Peach Strawberry Popsicles

Tuesday, June 17, 2014

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2014 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




These naturally sweetened popsicles are bright, refreshing and healthy. Fresh, sweet, juicy peaches and strawberries are perfect together for a simple and tasty summer treat. I didn't add additional sweetener other than a very ripe banana, you can of course use sugar, syrup or honey instead. Peaches can also be replaced with mango, apricot, or pineapple or a mix of all.

  • 4 Ripe peaches, peeled, pitted and chopped
  • 2 tsp Lime juice
  • 1 Very ripe banana
  • 3 Strawberries, diced
  1. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Gently lower the ripe peaches into the boiling water. Leave it there for 30 seconds or until the skin splits. Remove the peaches with a slotted spoon and plunge them into an ice water bath. After 10 seconds or so, remove them and peel.
  2. Roughly chop the peaches and place them in a blender together with lime juice, and banana. Process until smooth.
  3. Pour half portion into the 8 ice moulds, add in diced strawberries and top with the remaining. Insert sticks, then freeze at least 4 hours or until firm.

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2014 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com





http://schneiderchen.de | © 2014 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com

Incredibly nutritious and bursting with plant protein, this bread, both grain-free and vegan approved, adapted from The Healthy Chef, is simply made with quinoa which is naturally gluten free and gives a light and slightly crunchy texture with a lovely nutty flavours. Quinoa contains all nine essential amino acids, which makes it a complete protein. Chia seeds, a great source of skin-loving omega-3 as well as fiber and calcium, work as a binder which helps hold all the ingredients together.

  • 300 g Quinoa
  • 60 g Chia seeds
  • 250 ml Water
  • 80 g Applesauce
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt
  • 1 tbsp Freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Pumpkin seeds, optional
  1. Soak quinoa in plenty of cold water overnight in the fridge. Soak chia seeds in 125ml of water until gel like. It can be done overnight too.
  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.

Sprouted Chickpea Salad with Pesto Yoghurt Sauce

Monday, June 09, 2014

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2014 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com



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.

SaladPesto Yoghurt Dressing
  • 200 g Sprouted chickpeas
  • 100 g Blueberries
  • 150 g Grape tomatoes
  • 1 handful Arugula
  • 2 tbsp Red pesto
  • 150 g 1.8% Plain yoghurt
  • 1 tsp Lemon zest
  • 1 tsp Lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  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.

Vegan Gluten Free Seeded Oat Bread

Saturday, May 31, 2014

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2014 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




This bread tastes AMAZING and uses only wholegrain oats, lots of seeds (sunflower, hemp, pepita, chia, psyllium, and flax seeds) and almonds. It is high in protein and fiber. It is gluten-free and vegan. If you are interested in fat-free baking, here is the similar one I baked last year using homemade pearsauce in place of oil and the result was great too.
The psyllium husks provides a binder for the bread, in place of the gluten found in traditional flour. You can find them from health food stores or online.

Sprouted Quinoa Salad with Apricots

Monday, May 26, 2014

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2014 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com




Quinoa is a rich source of dietary fiber, potassium, magnesium, iron, zinc, calcium, vitamin E and phosphorus. Quinoa is also gluten-free, making it a good grain substitute for people with wheat sensitivities. Sprouting produces enzymes which aid digestion and also helps the absorption of minerals. For easy directions on sprouting quinoa, check out these instructions from Healy eats real. If you’re searching for a light summer salad, look no further! This light and delicious salad features sprouted quinoa along with fresh apricots, oakleaf lettuce, onion and a basic white balsamic vinaigrette. It's perfect for the lunch or a picnic.

SaladWhite Balsamic Vinaigrette
  • 150 g Quinoa
  • 1 head Oakleaf lettuce
  • 1 Small red onion, sliced
  • 8 Fresh apricots, pitted and quartered

  • 100 ml Extra virgin olive oil
  • 20 ml Macadamia oil
  • 2 Garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/3 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
  1. Combine all the ingredients into your jar or shaker and seal well. Shake vigorously to thoroughly mix together all ingredients and emulsify the oils and mustard. Shake vigorously before use.
  2. Rinse quinoa thoroughly and place in a jar or bowl and cover generously with cold water. Let quinoa soak for about 8 hours or overnight.
  3. Drain and rinse the quinoa. Place a piece of cloth over the neck of the jar and secure with a rubber band.Place jar in a bowl with the cloth covered side down so the excess water will drain out. You can drain the quinoa in a colander lined with a kitchen towel. Repeat this rinsing step twice a day for two days. You will see little thread-like sprouts coming from the quinoa.

Gluten Free Sprouted Black Quinoa Bread

Tuesday, May 20, 2014

http://schneiderchen.de | © 2014 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com





http://schneiderchen.de | © 2014 | http://angiesrecipes.blogspot.com

This is a nutrient rich, dense and moist quinoa bread that I found here. It has a nutty texture that comes from the sprouted black quinoa and makes the perfect sandwiches.
I can’t tell you how good it tastes and how easy this recipe is. The most important steps would be to soak your quinoa overnight until sprouty before starting the recipe and puree it with other ingredients in your food processor. Don't expect it would resemble the traditional bread because it's naturally gluten-free, it wouldn't rise high. Use white or red quinoa if you don't have the black variety and tapioca starch can be substituted with cornstarch.

  • 180 g Black quinoa
  • 3 Egg whites
  • 170 ml Almond milk
  • 40 g Maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp Tapioca starch
  • Sea salt
  • 100 g Almond meal
  • 2 g Baking soda
  • 15 g Baking powder
  1. Rinse quinoa thoroughly and place them in a pot or plastic container. Cover the quinoa with water and let soak overnight. Drain.
  2. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F. Grease or line a small loaf pan with parchment paper.
  3. Place the drained quinoa in a blender along with egg whites, almond milk, maple syrup, tapioca starch, and a good pinch of sea salt. Process until everything is well blended and pureed. You don't want any whole quinoa seeds left.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the almond meal, baking soda, and baking powder. Pour the pureed quinoa mixture into the dry one. Mix until just incorporated. The mixture will as runny as pancake batter.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 50 minutes. Remove the bread from the pan and cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before slicing.
