Chocolate Mousse Cake – gluten free.

IMG_5747

 

This gluten free chocolate cake is super easy and very quick to prepare.

I have been using some DoTerra essential oils and the wild orange one to flavour this works very well. The peppermint would also add good flavour to this also.

you don’t have to ice this cake, I did as a treat, but you can just leave it plain and add some fresh fruit.

I found this recipe on http://www.chelsea.co.nz website.

 

I hope that you enjoy baking and eating  this cake as much as I did!!

 

Happy baking

RAW BITES.

IMG_6288These are delicious little bites of goodness that are  good for you!

The Raw pecan Caramel Slice was found on http://www.foodmatters.com

so moorish this one, just one piece is never enough!

 

The Chocolate Matcha superfood mint slice is also so addictive I can’t stop eating it.

you will find the recipe for this one on http://www.thekitchenmccabe.com

you do need to soak cashews with this one, the recipe says overnight but I did it over 4hrs and seemed to get the same result as overnight.

Hope you enjoy both of these bite size treats as much as I do.

Delicious MUFFINS

This recipe is a favourite of mine originally from the Australian womens weekly cookbook HOME BAKED.

I use this as a base recipe and then mix up the flavours like banana chocolate chip, or raspberry white chocolate, lemon poppy seed and raspberry with lemon curd.

you will need:

2 cups Self Raising Flour

3/4 cup soft brown sugar

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 cup milk/buttermilk – I just use normal milk.

1 egg

1 cup fruit – can be fresh or frozen berries, grated apple, lemon zest poppy seeds.

 

Mix all ingredients together gently folding adding the fruit options last.

place tablespoon full lots in greased muffin pans.

Bake in a moderate oven for 15-20mins till cooked.

Enjoy.

Acai Breakfast Bowl.

IMG_6218Nothing gets you more excited about breakfast than eating a work of art!

Its true we eat with our eyes first so if the food in front of us looks amazing we are more likely to dig in with enjoyment.

These Acai bowls seem to be trending at the moment, my crew get them on occasion!

Todays Blueberry Acai Bowl was after a Bootcamp workout we had done, so we all enjoyed our  breakfast a little bit more having to work so hard for it!

 

You can decorate the tops or change up the fruit whichever way you wish, its all up to you!

 

These ones are super easy to make, I kinda just threw a few things in the blender! and hoped for the best!

 

1 Banana

1 cup frozen blueberries

2 tbsp Acai powder

1/2 cup almond milk

1 Tbsp Greek yogurt

1 tbsp chia seeds

 

Blend all of the above together, place in your bowl and top with fruit nuts and seeds of your choice.

enjoy!

Breakfast is served.
