Energizing Breakfast Pudding with Dates and Flaxseeds

Now you might think that all I do is eat breakfast, but I'll get back to lunches, main courses and smoothies shortly. 

This breakfast pudding is sweet and perfect for kids as you try to get them off dairy and artificially sweetened yoghurts packed with deadly additives. For kids, I'd go a little easy on the Flaxseeds and nuts. If you are allergic to nuts, just leave them out.

I usually store the fruit in the fridge the night before so the pudding is nice and cold. 

Ingredients

1 Apple (Organic)

1 Banana (Organic)

3-4 Dates (The more, the sweeter it gets)

2 tbsp Flaxseeds (grinded)

2 tbsp Cashew nuts 

1 tbsp Chia seeds

Blend everything until smooth. Top with Flaxseeds, Hempseeds and/or Cashew nuts and serve directly. If you find the color boring, add some Strawberries or Acai. 

Pear - Banana Hemp Breakfast Pudding

Sorry for the lack of posts here lately. Due to personal reasons I haven't felt like writing here for a while. Now I'm back!

This yoghurt is one of my favorites and it's sweet and energizing, while gives you enough protein to feel focused for hours to come. I'll post another breakfast pudding after this one. 

As usual these are very easy to make and with a right blender it's done in seconds. Chop the pear and banana in smaller pieces and you'll have it done in microseconds. 


Ingredients:
1 Large Pear (Organic) 
2 Large Banana (Organic)
1 scoop Hemp Protein
1 tbsp Cashew Nuts


Blend and serve. 

Cashew Cream - The Days of Dairy are gone. Soy next?

I wrote earlier about the downsides of cows milk. Unless you are allergic to nuts, this healthy alternative is by far better than milk or cream. Also, Cashew nuts makes you happier. True story! One handful of Cashew nuts, has similar effects as those of Prozac (according to Andrew W Saul, Ph.D).

As a master Googler Level 6 I have scanned the internet for various vegan recipes and most of them wants you to use Soy milk, cream or other Soy products. While I believe this is better than dairy, be careful how much Soy products you consume. Brendan Brazier wrote in his book "Thrive" that some experts call Soy the new Gluten as it's being used as a filler in so many products that we risk developing an intolerance to it. I never feed my kids Soy products. Use Cashew Milk or Cream instead, unless you are allergic.

Always, always buy ORGANIC Soy products. Soy production is being once of the big threats to the environment and also one of the crops being genetically modified by Monsanto - PURE effin' evil, my friends.

Cashew Milk and Cream is super easy to make, but you need a little planning as the Cashews needs to be soaked for at least eight hours. All you need is natural Cashews (I started writing natural nuts, but then I thought about soaking nuts and things got weird in my head) and some water.

1. Soak the Cashews in enough water to cover them and about 2 cm (or 1") over.
2. Leave them in the fridge or in a cool, dark place over night.
3. Pour the nuts and water in your blender and mix until smooth.
4. Depending on if you want a milky or creamy texture add water. You can't add Cashews afterwards so make up your mind before you start blending.

The Cashew milk or cream should be stored in clean glass bottle and will last in the fridge for a day or two.

Raw Cashew Fruit Yoghurt

Do you love yoghurt, but want to kick the dairy from your diet? Raw yoghurt is healthier, fresher and more nutritious than any dairy yoghurt. This particular yoghurt requires a little bit of preparation in advance as I use Cashew Cream as a base.

Cashew Cream

Soak 1 dl of Cashew nuts (obviously natural, not roasted or salted - but you knew that already) in water. Add water so it covers the Cashews and about 2 cm above them. Store them in your fridge over night.

Pour out some of the water and blend the Cashews to a cream-like fluid.

Raw Cashew Fruit Yoghurt

1 Apple, cut in very small pieces

1 Banana

2 dl of Cashew Cream

1 tablespoon of Pumpkin seeds

2 tablespoons of Flaxseeds (Linfrön in Swedish)

1 tablespoon of Sunflower seeds

1. Mix the apple pieces with about 1 dl of the Cashew Cream. Mix to a smooth cream.
2. Add the Pumpkin-, Flax- and Sunflower seeds and mix. If the mix gets too thick, add more of the Cashew Cream.
3. Add the banana and mix until smooth and yoghurt-like.
4. Serve with some seeds and Cashews on top.

Note: Never peel Apples. A lot of nutrition gets lost by peeling Apples, but make sure you buy organic Apples (or use your own) as Apples are often victims of heavy pesticides and pesticides are pure poison to your body.
