Did you know a broccoli is a giant bundle of unopened flowers. Yes, how amazing is that? And a cup of broccoli contains more vitamin C than an orange. So eat up these beautiful flowers!

Almond Matcha Delights

~ Yields 8 balls
~ Prep Time: 15 minutes
~ Total Time: 45 minutes


Matcha is one of my favourite superfoods! It is literally stone ground green tea powder, packed with anti-oxidants, fiber, chlorophyll and vitamins.

Matcha helps fight inflammation and free-radicals in the body. It can help lower cholesterol, provide an energy boost and prevent disease. In fact, one cup of matcha is equivalent to 10 cups of green tea! Add it to almond paste, and you got a super healthy, energizer snack!
When your sugar cravings hit you, these matcha delights are a healthy go to snack. They are full of healthy fats, proteins and nutrients, and very low in sugar. They won't raise your blood sugar and crash your energy, and you won't feel guilty eating them. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup ground almonds
  • 2 tbsp raw honey
  • 1 tbsp melted cocoa butter (or coconut oil)
  • 1 tsp matcha powder
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup unsweetened coconut flakes for dusting

Instructions:
  1. In a food processor ground the almonds. (You can also simply get almond flour from the bulk store, but it won’t be as fresh and flavourful as the one you make at home.)
  2. Add in all your ingredients and mix until you get a sticky paste.
  3. Form round balls with your hands and roll them in coconut flakes.
  4. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes until they form a chewy consistency. Enjoy!

Cream of Mushroom

4/22/2020

1 Comment

 
I was craving mushroom soup the other day, so I started googling for a recipe. To my surprise, I could not find a recipe that I liked. They either contained wheat and dairy, or cornstarch (one of those highly processed ingredients) that I don't recommend using.

So ... I decided to experiment with my own ingredients and here is how it turned out.

DELICIOUS! CREAMY! FLAVORFUL!

Now THIS is a delicious bowl of cream of mushrooms!

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. :)

Ingredients:
  • 9 mushrooms
  • 1/2 onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 2 cups of broth (chicken or vegetarian)
  • 1 cup of coconut cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Directions:
  1. Chop up the onions and mushrooms, stir fry in a pan with a little oil or butter.
  2. Squeeze in the garlic, add salt and pepper.
  3. Pour in the broth and coconut cream, bring everything to a boil.
  4. Let it cool a little, then blend with a hand blender until creamy.
  5. Add fresh cilantro and serve.

TIP: You can use any types of mushrooms. To intensify the flavour, you can also grill the mushrooms first.

"The healthiest cookies on the planet!" It's almost like eating a salad. :)

I have always enjoyed a decadent moist slice of carrot cake. But when you get lazy and are in need of a quick 'carrot cake fix-me up', you can make these simple carrot cake cookies!

These cookies are moist, yummy goodness, so healthy that you can even eat them for breakfast. They are gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, suitable for vegans. They are full of nutrients, and yumminess.
