This Protein Bar recipe was another accident as I am still on my quest to make a brownie type of treat without a truckload of dates in it. Everything still turns out yum, if not an interestingly different texture to what I envisaged. However once again it’s good enough to add to the recipe list and something I would make again.
So following on from last week’s Oat Snap Cookies recipe, I promised another version for those who don’t do grains at all and so here it is – Gluten Free Coconut Snaps.
Ok so it’s true, I don’t eat grains. So you may be thinking, what the hell is she doing with Oatmeal Cookies then?
Before you say hypocrite with a capital H, let me explain.
One of my favourite things about simple recipes is that you can sometimes just add one more ingredient to the mix and it completely changes it to a new taste sensation. And this is what happened here for these Peanut Butter Chocolate Cheesecake Bites.
I had Philly cheese in the house for some reason and was making my PB Protein Balls and my usual weekly batch of Homemade Chocolate and decided to mix it in and the result was a decadent ‘to-die-for’ dessert that’s super healthy!
Peppermint and chocolate is a fantastic combination. These Homemade Peppermint Patties are the only dish with peppermint that doesn’t taste like toothpaste to me.
I put together this recipe last year but have made a slight change, as I didn’t like the way the coconutty part was a bit crumbly. Macadamia nuts to the rescue as their oil content helps the ‘stick it’ factor and mild taste takes on the flavour of whatever you put with it.
Christmas is coming! And the best news is, all your favourite dishes can be made in a healthy way without sacrificing the sensational flavours. Here’s the decadent Healthy White Christmas Slice.
I have tasted the traditional White Christmas slice in the past and while it looked fantastic, one piece and I had an immediate headache and felt instantly tired. Not to mention wanting to eat the whole batch despite the pain!
So I whipped up a Slim Birdy original and oh my, tastes like the most amazing white chocolate without the hangover! Add this one to your Christmas cooking list.
Hot weather calls for an amazing dairy free ice cream and this Coconut Ice Cream is amazing.
I don’t know about the southern states but here in Queensland summer has hit with a vengeance. We’re having 30°C (86°F) days most days even though it’s only mid Spring. So hot weather calls for nothing better than a nice ice-cream and it’s even more perfect when the dessert in question doesn’t derail your health and weight loss ambitions. I like it!
More people have asked me about savoury snack ideas as I do make a lot of sweet stuff – my personal preference. I seem to enjoy the sweeter stuff more in terms of feeling satisfied more quickly. I guess it’s because my version of sweet is real food, which is maybe why it hits the spot for me. Who knows?
All I do know is what my body likes and I can tell when I may have had too much sweet, it clearly gives the signal – time for some savoury/salty stuff now. So that’s why I love this Cheese Chips recipe!
OMG! I’m in love with these things – Peanut Butter Protein Balls
Something so simple to make yet hits the sweet, savoury, satisfying rich taste that only peanuts can do, all at once.
And if it doesn’t have enough going for it already, I have found this base recipe to be so versatile. It can morph into other things such as a base for a slice, add dried fruit and nuts and they become bliss balls, cover in healthy chocolate and it turns into heaven. I’m sure there are many more adaptations to discover, so let’s get mixing.
