I am a chocolate Lover!

Are you?

It is the middle of winter here in Europe and what is often our ‘go to’ comfort drink when it is super cold or even snowing outside is HOT CHOCOLATE!

Therefore, it was essential that I found a way to indulge my senses, please my family, but ensure we were having health supporting treats rather than junk.

Thereby let me share with you my:

 

Healthy Gut Loving Hot Chocolate

 Recipe: Makes 2 cups

 

Ingredients                

  • Almond mylk or your favourite nut mylk- I usually either make my own recipe here, or purchase an organic one

  • 2 x Separated organic egg yolks- I save the whites for later and add in an omelette mix, as they need to be cooked thoroughly. *Note: whites are toxic if uncooked.

  • 4 Tablespoons of organic cacao powder

  • 1 Tablespoon of grass fed collagen- learn why I use this here

  • 1 teaspoon of  natural sweetener eg: maple syrup, honey or 3 drops of stevia – (optional)

  • Add natural sweetener eg. maple syrup, stevia, or honey

Enjoy!

Banana

 

Bananas are not only delicious prebiotic foods but they contain potassium, magnesium and the amino acid L-tryptophan, which supports the healthy production of our neurotransmitters, serotonin and melatonin.

The following recipe in addition to my Banana Pikelets,  are two of the many recipes I use bananas in that are Bees family favourites!  

 

GF BANANA BREAD

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 bread loaf tin- roughly 15-27cm in size
  • 4 ripe bananas
  • 4 organic eggs
  • 2 tsp of cinnamon
  • 1 tsp of nutmeg
  • 1 cup of banana flour
  • 1 cup of chopped walnuts
  • 1 whole walnut- to place on top of the bread 🙂
  • 1/3 cup of melted coconut oil
  • 2 Tbs raw organic honey (can use rice syrup or maple syrup)
  • 1 tsp of organic vanilla powder
  • 1 tsp of baking powder
  • Organic butter to grease / or sheet of baking paper

 

METHOD

  • Preheat your oven to 180 degree celsius.
  • Grease the bread loaf tin- or line with baking paper
  • Blend bananas, eggs, honey, vanilla and coconut oil- I use stick hand blender, until it becomes like a smoothie consistency
  • Then stir through baking powder and cinnamon, continue to blend
  • Add walnuts and then sift through the flour
  • Once stirred thoroughly, pour into baking loaf tin
  • Top it with a walnut
  • Bake in the oven for 30min or until a fork in the middle comes out clean
  • Allow to cool and serve when desired 🙂

We normally serve it with delicious grass fed organic butter- enjoy!!
