Greek Yogurt and Blueberry Loaf

greek-yogurt-and-blueberry-loaf

We are so obsessed with this greek yogurt and blueberry loaf.

We love it for breakfast, we love it for snack, we love it for dessert. Is just love at first bite.

The blueberries bring sweetness, softness and a burst in your mouth when you take a bite. The greek yogurt brings a major moistness, and we cannot get over how delicious and refreshing it is with the zest of lemon.

The best part is that there is no waiting for the bread to rise, or spending time kneading it or rolling it out. It is a two bowl process and then heads straight to the oven.

It’s so addictive. You should probably go ahead and make two loaves.

No-Bake Puffed Millet and Chocolate Bars

puffed-millet-and-chocolate-bars

If you’re looking for satisfying, crunchy, sweet treats, these puffed millet bars will become your new favorite.

They’re really simple and quick to make and require no baking.

You can have them to fuel up before or after a workout, or simply as a mid-morning snack.

We like using puffed millet as the crispy base because of how incredibly nutritious it is– millet is a gluten-free grain containing a high amount of protein, iron, calcium, lysine, magnesium, fiber, and more.

These crispy treats are totally rich, indulgent, and chocolatey– and you’ll truly be treating yourself as you eat yourself healthy.

These treats last really well in the fridge, so make a big batch! [But we’re sure they won’t last long 😉 ]

Easy Beetroot Hummus Dip

easy-beetroot-hummus-dip

If you like beets, and you like hummus, you’ll love this beet hummus. The ingredients are chickpeas, beets, greek yogurt, garlic, lemon, and salt and pepper.

Red vegetables are an excellent source of antioxidants and great for liver function. This beetroot hummus is a beautiful, earthy version of the traditional chickpea variety. You can also experiment with adding fresh herbs such as tarragon or dill.

We love using greek yogurt for hummus because it gives it a creamier consistency.

You can use it as a pretty topping for cucumber rounds, scoop some up with pita triangles or celery ribs, or just dive in with a spoon, and eat it up before anyone knows what they’re missing!

Don’t you love smoothie bowls?

We surely do! Not only when the heat wave attacks, but always… Even during the colder seasons.

This one includes all you need to start the day with 101% energy.

Fruit (carbs) + greek yogurt (protein, good fats) = perfect mix and you get all the macros!

We topped it with everything we could find in the fridge: mini kiwis, rapsberries and blueberries… plus some cute yogurt drops.

Btw, don’t you love mini kiwis too? They’re so tiny and easy to eat! Same flavour as regular kiwis but no need to peel!

Now that you know this smoothie bowl recipe, you need to try it ASAP, and if you do, let us know your thoughts!
