Made with bananas (both fresh and dehydrated), whey isolate, and egg whites, this king of quick bread is packed with the protein and deliciousness of whole grain flour milled fresh from einkorn wheat berries. You can also bake this bread with other whole grain flour, for example, kamut, emmer or spelt.
Einkorn (from German Einkorn, literally "single grain") is considered to be the oldest form of cultivated wheat, dating back over 10,000 years, and completely unhybridized.
This glorious ancient grain is unique in flavour and nutritional benefits. Baked goods made with einkorn have a nice yellowish colour, which is due to its high content of lutein, a yellow pigment that has been associated with eye health and beta-carotene, an antioxidant that plays an essential role in bone growth, skin health and strengthening the immune system.
Einkorn, while not gluten-free, produces a natural gluten that is considered “gluten-safe” for some people with gluten sensitivity.

Einkorn Protein Banana Bread

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line a 25-30cm loaf pan with parchment.
2. Sieve freshly ground einkorn flour, protein isolate, baking powder, cinnamon powder and salt.
3. Stir together the mashed bananas, egg whites and water in another bowl, then pour into the dry mixture.
4. Mix well and pour into the prepared loaf pan. Lightly press some dehydrated banana chips into the batter. Bake in the middle of hot oven for about 50 minutes. Insert a skewer into the centre, if it comes out clean, the bread is ready.

2. Drain soaked quinoa and rinse well through a sieve. Drain thoroughly and place in a food processor. Add in chia gel, remaining water, applesauce, baking soda, salt, and lemon juice. Process for 3 minutes. The bread mix should resemble a batter consistency with some whole quinoa still left in the mix.
3. Spoon the batter into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle the top with pumpkin seeds if desired. Or you can divide the batter into 12 silicon muffin cups.
4. Bake the loaf for 60-70 minutes at 180C/350F, 40 minutes for the muffins, until firm to touch and bounces back when pressed with your finger. Remove and cool for 30 minutes in the pan, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack. Store wrapped in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Chickpeas, also known as Garbanzo beans, are a legume and contain high levels of phytic acid and enzyme inhibitors that can make legumes hard to digest. Sprouting process will help neutralize or eliminate all of these problems, while enhancing the nutrient content.
Alive and full of nutrients, this simple sprouted chickpea salad with pesto yoghurt sauce is perfect balance of flavours and textures, and tastes SUPER. If you are not fond of the raw taste, steam sprouted chickpeas for 10 minutes or use canned one instead.

1. To sprout the chickpeas, rinse and soak the chickpeas for 24 hours. This starts the sprouting process by waking them up with rehydration.
2. Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly. Place them in a colander over a bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Set aside at room temperature and out of direct sunlight.
3. Rinse and drain the chickpeas once every 8-12 hours for 3-5 days, depending on how long you like your sprouted chickpeas. If you prefer your chickpeas cooked, steam them for ten minutes.
4. Whisk the yogurt, pesto, lemon juice and zest together in a small bowl. Taste and season well with salt and pepper.
5. Place all the salad ingredients in a large bowl and toss gently with the dressing until well combined.
