Gluten free psyllium and coconut bread with seeds

I have previously found in the past that my body seems to be happier when I eat less gluten and therefore I am always trying out new things where I aim to eliminate as much gluten as possible. I recently made a bread by combining coconut flour, psyllium and seeds. It went great with my raw jam and kept me full for a very long time.

To make this healthy bread you will need the following:

• 95g coconut flour
• 65g psyllium
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 3 eggs
• 350g water or more if needed
• 50g chia seeds
• 50g sesame seeds
• 50g flaxseeds
• 50g sunflower seeds
• 20g coconut oil

1. First combine all ingredients apart from the water in a big bowl and mix well.
2. Next start adding the water and keep mixing it in in stages until a dough forms.
3. Shape into a bread loaf by hand and bake on 200 degrees for about 40-50 minutes.

 

Coconut Energisers Recipe

I originally saw this recipe on Living for Life and it has since become one of my favourites. As the name suggests these coconut energisers do give you a nice boost of energy I have found. Especially in the afternoon after another training session at the gym these are excellent.

What you will need to make these:

• 500g dried coconut
• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon coconut sugar

1. Process all ingredients on speed 8 on 37 degrees for 3 minutes.
2. Pour into little ice cube moulds and leave to set. These will set easily during colder months even left outside of the fridge. 

 Make sure to check out the blog of the ladies from Living for Life, there is lots of great and healthy recipes and information on there!

Lots of love!

Raw Coconut Sweets

I wanted to share the recipe to make some of my favourite sweets using coconut, cashews and raw honey.

You will need:

• 160g desiccated coconut
• 40 cashews 
• 100g raw honey

If you have a thermomix process the above on speed 8 for about 30 seconds. If you have a food processor process the ingredients until a sticky dough forms.

Next roll the dough into little balls and place in the freezer to set for about 30 minutes.

Enjoy!
