Cherry Red Beet Porridge

5 portions vegetables and fruits are the best to provide your body with all he need for a strong healthiness. I start to work with these rates a few years ago and optimized my vegetable consumption a lot and the results are amazing! Smoothies are such a great way to integrate more veggies! I feel really better since I changed my diet and I meet a lot of people who have a lot afflictions like flatulence or stomachache. I am really sure they could avoid many of these afflictions by changing their diet.

When I was a child I ate so many sweets and fast food, drank a lot of cola and my dietary habits were so confused. That was the reason why I was ill every week and looked like a ghost. My skin wasn’t healthy and my hair really dry. I don’t slept well and I can’t concentrate myself very good. Everybody needs to make his own experiences to realize what’s good for him and what not. The most important thing is to hear to the own body, he tell us what he need.

I like to talk more about my lifestyle and how I changed my lifestyle in the last years. I will let you know what I’m doing to feel better.

But first I like to share this creamy red beet recipe with you and inform you about the health benefit. I don’t like a water consistency in my smoothies so I add soaked nuts, oats or yoghurt to make it more creamy. My smoothies are often my breakfast, it need to keeps me full until lunch time.

I really use a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables but sometimes I haven’t something at home or the things I need haven’t season. That’s the time I use pulverized versions like red beet powder. In that way I don’t need to miss the health benefits of the amazing vegetables and fruits. Most of the time vegetables.

Red beet is one of the healthiest food in the world! Beets are a unique source of phytonutrients called betanin. Betanin is antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and detoxifying.
Full packed with vitamins like vitamin B1, B2 and B6 as well as vitamin C red beet is a perfect source for pure healthiness.

Carrot Banana Smoothie

WOW! Another super healthy nutritious superfood to add in my smoothies: Boost Yourself Workout Superfood Blend. All our ingredients are in their purest forms, the way they should be. Nothing artificial, no added sugar, no additives, no harmful preservatives, no fillers and no bullshit. Specifically formulated for quick post-workout recovery!

I really love that healthy combination from hemp protein, brown rice protein, raw cacao, maca root, wild cranberries and baobab fruit. The flavor is really delicious, the taste is only a pinch of choclate and maca. Hemp protein contains all essential amio acids and hemp protein is similar to your Body Protein. Because of this your body can easy absorb the hemp protein.

Workout blend is a energizing superfood blend designed to support your body after physical activity. It helps your body with recovery, boosts energy, fight fatigue and promotes lean muscle gain. It’s formulated to make your workout more efficient. When you consume carbohydrates and protein in liquid form, your body easily processes the nutrients, meaning your cells receive the nutrition expediently.

I combine this blend with carrots to reach one portion of the 3 recommended vegetables a day and soaked cashew nuts for extra creaminess. I love adding different ingredients in a smoothie to get different healthy nutrients. You can easily chop the carrot when your blender isn’t strong enough.
I often used frozen banana because I freeze them when they are ripe. You can easily peel them and freeze in small pieces and use them whenever you want.

By the way. You can learn more about this lovely Company in my blog post: Boost Yourself

I like to make more easy food because I spend often so much time in the kitchen and sometimes I really need easy recipes.

The base of this muffins is raw chocolate powder. Raw unprocessed dark chocolate is full packed with health benefits.
The raw cacao powder is made from cacao beans. Please please please use organic cacaos because a lot of humans are in slavery because of the cacao production.
I watched a German movie about cacao slavery. I will never buy NON organic cacao or chocolate any longer!
The cacao bean is full of antioxidants and good fats. Also you find good protein in it and minerals like calcium and magnesium.

I used spelt flour for these vegan chocolate muffins but you can easily use buckwheat flour if you like.

Natural Sweetened Carrot Almond Loaf

Natural Sweetened Carrot Almond Loaf

As you already read I prepare my own sweet healthy treats during the weekend to have a healthy snack „on hand“ during the busy week. Last weekend I baked a carrot almond loaf with a sweet taste and enjoyed it during the week as a midday snack to give my body back energy for the rest of the day. I normally eat 4 times a day because I really love sweets. In the past I ate a lot of unhealthy stuff which contains lots of raffinated sugar. Since I don’t eat factory-made sweets any longer I feel really better. In the past I had the feeling I was hooked by sweets because I can’t stop eating them. Healthy eating is not eating no sweets. Its eating more whole grain food, more unprocessed food and the right treats.

This carrot loaf is made with healthy carrots and almonds. Almonds are a source of many nutrients a fantastic source of many vitamins and Minerals. Along with almonds contribution to alkaline levels, it also has a high content of Vitamin E, which is a powerful antioxidant. Many people think that the word “fat” is negative, but in fact, certain fatty acids are essential, and can be very beneficial for overall health. Almonds are a very good brain food! They contains riboflavin and L-carnitine, nutrients that boost brain activity.
A lot of reasons to integrate almonds more often in your diet. Right?

I used buckwheat instead of grain flour in this loaf because buckwheat is really one of the healthiest food you can eat.
It is one of the best source of high-quality, easily digestible proteins.

Furthermore I used no raffinated sugar in this loaf. It is sweetened with rice syrup, a natural sweetener. Rice syrup is made with whole grain rice and contains all vitamins and minerals like zinc, magnesium and manganese. I have a lot of natural sweetener at home and I rice syrup is my new favorite. YEAH!

Carrots and a little bit yoghurt make this loaf moist and you can keep it in the fridge up to 5 days.
I use chia seeds instead of an egg. It is up to you if you like to make it vegan or vegetarian.

How to make Nutritious Chocolate Mousse

Nutritious healthy chocolate mousse??? Yes. That’s possible! With this recipe!

Easily use raw chocolate powder and any healthy sweetener and you got it! This chocolate mousse is unbelievable creamy and taste like heaven if you are a chocolate fan or not. I am not the biggest but I also really love that mousse. You need only to use chia seeds to make this mousse creamy and raw chocolate without any additional sugar to make it healthy. Some People often buy ready chocolate yoghurt or Pudding because they have no idea how to make a healthy Version. You can prepare a few portions in advance and keep them in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Discovering new ingredients for my meals are really exciting for me so I’m really happy to found coconut sugar as an option for
other unhealthy sweetener like raffinated sugar of agave syrup. As I read agave syrup is also not the best option. Damn!
I learn and learn and learn. But that’s ok. Otherwise life would be very boring, right?!

So back to this delicious parfait. You Need to Keep it in the fridge before serving to make sure it get solid. The chia seeds are often use as a natural binder. These seeds are not only healthy, they are very helpful for vegans to use it instead of eggs.

I took over this recipe from one of my Instagram friends. They are so many amazing girls out there who really love healthy food. It’s so amazing to share that love with them (girls, you know who I mean ;o)). Myf from deliciouslylegal is a young enthusiastic woman who loves to cook healthy, grain and dairy free recipes.

Protect Skin Raspberry Smoothie

Doesn’t sound that perfect? Protect Skin Raspberry Smoothie? A perfect smoothie after your workout which contains tons of healthy Skin benefits.

We want it all! Perfect shine and soft skin, right? But how can we get it? Beside the right care we can help our skin to be healthy with the right diet and food. I called this smoothie Protect Skin Raspberry Smoothie because of the coconut milk and superfood blend I use. Coconut milk has skin-nourishing properties because of its Vitamin-E. This Vitamin is very important and helpful for healthy skin growth and repair. Above all, it prevents premature aging of the skin, since it has good antioxidant properties.

Make sure you use organic coconut milk for your smoothie without any additional additives. You often find hidden additives which are non-healthy for you.

To eat hemp seeds– which you can find in the “Balance Superfood Blend” from boostyourself you find in this smoothie (if you like to add it) is also e great opportunity to get better skin. Hemp seeds contains high quality oils like omega-6 fatty acids which increases the elasticity of your skin and brings new life to dry and tired skin. I love to use superfoods with lots of health benefits. Sometimes I use the separate superfoods but sometimes I love to have a mix on hand so I don’t need to mix them up by myself. You know the situation that you need to hurry up and need to mix up a smoothie fast without thinking too much what to add exactly to make it more healthy. That’s the reason why superfood blends exists – to make your life more easy LOL.

I use dates in all my smoothies as a natural sweetener. Normally 2 are enough to get a sweet taste but you can you use more when you like it more sweet. When you read the recipe you may first thing “salt?” Why is the adding salt into a smoothie? Salt is a great way to anhance the flavor of all the other ingredients. Adding salt to foods helps certain molecules in those foods more easily release. I tried it out with and without salt. And it really works!

Recipe
Protect Skin Raspberry Smoothie

Serve 1

200ml coconut milk
50ml orange juice
100g raspberries (frozen)
2 dates
1/2 tsp vanilla powder
a pinch of salt (to enhance the flavor)

Optional:
1 tbsp Balance Superfood Blend (from boostyourself)

Green Antioxidant Smoothie-Bowl

Always when I see green Bowls I decided to eat more greens. This delicious Green Antioxidant Smoothie-Bowl is a new start for me to eat more green during the week. My hubby always say he don’t like to eat this “Hulk” bowl because of the color? Hey Man! What’s wrong with that color? Green stays for live, for freshness, for healthiness. I love to look at my bowl and I really get mouthwatering. Because I always mix up sweet fruits and healthy greens my green bowls become a sweet flavor and they are really delicious. You can easily hide greens in every smoothie you drink and you will not taste it when you don’t add too much. But you will get the healthy benefit.

In the spring and summer time it is so easy to get into the garden or wherever you want outside and pick up some dandelion. Enible wild herbs can be used very easily in your smoothie. Enible wild herbs have very special health benefits you don’t find in any other green. Dandelion is great to get B complex vitamins, trace minerals, organic sodium, and even some vitamin D too. We often have Vitamin-D shortage because we are not outside enough to get Vitamin-D from the sun and there are less food ingredients contains Vitamin-D. Dandelion also contains protein, more than spinach. It has been eaten for thousands of years as a food and was used for skin problems, blood disorders and depression. You can use dandelion optional in this bowl if you like to try it out but also eat the bowl without.

Furthermore I add some spinach leaves, because Spinach is one of my favorite greens to add into a smoothie bowl because the taste is not that strong it almost every mixer can mix it. You can use frozen or fresh spinach. Spinach is an excellent source of vitamins like Vitamin-K or Vitamin-A. Vitamin K is very important for maintaining bone health and it is difficult to find vegetables which are richer in vitamin K than spinach.

As you know I love to add superfoods in my smoothie bowls. So I pimp up my smoothie with more green healthiness I use “Detox Blend” from boostyourself. Detox is a powerful superfood blend designed to give your body the perfect combination of nature’s most nourishing, cleansing and potent superfoods. Great for healthy weight loss and rich in essential nutrients and vitamins. This is a super-easy way to supercharge your health.

High concentrations of living chlorophyll, vitamin C and plant-based protein helping to boost your natural metabolism and to aid weight loss, while cleansing your body of toxins and providing a vast array of vital vitamins, minerals & important antioxidants.

I use dates in all my smoothies as a natural sweetener. Normally 2 are enough to get a sweet taste but you can you use more when you like it more sweet. The banana also gives a natural sweetness. Ripe banana are the really best to add in a smoothie.

I try to eat different fruits during the week. Sure I have also my favorite fruits but it is exiting to discover new ones from time to cheap nba jerseys time.
