Very Berry Frozen Yogurt

1 Comment

Hey peoples! Happy Wednesday! We’re halfway through the week-you can do it! I’m always looking for healthy treats, and I found this Frozen Yogurt on Pinterest a little while ago. There’s no added sugar or other unwanted additives with names so long that you can’t pronounce ( I would name a few but I don’t think that I can spell any of them right), and also tastes delicious! Thanks to Gimme Delicious at gimmedelicious.com for this recipe!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups frozen berries
  • 1/2 cup Vanilla or Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1-2 Tablespoons of Honey
  • Dash of vanilla
  • A bit of lemon juice (optional)

Directions:

  1. Put all ingredients into a blender.
  2. Blend until smooth.
  3. Eat is straight from the blender, or put it in the freezer for a bit for a harder alternative.
  4. That’s it!

So simple and so delicious! I haven’t tried it with different frozen fruits, but I’m sure it would work just as well. Let me know if you’ve tried any!

Healthy Cinnamon Dried Apples

Leave a comment

Hey guys! I’m super sorry about not posting for awhile- a horrible way to start off 2018, I know. Hopefully I can make it up to you with these delicious dried apples- they’re one of my favourite snacks! With no added sugar and plenty of apple-pie flavour, they’re sure to please any sweet-tooth while providing you with a healthy snack. Lets get into the recipe!

Ingredients:

  • 2-3 large apples
  • As much cinnamon as you want!

 

Directions:

  • Preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Wash your apples
  • Slice the apples. This is the tricky part, because you want to get the thickness just right. If you want your apples to be super crispy, since the very thin, but if you would like them a bit chewier leave them thicker. If its you’re first time making this recipe, I suggest that you do a few thin and a few thick to see what you like best.img_8533
  • Place the apples on a parchment-covered baking sheet so that they don’t stick to the pan.
  • Now it’s time for the cinnamon! Sprinkle some on each since and then rub it around with your finger for an even coating. If you’re not a big fan of cinnamon, you can leave it off, but it really adds to the flavour of the apples.
  • Bake the apples for about 2 hours. About halfway through, take out the pan and flip the slices over so that you can put some more cinnamon on the other side. Again, if you would prefer to leave the cinnamon off, you can, but you still need to flip the apples.
  • Take out of the oven and enjoy! Store these in an airtight container in the fridge.

 

That’s all! Super simple and super delicious. I promise that there will be 2 more pots this week- a bookish one and a crafty one! Enjoy these apples and I’ll see you then!!

For protein, you can add in any kind of meat that you want! best of all, it’s super easy. So, before you start drooling all over your screen, let me get into the recipe.;))

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup quinoa

  • 1/2 cup diced peppers
  • 1 sprig of green onion
  • 1 teaspoon dill
  • 1 teaspoon parsley

Follow the cooking instructions on the package of your quinoa. Once you’re done, it should look something like this:

Looks super appetizing, right? Don’t worry, once you add all of the veggies and herbs, it looks way better. While the quinoa is cooling down, dice your pepper, cucumber and green onion into mid-sized pieces and cut your lemon in half, like this:

Now take your quinoa and add the cilantro, dill, and parsley to it, followed by the veggies. Finally, squeeze the lemon juice into the salad. Store this in a container in the fridge and enjoy it for lunch the next day!

As for protein, you can really add anything you want. I usually put hemp seeds in mine, but chicken would go great as well.

I hope that you like this recipe! Make sure that you let me know what you think of it in the comments section! See you tomorrow for Day 10 of 12 Days of Awesome Ways to Be Healthier.;))
