Eating More Fruit & Veg

Philips has a test panel where you can apply to try your preferred Philips product. I dreamed about a perfect blender and my dream has come true, Philips sent me ProBlend 63D. This blender is exactly what I need for making my home made nut butters. It is a high speed blender for 50% finer blending. It blends a perfect nut butter so I can control the oil content of my favourite spread. I had a blender before which was unable to transform nuts for a nut butter. I am so satisfied with Philips ProBlend.

I love to blend fruit & veg smoothies to help my family and myself to eat more veggies. We are fine with fruit but I think we all need to eat more vegetables. Philips has a free app with lots of healthy recipes, where the proportions of smoothie ingredients are:

1/3 fruit for natural sweetness

1/3 vegetables as health and fibre boosters

1/3 liquid for hydration

I also use my Philips ProBlend to make homemade ice cream from frozen fruit, ice or frozen yogurt. This massive blender is strong enough to blend ice cubes perfectly. It has even suction cup legs for a perfect hold.

With Philips ProBlend 6 healthy eating and snacking is extremely easy. Making smoothies is as quick as opening a sharing bag of chocolate. Which one would you like to choose?

Philips ProBlend 6 is completely dishwasher safe so no hand washing needed. It looks very professional so I keep it on my kitchen top and use often.

Crepe Torte

Basically it is not a torte, just lots of layers of thin protein packed pancakes filled with low calorie chocolate spread and chunky peanut butter. Quick, healthy, nutritious and yummy! Satisfies well sweet tooth!

Ingredients

Batter:

-300g white flour (gluten free is fine as well)

-3 whole eggs

-300ml carbonated water

-1 tbsp sugar

-50g protein powder (I always use unflavoured)

-pinch of salt

-oil spray for greasing the pans

Filling:

-peanut butter (I love to chew on chunky bites but smooth is easier to spread)

-Sweet Freedom Choc Pot

Preparation

Mix all the batter ingredients well together. Make sure  any bits of flour and lumps incorporated.

Spray little oil in the pan and heat on high temperature. Pour half of ladle batter into the pan. As soon as the batter hits the hot pan, tip it around from side to side to get the base evenly coated with batter.

It cooks quickly – when edges start to curl it is time to flip over with a pan slice. Repeat until all the batter has gone. I always use two pans so I do not need to wait for any crepes to cook.

Spread one pancake with Choc Pot then the next one with peanut butter and repeat.
