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.

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!

Juice up

Hello lovelies,

some of you that follow me on Instagram may have noticed that I post many pictures of healthy food, especially smoothies. I usually start my day with smoothie, so I make them quite often. I try to make different ones each time, depending on the fruit or vegetable I have at that particular moment. I also make fresh juices quite regularly, so here is the recipe of one of my favourite combination of fruit and vegetables.

I mixed carrots, apples and beetroot.

I will give you some of the reasons why you should start making beetroot juice!

• Beetroot is really good source of potassium, Vitamin C, fiber and antioxidans
• Beetroot juice prevents signs of aging, as well as reducing pigmentation
• It improves stamina
• It helps prevent cancer
• It reduces inflammation
• It boosts hemoglobin levels
• It helps in detoxification
• It helps body to respond better to exercise

What I like to do, is keep the juice in a glass jar, in a fridge, so I can drink it the next morning. I put a little bit of ginger sometimes, it tastes great! I pre-wash everything and cut it in half so my juicer will do the job easily.

The amount of vegetables and fruit I used in the pictures below make 4 glasses of juice.
