Smoked trout frittata

Hello my Friends, 

Can you believe that I am already sitting here cuddled up in my blanket in front of the heater.  Haha! Barely winter.  I'm such a baby! 

I made the most delicious frittata, and its something I can grab on the go, which is how most things must be nowadays for me. 

Pre-heat oven to 200deg.
In whatever it is you choose to bake it in, just mix a chopped red onion with 200g egg white and fine fresh coriander. 
Place smoked trout ribbons over the egg mixture ( I used 100g)
Break 2 eggs open on top, on opposite sides.  I want 2 servings, so I used 2.  You can adjust to how much you want.  
Bake until the egg is cooked to your preference. 

Bon Ap!

Low carb protein mug cake


Hello all you fit people! 

I want to share my protein mug cake recipe with you.  This is so fast and easy to make. Low in carbs, so you can actually fit it in anywhere during the day.  If you plan to have it post-workout, drizzle honey on top (as I did) 

Ingredients:
1 whole egg
15g coconut flour
200g fat free Yogurt
1 pinch baking soda
2 sachets stevia 
sprinkle of 100% chocolate chips
25g Metaput zerocarb protein 


Mix everything (except the chocolate chips) in a bowl.  Microwave for about 2-3 minutes.  Do not stir the mixture.  I like my centre soft and gooey, so you have the option of choosing how dry you want your mug cake.  When cooked, sprinkle the 100% chocolate chips. add a tablespoon of honey if taken post workout.  For those who do not know, 100% chocolate is great for muscle recovery. 

Have a great day!

Breakfast muffins with blueberries

I just want to share this great recipe with you quick.  I have to get to work. These muffins have a moist texture on the inside and a nutty taste from the ground flax seeds. I did not add any stevia, because I do not want them sweet.  You could add stevia if you are more of a sweet tooth.

20g ground flax seeds
20g raw oats
100g egg whites
70g Banana
30g Blueberries
Half teaspoon of baking powder
Drop of caramel essence

Mix everything well and scoop into muffin pan. Bake at 180degrees for 25-30minutes



When cooked, let it cool for about 10minutes.  The creamy drizzle is optional and was made with a tablespoon of QNT SPORT Delicious protein , a dash of cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of light coconut milk.

Baked apple and coconut milk


Good  morning,

Hope everyone is doing great and ready for the new year?  I sure am!  This is going to be a good one.  I have so many plans and dreams and ambitions and not shy to act on them !

I returned yesterday from a lovely visit at my parents on the farm.  They live in a little house between the mountains.  It is absolutely medicine to the soul to wake up there in the  morning.  There you realize that there is something so much bigger than you in this universe.  Anyway.....


I put a little twist on my normal apple compote.  Cut your apples into quarters, sprinkle with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves.  Bake in the oven until soft.  Bathe in coconut milk when cooked.

Normally I would eat my compote with almonds, so I only swapped the nuts for the milk.  This is like dessert.  I highly recommend!

Also this is a paleo as you can get.  I am getting good at complying to Paleo now. (Said after doing one decent meal ....lol)

Stuffed giant mushrooms


Morning,

I hope you had a great weekend? I sure did. Busy busy busy!

I want to share a very delicious recipe with you.  I made these stuffed giant mushrooms last night. What a treat!

Pre-heat the oven to 200deg.

You need 230g lean ground beef
1 Small onion
1 Tablespoon Woolworths Slimmers choice Chutney
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
Spices to taste :  I used fresh rosemary, salt and pepper
2 Giant mushrooms

Chop your lill' onion.  Mix with ground beef and spices.  Devide equally and top the mushrooms.

Pop in the oven for about 30-40minutes.  It really depends on how cooked  you eat your beef.  I like it almost charcoal. lol... I want to be able to draw pictures with my meat, then it means its cooked enough :)



I served my stuffed mushrooms with a side salad of mixed greens and 90g of avocado.

This works well as a lunch or as a dinner.  There is no carbs in this meal.  My mealplan clients can use this in for their beef meals.

Homemade applesauce with Pink Lady apples



See now... Making this is really as easy as taking candy from a child. (don't do that though... bad habit! :)  
To get one cup applesauce I peeled 6 Pink Lady apples.  Cut into blocks.  Cook until soft and mash.  Voila! You have applesauce!  I use this as a replacement when baking, instead of butter and sugar.
