I can’t wean myself from the childish taste of creamy, addictive peanut butter. Really, I’ve tried, but what’s the point? Besides, since my entry into nutrition-discovering, I’ve found out that peanut butter really isn’t so bad. Of course, you don’t want to be ingesting toxic amounts of sugar and hydrogenated trans…
This is a weird recipe, but I can assure you it tastes quite dreamy. The oats provide a thickness to the ‘smoothie’, while adding fibre and filling carbohydrates. You could drink this out of a glass, but my teaspoon-and-bowl obsession means that I tend to eat my smoothies instead…
Green smoothies can all too often be loaded with fructose from so much fruit. I guess, to disguise the ‘green’ taste, this is usually necessary. However, I use a combination of low-fructose coconut water and kiwifruit (or berries) to sweeten this green monster! Coconut water is incredibly healthy, hydrating, and…
I absolutely adore this smoothie. It is smooth, frosty, and utterly thick, and tastes like liquified carrot cake pudding! Carrots are rich in Vitamins A, C, E, and K, and provide calcium, iron, antioxidants (beta-carotene), potassium, folate, manganese, zinc, and phosphorous. Carrots – with their carotenoids and antioxidants – may…
This cake was actually so huge, I’d suggest halving the portion size for just a single serving. I couldn’t eat it all, and had to give half to my sister. That’s really saying something with my huge appetite! The coconut flour and eggs provide protein, while keeping this low-carb, fibre-filled, and…
I love thickshakes, and especially those that are so thick you have to eat them with a spoon! A teaspoon, for preference. Wholegrain oats are packed with fibre, and beta glucans to keep you full (and improve your immune system defences). They may also lower the risk of Type 2…
I make these for my sister’s breakfast nearly every day (or night, really, since they soak in advance). The orange is a medium-fructose fruit, so I sometimes eat this myself – and I know why she likes it! The creaminess of the swollen oats, combined with the sharp sweetness from…
This makes a quick snack, meal, or even dessert. You can adjust the flavourings however you’d like – make it chocolatey, fruity, nutty – or just eat it plain. Coconut flour is full of healthy fats, protein, and fibre. It helps control blood sugar, and is far lower in carbohydrates…
These are deliciously healthy, and the chocolate is definitely acceptable. For breakfast. Oh, yah. The wholegrain, filling oats provide healthy carbohydrates, and the psyllium husks thicken and fiberise. I love oats for breakfast – especially more digestible soaked ones – as they keep me going for hours, and are incredibly healthy. Oats…
This cake is super-delicious, super-soft, and super-fluffy! The berries make a lovely, sweet surprise in the centre of the cake, without adding too much fructose. Soaking the oats in the batter creates a moist, tender cake, as well as being easier to digest. With filling oats, coconut flour, and psyllium…
