When Dehydration isn't a Bad Thing!

My Dehydrator.

Possibly my new favourite thing, in the world, ever, FACT!

It was about £40 from Amazon and in my opinion worth every damn penny!

Within 24hours you have the most delicious (and HEALTHY) crisps!! 

Ever thought you could eat a lemon? Peel an' all? 
Sprinkle that bad boy with some Truvia and wait 24 hours! 

YES!

Here are some pictures...



I sprinkled the banana with cocoa and the apple with cinnamon







NOM!!!

Chocolate Protein Pancakes

In a word: NOM!

 I'm on a strict diet just now so my breakfast consists of: Whey protein, 50g Oats and 6 egg whites.

 Which I've been eating all separately since I've been offshore, but, now that I'm home... 
I thought I'd translate the above into pancakes and throw some fruit in for some vits and mins :)

So, below, we have:
1 Scoop of Chocolate Whey
30g Oat Flour
20g Mixed fruits
4 Egg Whites
100ml Water

I get about 10 pancakes outta this.

..................................................................................................

Step 1:
 Mix the wet and Mix the dry


.............................................................................................................

Step 2: 
Mix both together

....................................................................................................

Step 3: 
Make Pancakes! Duh



 ................................................................................................

Step 4: 
Admire my action shot 
(Yes I cook in my running gear...I was hungry)


..........................................................................................................

Step 5: 
Create a B-E-A-Utiful stack and top with: 


Bananas and Manuka





Or make like me the next day, and microwave some frozen berries and serve HOT!




The whole mix makes:
414 Calories
50g Carbs (21g of fruit sugars)
45g Protein
6g Fat (2g of Sats)

 
 You know you wanna ;)

Sweet Potato and Marshmallow Mushrooms

Yes, I went there.
I went all American on you and mixed vegetables and candy.
But it was soooo goooood!!!!
Ingredients:
200g Sweet potato
20g (1tbsp) Mallow Fluff 
(or Manuka if you want to keep it clean)
20g Oat Flour
15g Almond Flour 
10 Mini Marshmallows
.................................................................................
Pretty simple too, grab your sweet potatooo...


 And some Fluff 
(or Manuka if you're staying clean)


...................................................................................
Cook and mash the sweet potato and add a tablespoon of Fluff.
 

......................................................................................................

Mix together then add about 20g of oat flour  


.......................................................................................................


Shape into teaspoon sized balls
 (I managed to get 10)

.....................................................................................................

Roll in almond flour to coat ...


and pop on a baking tray
 

....................................................................................................

Put a mini marshmallow in the top
 (or you could roll the potato around it so it's in the centre.. 
but then it wouldn't be a mushroom, more of a doughnut) 


That one on the right was my tester... (ie: the one I get to eat ;) )

.........................................................................................................

Bung them in the oven for 10 minutes @ 180C

 
Haha (oven action shot)
.......................................................................................................

Et Voila!!
