Healthy Gluten-free Pancakes

/in /by

Happy Pancake Day 2016! It’s my great pleasure to share this super easy and super yummy recipe with you all.

PancakesIngredients:

  • 4 organic ripe bananas
  • 4 organic free range eggs
  • 80gr of brown rice flour
  • 1 tsp organic cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp organic raw coconut oil

Method:

  1. (Invite friends around)
  2. Mash the bananas with a fork and add the eggs, cinnamon and coconut oil. (make sure the coconut oil is liquid so if you need to, warm it up a little bit)
  3. Mix them in a food processor or use a hand mixer.
  4. Add the rice flour and mix again thoroughly, then leave it to rest for for 10 minutes
  5. After the 10 minutes, blend the mixture throughly again and your pancakes are ready to be fried.
  6. Use your pancake pan to fry them, fry both sides for a few minutes. This mixture is so amazing, you won’t need any extra oil – it just won’t stick and will be super easy to flip as well.
  7. Enjoy your pancakes with organic berries, and any other topping you like – and make sure you share it with your friends. 😉

Breakfast for Champions – 10/10

/in , /by

The last Champion breakkie is here! And this is a morning time saver. Because you’ll have to make it in the evening, leave it in the fridge, then only add your toppings in the morning and either enjoy it straight away – or take it with you to work, to the gym, park, wherever you’re going.

I love chia seeds as they are not only high in omega 3 essential fatty acids, but also great sources of protein. So perfect for blood sugar balancing, easy to make and you can dress them with literally anything – they will be great. My sweet tricks are my usual berries, organic ground cinnamon and vanilla powder. At the moment those two are added to all my breakfasts, my coffees and matcha lattes as well 😉

Overnight chia bowl 

Ingredients:

  • 3-4 tbsp of chia seeds
  • 150ml of organic unsweetened almond/hazelnut/coconut milk
  • Sun Warrior vanilla protein powder (optional)
  • handful of almonds/walnuts to dress
  • blueberries to dress
  • cinnamon and vanilla powder to dress

Method:

Add the chia seed and almond milk in your favourite bowl and mix well, until all the little seeds are covered with the milk and it starts to become a little bit jelly like. You can even add a little bit of cinnamon then and cover the bowl and leave in the fridge overnight.

In the morning, add your favourite nuts/seeds/paleo granola/ and berries and enjoy!

It’s that simple. If you forgot to leave it in the fridge but still fancy this for breakfast, stir in the chia seeds well, and leave it while you take a shower. It does get to the right consistency and soaks up all the almond milk in about 15 minutes.

Enjoy – all the 10 recipes!

Happy blending, stirring, cooking! And have a magical weekend!

Let’s start Thursday morning with a healthy kick – another green smoothie for you all. This one is perfect especially if you’re having it after your exercise, in which case I would also recommend you to add a scoop of vegetarian protein powder to it (Pulsin, Sun Warrior, Purple Balance – just to mention a few options).

Keep warm and enjoy the blending 😀ChiaBananaSpinachWalnut

Breakfast for Champions – 6/10

Is it Sunday evening already? Are you planning to start the week with some healthy choices?

Here’s my 6th champion breakfast to help you with just that 😉

Breakfast for champions 6.

Four Grain (Gluten-free) Porridge with Grated Apples 

Ingredients:

  • 1 tsp of raw organic coconut oil4grainPorridgewithApples
  • 40-50g four grain porridge mix (I chose Amisa gluten-free)
  • 100 ml organic unsweetened almond/coconut/hazelnut milk
  • 50ml water
  • 1 apple grated
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • coconut yoghurt to dress
  • bluberries
  • walnuts

Method:

Cook the four grain mix in some coconut oil for the first few minutes, then add the apples and the nut milk. Cook for a few more minutes and then add the grated apples. Add the water if the porridge soaked up all the nut milk. Cook for a few minutes, until both the grains and apple feel cooked.

When done, serve in a bowl and dress with coconut yoghurt, walnuts (or any nuts) and blueberries. You can add extra cinnamon if you need more sweetness. Enjoy x
