Fat Busting Smoothies

 A fat-busting smoothie can be a delicious and nutritious addition to your diet. These smoothies are designed to help boost metabolism, increase satiety, and promote fat loss. Here are some tasty and science-backed fat-burning smoothie recipes that you can try:

  1. Belly Fat Busting Kale, Apple, and Orange Smoothie:

    • Create a smoothie base by blending cold water, orange juice, and kale together. This gives it a smoother blend and keeps the smoothie from having leafy chunks of kale.
    • Toss in chopped apple and almond butter. Process until smooth and well combined.
    • Add chia seeds, ground flax seeds, and maple syrup.
    • Finally, add ice and blend for another 10 seconds. Enjoy! 1
  2. Easy Berry Belly Fat Smoothie:

    • In a blender, combine the following ingredients:
      • Greek yogurt
      • Mixed berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries)
      • A splash of vanilla extract
      • Ground chia seeds
      • Ice
    • Blend on high for 1 minute or until desired consistency is reached. Serve cold2
  3. Ginger, Grapefruit, and Green Tea Fat-Burning Smoothie:

  4. Creamy Chocolate Peanut Butter Fat-Burning Smoothie:

Remember that portion control, hydration, and nutrient-rich ingredients are key to creating effective fat-burning smoothies. Feel free to customize these recipes based on your taste preferences and dietary needs. Cheers to a healthier you!

Fried Green Tomatoes

 
Can you guess what I'm going to be making, tonight for dinner?  You got it.... "fried green tomatoes"!  Just starting getting tomatoes out of my garden and this plant wasn't handling the heat too well, so I saved the tomatoes, before it finally bites the dust.

CAULIFLOWER BREAD BUNS


INGREDIENTS:

  • 3 cups finely riced raw cauliflower florets (cauliflower should be riced until they resemble coarse/large crumbs; 3 cups will be about 1/2 of a large head of cauliflower but it's best to actually measure it out)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan or mozzerella cheese
  • 2 tbsp almond flour
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp dry Italian seasoning herb blend or taco seasoning
  • 1 tsp white sesame seeds, substitute poppy, chia or hemp optional

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 400F. In a large bowl, combine cauliflower, eggs, cheese, almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning. Mix with a large spoon until everything is thoroughly mixed. Mixture should be wet but not liquid.
  2. Grease the cavities of a muffin top pan. If you don't own a muffin top pan, you can also make free form ones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicon baking mat.
  3. Measure out 1/2 cup lightly packed cauliflower mix. Dump onto muffin mold or onto baking sheet and press down on the middle with the palm of your hand. If you are using muffin top pan, evenly spread the cauliflower across the mold and compact it down slightly with your knuckles or fingers so that the crumbs of the bread will be tight. If using baking sheet, press down on mixture with palm of your hand and then spread and shape to form a round disc 4 inches wide and slightly more than 1/2 inch high. Compact down the cauliflower mix gently with your fingers or knuckles so that the crumbs of the cauliflower buns will be tight. Sprinkle tops of bread buns with sesame seeds.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until tops are golden and cauliflower breads are completely cooked. Use a thin spatula to gently loosen the bottoms of the cauliflower breads (I recommend using a good silicone cookie spatula which usually has a very thin edge that glides easily underneath.) Allow breads to cool slightly before eating.  Borrowed recipe from Kirbie's Cravings.
