Happy Saturday, Everyone!
I have a recipe for you that hits all the major checkmarks of an awesome dish. Ready for it? This one takes less then five minutes to make, its gluten-free, sugar-free, lactose-free, raw, AND mouthwateringly yummy. I bet I have your attention now. Oh, the cherry on top: only five items needed to make it.
Calling all chocolate lovers, I have a succulent recipe for your eating pleasure. Behold, chocolate cream pie. This one (recipe #45) however, unlike the majority of others in its family, is gluten-free AND refined sugar-free! The texture of it is lovely. Silky smooth. The flavor is rich and chocolatey, but the pie itself is light. Be careful, it would be easy to eat several slices of this one in one sitting.
Woo hoo!!! To break into the big number 4-0 recipe, I decided on this super simple, lightly sweet, lovely chia pudding. First things first, Chia seeds are AWESOME for you. They are loaded with antioxidants, fiber, protein, they can improve exercise performance as much as a sports drink can (but without all the added sugar and empty calories), the list goes on.
And yet, this dish tastes similar to Tapioca pudding, YUM!!! A dessert type dish that’s truly healthy? You bet. I recommend topping it with any type of berries, as I have in the photo of my own breakfast. This recipe is lactose-free, gluten-free AND refined sugar-free.
Happy New Year, all!!!
For recipe #35, I thought I would venture back into sweet territory. You guys know I cant stay away for too long 😉
This particular recipe dances on the line between dessert and mildly healthy snack. It is refined sugar-free, save for the small handful of mini chocolate chips thrown in at the end. Therefore, if you want 100% sugar free, omit the chocolate chips (or, if you can find sugar free ones, use those). They are gluten-free and basically lactose-free (again, save for the small amount of chocolate chips).
These are super easy to make, less then 10 minutes, and shockingly they are a favorite among those who have sampled them. They taste almost like eating raw peanut butter cookie dough. Mmmmmm. Really delicious. Be careful, these guys are rather addictive. Dont say I didn’t warn you…
Alright, people. Recipe #12 is a major gift. This is, hands down, my personal favorite recipe to make and eat on a regular basis. It is DELICIOUS. One would never guess that this cake is chalk full of good-for-you ingredients. It tastes like a fudgy, decadent, dense, rich chocolate cake. However unlike a typical chocolate cake which is loaded with sugar, calories, bad-for-you fat and all sorts of things that are terrible for your body, this one is gluten-free, refined sugar-free and lactose free!! It hits all three health points.
For about a month, I was whipping up this bad boy every weekend. Its that good. On second thought, you might not want to try out this recipe. It will change the way you eat chocolate cake forever. The recipe may sound and look slightly complicated to initial onlookers. Dont worry, its not. After making it twice, I have the process memorized. Its super easy to throw together. And then you have the awesomeness of a healthy chocolate cake in your house for enjoying alongside of your tea and coffee for the next week. You’re welcome 😉
