A Change Of Pace – Here’s A Recipe!

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

This is an easy, delicious and satisfying dense cookie recipe. You can add any type of nut or seed you prefer. You will get approximately 4 dozen medium cookies or 3 dozen large cookies. You can freeze the batter or freeze the cookie…if there’s any left over. These make a great treat to take along as fuel for a long walk, hike or bike ride. Kids will love them, too!

DRY INGREDIENTS:

2 cups (500 ml) whole wheat, buckwheat, kumat or spelt flour
1 cup (250ml) rolled oats
1 cup (250ml) nuts and seeds (pumpkin, walnut, sunflower, etc.)
OR 2 cups (500ml) trail mix
1 cup (250ml) raisins or currants
1/2 cup (125ml) dried fruit (mango, apricot, date, etc) – optional
1 cup (250ml) carob chips
1 tsp (5ml) cinnamon
1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract

WET INGREDIENTS:

4 whole eggs
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) crushed pineapple with juice
1 cup (250ml) unpasteurized honey
1/2 cup (125ml) fresh squeezed orange juice (optional)

Suggestion: Try adding 2 or 3 scoops of vanilla or ch0colate protein powder to the dry ingredients.

Add the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl. In a small bowl, add beaten eggs, pineapple with juice and honey. Mix well. Add wet ingredients to dry and blend. Add orange juice if needed for more liquid.

Spoon batter onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool and enjoy!

Sorry – I don’t have the nutritional values but go easy because they will put on pounds. Remember, don’t eat too many at one time as a treat is only meant to be eaten on rare occasions otherwise, it’s not a treat, it’s a staple.

Notes: These are healthy cookies! Use the most nutritious ingredients that you can find. If you can grind your own flour, all the better. Use fresh pineapple, organic eggs and real vanilla extract. Make sure the nuts and seeds are fresh, not rancid. Packaged is much better than bulk purchasing.

Happy baking – Enjoy.

Is Powerthin The Ultimate Weight Loss Supplement

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

Why should you take weight loss supplements? Why not just stick to your regular diet and exercise routine? The answer to this question is that while you WILL lose weight through diet and exercise, it will take some time before you see any tangible results. On the other hand, if you use weight loss supplements along with diet and exercise, you will be able to lose weight much quicker. However, it is not very easy to find a good, reliable weight loss supplement in today’s vast drug market, considering that there are literally hundreds of weight l0ss supplements and diet pills that promise you the moon but deliver nothing! In this article I will tell you how to choose an effective diet pill.

There are some diet pills that work in one way or other; some help you in suppressing your appetitite, others help you to burn fat faster by increasing your metabolic rate, and still others help you by giving you an huge energy boost. However, there is not a single diet pill that can do all of these for you. But wait, is that really the case? We may have a winner!

Recently I came across a weight loss supplement called Powerthin which literally grabbed my attention, and let me tell you that I am not one who can be easily impressed by hype. The first reason why Powerthin grabbed my attention is that unlike other weight loss supplements which are manufactured using a banned product called Ephedra while Powerthin is manufactured using natural Chinese herbs. Hence, this is one weight loss supplement which you can consume with no worries at all because it comes with ZERO side effects.

Another reason why I liked Powerthin was that it was the first ever ‘all-rounder’ weight loss supplement I have ever found! It is the only product I am aware of that not only aids in faster burning of fat by increasing your body’s metabolic rate, but also gives you the amount of energy you need to workout at the gym. Therefore, if at times you feel wearied and don’t want to exercise, just use this supplement to get yourself rolling!

Whenever using a weight loss supplement, you should use one that gives you more value for your money, something that helps you burn fat rather than your hard earned cash! Powerthin is a drug that clearly wins on that front, and that is why I highly recommend it. It is suitable not only for the novices who are just starting their weight loss program, but also those who have suddenly hit the weight loss plateau!

Do You Like Banana Bread?

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

Here’s a recipe with a nice twist I hope you will enjoy. I sure do, especially after working out!

If your bananas turn brown, don’t throw them out — take the opportunity to make a delicious and healthy banana bread that the whole family can enjoy.

Freshly squeezed orange juice and a touch of the rind give a fresh and lively flavor to the banana bread. You can also add different nuts such as almonds or crushed filberts for added appeal. If you like, throw some raisins or currants in too. Experiment with different ingredients and amounts. Recipes are only guidelines but suggest using only whole grains.

By trying different whole grain flours, you will find your preference. It’s always a good idea to change your grains and use the freshest whole flour that you can get your hands on.

Ripe fruit contains many elements that are essential for a balanced diet. Although bananas are 75 percent water, they also contain fat, natural sugars, protein, potassium and vitamins A, B complex and C. Ripe bananas are easily digested and they impart quick energy. Try eating one before working out – you’ll be amazed.

After a workout, a protein shake and a slice or two of banana bread are a perfect combination to refuel your energy levels. Try topping the bread with unpasteurized creamed honey. WOW!

ORANGE BANANA BREAD

Makes one loaf.

  • 2 cups whole wheat/spelt or kamut flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 cup raisins or currants (optional)
  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup unpasteurized honey
  • 1 Tbsp orange rind
  • Juice from 2 large oranges, plus the pulp

Preheat oven to 375 F

Mix all dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Add all wet ingredients in a blender and mix for 15 seconds. Stir the blended ingredients in with the dry ingredients.

Pour mixture into a well-greased bread pan and place on middle rack in oven for approximately 45 minutes. Insert toothpick to check for doneness (it should come out clean). Cover loaf with tinfoil if it starts to over-brown on top. Let cool for 30 minutes and then dig in!
