Fat Free Foods - Beware!

The package says it is fat-free, Guilt free or free-from-fat.

This is one of the biggest food myths out there.

That  does not mean it is calorie-free. 

Most fat-free snacks are loaded with sugar to make them taste nice.












 

Gluten Free Pancakes

1 cup almond meal
1/4 cup ground linseed
  8 egg whites
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp Heilala Vanilla syrup

Mix well, pour into a pan with 1tbsp coconut oil. Add blueberries. Enjoy!


My version from this original recipe to make 2 pancakes

1/4 cup almond meal
1 tablespoon ground linseed (flaxseed)
2 egg whites
1-2 tablespoon rice milk ( can use cow's milk, your preference:)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
optional - 1 teaspoon acai powder

When you see the mixture in the bowl, you may have doubts as to how this mixture will turn into pancakes. However once into the pan, it cooks nicely and quickly.

Serve hot pancakes with a dollop of yoghurt and blueberries

Cauliflower Rice

• - 1 large head cauliflower
• - 1/2 Teaspoon ground curry
• - 1 green onion finely chopped
• - dash of cayenne pepper, sea salt, ground black pepper
• - 1 Tablespoon coconut oil 

 

For the cauliflower rice chop it into small florets, then steam them for a few minutes until they get a little soft, then toss them into a food processor to dice them fine
Now that the cauliflower is chopped, toss it into a hot pan with a bit of coconut oil and just stir fry it like normal rice adding in the ground cumin, green onion, cayenne pepper and the salt and pepper.

Beetroot juice

Drinking 'all natural and pure' beetroot juice allows natural nitrates to dilate your blood cells, allowing more oxygen in, for better output and performance.

Another option is to eat plenty of fresh beetroot, raw and grated or roasted or steamed - Yum!

A nutritional Frosting

Next time you want to put frosting onto muffins or a slice - try this!

Blend together 1 avocado, 40ml honey or agave nectar, 30ml cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, dash of salt and a dash of cinnamon. Tip : mash the avocado into a bowl first until very smooth and creamy, then add the rest of ingredients and mix well.

Once on your baked goodies - it does freeze well.

Rustic Salsa

This is one of my favourite quick meals/snacks - I love it with eggs for breakfast or add some chicken or tin salmon and its a great lunch or afternoon tea snack.  It takes a little preparation but eating this bowl of goodness is so yum and guilt free! The quantities only depend on how much you want to make - whether its just for yourself or to feed the family

 

• Tomato (cut into bite size pieces and soak in about 1 tablespoon of apple cider and seasoned while cutting up the other ingredients)
• red onion- cubed very small
• corn (the best is sliced straight off a fresh corn cob)
• avocado - cubed
• capsicum - cube
• spinach- sliced
• kale - remove the stem and slice (can buy at Woolies)
• kalamata olives (optional) about 4-5 sliced

Mix all together into a bowl and enjoy!
