TRIPLE LAYERED CAKE

Hello lovelies,

here is the recipe of the cake I made recently.
I had these ingredients at home, so I decided to make it. I totally randomly used the ingredients. I didn't follow any recipe.

The cake is really healthy and super delicious!

CHIA PUDDING

Hello lovelies,

As some of you know, I am obsessed with chia seeds, and I love eating chia seeds pudding. I found out about chia seeds long time ago, when I started to eat really healthy, and I am really glad that they are so popular now. Everyone knows about chia seeds now, and they should, because they're awesome! Have you seen my older posts with recipes with chia seeds? Check them out here, here, here, here and here.

So, let's get into the origin of chia seeds and their health benefits first, and then I will write the recipe of my pudding.

Raspberry-Chocolate Tart

Hello lovelies,

here is the recipe of my raspberry-chocolate tart. The light was not that good today, so I really struggled to make nice pictures. Since I am really really busy these days, I know I will not have time to make some pictures, and the tart will be gone within a couple of days, so I quickly managed to take some shots while the light was still ok.

BROWNIE

Hello lovelies,

here is the recipe of the brownie I made recently. I tried to stick to the healthy version.  Brownie does not have to be problematic temptation anymore! The classic ones are almost always packed with a lot of sugar and fats. But if you are trying to maintain healthy lifestyle, try this version, and believe me, you will love it!
This recipe will totally change the way you make brownies.

HEALTHY PANCAKES

Hello lovelies,

here is the recipe of the pancakes I usually make.
I mostly used dmBio products which you can easily find.
There is no need for nutella,as this dmBio hazelnut spread is ten times better than nutella, and it is healthier.

So this is what I used:

300gr of oats (blended in a blender to make it as a flour)

100ml of dmBio coconut milk

1 tablespoon of coconut oil (I used it in a pan, just a tiny amount before I added each pancake mixture) I used dmBio coconut oil

1 egg

1banana

dmbio Hazelnut spread

a little bit of almonds for decoration

(This mixture makes 10 pancakes)

First, I blended my oats in the blender. Then, I put the flour from the oats in the large mixing bowl, and cracked one egg into the mixture, while I slowly added coconut milk. I separately mashed one banana with the fork and added it to the mixture. Once I added all the ingredients, I beat until I got smooth paste. If you feel that you need to add more milk or more flour to get better texture, do so.

I heated the pan and added just a tiny amount of coconut oil before each pancake.

You can cook each pancake as you wish, I like mine to be as cooked as possible. I do not like pale looking pancakes that are too little cooked.

I then spread the hazelnut dmBio spread, and voila!

Bon apetit!

REINDEER CHOCOLATE BALLS

Hello lovelies,

here is the recipe of my Reindeer chocolate balls that I make every year. I made this recipe up, using the ingredients that I thought would be nice to mix together, but also healthy. All the versions of these reindeer balls I saw on the internet are way more different, with lots of sugar and milk chocolate, butter, etc.


I love cooking, and I think all of you know that already :D It is so relaxing and creative and I enjoy it very much. I would love to have my own youtube channel where I would only be cooking, sharing some healthy recipe ideas with you.

These reindeer chocolate balls make me so happy, and I couldn't wait Christmas to make them. It became sort of a ritual in my kitchen :P

So here are the ingredients you will need:
(bare in mind that I made up the recipe, so it is totally up to you what ingredients you will use, and what you prefer more, but if you use the exact same ingredients, I assure you, you will die when you taste them :D)

BAOBAB & MORINGA SMOOTHIES

Hello lovelies,

as you all may know, I am addicted to smoothies.

I make them regularly, and I really like to experiment with different ingredients all the time. 

I discovered some new brands that I really want to share with you as I am in love with the variations of smoothies I can make now.

It is about the brand Aduna.

BUCKWHEAT BREAD

Hello lovelies,

here's another recipe I decided to share with you.

I am not a massive fan of bread, nor do I eat it regularly. I try to avoid it as much as possible, unless I bake it myself. Then, I'm 100% sure what goes in my belly. I only bake healthy versions of pancakes and bread, and I love the taste of it!

This recipe is easy and quick to make.

I baked it in a mini loaf pan, and I prefer it that way. Because I do not eat bread a lot, I do not want to bake big bread, waste the ingredients, and then throw the half of it away.

This way, the bread is gone within a day or two (if you share it with others it will definitely be gone within a day)

I have found some healthy ingredients and I will not change the recipe until I discover something new and healthy as well. I like it this way, and I hope that you will try this recipe as well :)

You will need:

• Bio baking powder (gluten free, vegan)
• 100-200 ml of water
• 250 grams of buckwheat flour (gluten free, wheat free)
• Handful of cranberries, goji berries and raisins
• Half a teaspoon of sea salt
• A teaspoon of honey
• A teaspoon of coconut oil
• One egg

Mix the dry ingredients in one bowl. Mix the liquid ingredients in the separate bowl and slowly add the liquid mixture into the dry one. Mix all together so you get nice blended mixture. Spray your mini loaf pan with coconut oil and bake it at 250C for 30 minutes.

You can eat it with your favourite jam, or with melted chocolate on top. It tastes amazing. 

I love crepes

Hello lovelies,

if you read my recent blog post about buckwheat crepes recipe, you will definitely love these ones even more.

In fact, the recipes are almost the same, except the toppings, which are not only the fruit and honey.

I find these crepes the best thing in the world when I am craving something sweet, but still want to eat healthy. As a matter of fact I don't even remember eating 'the white flour and milk' ones for ages.

I discovered this stevia line hazelnut spread which is way better than nutella, and guess what, it's healthy!

You can always use dark chocolate as well. I use it quite often, and mix it with coconut cream to get better taste.

The only negative side of making crepes is lack of time. It makes me avoid this recipe, but whenever I have one or two hours to spare, I choose crepes.

The dishwashing and cleaning of the mess afterwards is negative side as well, but hey, if you enjoy cooking and baking, it's worth it! Plus you know what you put in your belly. It's healthy and nutritious.

I'd rather spend a couple of hours preparing the meal at home, than treating my body like a trash can and filling it with fast food.

For this recipe you will need:

• 1 egg
• 500 ml of coconut milk
• 300 g of buckwheat flour
• coconut oil
• hazelnut spread (stevialine)
• some fruit (I used raspberries)

When it comes to toppings, as I have mentioned you can use dark chocolate, and lots of berries. Any fruit you fancy really! If you want to make it extra sweet (but healthy) you can use honey, agave syrup or maple syrup.

But let's be honest, whatever you choose, it's going to taste delicious!

Buckwheat Crepes

Hello lovelies,

some of my favourite French street food are crepes. Since I eat healthy I made my own version of classic and popular crepes. My healthy version is even more tasty than the original one.
I will show you only the sweet option, but as I made a lot of these, I kept them in the fridge and used them for lunch the next day. I made them with spinach and tomatoes, and they were delicious. I didn't have enough time to take pictures of the salty ones, since I spent almost an hour taking pictures of the sweet ones.
I made around 20 crepes, and it took me more than one hour (plus the dish washing and cleaning). It is not the most enjoyable food to make, but if you are someone that is passionate about cooking you will enjoy it anyway.


For this healthy crepes recipe you will need only four ingredients:

• coconut milk
• coconut oil
• one egg 
• buckwheat flour

For the dressing you may use whatever you want. I used a little bit of honey, together with strawberries and bananas. You can use blueberries, raspberries, or any other fruit you prefer. For the salty ones, you can use various vegetables, together with cheese. 

Try this recipe, it's super healthy and super yummy!

Healthy Bounty Bars

Hello lovelies,

I am really sorry for not posting during May, but my schedule is being full and tight during the whole May; I felt the need to write here but I just didn't have enough time. I need more sleep and some rest so apologize for being absent, but it is for a reason.

I showed you on my Instagram coconut and dark chocolate deliciousness, and promised to write the recipe here, so here it is.  Better late than never ;)

I am obsessed with coconut. I love the smell, I love the taste, and I just love everything about coconuts. Since I eat really healthy, I wanted to make something sweet and tasty but super healthy, so I decided to make bounties.

Hooraaaay!

If you love coconut and sweets this recipe is perfect for you! It is healthy and super tasty and you know exactly what goes into the bars, unlike the commercial version of bounties, that are filled with sugar and diary products.
You will be amazed that these homemade bounty bars taste better than the ones you buy at the stores. The only thing is that they take a little bit more time to prepare, in my case about three hours. But I am not lazy when it comes to cooking healthy meals.

Healthy Chocolate Protein Balls

Hello lovelies,
it's time for the recipe for all the sweet tooth junkies out there. It is healthy as well. Not only junk food is delicious. Healthy food can be delicious too.

This recipe has some ingredients which are not 100% healthy, such as chocolate, but you can use 100% dark chocolate if that is the flavor you prefer and want to make the balls 100% healthy. My option is always dark chocolate, but this time, I was making the balls for the guests, so I didn't want to use 100% dark chocolate, as some of them do not like the bitter taste of it.

Ingredients I used:

• 500gr milk chocolate (stevia version)
• Almond milk
• Coconut oil
• Honey
• Hazelnuts
• Almonds
• Walnuts
• Plazma biscuits (and a couple of Elvita wholegrains biscuits)
• Vanilla sugar
• Dolcela decoratives for baking
• Chia seeds
• Pretzels

The mixture for protein balls is super easy. But, you will need around two hours to make 30 chocolate balls if you want to make them super polished and nice looking. As well as extra half an hour for reindeer balls. Decorating takes the most of the time. But if you like baking it will be fun and joyful.

Make the mixture out of coconut oil, honey and almond milk. Pour it into one big bowl. Hazelnuts, biscuits, walnuts, almonds, chia seeds, vanilla sugar are the ingredients that you should mix together with the liquid mixture. You will know when the mixture is perfect once you try to make the balls with your hands. You can put the mixture in the fridge for half an hour, and it will be easier to shape the balls.

For the chocolate dip, melt it over the hot boiling water. Put a little bit of almond milk and coconut oil. Once your balls are ready, dip them into the chocolate. You can decorate them with m&m's. It is up to you. I decorated mine with m&m's because there were some left, as I needed only red ones for the noses of reindeer balls. 

I used little white balls for the eyes, and pretzels for the ears.
