Healthy Receipes

Stench Blossoms

I thought it'd be handy to have a thread in this forum for healthy recipe ideas.

I'll get the ball rolling.

Oven Baked Potato, Chorizo & Feta Fritatta
8 Eggs
100g Chorizo
100ml Milk
100g Feta
100g Baby potatoes cooked
Chopped parsley
Salt & Pepper to taste
Coconut oil for frying.

1. Preheat your oven to 180. Grease and line and oven dish (I use a loaf tin)
2. Fry your chorizo till nice and crispy.
3. Beat eggs and milk together with the herbs
4. Scatter the baby potatoes and chorizo into the oven dish, then pour over the egg mixture followed by the feta.
5. Put in the oven for about 20-30mins until the frittata is just set.
6. Serve with a big green salad.

*I'm aware that everyone has a different opinion of 'healthy' but just lets go with a theme of a decent amount of protein, and something that's not heavily reliant of processed foods.

Im gonna post these just to help the thread get started. Got them from https://www.facebook.com/FitnessRecipes I think.

Banana pancakes (no flour)

1/2 banana
1 egg
butter for cooking
fruit/syrup/greek yoghurt for serving
pinch of cinnamon
(protein powder optional) 25 grammes
cocoa powder (optional) teaspoon full

Mash banana with egg, then stir in the powders and cinnamon.

Coat a pan with a thin layer of butter, medium heat and spoon the mixture, cook for a few minutes until it firms and goes golden brown, flip it over and cook the other side.
Serve with sliced fruit and greek yoghurt, or syrup (i like it with blueberries and greek yoghurt)

Sweet potato pancake

1 whole egg,
2 egg whites,
150g of cooked mashed sweet potato.
cinnamon to taste

beat the eggs and mix into the mash, add a pinch of cinnamon.

cook the same way as the banana ones, (roughl 2-3 mins each side) serve with fruit/syrup/greek yoghurt etc or bacon for a savory twist.


Edit, Ive been eating the banana ones for around a year, they work really well. The sweet potato ones popped up on my facebook yesterday so this thread seemed ideal place to post them. havent tried them yet, but will do soon.

Ingredients
6 large eggs separated
2/3 cup (150ml of a measuring jug) of Splenda *
4 teaspoons of sugar- optional, but it really improves the flavour
2 oz of cocoa powder (be sure to use real cocoa powder and not drinking chocolate etc)
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
Frylight or Pam spray


* NOTE- I advise using Splenda or another sucralose based sweetener suitable for baking. Avoid any aspartame based sweeteners as they don’t heat well and will leave a bitter taste.


Method
Preheat oven to 180c or 350f, spray a oven proof cake tin or loaf tin with Frylight or Pam Spray
Whisk the egg whites to the soft peak stage and set aside.
Place the egg yolks in another mixing bowl. Add the splenda and vanilla essence and whisk until smooth.
Add the cocoa powder into the egg yolk mixture and mix until smooth. If it starts to get too stiff, add a little of the egg white mixture.
Carefully fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture with a metal spoon, the mixture should be an even milky chocolate colour with little flecks of dark chocolate.
Pour the mixture into a standard cake/loaf tin.
Bake the cake for approx 25 minutes until springy. Remove it from the oven but leave it in the cake tin to cool.
The cake is lovely served with some fresh light cream and fruit or one of the following toppings


Topping 1 (Optional)

4 level tablespoons of light cream cheese
1 teaspoon of cocoa powder
1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
sweetener (2 level teaspoons)


Another thing I also do is include the zest of one orange before baking and you have a squidgy chocolate orange cake. I can vouch for it, it is yum

Chocolate Protein Mud cake

• 30g Oats or almond flour or coconut flour
• 1 egg white
• 20g chocolate Whey
• 1 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1 tbsp Greek yogurt/cottage cheese
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• half tsp baking powder
• 1 tbsp stevia or splenda
• 50ml Milk (coconut,almond, hazelnut - any milk will do)
• 20g mixed nuts or raisins (optional)

*if you don't have whey just add 15g of cocoa powder instead.


-> Mix all ingredients together(expect for egg & milk). beat egg and milk in separate bowl , gradually adding to all ingredients. You should get a rough dough like texture.
add mixture to bowl and heat in microwave for approx 2 mins.
It will rise slightly and should have hard-ish texture on the outside and soft texture on the inside.

*be sure not to add to much baking powder as it will rise significantly in the microwave

*For best results use a hand processor. beating the crap out of all the ingredients will work too
