Lost At Sea..

Yup, That’s pretty much how I'm feeling right now. The weather is utter rubbish just now in Aberdeen which has caused cancelled flights for a few days. I was meant to be off yesterday at lunchtime but it’s now scheduled for 8am tomorrow.

Fingers crossed!!

I get a few days at home before my Chris gets off his rig too and we head down to Englandshire for a few days to view some housies! 

 SOO frigging excited to be buying a house with the man I love ADORE

Anyways... back to food.

I’ve got a huge mountain of recipes in my little black book that my brain has devised and I need to perfect each one before sharing them on here for you, but not a lot of time, so I need your help to pick one of the following deserts:

·Clean Chocolate Torte

·High Protein Pina Colada Ice Cream

·Raw Carrot Cake

Leave a comment below and let me know which one tickles your fancy, and if I get no replies, then I’ll post pictures but wont share the recipe.

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

I also have a number of projects I've just started:

 One long term, one not so long term, and one I’m aiming to have finished ASAP!

In case you didn't know... (and if not, where have you BEEN?!) I've just qualified as a nutritionist and I'm super excited about what challenges that holds for me in the near future! So the project I'm hoping to have finished soon is getting my website up and running so that I can start taking clients and get myself settled into my new role. 

The second project I'm working on just now is adding to my qualifications: I'm doing my Personal Trainer course! So... soon I’ll not only be able to feed you into shape, but I’ll be able to certifiably kick your butt into shape as well.

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

My third project is long term, and slightly scary! I'm not going to share what it is just yet, but this is just me putting on record that as of ....

NOW!

Project: Scrap. . . Has begun.

I am aiming to have it complete in 18-24 months.

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)

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!!
