My Favorite Bread

Bootcamp Goddess — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 18:07:16 +0000

If you are going to eat bread, eat one that is low in sugar and additives. My fav is a Spelt bread from the ShaSha Bread.co.
It has only 2 gram of sugar, and 6 grams of protein. It’s a whole grain, is yeast, lactose and dairy free. No added fat, no trans fat or cholesterol. It’s also a good source of iron and fire. I love mine toasted with organic almond butter! Yummy

Grilled Veggie Sandwich

Bootcamp Goddess — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 04:43:04 +0000

Ingredients

1 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 cloves garlic, minced
1-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup sliced red bell peppers
1 small zucchini, sliced
1 red onion, sliced
1 small yellow squash, sliced
1 (4-x6-inch) focaccia bread pieces, split horizontally
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese low fat

Directions

In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Set aside in the refrigerator.
Preheat the grill for high heat.
Brush vegetables with olive oil on each side. Brush grate with oil. Place bell peppers and zucchini closest to the middle of the grill, and set onion and squash pieces around them. Cook for about 3 minutes, turn, and cook for another 3 minutes. The peppers may take a bit longer. Remove from grill, and set aside.
Spread some of the mayonnaise mixture on the cut sides of the bread, and sprinkle each one with feta cheese. Place on the grill cheese side up, and cover with lid for 2 to 3 minutes. This will warm the bread, and slightly melt the cheese. Watch carefully so the bottoms don’t burn. Remove from grill, and layer with the vegetables. Enjoy as open faced grilled sandwiches.

Healthy Chocolate Pudding

Bootcamp Goddess — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 16:34:09 +0000

Happy Canada Day!! Here’s a special treat to celebrate this great country!

Healthy Fat-Burning Chocolate Pudding:

(This recipe will make about 2-3 servings and is a great healthy dessert or late night snack)

1/2 of a ripe avocado (soft to touch)
approx 3 tablespoons of almond butter (preferably raw if possible)
approx 1/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk
2 heaping tablespoons of organic cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
1 or 2 packets of stevia (or to your desired sweetness level)
1/2 to 3/4 of a scoop of chocolate protein powder
just a small pinch of salt

Put the avocado and almond butter into a bowl and mash together with a fork until smooth. Then add all of the other ingredients into the bowl and mix together vigorously until all is mixed and smooth.

If everything went right, the consistency will be similar to pudding… except normal pudding makes you FAT with loads of sugar!

If the pudding ends up too thick, simply add a bit more almond milk or coconut milk for more moisture.

If you want to get a little wild and add some more nutrient-rich additions, feel free to add some chopped pecans, chia seeds, rice bran, or walnuts at the end.
