Healthy Snack nº1

FRUITS AND SEEDS CHUNKS/PAPILLA DE FRUTAS Y SEMILLAS

 

 

This great snack came from the rest of juicing my breakfast ORANGE SPICY JUICE, I was cleaning the juicer and thought what a pity it was that all that nice stuff was going into the vean, so that I added some pumpkin seeds and a kaki (they're just going out of season now, so that I'll have to do without from now on) Mixed it all in, stored it in the fridge and enjoyed it at 5pm for mid afternoon snack on my terrace while warming with the last rays of sun

 

Esta maravilla salio de los restos de mi desayuno ZUMO NARANJA PICANTE.

Estaba yo limpiando la batidora cuando me dije: que pena! toda esta fibra a la basura, asi que lo recogi, le añadi unas semillas de calabaza, un kaki (los últimos de la temporada), lo mezcle todo, lo guarde en la nevera y disfrute de una buenissima merienda a las 5 en mi terraza mientra me calentaba con los últimos rayos de sol del dia!

Healthy Snack nº2

These are some wonderful cookies I made yesterday afternoon with my son Marco.
They're the vegan version of 'digestive oaties' and the recepy is quite simple

1 and 1/2 cup oats
2 big or 3 med bananas
1/2 cup pitted dates
1 golden apple
Cinnamon to taste
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

In a bowl Combine and whisk dry ingredients, easy right?
then put the rest in food processor until well mixed but with some chunks left, mix in dry ingredients until well blended and then make cookies into lines baking trays. I got around 20 fat cookies, that's basically up to personal tastes. Bake 10-15 mins on 150 Celsius until cookies turn golden brown.

Enjoy them warm or cool, again it's up to. You own personal taste!!!

Estas son unas maravillosas galletas que hice con mi hijo Marco la otra tarde. Son la version vegana de las 'galletas digestive de avena' y la receta es muy simple

1 y 1/2 taza de avena
2 bananas grandes o 3 medianas bien maduras
1/2 taza de datiles deshuesados
1 manzana golden bien amarilla
Canela al gusto
1/2 cucharadita de bicarbonato

En un bol mezclar los ingredientes secos, facil, verdad?

 Poner los restantes en el procesador de alimentos hasta que queden bien mezclados pero con trocitos, añadirlos al bol delos ingredientes secos y mezclarlo hasta que quede una masa bien homogenea, hacer las galletas y ponerlas en unas bandejas preparadas con papel de horno. A mi me han salido una 20 galletas bien gorditas, pero eso tambien depende de los gustos personales.

Meterlas al horno unos 10/15 minutos a 150 grados, hasta que queden doraditas.
Disfrutarlas calientitas o fria, una vez mas segun gustos!!!

VEGAN CHILLI

Not very nice to say, both for myself and the recipe maker, that I was surprised at how good this dish turned out to be.

I got the original recipe from Reboot With Joe HERE and changed it a bit.

It's an amazing hearth warming dish ideal for no so warm temperatures, packed with iron and minerals

Ingredients:

1 cup boiled red kidney beans

1 small zucchini

1 red pepper

1/2 onion

3 cups tomato sauce

4 mushrooms

1 cup water

2 Tbsp olive oil

pinch of salt

1 tsp hot chilli powder

1 Tbsp cumin

1 mashed garlic clove

1 handful of fresh baby spinach

Chilli being cooked

 Method:
Chop up all the veggies except for the spinch, put them in a big frying pan (I used a wok which is great for all sort of cooking) with the olive oil and sautee them for about 2 minutes.
Add in the tomato sauce and when it boils add in the water, chilli and cumin
Keep turning and let boil for about 10 minutes

Et voile, you vegan chilli is ready!

Divide into 4 bowls and top up with the fresh spinach and enjoy!

Chilli served with a bunch of fresh spinach

1 cucharadita sal

1 cucharadita chilli picante

1 cucharada comino

1 diente de ajo

2 puñado espinacas frescas

Trocear todas las verduras menos las espinacas y saltearlas en una sarten honda (yo use el wok que esta muy bien para cocinar cualquier cosa) durante unos 2 minutos, añadir la salsa de tomate y en cuanto coja el hervor añadir el agua.

Dejar cocinar durante unos 10 minutos a fuego alto removiendo continuamente, y listo, el chilli puede ser servido en 4 cuencos decorados con las espinacas
