Love ice cream and healthy homemade desserts, sugar-free yet absolutely delicious? Then this recipe is for you, and you don’t even need an ice cream maker. At the moment I’m in love with Matcha (Green Tea). Its slightly herbal taste combined with something creamy and sweet is a great taste experience. One day I had Matcha ice cream prepared for dinner with friends, but I realized it wasn’t enough for everyone. Looking for additional ingredients to add, I picked bananas. It was a winner, nicely enhancing the Matcha flavor and adding a creamy texture. Our guests loved it, and now we always have some Matcha Banana Ice Cream in our freezer.
I always look for carb-free or low-carb ingredients for our daily meals and snacks. In the following recipe, I found organic cooked lentils in liquid, with only 10% of carbohydrates. I combined the slightly nutty flavor of the lentils with salty feta cheese, added sour cream, coriander, and chilies. This created a delightful taste experience.
If you love Asian flavors, this is a great summer starter with lots of Umami taste in it. Fresh seafood is combined with delicious Edamame puree that has a hint of sweetness from the coconut, and the soy reduction gives it a salty balance. Make sure you buy organic Edamame (soy beans) that are Non-GMO certified (GMO stands for genetically-modified organism). They can be hard to find in some places, but can be substituted with organic peas.
I’m totally in love with Matcha Green Tea. I could add it to any kind of meal I’m creating at the moment. The slightly bitter and well balanced herbal taste is very delicious and I will soon try to add it even in savory dishes. This time it was girl’s night again and I created a completely carb-free, sugar-free, vegan, and very healthy dessert recipe. Because chia seeds and coconut flakes are also part of it, we came up with the fun name of “Matchicoco”.
The sun is shining and it’s finally getting warmer in the mornings when leaving the house to bring the kids to school. I really need sunshine in my life and our weeks of sunshine in Luxembourg are very limited. Well, every time the glowing planet shows itself we’re out and about. Off course, on those days you don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen preparing food. This salad is a flavor explosion and the perfect quick fresh summer starter. It’s a creamy, crunchy, spicy seafood combination, all in one dish.
