Almond Bread

Have You Ever Tried Almond Bread?

Bread does not have to contain flour made from wheat, have you ever tried a bread made from a nut flour like almond flour? The following recipe is fantastic, and once you have made and tasted it you will be hooked. It smells great when cooking in the oven, and is full of fiber and protein and makes an excellent snack.

Ingredients

2 cups blanched almond flour 2 tablespoons coconut flour ¼ cup flaxseed meal ¼ teaspoon sea salt ½ teaspoon baking soda 5 free-range eggs 1 tablespoon coconut oil 1 tablespoon honey or rice syrup 1 tablespoon organic apple cider vinegar

Method

1. Place almond flour, coconut flour, flax, salt and baking soda in a food processor or blender 2. Mix ingredients together thoroughly 3. Blend in eggs, oil, honey (or rice syrup) and cider vinegar 4. Place the mix to a greased 7.5 x 3.5 loaf pan. I add grease-proof paper to the pan, it peels easily from the loaf once baked. 5. Bake at 350° (180 Celsius) for 30 minutes 6. Take from oven, turn the loaf onto a breadboard and peel off the greaseproof paper, then cool in the pan for 2 hours.

Healthy Nut Mix

Healthy Nut Mix

Healthy Nut Mix is what a lot of people are familiar with. Try to stay away from peanuts in commercial “scroggin” or nut & dried fruit blends. It is best to make your own nut mix, that way you will ensure you always get the nuts you like. Avoid roasted, and only buy small amount of nuts. I have found many nuts to be “off” or rancid when I go shopping, and experience will soon tell you what is acceptable and what is clearly not. The more fresh nuts you eat, the more fussy you will become!

I prefer almonds, Brazil nuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, and a small amount of pumpkin and sunflower seeds, these are your best choices. This easy to prepare nut mix is a great energy snack when on the run or for school lunches. I carry a small amount in my briefcase on my travels in a flat stainless steel container, along with my trusty stainless steel water container

Ingredients

2 cup almonds 1/2 cup walnuts or pecan nuts A few cashews (buy organic) 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds 1/4 cup sunflower seeds 1 tablespoon dried goji berries

Combine all ingredients. Store in a airtight container, a stainless steel container is best.

Carob Balls

Chocolate? Try Carob Balls Instead

Carob balls are a non- chocolate treat which makes a perfect lunch box addition for a child or adult. The combination of almonds, coconut, honey and carob powder is irresistible and once you make these little treasures you will have to hide them from the kids! And to keep the adults happy? – Add a teaspoon of rum before you knead them, and firm up with a little more carob powder if need be. But keep these away from the kids for sure!

You don’t need to add the honey, the balls are perfectly OK to make without honey but you will need to add some additional coconut cream to keep the mix together. For those wanting to get rid of their bacterial intestinal problems or a yeast infection, you are best to avoid the honey, otherwise you will be fine.

Ingredients

1 cup finely chopped almonds 1 cup coconut 1/2 cup mild carob powder 1/2 cup unprocessed honey

Method

Knead ingredients like dough. Add more coconut if necessary. Shape into small bars or balls. Honey not necessary, just add some coconut cream & let balls harden in fridge. Chill before serving. Hide!
