Vanilla-banana-ricotta pudding



I wanted to prepare pudding the healthier way so: I added ricotta cheese which is smooth and tastes gente, so you dont even notice it. Ricotta adds important proteins into the pudding. And I also used mashed banana to sweet the pudding. This time I tried to cut the sugar in half, so I used only 2 tblsp instead of recommended 4. Thanks to banana puding was still pretty sweet so I will skip the sugar for the next time entirely. 

Ingredients:

1 package of vanilla pudding powder
1/2 l milk
2 tblsp brown sugar
vanilla essence
1 banana
250g ricotta cheese

Directions:

1. Prepare pudding according the instructions on the package - stir pudding powder with brown sugar in 1/3 of milk. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla essence into the rest of the milk and let it boil. Add milk with pudding powder and cook the pudding.
2.  Let it cool and meanwhile mash the banana and mix it with ricotta cheese. Add the whole mass into the pudding and stir well. 
3. Serve in the pudding cups, decorate with chopped banana and enjoy!

McDonald style strawberry fitness cheesecake


When creating this recipe I was inspired by McDonald´s strawberry cheesecake which is a really good one. I was wondering how to create that specific "Mcstyle" taste while making it fitness. So I decided to use ricotta cheese which is sweeter and I also used powder milk. Therefore just a little bit of sugar is needed. I think it went pretty well but you can add some more brown sugar if you like. That was the first trial and I already know how I will improve the recipe for the next time. So look forward to Mcstyle fitness cheesecake number II, soon :-)
But for now:

Ingredients:

Crust:
15 tblsp granola muesli
2 tblsp melted butter
1 tblsp brown sugar
Filling:
1 kg ricotta cheese
10 tblsp milk powder
20g vanilla sugar or brown sugar
1 tblsp vanilla extract
1 packaging jello (20g) 
Strawberry layer:
300g  frozen strawberries
2 tblsp brown sugar
1 packaging jello (20g) 

Directions:

1. Preheat the owen to 180°C. Mix muesli in the blender until finely ground and put it into the bowl. Add 1 tblsp brown sugar, melted butter and 1 tblsp ricotta cheese. Mix together well and put it on the bottom of springform pan. Use your fingers to press the batter and make a nice crusty layer. Put into the owen and bake for 10 minutes. When the crust is done take it out and let it cool.
2. Make the filling: In the large bowl add ricotta cheese, milk powder, sugar and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until smooth. Prepare the gelatine acoording to instructions on the packaging and add it to ricotta mass. Pour the batter onto the muesli crust. 
3. Make the strawberry layer: Cut defrosted strawberries in halfs and add 2 tblsp brown sugar. Prepare the jello according the instructions on the packaging. Put the strawberries on the top of ricotta layer with all the juice they released when sugared. Pour the jello on the strawberries to make jello layer. Put the cheesecake into the fridge and let it set for 3-4 hours. I had 8 servings.

1 serving contain: 12g fat, 23g protein and 25g carbs.

Eat SWEET stay FIT !


Weight loss principles or how to get slimmer with fitness desserts


Men think all women just want a great man. Not true! Every woman wishes to eat everything she wants without getting fat!

Now, if you agree, this will be your favourite blog. You will find here a lot of delicious recipes that will not make you fat. I would like to tell you, how you can enjoy all those delightful desserts without getting fat or even loose pounds.

The main principles of weight loss:
    1.      Protein + carbs + fats
    2.      The glycemic index
    3.      Vitamins and minerals
    4.      Hormones leptin and insulin
    5.      Fatburning food

So let's get a closer look:

    1.      Protein + carbs + fats

You need to eat all of them in the right amount and combination. So don't  try things like: I don't eat any carbs or I won't eat any fats from tomorrow...that's just not the way. Your body has to be able to do it's work properly. That means your organs and hormones have everything they need.  Recommended amout of nutrients needed for fat burning for women: 1,5 gram of protein, 3 grams of carbs and 1 gram of fat calculated for one kilogram of your bodyweight. Proteins will protect your muscles, appropriate carbs will give you energy and good fats will burn your bodyfat.

    2.      The glycemic index

The glycemic index refers how will consumed food influence you blood sugar. After you eat something, your blood sugar level will increase. Then insulin must be produced to regulate surplus of sugar in blood and it store that sugar into fat cells. Is that sipmle – insulin tells your body to store fat. Foods with high glycemic index stimulate your blood sugar most. That' why it's important to eat food with low glycemic index, which keeps your blood sugar steady and provide continuous fat burning all day long. Glycemix index can be decreased by the right combination of carbs, fat, protein and fiber. That is the main principle of our recipes.

    3.      Vitamins and minerals

It may not look so, but lot of fat people are actually under nourished. It happens despite they eat a lot food, because that food contain little to no vitamins a minerals. Without them your body cannot work properly or even burn any fat, becasuse it's hungry for vitamins and it just stores everything you eat.

    4.      Hormones leptin and insulin

You know how insulin works. If you eat lot of sugary foods your body produces more and more insulin again and again. High insulin levels cause that another hormone – leptin, cannot work properly. Leptin is produced by your fat cells and it tells you if you are hungry or not. So if it cannot work the right way, you feel like you are always hungry, even right after you ate something. That is why it is so important to keep your blood level steady by eating the right food with low glycemic index.

    5.      Fatburning food


Lot of studies have shown that some foods are able to positively support fatburning. For us, important information is that resistent starches have that power – those are starches in oats and another  wholegrains. Another important ingredient used in our desserts are good fats like coconut oil, nuts or CLA in whole milk products. They also have a great power to burn bodyfat.
