Indulgence...healthy and delicious desserts

Everybody likes a good dessert and to indulge once in a while. A piece of cake, a little bit of chocolate or a cupcake. It tastes delicious, right?

 

And…I can tell you great news:

1)      There are desserts which are delicious AND healthy at the same time. (Yes, you read right!!)

2)      I’m here to share the secret about healthy sweet treats with you! ;)

In this post I will give you two amazing and tasty recipes with health benefits.

First the “well-known” chia pudding.

Chia seeds are rich in fibers, protein and antioxidants. Moreover they contain 12 times more magnesium than broccoli and twice as much omega-3-fatty acids than 100g of salmon.

Second the homemade Granola light.

Less sugar, less fat, no additives and wholegrain oats. Do I need to say more?

 

Time to “cook”!

Begin with preparing the chia pudding. Place about two tablespoons of chia seeds in a small bowl or glass.

 

  
Pour in one cup of milk. I recommend using soy or almond milk because of the nutty taste. Stir a little bit until milk and seeds are well combined. Put the glass in your fridge and let it sit for about one hour.

Top your pudding with berries and nuts, take a spoon and indulge!

 

 Now it’s time for the Granola.

Melt about one tablespoon of butter and two tablespoons of honey on low heat. Stir once in a while to blend all together.

Then add three cups wholegrain oats. Toss everything and spread it on a lined baking tray. 

 

Place it in the oven and roast until it’s golden and crispy. This will take about 20-30 minutes at 180°C. Don’t forget to stir once in a while.

Remove from the oven, put your granola on a kitchen towel to cool and store it in a dry place afterwards. I recommend a lidded box or something similar.

Please notice that this recipe is just the basic

form. You can add any kind of nuts, dried fruits or use peanut butter to add more flavors.

That’s all! You can eat it with yogurt as a topping to your oatmeal or even wrap it as gift.

I prefer it with Greek yogurt, berries and some cashews (as you can see in the pics).

Just place about half a cup of Greek yogurt and some berries in a bowl. Sprinkle with a little bit of your Granola light and add some cashews.

As always in the end...the ingredients:

Easy, delicious and healthy!

I hope you like it as much as I do.

Enjoy and maybe you wanna send me pics of your personalized Granola light.
