This slice of raw carrot cake was my mid-morning snack for today, delish! I put the following ingredients into my food processor: 1 carrot 2 tbsp protein powder 2 tbsp pecan nuts 3 tbsp Greek yoghurt 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp raw honey 1-2 tbsp oat milk (optional, if mixture is too thick).
My kitchen is a haven for healthy snacks – a temporary haven anyway, since they don’t last that long before being devoured. Guests are offered strange sounding creations like date balls, cacao truffles and almond protein cookies, and while most are initially suspicious, only a few have lifelong regrets (my sister and a particularly unfortunate batch of protein bars come to mind!).
Breakfast is the meal of champions they say, so I’m always curious about people who claim that a cup of coffee in the morning is enough. I’m not so sure gold medals are won on caffeine alone… erythropoietin maybe, but not just caffeine (sorry not sorry Lance Armstrong).
Going gluten free means you cut out an entire range of delectable goodies. No longer does your hotel breakfast buffet include several rounds of croissants and danishes, never mind the muffin you used to stuff in your bag for later (come on now, we’ve all done this!). Pancake Day becomes just Pan Day, and birthday confections are relegated to childhood memories.
I’ve been threatening to start blogging my healthy recipes for some time now, and I have finally perfected enough successful concoctions to get it going. It would have been a bit awkward if I’d started a food blog only to run out of recipes that work in the first week!
