Low GI lemon sorbet

This is my version of Jamie Olivers lemon sorbet. Refreshing and awesome!

- 50g coconut sugar

Juice and zest from one lemon

- 0.5 dl of lemon juice

- 1 tbsp of high fat greek youghurt

Mix the sugar and water, bring to a boil

Add the lemon juice and zest, mix in the yoghurt.

Stick in the freezer and every hour mix with a fork until frozen.

The coconut sugar allows you to have the sweetness at a much lover calorie count and has a low GI that does not give you a bloodsugar burst.

Anonymous asked: What do you usually mix your protein powder in/with?

Hello anon!

I use protein powder for a lot of semi-unconventional stuff, I really hate to mix it with just water because it just tastes BAD, and I don’t like to think about my food as _just_ being my fuel, I want to enjoy it! So for me it’s worth adding some calories to it. Here are a few things I do:

- If i’m in a hurry, I mix it with almond milk plain milk, that gives a better taste.

- For breakfast, mixing it with some yoghurt, almond milk and berries or really, any mess of fruits you happen to have at home makes a perfect breakfast. (This morning was banana, carrots, strawberries, spinach and mango with almond milk and protein powder, sounds weird but was nice!)

- I bake with it, especially these: http://humblefoods.tumblr.com/post/17660293071/awesome-choc-chip-protein-bombs

You can use a good protein powder for a lot of stuff, but it takes some getting used to. My best advice for any one starting to use them is to mix it with some liquids and berries and find a type you like. That gives it a better taste, some variation and adds up the fibre content. =)

I’m done with my finals

The end result was me sleeping for 15 hours straight. Seriously, who does that? Me apparently. I feel kind of exhausted, I need to get some good food in me and start working out and I’ll feel better in no time. :)

Whoha!

How to loose weight, part 1 - become passionate about food

So, wow, time really does fly. I can’t believe that my life, the way I eat and feel could change so much in such a short period of time. I eat a low calorie clean diet, I have come to realize that I don’t have to eat foods that I don’t like, I find myself celebrating cooking fresh, having veggies, finding amazing organic produce and it all tastes so unbelievably good! I don’t feel like my diet is depriving me of anything - the other way around I now ENJOY all the food that I eat and that’s amazing. Every snack I have, all the treats, I have made in my own kitchen, stuffing my freezer full off healthy muffins, cookies and things I love. Preparing salads, and chillies and stirfrys and fresh fruit. Yes, I do spend more time in my kitchen, but I spend LESS time wandering around the store trying to figure out what to eat and preparing semi-processed crappy food. When you become aware of what you eat, it’s inevitably so that you change. I had one semi processed meal a while back, and really, it tasted like crap! I was so surprised, the taste was old and salty and.. I missed my fresh red bellpeeppers and dessert cherries. :)

To all of you out there, trying to find your way in the world of health and weight loss and good living, I can highly recommend you to try out a change, get curious about your food, what does it contain? Where was it produced? Get into you kitchen and start cooking things that you love and really enjoy! If you don’t like it, nothing lost and you can go back to your old ways.

Oh, maybe you wonder, all that is fine. But did it render any weightloss results? Yes, it did, since I have kept a low calorie diet I have lost about 20 lbs. There are tons of ways that you can loose weight, not all of them work for all of us, but learning and taking an intresst in food is not just about lifestyle and weightless, it’s about awareness and treating yourself with care. Body and mind.
