Week two - found me getting a bit bored with the same old, so started to experiment with some new recipes. Some were disasters - others I have improved on, and some have been ok.
So to start here are some ingredient links of stuff I have bought to help in the process...
INGREDIENTS
Protein Powder - for smoothies from Protein NZ - made sure it was the Whey Isolate & we got the vanilla flavour. This is a great addition to our yoghurt & berry smoothies we have for breakfast.
Supplements - Multi vitamins and Fucoxanthin from iHeal Trademe Store
RECIPE FAILS
These recipes worked but tasted yuk - I have decided that I don't really like the texture of coconut flour...and that tapioca flour makes things slimy.
1. English muffins - passable but not really that nice
2. Choc muffins - Jon liked them - very strong bitter taste - maybe too much cocoa & need more honey/sweetener
3. Protein pancakes - tasted eggy - not nice (they looked so nice in the pic - but I couldn't stomach them!)
RECIPE OK'S (but need work)
1. Falafal - wouldn't stick together without flour (& I think I then added too much!)
2. Tortilla (flatbread) - needed a smaller frying pan as really hard to flip - but otherwise a WIN! I think this is where tapioca flour comes into its own.
3. Waffles - I liked these - but again the coconut flour was quite dominant
RECIPE WIN1. Kombucha - trialling 3 flavours this week (chai, ginger & cinnamon)
2. Ketchup - sugar free (my own concoction)
RECIPES to TRY this week
1. Coconut yoghurt
2. Israeli Salad
3. Homemade Mayo
4. Scotch Eggs - will have to substitute pork mince for ??
5. Tuna Cakes
6. Sausage patties for breakfast
7. Naan bread
8. Choc slice
