Five Grain Spelt Bread with Grapeseed Flour and Malt Extract

Saturday, May 04, 2013

This nutritiously delicious homemade bread with perfectly moist crumb and lightly chewy crust, made with soaked 5 grains, grape seed flour, and spelt bread flour along with liquid barley malt extract, which adds so much more flavour and complexity to the taste.
Grape seed flour, naturally high in protein, and OPC (one of the most potent antioxidants known — 50 times as powerful as vitamin E), is known for its great taste and can be added to almost every meal.

Strawberry Soya Protein Balls with Chia Seeds

Friday, April 19, 2013

These protein dessert balls are made of fresh berries, soya protein, almonds and chia seeds. If you are not keen on consuming soy protein isolate, rice, pea, or whey protein are just as good. I love covering them with chia seeds for the extra delicious crunch and earthy look. Go for the white chocolate coating if you have a sweet tooth.

125 g Strawberries
75 g Blueberries
1 tbsp Chia seeds
125 g Almonds, toasted and ground
2-3 tbsp Soya protein isolate, strawberry flavour
50 g Almond slices, roughly chopped
50 g Chia seeds for coating
200 g White chocolate couverture

Puree the berries and mix with chia seeds, ground almonds, soya protein and roughly chopped almond slices in a bowl.
Shape the mixture into balls. Cover with a plastic film and refrigerate for an hour.
Melt the white chocolate couverture over a pot of hot water. Roll the balls with chia seeds. Or dip with the melted white chocolate.
