Healthy whipped cream!

Coconut whipped cream is probably known by vegans and paleo lovers, but for a lot of people this recipe is new. This week my boyfriend putted a can coconut milk in the fridge instead of the pantry, and when I diced to make a smoothie with coconut milk I found out that the cream and the milk were separate from each other. I knew the recipe for making whipped cream of that coconut cream so before I made my smoothie ( Later with the liquid under the cream ) I made a healthy type of whipped cream 🙂

Traditional whipped cream is loaded with heavy cream and refined sugar, this coconut whipped cream is the perfect healthy alternative! There are so many reasons to choose for this healthy type of whipped cream compared to regular whipped cream.
– An additional plus is that whipped coconut cream does not break down the way dairy does. This whipped cream can be covered and stored for up to a few days without separation taking place.
– Suitable for Vegans and people with a dairy an allergy.
– A healthy type fat and it contain no additives

Ingredients:
– 1 can full fat coconut milk
– 3 tablespoons agave syrup
( You can also use another type of sweetener or you can leave it unsweetened )

– Put the can coconut milk in the fridge for 1 night, this will cause the cream will separate from the milk.
– Open the can, as you can see the top is full of cream and the coconut water is in the bottom of the can. Don’t throw the liquid away because you can use this for making delicious smoothies!

– Put the cream and the agave syrup together in a bowl and mix this with a small hand mixer until it gets fluffy.
That’s how easy it is! Ready in a few minutes!

Home made granola

I like to eat yoghurt/quark with fruit but sometimes I just want to add something more to my meal. Most of the time this is muesli, oats, granola or seeds and nuts. But most of the store bought stuff is high in sugar, contains unhealthy fats and oils, and is packed full of fillers and unnecessary ingredients. Unfortunately not so healthy, While many people think they made a healthy choice to choose for muesli or granola expect from bread. Now you can choose for an organic type or made it by yourself, and that is surprisingly easy & healthy! I don’t get it why I didn’t do this before! Because now I can’t stop eating my self made granola 😀

New recipe bananabread! Healthy and Yummie :)

I tried a new bananabread recipe, i was already thinking about that recipe for a while. Sometime’s i bake pies and cakes on the basis of beans, so i thought why not with bananabread. I used 100 gram speltflour and 150 gram chickpeas, less butter and i added some quark to compensate that. And it turned out so good! I do not even taste the difference compared with my other bananabread recipe, and so did my boyfriend! So a successful recipe if you ask me 😉 And i assure you, you don’t taste the chickpeas!

What do you need? ( 12 big pieces )
– 100 gram speltflour
– 150 gram canned chickpeas
– 2 eggs
– 3 ripe banana’s
– 40 gram soya butter
– 25 gram stevia
– 1 tablespoon quark ( you can also use greek yoghurt )
– a pinch of cinnamon
– a pinch of baking powder
– a pinch of salt

What to do?
– Preheat the oven on 170 degrees.
– Rinse the chickpeas and cook them for a few minutes until they are a little bit soft.
– Grease the oven baking pan with a little bit of soya butter.
– Put the chickpeas in the blender with the quark and one egg and blend it untill it becomes a smooth batter.
– Put the speltflour together with the cinnamon, salt, baking powder and stevia and add also the smooth chickpeas batter.
– Put in a other bowl the eggs, banana’s and butter together and mix it with a fork.
It don’t have to be a smooth batter, it’s ok if the or some small pieces banana.
– Now mix the two batters together and mix it again with a fork.
– Put the batter in the oven pan and put it in the oven for 60 minutes.

– Let the bananabread cool down for 10 minutes.

This is the half of the bananabread.

If 12 pieces are to much for you, use halve of the recipe or you can also cut the bananabread in pieces and put them in de freezer. Then you can defrost a piece when you feel like to eat a piece of bananabread. Nice for breakfast with some soya butter or cocosoil 🙂

You can use different casserole dishes, to change the shape of the bananabread. And add product you like. To this bananabread i added nuts and dried fruit to the batter.
