are truly filling and full of fiber due to the healthy coconut flour (not to be mixed up with finely grated coconut!). The zucchini makes it moist, the nuts and seeds give it a crunch and the blueberries create a sweet explosion in your mouth every now and then. No needs for sugar, gluten or any milk products. Hurrah! Let’s get to work! Breakfast muffins Makes 7 muffins Ingredients …
If you recently started with reducing your carbs in your diet, you probably are also starting to miss a thing or two. One is probably bread. Cause, let’s be honest. It’s so easy to just grab a sandwich when in hurry or when you don’t have any mega-creative ideas about what to make. But! Cutting the carbs, doesn’t mean that you will never be able to get a great sandwich again. You just have to start making your own bread! Does is sound difficult? It’s not!
On internet and in different cooking books you can find recipes for cashew yoghurt. A great alternative if you want to cut milk products in your diet and still enjoy creamy yoghurt.
I’m a weather person, I can’t help it. The light and the sun, the clouds and the rain have an impact on me (as for many others I presume). The autumn season have finally hit The Netherlands with rain and a bit lower temperatures (even though we have had the warmest October here ever according to the news). The darkness makes it tempting to stay inside, light some candles and eat real comfort food. So I do!
