Healthy Nut Bread.

 A delicious Grain & Wheat free bread that is literally simple to make!

Honestly, even I can make it- so it must be easy!

My first attempt was too sweet, and a little bit too moist- so I adjusted the recipe the second time and it came out perfectly. I like it best toasted.

It has a very strong nut taste, so if you don't like nut then it might not be the best bread recipe for you. :)

RECIPE:

• 7 eggs
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 3 tablespoons of Nut Butter (I used 2 peanut & 1 almond)
• 3 tablespoons melted Coconut Oil
• 2 tablespoons of Ground flax, sunflower seeds
• 3 tablespoons of Almond Flour
• 1/2 tablespoon of Coconut Flour
• 1/2 tablespoon Baking Powder (gluten free)
• 1/3 tablespoon of Salt

• Grease loaf tin with Butter/Ghee/Coconut Oil
• Preheat oven to 180^c
• Mix all wet ingredients with a hand blender
• Add all dry ingredients and mix using hand blender
• Pour mix into the loaf tin
• Pop into the oven for 36 minutes
• Remove and leave to stand for 15 minutes
• Remove from tin, Serve & Enjoy :)
• Store in an airtight container. The bread keeps in the fridge for 7-10 days! 

Here's some serving suggestions:

Chicken & Cabbage Soup.

Well my detox is going well, me and my sister have stuck to it and had smoothie juices for breakfast (see previous post for recipe), and we've had soup for lunch. We've even had soup or smoothies for our evening meals too! Check us out!! 

Last night I made a giant batch of Chicken & Vegetable soup in the slow cooker, which serves 5-6 people. 

I had one portion for lunch and have anther for my evening meal. 

Tomorrow I am moving onto solid food again, and getting some energy ready to hit the double gym classes. I really am ON IT!

RECIPE:

Remember to use Organic & responsibly sourced local ingredients where possible.

• 5 Chicken Breasts ~ Diced

• 3 large Carrots ~ Chopped

• 2 Leeks ~ Chopped

• 5 Celery ~ Chopped

• 1/2 large Green Cabbage ~ Peeled

• 2 handfuls Mushroom ~ Thin Sliced

• Fresh Garden Peas ~ 2 cups

• 1/2 Swede ~ Small Diced

• Basil ~ 1 teaspoon

• Oregano ~ 1 teaspoon

• Sea Salt ~ 1/2 teaspoon

• Black Pepper ~ 3 teaspoons

• Cayenne Pepper ~ 1 teaspoon

• Kerry Gold Butter ~ 2 teaspoons

I put all ingredients into the slow cook, which holds 6 litres, and topped with boiling water to the brim. Popped on the lid, cooked it on medium whilst I slept. In the morning the kitchen smelt goooood!, and my soup was ready to take to work.

I hope you like this one as much as I do.

Enjoy!

Detox Juice!

I just realised that I haven't yet told you about my morning detox juice ritual!

Ok, I say ritual (it's only been 2 days) but, it will be a ritual.

I am starting my days with a lovely refreshing & energising Carrot, Apple, Beetroot juice. I have had it with Ginger, and another time Lemon & Orange. It's delicious!

The best thing about it is that I don't actually own a juicer! I make this wonderful stuff from my regular/non expensive blender. And a sieve! 

•Simply add 1 cup of water and I've to your blender,

•Blend in 1 Beetroot,

•Add in 2 chopped Apples,

•Add 3 chopped Carrots,

•Then add your Ginger/Lemon/etc,

•Strain through a sieve,

•Enjoy!!!
