Delicious creamy cashew dipping sauce

Posted in Recipes by

Hello everybody!

IMG_0994Today’s perfect snack is here. I tried this recipe for the first time, and I have to admit it came out perfectly and so delicious, that I will make it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and maybe in the weekend too :))

It’s similar to a cheese dip, its super creamy, filling and tastes like heaven. You can serve it with whatever you like, fresh veggies, as dressing on your salad, dip for oven baked sweet potatoes, or use it in cauliflower mash or potatoes mash.

Here’s what you need:

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 cup raw cashews
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ cup water
  • chopped basil
  • freshly-ground black pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Add cashews to a small bowl and soak in water for at least 2 hours. (This will allow the cashews to soften and make them easier to process.)
  2. Drain cashews of the water and add to a blender or food processor, along with garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and ¼ cup of water. Blend or process, until smooth, adding additional water as needed, until the mixture is the consistency of dressing.
  3. Add the basil along with pepper to taste, and refrigerate until using.

It’s that simple!

Enjoy! 🙂

Chia Seed Pudding Recipe

Posted in Recipes by

Good morning my dears!

Here is a breakfast idea for you, that gives you energy, it’s loaded with nutrients and it’s super delicious.

wpid-dark_chia_sq__38560.1405434241.1280.1280.jpgThis pudding is made of chia seeds, I think you all heard about this super-food, if not, I tell you a few things about them:

1. The word “Chia” comes from the Mayan language and means strength. Chia seeds are a balanced blend of protein, carbohydrates, fats and fiber. It is said that 1 tablespoon of Chia can sustain a person for 24 hours. Athletes have reported that Chia seeds help them perform at optimal levels for much longer periods of time.

2. Chia seeds are high in quality protein, much higher than most plant foods.

3. Chia seeds are very high in Omega-3 fatty acids, they contain more Omega-3s than salmon, gram for gram.

4. They are high in antioxidants.

5. Almost all of the carbohydrates in chia seeds are fiber, this should increase fullness, slow absorption of your food and help you automatically eat fewer calories.

6. Chia seeds can play an important role in regulating insulin levels. They can reduce insulin resistance and decrease abnormally high levels of insulin in the blood.

7. Chia seeds contain no gluten or grains. Therefore, all of the nutritional benefits of chia seeds can be obtained on a gluten-free diet.

8. They can be used as an egg re-placer, combining 1 tablespoon ground chia seeds with 3 tablespoons water for each egg you’re replacing.

And now here it is the delicious recipe

wpid-img_20141202_101959.jpgIngredients
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (coconut milk or rice milk)
1 cup plain  Greek yoghurt
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup or raw honey
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup chia seeds
handful of raspberries or strawberries

Directions
In a medium bowl, gently whisk the almond milk, yoghurt, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, the vanilla until just blended. Whisk in the chia seeds. Cover and put them in the fridge for 30 minutes.
