Ballaststoffreiches Frühstück Müsli mit Flohsamen

24. Februar 2019 Ein Kommentar

Oft essen wir einfach viel zu viele Kohlenhydrate und vergessen dabei total auf die wichtigen Ballaststoffe, welche so gut für unsere Verdauung sind. Deshalb möchte ich euch in meinem heutigen Blog Post ein einfaches Flohsamen Rezept für ein ballaststoffreiches Frühstück zeigen!

Die Bedeutung von Ballaststoffen im Körper

Ganz zu Beginn sollten wir uns Ballaststoffe einmal genauer ansehen, denn sie haben eine ganz besondere Funktion in unserem Körper.
Das interessante an Ballaststoffe ist, dass sie für den Körper unverdaulich sind. Das heißt wenn ihr euch die Nährwert Tabelle von Produkten anseht könnt ihr eigentlich die Ballaststoffe von den angegebenen Kohlenhydraten abziehen um auf die verdauliche Menge an Kohlenhydraten zu kommen. Dies wird oft extra bei Proteinriegeln ausgeschildert.

Da Ballaststoffe also nicht verdaut werden liefern sie dem Körper somit auch keine Energie und brauchen nicht mitgezählt werden.
Für eine ausgewogene Ernährung sind sie aber trotzdem sehr wichtig weil Ballaststoffe dabei helfen, die Verdauung zu regulieren und eine positive Wirkung auf den Stoffwechsel ausüben. Ich verwende ballaststoffreiche Nahrungsmitteln sehr gerne in meinen Rezepten da sie immer für ein super Sättigungsgefühl sorgen. Der Tagesbedarf von Ballaststoffen liegt bei mindestens 30g. (Quelle)

Die Zutaten des Frühstücks

Ballaststoffreiche Rezepte verwenden meistens Flohsamenschalen , da sie eine hervorragende Ballaststoffquelle sind und für eine geregelte Verdauung sorgen. Die Leinsamen haben hochwertige Omega 3 Fettsäuren und verfügen auch über viele Ballaststoffe, welche helfen sollen die Verdauung zu reinigen. Chiasamen sind eine gute Proteinquelle und enthalten ungesättigte Fettsäuren.

Zum Süßen habe ich bei diesem Rezept Honig verwendet. Sollte euch dieser aber zu viele Kalorien haben könnt ihr in auch durch Xylit oder Erythrit ersetzen. Ich mag bei diesem Flohsamen Rezept aber einfach den typischen Honiggeschmack da er so super gut mit dem griechischen Joghurt harmoniert!

Zum Toppen verwende ich immer frisches Granola, Mandelbutter und Früchte. Diese süßlich/säuerliche Mischung macht das Frühstück für mich ganz besonders lecker. Im Moment mache ich es mir fast täglich und habe es auch schon nur mit Leinsamen oder nur mit dem Chiasamen ausprobiert.
Die Früchte koche ich meistens kurz mit etwas Wasser auf. Ihr könnt aber natürlich auch frische Früchte unter das ballaststoffreiche Frühstück mischen.

Vegan bagels with cranberries by Lenny

18. Februar 2019 Keine Kommentare

Welcome to this special guest blog post! Today I would like to introduce one of my super talented foodie friends. Her name is Lenny, she is 17 years old and currently lives in the US. She is a passionate vegan and tries to inspire her followers with amazing plant-based food creations. She will tell you a bit about herself and share a delicious recipe with you in the end!

Lenny and I have been supporting each other on Instagram for a while now and I love seeing her colorful dishes and yummy bowls everyday on my feed. I am impressed by the quality of photos, the creativity of each dish and the love for detail in each shot. You should totally check out her Instagram @vegamelon. She also has a lovely blog which she keeps updating with new recipes. You will find a wide range from mains, to breakfast, dessert and snack recipes. Best you have a look yourself at www.vegamelon.com.

I love that Lenny’s plant-based recipes are full of flavor, nourishment, and happiness. The fact that she keeps her recipes quick and easy to make goes hand in hand with my cooking philosophy. Also, we are both fruit addicts. Her favorite fruit is the watermelon and mine is the strawberry. So we are basically fruit sisters 😉

In today’s blog post she will be taking over and share one of her favorite dishes with you – vegan bagels with cranberries! So lets hand it over to Lenny:

Meet Lenny – a math & watermelon enthusiast

Hi, I’m Lenny! As you may have already read, I am a passionate ‘teen chef’ who loves to share her plant-based creations! I started my Instagram blog in January 2017, when I was still in grade 10. I didn’t post much in the beginning, but I truly began working on this platform in the summer, starting to share my recipes with the community. Along with my cooking adventures, I also embarked on a journey of food photography, learning how to capture my dishes in an eye-catching way. It’s been two years since my very first post, and I can hardly believe how much my skills have grown!

My recipes are generally healthy and easy! I believe that vegan food can taste amazing; it is affordable and approachable. I hope to inspire thousands (and perhaps millions) to eat more plant-based food because it is also much more sustainable for the environment than foods with meat and dairy.

Other than running this Instagram page, I find joy in reading, running, and studying math! I hope to major in mathematics in university and to teach college-level math in my future (of course, all while doing the things I love)! Although, I don’t share much about my personal life on social media, I hope to incorporate more of that this year and inspire you the way Carina does, hehe.

Now, here is my recipe for some delicious seeded vegan bagels with cranberries! These are absolutely customizable and, in my opinion, are superior to store-bought ones. I mean, commercial bagels are delicious and all, but they sometimes have all kinds of weird ingredients/preservatives that might not be so good for your body. These bagels only require 5-7 pantry ingredients, and they’ll be ready to serve in a couple of hours! Just imagine biting into a warm, fluffy bagel right out of the oven.

Vegan bagels with cranberries

Ingredients:

dough

-2 cups (240g) bread flour
-1 tsp (3g) instant yeast
-1/2 tsp (3g) fine sea salt
-1 tbsp (12g) granulated sugar
-1/2 cup + 2 tbsp (150mL) warm water

mix-ins

-¼ cup (40g) mixed seeds of choice
-½ cup (80g) cranberries, or dried fruit of choice

for boiling

-1 tbsp (12g) baking soda
-water

Directions for my yummy vegan bagels:

Mix the dough ingredients in a large bowl.
Once the mixture starts to form, transfer to a flat surface and knead into a smooth dough; about 15 mins by hand.
Shape into a ball and let the dough rise in a covered bowl for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough, then mix in the dried fruit and seeds. Divide into 6 equal pieces and form into balls.
Create a hole in the center of each piece using your thumb, then stretch into a ring with your fingers gradually rotating outward from the center.
Place under a damp towel and let the dough rise again, for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400°F and fill a wide pot with water. Bring to a boil, then add in 1 tbsp baking soda. Alternatively, use 1 tbsp maple syrup (or other liquid sweetener).
Drop in 2-3 bagels and boil on medium heat for 60 seconds on each side. Dry the dough and place onto a greased baking tray.
Repeat for the remaining pieces of dough, then sprinkle on more seeds and bake for 13-15 minutes (until golden brown). Enjoy warm.

I hope you try out these vegan bagels some time! They’re so fun to create and will fill your stomach with happiness. And, for more recipes, feel free to visit my Instagram page or my website. Have a lovely week, friends!

Thanks Lenny for sharing this wonderful recipe with my readers. Well, I hope you guys enjoyed meeting one of my awesome foodie friends and will check Lenny’s social channels out. If you are interested in meeting more of my talented food blogging friends you can read the guest blog post from Zoe and from Rita as well who already shared amazing dishes on my blog.

Food Blogging, Inspiration

Blogging while traveling – a how to guide

12. Februar 2019 3 Kommentare

Over the last half a year I have been all around the world, food blogging while traveling at the same time. I love how my job as a food blogger gives me so much freedom and flexibility and combining my two biggest passions: the love for healthy food and my excitement for seeing new countries makes me feel like I created my own dream job. In this blog post I would love to show you and explain how you can travel and still keep up the quality of your food pics along the way.

My story of blogging while traveling

I became a self-employed food blogger in February 2018 and couldn’t be happier ever since. Turning your hobby into your profession is something extremely special and I am grateful every single day to be able to do this kind of work. Since I am very flexible with my working hours and do mostly everything online I decided last year to travel the world while still working and creating content like I would in Austria. I figured it shouldn’t really matter if I sit at home in Austria or work from a beach in Panama. Simpler thought as done – this I can tell you already. Obviously there are quite some challenges when you want to travel and still produce the same quality results for your clients as you would at home in your familiar surroundings. In this blog post I would like to share some important food blogging travel tips.

In the fall of 2018 I planned my first big international working trip. I set out together with my boyfriend to travel through Costa Rica, Panama and Mexico, both working full time. For our first trip we were gone for almost three months. After that we came back home for Christmas and left again for our trip to Asia, visiting Taiwan and the Philippines. The second time we were gone for one month, creating content and doing company promotions just like I would have at home. By now I would say I have gotten pretty good at knowing what things are essential when blogging while traveling and would love to share these insights with you in this blog post.

Challenges you will face

On your trips there are quite some challenges you will face at some point. Especially when you travel to developing countries like I did. The infrastructure simply isn’t the same as you would find it in Europe, America or Australia. You simply can’t expect to find internet everywhere, good lighting or a quality working place. Here are some challenges I ran into on my trips:

Time difference
Shipping difficulties of products
Non availability of certain ingredients
Poor internet connection
Terrible lightning situations
Broken props (plates, bowls) due to rough airport handling

Food blogging travel tips

Here are my major tips for food blogging while traveling that will help you to smoothly create content on your trips without frustrations. Please note that some of the links below are affiliate links and at no additional cost to you, I may earn a commission. Know that I only recommend products, tools, services and learning resources I’ve personally used and believe are genuinely helpful. This is not because of the small commissions I make if you decide to purchase them. Most of all, I would never advocate for buying something that you can’t afford or that you’re not yet ready to implement. The products are simply the ones I use when blogging while traveling and where I thought you might find the direct Amazon link helpful as well

Use waiting time: Especially in countries with polychronic tendencies, meaning they don’t really value the concept of punctuality you will run into a lot of unnecessary waiting time. There will be a lot of time lost waiting for planes, buses or being stuck in traffic. Especially in the Philippines I had to learn the hard way to use my waiting time wisely for work projects. Literally every plane, bus or taxi was delayed and it always took us twice the time than expected. That is why I recommend you always save some work you can do offline. For me that was usually editing my pictures, planing my gallery or like right now – just sitting on a flight to Coron island right now actually – writing a blog post. This way you will use otherwise dead time super efficiently and will have more time for yourself once you arrive at your destination.

Always have your charging devices with you: This is a mistake I kept making for a long time. I would charge my laptop and phone thinking it would last for our traveling days. Each time we had another airport delay or spent another hour in traffic I ran out of battery not being able to charge my devices. Blogging while traveling means keeping your batteries charged! I would also recommend buying a strong power bank so you always have a charging opportunity. This is the one from Anker that I have and can greatly recommend. Another tip I can give you regarding managing your device compatibility is buying an charge-all-in-one device. Like this you only need to bring one cable and can charge all your devices. This is the one from VONMÄHLEN that I use and can recommend.
Schedule in enough working time: When blogging while traveling make sure to schedule in dedicated working time every day. I was better with this on my Central America trip than now on my Asia trip. I simply had too many things planned changing location almost everyday leaving very little time to work. In Panama and Costa Rica I defined a pretty fixed working schedule for me. Work from 6am-12am then time for beach or activities until 6pm and back to work from 6pm-8pm. Since the sun set at 5pm I really wanted some daytime to enjoy and scheduled in that long lunch break. Now in the Philippines I tried to travel more, see more places and I really noticed how much it reduced my quality working time. Now on this trip I did the bare minimum. So my take-away is definitely to schedule in definite working days where you have no trips or excursions planned or like I did in Central America go to one location for longer (at least 7 days) work from Monday to Friday with a fixed schedule and do day trips on the weekends.

Thoroughly screen your accommodation:
- Kitchen: This will be one of the most important things to consider before leaving for your trip. When you work and travel at the same time you simply won’t be as flexible as the average backpacker booking the accommodation one night before and rearranging the entire trip from one day to the next. When food blogging while traveling you must consider a couple of things: you need a kitchen, good lightning and at least a supermarket close by. From experience I can tell you that hotels are generally a really bad idea because it is quite impossible to prepare your own dishes. I recommend booking an Airbnb with a full kitchen. Inquire about the kitchen appliances. Do you need a baking dish and a stove? What about a blender?
- Lightning: Besides the kitchen inspect the lightning situation on the photos of the Airbnb listing. Is there enough natural light coming into the apartment? I have gotten quite creative here, also shot outside in front of the door because sometimes the actual accommodation ends up looking different than you imagined on the photos.
- Internet: Last but not least, make sure the apartment has a good internet connection. I always ask them for a speed test. I can recommend this one by Ookla showing you the exact download and upload speeds. The results of the upload speed should be somewhere around 3mb and the for the download around 2mb. Having good internet is really the most vital thing for a productive work day. Especially when traveling to developing countries the connection can be unstable. We had internet blackouts because of Typhoons, earthquakes and over-usage already. So make sure you always have a back up plan like a close by Café with Wifi. I think this point is the most crucial one when blogging while traveling. One time I was stuck on an island without internet for 8 days and wasn’t able to do anything which created quite some problems for me. So make sure you always check the internet situation before you go somewhere!

Find a co-working space: When we stayed in big cities we were usually looking for co-working spaces. This is a great way to get out of the apartment and mingle with other like minded people. Internet is usually fantastic there and it’s great to switch up the work atmosphere. Co-working spaces provide you with great infrastructure and are designed to give you the best working experience possible. I always found myself super focused there and having the most productive work days.

Be aware of time difference when blogging while traveling: My tip is to write emails at least one day earlier than you would have done at home. Since you won’t have the entire day to monitor your inbox the email conversation will just take longer than it usually would if you were in the same time zone. Try to work at least 2-3 hours overlapping your home country’s time zone or the time zone where most of your clients are. When I was in Costa Rica and had an 8 hour time difference I was always working from 6am-9am so I would still reach them in Austria for their last 2-3 working hours of the day. In the Philippines I was mostly working at night time because of the 7 hour time difference in the other direction. I was usually working from 5pm-8pm to reach the Europeans in their first working hours of the morning.
Plan your gallery/blog posts ahead: This is something that has help me tremendously on my trips. When I know I have a big trip coming up I usually already take a lot of photos before. So when I leave I have a buffer of about 10-15 recipe photos that I can post without having to produce anything in between. I also already pre-take all the photos for my long term cooperations. So in case I won’t have good photo opportunities on my trips I can at least go back to these photos I took beforehand. Like this it is also much less stressful because you already know you have got your „posting to-dos“ covered for the trip. I schedule my posts with an app called UNUM, which I can highly recommend you to use as well to plan your IG gallery ahead.
Preorder products for promotion: When I know a long trip is coming up I give my cooperation partners a heads up and get the products I need to promote during my time abroad shipped to me in advance. I made the experience that companies don’t want to ship overseas because it is simply too expensive for them. That is why my suitcase is usually pretty full when I travel. I would say 1/3 of the space is taken simply by the products I need for my cooperations. Plan ahead of what you are going to promote on the trip and then just bring the essential things for those posts or IG hauls.

Get a local SIM card: Blogging while traveling means you will probably need internet on the go. If you want to make your life a lot easier I recommend getting a local SIM card. You usually already find little SIM card stands at the airport and the prepaid plans are really affordable connecting you to the internet without a problem. This can also be super useful if you need taxi services like Uber or Grab. I however decided against a local SIM card because I consciously wanted to force myself to some internet free time when away from the hotel or restaurant.
Bring the right props: Being gone from your save home set-up can be quite challenging. At home its quite easy to get a good photo because if you are like me you will probably have various plates, kitchen towels, decoration items and other fancy props to choose from. On your trip however you can only bring the essentials. This is what I brought with me on my trip: 3 of my best plates (neutral but unique), 1 white background fabric I could always use for a nice blurred out background, my favorite little spoons, a golden knife and fork, my mini cookie cutters for decoration and one coconut bowl. Like this I could create a wide array of different settings. It might also be a good idea to ask the Airbnb host about the color of plates and silverware. Another insider tip is to buy plastic backdrop paper. In Austria I usually use wooden backdrops which are bulky and quite heavy. Before my trips I bought this marble backdrop paper that I can simply roll up and is super light!
Bring the right equipment: When you are gone for a longer period of time you surely still want to keep producing amazing content but simply can’t take all your inventory with you. Photo equipment can get really heavy and your suitcase is usually limited to 23kg per flight. This is what I had with me: A super light travel tripod, my reflector, my favorite 35mm 1.8 lens together with my Nikon D7500. Since I travelled together with my boyfriend it was a bit easier to bring more equipment because he also had some suitcase space. Therefore, we brought also the drone and the gimbal.

Blogging while traveling and still keeping up the quality of your content can be a challenge at first, but also presents amazing new opportunities for different content and unexpected shooting possibilities. I hope this blog post was helpful. If you have any unanswered questions feel free to put them in the comments. I will make sure to answer them all. You can also always reach out to me on Instagram.

Dessert, Low Carb

Low Carb Kuchen Rezept – gesunder Apfelkuchen

22. Januar 2019 3 Kommentare

Wir alle lieben doch süße Desserts und Kuchen. Ich persönlich bin eine totale Naschkatze und wünsche mir immer die leckeren Nachspeisen wären nicht immer so kalorienreich. Aus diesem Grund setze ich immer alles daran ungesunde Desserts in Fitness Food zu verwandeln. So auch bei diesem low carb Kuchen Rezept. Ihr dürft gespannt sein 🙂

Low Carb Kuchen

Anfang Jänner arbeitete ich daran ein low carb Apfelkuchen Rezept zu entwickeln welches reich an Protein ist, kohlenhydratarm, kalorienreduziert und aber trotzdem noch super lecker schmeckt. Ganze 5 Versuche brauchte ich um dieses Rezept zu perfektionieren um es nun mit euch teilen zu können.

Ich persönlich ernähre mich wahnsinnig gerne low carb weil es mir einfach hilft so mein Gewicht ohne Probleme zu halten. Meiner Meinung nach ist eine low carb Ernährung auch zum Abnehmen bestens geeignet. Durch den teilweisen Verzicht von Kohlenhydraten und die erhöhte Aufnahme an fett- und eiweißreichen Lebensmitteln soll erreicht werden, dass der Körper seine Energie überwiegend aus Fetten und Eiweiß gewinnt, anstatt von Kohlenhydraten.

Die Rezeptentwicklung

Zuerst wollte ich natürlich den Zucker weglassen. Hier habe ich dann Dattelsirup als das perfekte Süßungsmittel gefunden. Es hat besser funktioniert als Xylit oder Erythrit da es dem Teig zusätzlich noch eine cremige Konsistenz gibt.
Für Butter oder Öl musste natürlich auch eine andere Zutat finden. Hier habe ich dann fest Coconut Cream, also das weiße cremige bei der Kokosmilch verwendet. Dies hat weniger Kalorien und Fett wie Kokosöl, macht den Kuchen aber trotzdem saftig. Danach kam das Mehl dran für welche ich gesündere Alternativen suchte. Zuerst versuchte ich es mit Kokosmehl – zu trocken. Dann mit Chiamehl – hier passte die Konsistenz dann gar nicht. Schlussendlich habe ich eine super Kombination aus Mandelmehl und geriebenen Walnüssen. Ganz zum Schluss kommt dann natürlich immer meine Lieblingszutat das Proteinpulver in den Teig um die Nährwerte nochmals aufzubessern.

Für den Belag wollte ich auch so wenig Zutaten wie möglich verwenden. Früchte eigneten sich hier am allerbesten. Da Äpfel von Natur aus schon sehr viel Fruchtzucker enthalten muss nicht mehr zusätzlich süßen.

Ihr wisst wie gerne ich einfache Rezepte mag. Der Apfelkuchen ist wieder ein super Beispiel. Im Prinzip müsst ihr einfach nur alle Zutaten zusammen mischen. Der Belag ist auch ganz easy zu machen wie ihr gleich in der Beschreibung sehen werdet.

Ein Hingucker

Das tolle bei diesem Kuchen ist der wunderschöne Roseneffekt den ihr mit den Apfelstücken ganz einfach hinbekommt. Auf diese weise könnt ihr eure Gäste gleich doppelt beeindrucken. Einmal mit einem gesunden Kuchen und einmal mit der tollen Dekoration.
Ich empfehle euch richtig schön rote Äpfel für dieses Rezept zu verwenden um noch einen tolleren Effekt am Ende zu erzielen. Kleiner Tipp: Ihr könnt beim nächsten mal die Äpfel auch durch Birnen oder Pflaumen ersetzen für ein etwas anderes Geschmackserlebnis.

Das Rezept

Hier nun das Rezept für meinen leckeren low carb Kuchen mit Äpfeln:

Zutaten:

Teig:
2 EL Dattelsirup
80ml Milch
2 EL Kokosmilch
1 EL geriebene Walnüsse|
3 EL Mandelmehl
2 EL Proteinpulver
1/4 TL Backpulver

Belag:
1 ganzer Apfel
Zimt

Zubereitung:

In einer Schüssel zuerst alle trockenen Zutaten zusammen mischen. In einer zweiten Schüssel alle flüssigen Zutaten vermengen. Dann die trockenen langsam unter die flüßigen Zutaten mischen. Die Masse in eine kleine runde Silikon Backform füllen. (Für einen großen Kuchen die doppelte Menge machen.) Den Kuchen bei 180 Grad 30 Minuten backen. In der Zwischenzeit die Äpfel in dünne Scheiben schneiden. In einem Topf mit etwas Wasser und Zimt vorsichtig dünsten. Sobald der Kuchen fertig ist kann man die einzelnen Scheiben mit der Schale nach außen kreisrund am Kuchen auflegen. So bekommt man einen wunderschönen Roseneffekt.

ch hoffe euch hat dieses low carb Kuchen Rezept gefallen und ihr probiert es selbst mal aus. Schaut doch auch noch bei meinem Protein Cheesecake Rezept vorbei. Das könnte euch bestimmt auch gefallen.

Best healthy food in Taipei – vegan cafés included!

20. Januar 2019 8 Kommentare

As I am writing this blog post about healthy food in Taipei I am sitting in this cute little plant-based vegan cafe snacking on a whole wheat cashew cheese sandwich and enjoying an unsweetened vegan chia tea. At first you might not expect to find healthy places in Taipei, but I am here to show you that the city offers some great choices for conscious eaters. Also, scroll all the way down if you want to find the best Mochi in Taipei!

Healthy food in Taipei

I have spent a week testing different restaurants and cafés in Taipei and want to summarize my best healthy food experiences in this blog post. Healthy food in Taipei is something quite „new“ apparently. I have talked to the owners of several restaurants who all were mainly expats coming back to Taiwan to bring plant-based food and healthy choices from their oversea adventures to the city of Taipei.

I was told Taiwanese people are not so interested in eating healthy yet as their local food is mainly fried and very calorie rich, but the trend is slowly taking off here as well. The owner of one restaurant even told me that they were the first ones to introduce kale to Taiwan. So the whole concept of plant-based food and clean eating is quite new here. Which makes it super interesting to find the hidden gems of fitness food in the city.

In this blog post I want to share the best healthy food in Taipei with you, introducing 4 of my favorite cafés and also giving away some additional food recommendations in the end.

First off, what I loved about all of them was that each of these places had super fast wifi available. If I have had more time in Taipei I would have totally gone to them for some morning work sessions with my laptop 🙂

The tamed fox

Besides the delicious food I had at the tamed fox my highlight was their super cute little poodle dog Rae. He is so tame and instantly jumps on your lap to sit with you during breakfast. Definitely one of the sweetest little dogs I have ever seen and it made my visit to the tamed fox so memorable! This restaurant is situated within a short walk from the red line metro stop Xyni Anhe. The interior is very minimalist and stylish.

What impressed me was that they are making their own fresh granola right there in front of you in the kitchen, filling the restaurant with a delicious sweet smell. There is also a small shop in the café where you can buy beautiful mugs, portable cups and other fun things. The owner herself is super nice and we talked to her for a while. She has lived in Chicago and Los Angeles for quite some time and speaks perfect English.

Regarding the food we ordered several awesome dishes. Avocado toast with edamame hummus, an Açai chia pudding smoothie bowl and the banana bread french toast. Everything is made fresh right there on the spot with a lot of love and details. Each dish looks absolutely beautiful and is decorated in real food blogging fashion.

Taking a closer look at the menu I was able to find some very unique hot drinks like the black sesame actived characoal latte, the sun moon lake milk tea, the spice girl (turmeric, cayenne, pineapple, lemon juice) and they even had my new favorite drink golden milk. It also seems like a great spot to try typical Taiwanese oolong tea. For mains they have everything from Shashuka to a smoked salmon plate and chicken bowls.

If you are looking for a good Açai smoothie bowl in Taipei this is the place to find it. I like that they enhanced the recipe with a greek yoghurt chia pudding on one side and topped it with their own homemade granola. There were so many yummy dishes on the menu I had a hard time choosing. Really recommend this place for a good breakfast experience in Taipei!

The Antipodeon

Regarding the atmosphere of the restaurant the Antipodeon definitely takes one of the first places on my list of healthy food in Taipei. I just loved the interior design. I was also lucky enough to still see their super creative Christmas decoration which was an upside down Christmas tree hanging from the ceiling. Everything is very stylish and modern.
This place is definitely best for breakfast. They have a huge selection of amazing platters and good morning food choices. Most of it is healthy, but I also spotted some cheat day options – like the cinnamon roll we couldn’t resist to order.

We got the queens platter featuring smoked salmon, grilled halloumi cheese, roasted cherry tomatoes, eggs, ham, avocado, beans and one sweet yoghurt and muesli parfait. We also ordered their signature Açai bowl which was topped with so many delicious things. Best smoothie bowl I had in the city by the way. They have some yummy porridge for those oats lovers and I even found Austrian Bircher Müsli on the menu! And if you are one of those avocado addicts than this is your place. The Antipodeon has everything from avocado baked egg to smoked salmon avocado toast and even an avocado breakfast platter.

I was not surprised to find out that the owner is an expat from Brisbane, Australia, who let his inspirations flow into the dishes making them so unique. The restaurant also has a little patio, which makes it perfect to sit outside on a sunny day. It is really a lovely café and I would highly recommend you to go and check it out.

Café by Juicy Diary

This very special fitness place has to be included in my list of healthy food in Taipei. Already when I entered the restaurant I was excited about the super fancy look of it. Expect more of a restaurant flair than a normal café one. The tables are set with beautiful silverware, flowers on each table and stylish lights. Juicy diary used to sell fresh pressed juice and then since the demand was so high also opened a Café a couple of years ago. I find it the perfect healthy lunch or dinner spot.

I think we were looking at the shiny menu for half an hour before we could decide what to order. So many healthy options! We finally got the chicken chipotle bowl, avocado toast and a chia pudding as a dessert. Since this Café by Juicy Diary is popular for its juices we also tried all of them. My favorite was the citrus one (I think that was actually the name of it) and my boyfriend really liked the red juice.

I am glad we actually shared the bowl because it was quite a big portion. The avocado toast was incredible and to my surprise I liked the chia pudding out of everything I ate there the best. It was a mixture of different aromas with a subtle sweetness was fascinating. The owner also recommend us to eat the special filled brioche, but we simply did not have any more space in our stomachs. Like this we also were not able to eat the delicious carrot cake for a second dessert as we initially intended to.

We also got a chance to chat with the owner of the place who told us that she has lived in San Francisco for a really long time and that she brought healthy food back to Taiwan. She actually introduced Kale to Taipei when she first got started with Juicy Diary. How awesome is that?! Also, I would love to point out the amazing waiters that were on top of their game!

Ooh Cha Cha – Plant-based café

This vegan café is situated within a short walking distance to the Gutding metro station and is also very close to the center of Taipei. I am actually here right now as I am writing this blog post looking at my B.L.M.T sandwich filled with tempeh bacon, lettuce, cashew mozzarella, tomato and cashew sour cream. It is the first time I get to try vegan cheese and I love it. This cafe is quite different than the other places mentioned earlier as it only serves vegan food. The menu selection ranges from salad bowls to sandwiches, rolls and burgers.

Everything is vegan and they are making everything fresh in front of you. The café also have great smoothie choices, but I consider Ooh Cha Cha more of a lunch place than a breakfast venue. The Chia Masala I ordered is totally homemade and tastes much less sweet than I am used to! Definitely a good thing if you are trying to save calories. Ohh Cha Cha is definitely on top of my list for healthy food in Taipei!

Main take-aways

All food places mentioned above serve really healthy food. So they are the perfect option if you are looking to eat clean, vegan or gluten free in Taipei. They are however not the perfect option if you are looking for a very traditional taiwanese experience. As mentioned above in the first paragraph the local food is not so healthy and therefore these restaurants are heavily inspired by Western healthy food vibes. One exception is the drink menu, all of them serve very traditional matcha latte and Oolong tea. They are all beautiful in their own way, have good wifi and unique food choices I am sure you will enjoy if you want to eat healthy in Taipei. Regarding prices they are all a bit more expensive than local places, but definitely affordable.

Best Mochi in Taipei – Additional recommendations

During my week in Taipei I went to many different food markets, local restaurants and also the healthy places mentioned above. I quickly want to give you some extra tips of what you should not be missing out on when you are in Taipei, even though these options are not very healthy but suuuuper delicious.

Mochi – I Jy Sheng: they literally call themselves the best bakery in Taipei and I would sign that statement in an instant. Imagine a french macarons bakery but for chinese mochi! It is so incredible. They have this fresh hand made mochi in different flavors. I Jy Sheng is located on the first floor of the Taipei train station and so worth a visit. It is the best mochi in Taipei and I recommend you get the peanut butter Mochi. It is by far the best mochi I have had in Taiwan!
Soup Dumplings- Xiao Long Bao: When you go to Taiwan it is a must to try the traditional soup dumplings. These are chinese dumplings filled with soup. You need to put the bao on a spoon and poke a hole into it to make the soup come out. Xiao Long Bao is a chain and has several locations around town and the best choice if you are looking for soup dumplings
Dim Sum- Din Tai Fung: This chain is so popular we actually had to wait one hour to get a table. So many locals were eating there which is always a good sign when going out to eat in a different country. They also have two kinds of soup dumplings if you only can make it to one restaurant then go to this because you will get both of the dumpling experiences there 🙂
Street market food: Shillin night market: For local street food we went to one of the biggest night market where 600 vendors sell yummy traditional food. Some things we tried: Sticky rice on a stick, fried quail eggs, filled dumplings, chinese pancakes, fried mochi, pineapple cake and much more.

Extra tip – best tea house view of Taipei

Moreover, I had to include this tea house tip we went to. I mean if you are looking for healthy food in Taipei tea definitely counts! The view you have there while sipping your traditional Oolong tea is simply breath-taking! To get to this special tea house you actually need to make a half-day trip to Maokong station. Take the gondola from Taipei Zoo to the last stop which is Maokong station. Then walk out of the station and take a right, passing the bus stop and you will see the tea house. It is called Sih Ye and has a wide selection of chinese teas.

The tea house is overlooking the beautiful green mountains of Maokong and you can see all the way down to the skyscrapers of Taipei. You can even see the Taipei 101 in the distance. The restaurant has little „rooms“ for each guest with pillows on the floor and a table in the middle. You take off your shoes and have some relax time with your soothing tea.

My take on Taiwan

It was my first visit to Taiwan – or to any chinese speaking country for that matter. I absolutely loved it. It was probably one of the coolest city trips I have ever done. I really liked it because it is so different than Austria. You get a complete different cultural experience, different food and you basically cant read anything. It might surprise you how clean the city is. I swear you would have been able to lick the metro floor. In the metro station I saw them sweeping the floor several times in front of me 😀 You can literally go to any public bathroom in every metro stop and not be completely disgusted by them. They are clean and don’t stink at all.

I also love the order in Taiwan. They love to queue for everything and nobody, seriously NOBODY would ever dare to jump the line. In the metro they have exact lines of where to get out and where to get in. The Taiwanese are super respectful and kind people.

I hope you enjoyed my blogpost on healthy food in Taipei. I had such a good time there and hope you will get to make this awesome experience yourself some day!

Golden Milk – super healthy turmeric tea!

8. Januar 2019 2 Kommentare

Traveling through Mexico last year gave me tons of food inspiration. One particular trend I picked up there was „golden milk.“Its a creamy, but dairy free hot drink that is filled with nutrients! Something that could be found in almost every healthy & vegan café. In this blog post I want to show you how to make the vitamin cocktail yourself!

Golden milk – a trend beverage with additional health benefits

It is said that golden milk has a ton of benefits due to all the wonderful spices used in the drink. Many studies have linked turmeric, which is the main ingredient, with wide-ranging anti-inflammatory effects. This super creamy drink will warm your heart and also bring you a soothing sleep! Rumor has it that drinking golden milk at night will help you to relax and sleep better.

The drink is packed with antioxidants and inflammatory ingredients. Let’s look at some of the ingredients and their health benefits that I researched accordingly on the internet:

Black Pepper: Is supposed to help with weight loss and should help to prevent cancer. I also found out that it should reduce memory impairment and cognitive malfunction.
Almonds: Almonds are rich in vitamin E, magnesium and filled with healthy unsaturated fats. It is also said that it helps to prevent diabetes.
Honey: I love to use honey as a sweetener because it is a good source of energy, benefits the skin and has a lot of mineral.
Ginger: There are so many health benefits to ginger I don’t even know where to start. For example I always take it when I have a cold, sore throat or a cough and it always helps me to feel better. It is also said to treat kidney infections, stimulates the digestive system and boosts the immune system.
Turmeric: Turmeric is said to be anti-inflammatory and is rich in antioxidants. Its good for your digestion and helps to detoxify.
Cinnamon: besides the fact that I simply love the taste of it cinnamon should regulate your blood sugar levels, reduce your cholesterol and relief joint pains.
Coconut: I like to use a bit of coconut cream as well because it gives it a creamy texture and makes it easier for your body to absorb the fat-soluble turmeric.

All in all the power spice in the drink is really the turmeric and listing all its health benefits would exceed the length of this blog post. However, if you would like to read more about the health benefits and uses for turmeric I recommend you click here and check out this wonderful article explaining in great detail how one single spice can boost every facet of your health!

Functional Food

I love recipes like this golden milk because they don’t only taste great, but they also have amazing benefits for your body. Each ingredient of this delicious and creamy hot drink was carefully selected to merge this drink into an explosion of an immune boosting vitamin cocktail for you!

So, if you haven’t tried golden milk yet, you are really missing out on something big! I love it because if I drink it before bedtime I can satisfy my cravings for something sweet with it, do something great for my health and get some restful sleep in addition!
I usually watch a series at night time every once in a while and simply loved to eat something while doing that. Well, now I replaced my extra meal with golden milk, save a bunch of calories, get to satisfy my sweet tooth and dream away smoothly at night. Amazing right?!

How to make golden milk

The recipe is really fairly easy. You simply need some basic spices at home. Golden milk is made from turmeric, ginger, black pepper, cinnamon and honey.

Ingredients:

200ml unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp honey
1 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp fresh pressed ginger (otherwise 1/4tsp ground ginger)
1/4 tsp ground pepper
1 tsp coconut cream

Method:

Heat the almond milk in a pot.
Mix in all the other ingredients and stir well.
Pour into a glass and enjoy while warm.
Feel free to add a bit more honey if you want it sweeter!

Drinking golden milk has become a great new habit I introduced in 2019. Try it yourself and I am sure you will love it too 🙂 If you are looking for another great detox inspiration make sure to read my blog post about my recent smoothie cleanse. Hope you enjoyed the recipe! Let me know if you would like to see more of those beneficial superfood drinks in the future!

Smoothie Detox – meine kleine Entgiftungskur

6. Januar 2019 3 Kommentare

Dieses Jahr wollte ich gleich mal mit einem Smoothie Detox startet um meinen Körper zu entgiften und neue Energien zu sammeln!
In diesem Blogpost möchte ich meine Erfahrungen mit euch teilen und euch auch meine Smoothie Rezepte, welche ich mir so gemacht habe weitergeben.

Mein Fasten Hintergrund

Seitdem ich 19 Jahre bin mache ich eigentlich jedes Jahr einmal eine Heilfasten Kur. Ich habe das schon immer bei meinen Eltern gesehen, die machen auch jedes Jahr so eine Entgiftungskur. Nur ein bisschen extremer als ich, da die dann meistens 10-14 Tage wirklich nichts essen und nur Wasser + Tee trinken. Ich mache das Heilfasten immer nur 5 Tage. Hier übrigens der Blog Post dazu vom letzten Jahr.
Auf jeden Fall wollte ich zu Beginn des Jahres auch mal wieder meinen Körper entgiften, da die letzte Fastenkur schon sehr lange her war. Komplettes Heilfasten war mir dann aber doch etwas zu viel und so habe ich mich für einen Smoothie Detox entschieden. Diesen wollte ich schon immer ausprobieren.

Ich habe mich in den letzten Tagen also ganz viel damit beschäftigt und viel darüber gelesen und möchte euch nun meine Erfahrungen weitergeben und ein paar Rezept teilen, welche ihr vielleicht auch bei eurem Smoothie Detox einmal ausprobieren könnt.

Generell möchte ich auch noch kurz dazu sagen, dass ich nun nach dem Vergleich zum Heilfasten sagen kann, dass ein Smoothie Detox wirklich viel VIEL einfacher ist als 5 Tage gar nichts zu essen. Es ist quasi die Einsteigerversion und perfekt für alle die zum ersten Mal eine Art „Fastenkur“ ausprobieren möchten.

Wie funktioniert ein Smoothie Detox?

Im Prinzip war meine einzige Regel nur flüßige Nahrung zu mir zu nehmen. Ich habe meist bis Mittags wirklich gefastet und nur Tee getrunken. In der Früh habe ich immer mit einem kleinen Morning Mineral Cocktail gestartet. Das war kaltes Wasser mit frischem Zitronensaft und Himalayasalz. Ein Tip vom bekannten Personal Trainer Aubrey Marcus.
Mittags machte ich mir dann den ersten Smoothie. Ein zweiter folgte dann gegen 15.00. Abends machte ich mir dann immer Suppe, da ich gerne einmal am Tag etwas warmes hatte. Zwischendurch nahm ich noch von Ringana täglich ein Cleansing Pack für die Verdauung und einen Detox Shot. Dies ist aber wirklich kein muss, ich hatte nur die Produkte gerade zu Hause und sie passten gut in die Entgiftungskurs mit rein. Generell ist es einfach super wichtig, dass ihr wirklich viel trinkt. Vor allem ganz viel Wasser und Tee zwischen den Smoothies 🙂

Für meine Smoothies lies ich mir auch sehr viel Freiraum und mixte zusammen auf was ich gerade Lust hatte, immer mit dem Hintergedanken Zutaten zu verwenden, welche positive & reinigende Eigenschaften auf den Körper hatten. So nahm ich zum Beispiel Grüntee als Base der auch die Fettverbrennung unterstützt, mischte Leinsamen hinein die über super gesunde Fette verfügen oder verwendete Spirulina und Moringa aufgrund des hohen Anteils an Vitalstoffen.

Ich habe euch nun untenstehend einen kleinen Smoothie Baukasten zusammen gestellt. Dieser soll euch helfen eigene Smoothies zusammen zu stellen, falls ihr auch mal einen Smoothie Detox plant!

Smoothie Baukasten

Basis: Kokoswasser, Grüntee, Fruchtsaft, Pflanzendrinks, Wasser
Früchte für die Süße: Banane, Apfel, Birne, Ananas, Mango, Kiwi, Beeren, Granatapfel, Melone,…
Gemüse für extra Chlorophyl: Spinat, Broccoli, Gurke, Salat, Avocado,…
Zum Verdicken: Mandelbutter, Haferflocken, Kokosfleisch, Chia Samen, Leinsamen
Für den Power Boost: Spirulina, Matcha, Moringa, Protein Pulver, Kurkuma, Ingwer

Einfach von jeder Kategorie eine oder mehr Zutaten wählen und ihr habt den perfekten super clean detox smoothie!

Hat man Hunger während des Smoothie Detox?

Viele von euch haben mich gefragt wie hungrig man während der drei Tage fasten ist. Hier kann ich euch wirklich beruhigen. Da man ja eigentlich ständig am trinken ist und durch die Smoothies auch einiges über den Tag verteilt zu sich nimmt ist es mit dem Hunger wirklich nicht so schlimm.
Hier und da verspürt man zwar so einen Hungerschwall, aber dann trinkt man einfach ganz schnell einen Tee oder den nächsten Smoothie und dann geht das auch gleich wieder weg.
Jedoch gehört eine gute Portion Disziplin und Durchhaltevermögen zu solchen Fastenkuren dazu. Man muss mehr als einmal stark bleiben um nicht irgendwo etwas zu essen was man nicht sollte.

Rezepte

Hier nun ein Auszug aus meinen Smoothie Rezepten, welche ich in den letzten Tagen getrunken habe. Mega hilfreich bei so einer Smoothie Kur ist natürlich ein guter Blender. Ein Pürierstab geht natürlich auch, aber ich würde euch einen Standmixer sehr empfehlen weil er einfach leistungsstärker ist. Während meiner Detox Kur habe ich den KMix von Kenwood verwendet, welcher einfach der Wahnsinn war! (PR-Sample)

Morning Mineral Cocktail – gleich nach dem Aufstehen

1 Glas kaltes Wasser
3g Himalaya Salz
1/4 frisch gepresste Zitrone

Grüner Smoothie – Mittags

Hier ein Smoothie Rezept vom zweiten Tag:

1 Kiwi
1 Minigurke
3 Erdbeeren
1/4 Mango
40g Broccoli
1/4 Honigmelone
1 TL Moringa, Matcha oder Spirulina
200ml Kokoswasser

Protein Smoothie – Nachmittags

1 TL Mandelbutter (gesundes Fett)
1/2 Banane (Energy Booster)
1 EL Proteinpulver (Eweißquelle)
200ml Mandelmilch (Mandeln helfen gegen Herzkrankheiten)
1 TL Flohsamen (Ballaststoffquelle, gut für die Verdauung)
1 TL Matcha (hoch an Antioxidantien)

Optional auch noch mit Avocado und Rohkakao.

Granatapfel Spirulina Smoothie – dazwischen

1/5 Zitrone (für das Immunsystem)
250ml Grüntee (hilft bei Fettverbrennung)
100g Granatapfelkerne (soll vor Krebs und vorzeitiger Hautalterung schützen)
1 EL Leinsamen (Omega 3 & Ballaststoffe)
1 TL Spirulina (entzündungshemmend und entgiftend, vorsicht – Geschmack ist nicht gerade lecker)

Warme Tomatensuppe – „Abendessen“

Einmal am Tag wollte ich meist was warmes essen. Deshalb habe ich mir einen Gemüse Smoothie namens Suppe gemacht 😀
Hier ein tolles Rezept meiner Lieblingssuppe währen der Detox Kur!

Zutaten:
300g Wurzelgemüse (Knollensellerie, Karotten, Lauch)
1 Kartoffel
Kräuter
Bio-Suppenwürfel
3 EL Tomatenmark

Zubereitung:

Das Gemüse in kleine Stücke schneiden und in einem Suppentopf mit Wasser kochen. Tomatenmark und Suppenwürfel unterrühren. Gekochtes Gemüse aus der Suppe abseihen und für die Aufbautage im Kühlschrank aufbewahren. Frische Kräuter hacken und als Topping auf die Suppe geben.

Ich hoffe ihr habt dieses Blogpost spannend gefunden und ich konnte euch auf für eine zukünftige Smoothie Detox Kur begeistern. Es ist wirklich toll so etwas mal auszuprobieren. Falls ihr noch genauere Fragen habe könnt ihr mir sie gerne in die Kommentare schreiben.

Glücksschweinchen für Silvester – Backen zu Neujahr

3. Januar 2019 Keine Kommentare

Prosit Neujahr! Ich hoffe ihr seit alle gut in das neue Jahr gestartet. Kurz vor Silvester bin ich dieses Jahr auf ein wahnsinnig geniales Rezept gestoßen welches mir meine Mama gezeigt hat. Ich möchte das Rezept der Glücksschweinchen für Silvester nun mit euch teilen damit ihr die kleinen Glücksbringer auch selber nachmachen könnt!

Rezept Inspiration

Zwei Tage vor Neujahr fing meine Mutter auf einmal an zu Backen und ich war ganz begeistert als ich sah was sie in der Küche zauberte. Vor einiger Zeit hat ihr eine Freundin das Rezept der Glücksschweinchen für Silvester aus Topfenteig gegeben. Die sind einfach perfekt als kleine Mitbringsel für Silvesterparties oder zum Herschenken als Glücksbringer am Neujahrestag!

Super einfaches Silvester Rezept

Das Rezept an sich ist auch wirklich total unkompliziert. Ich musste dafür nicht mal einkaufen gehen, da wir alles schon im Kühlschrank dafür hatten. Den Teig zu machen dauert nicht lange. Das einzige wofür ihr euch dann schon etwas mehr Zeit nehmen müsst ist das Formen der Gesichter der kleinen Glücksschweinchen für Silvester.

Ihr braucht für das Rezept drei verschiedene Runde Ausstechformen. Hier bin ich sehr kreativ geworden. Für das Gesicht habe ich einfach ein Glas verwendet, für die Ohren eine kleinere Keksausstechform und für die Nase den Verschluss einer kleinen Flasche. So hatte ich drei verschiedene runde Kreise ohne extra etwas kaufen zu müssen.

Glücksschweinchen für Silvester – das perfekte Mitbringsel

Der Geschmack der fertig gebackenen Schweinchen ist eher neutral. Man kann es mit einer Semmel vergleichen. Deshalb rate ich euch die Schweinchen mit etwas Aufstrich zu essen. Sie sind also auch die perfekte Beilage für das morgendliche Frühstück.

Ich habe die Glücksschweinchen für Silvester zu zwei Parties mitgenommen und sie waren der absolute Highlight des Abends! Alle haben sich so gefreut eine so süße Kleinigkeit zu bekommen.

Das Rezept

Hier das einfache Rezept für den perfekten Start in das neue Jahr:

Puebla Food Guide – top 12 best restaurants and food spots

13. Dezember 2018 2 Kommentare

So excited to share this Puebla food guide with you all. Puebla is in my opinion the heart of gastronomy in Mexico. It is super well known for its incredible cuisine and extravagant restaurants. After having lived here twice I feel like I know my way around the best food spots in town pretty well and would love to share them with you now.

The amount of cool, unique trendy places is really astonishing in Puebla. It was something I certainly didn’t expect when I came here the fist time. I can honestly say our restaurants & cafés in Austria don’t even come close to the awesome food spots you will find here!

Gastronomy is super important for the city of Puebla. In almost every university you will find a gastronomy major, which is also what I studied during my exchange semester here. It is the soul and beating heart of the Mexican haute cuisine. The food is really so unbelievably good here and in this Puebla food guide I want to present you my top food choices of the city!

Puebla Food Guide

Breakfast

Here a list of my favorite breakfast spots in Puebla:

1. Olivia

I adore this place and therefore it is on top of my list for my Puebla food guide. The vibe, the atmosphere, the healthy food and the fair prices. When I go I always get the „Dejalo Fluir“ Detox shot at Olivia, which is a mix of apple vinagre, himalayan salt, honey, cinnamon and cardamon. A perfect start into the day! The matcha pancakes, smoothies and Açai bowl are my top choices there. They have a good internet connection as well and I love to work from there every once in a while.

2. Mama Elena

I love this place because of the beautiful view onto the cathedral of Cholula. Its a super cute restaurant and they have a couple of healthy options. I unfortunately couldn’t make it there this year, but I remember from last year I loved their chia pudding and the fresh pressed juice is also really good. Check for special events there. Last year we went for a five course Valentines dinner with a view onto the cathedral. Mama Elena is really a magical place!

3. Tonico 12

This place is definitely on top of my food list here in Puebla. What ever you order will guarantee an explosion of color on your plate. Everything is homemade and super high quality ingredients are used. Tonico 12 has many vegan and vegetarian options and uses a lot of superfood for the dishes. I had characol pancakes and a characol smoothie which tasted amazing! What I also really liked was how they decorate the dishes. Tonico 12 is on my list for breakfast places, but I also recommend it for a healthy lunch or dinner option!

4. La Cupula

This is a restaurant downtown in the center of Puebla. Its a rooftop restaurant so you have an amazing 360 degree view over the entire city. We went there for breakfast which I can highly recommend. It is a buffet and only costs 150 pesos (like 8 euros) and you have a huge selection and can also get fresh Chilaquiles, Enchiladas and Omlettes from the kitchen. Highly recommend checking out la Cupula!

5. La Chula

This is a tiny little juice bar in Cholula. Everything is made right there in front of you. The ingredients are super fresh and the choice of healthy juices are amazing! They also offer a small breakfast menu including omlettes (which were incredible) and bowls (even better). We had the crazy monkey bowl which included peanut butter and banana!

6. Soul Vali

Tulum vibes coming right up with this one. A visit at Soul Vali feels like a short term vacation. The tropical and chill atmosphere makes eating there super enjoyable. It is situated in a little garden with beautiful white hammock chairs and wooden tables. They have a huge selection of healthy bowls and decorate them like top food bloggers! I think we spent like three hours there soaking in the atmosphere. Soul Vali also has Wifi so its a good place for a little work session as well.

Lunch & Dinner

7. Casona de los Sapos

I am putting this place first on my Puebla food guide regarding dinner & lunch choices. Out of all the places we went to it definitely impressed me the most with their dishes and quality of food. Casona de los Sapos is a small boutique hotel with only 19 super luxury rooms hosting three restaurants and one French bakery.

We had dinner at Osteria del Rospo and were stunned by professional service and haute cuisine sent from the kitchen. We treated ourself to a three course meal there and were so happy about all the healthy low carb options that can be found in the menu. The combination of flavor we found in all dishes were so well balanced, but also challenged your senses at the same time. This is really what I call a unique food experience. The next morning we had breakfast in their French restaurant. We were offered some of the fresh pastries from the bakery and ordered some main dishes. I rarely ate such a good salmon omelette.

8. Textileria

This place is simply so cool. Honestly I wish we had a restaurant like that in my city at home. The interior is super stylish and has a modern/vintage twist. The service is world class and the waiters make you feel like the most important person in the room. Although I consider Textileria quite fancy the prices are absolutely affordable for any European. As a starter they bring you this fantastic bread with different kinds of sauces to try. I was feeling a bit adventurous when we went there and ordered the grasshopper tacos. I also had salmon there one time which was incredible and needs to mentioned on my Puebla food guide.

9. Intro

This is probably one of the higher priced restaurants in Puebla and has made quite a name for itself. My host sister is managing the bar so I simply had to come and check it out and go for a drink there. After a super delicious non-alcoholic matcha cocktail at Intro we got some food there as well. I ordered the cauliflower with feta cheese, which was really yummy and my friends had octopus and ceviche. Expect to pay a bit more here than in other places, but also expect top class food and amazing service. When we sat down the chef send a little greeting fro the kitchen with was also super yummy! I loved the interior and classy style of the place.

10. La Berejena

You might not expect to find good pizza in Mexico, but la Berejena will prove you wrong. They have a super creative pizza menu, offering different combinations of flavors you have never tried before on a pizza. The place is usually packed, but after a short while waiting we got a table. The decoration of the restaurant is super hip & trendy. I ordered a salad because it just sounded so amazing. It was with caramelized pecans, goat cheese, apple slices and jamón serrano. I also shared a pizza with my boyfriend which was delicious.

11. The Ocho30

Another hipster food spot in Puebla that needs to be mentioned in my Puebla food guide. There are a couple Ocho30 restaurants in Puebla, each one specializing in one specific meal (paninis, pizza,…) What I really love about 80.30 is the interior decoration. It is just so cool! My two favorite ones are in Cholula and in Lomas de Angelopolis. I ate lasagne there last time, which was great. The prices are super affordable, but don’t expect huge portions. Perfect for not gaining weight though 😉

12. Sushi-iito

Okay I simply had to put this one on my Puebla food guide list because I went there so many times. This is not the traditional high end restaurant you would expect. It is a pretty basic sushi chain with an AMAZING offer I simply was not able to resist. So, I absolutely love sushi and Sushi-iito has this offer from Monday to Thursday where you order one roll and get the second one for free! Whaaat?! Yes you heard correctly!

The best thing, one roll costs like 100 pesos (4 euros) and it is actually really good sushi. Totally recommend you to check it out when you are here. We loved going to the one in Lomas de Angelopolis because it has a nice atmosphere as well. Oh and by the way don’t go to Shirushi. OMG I absolutely hated that place. That was my worst food experience in Puebla. So if you are on the lookout for sushi go to Sushi-iito instead!

Top chefs in Puebla

Since I studied here for half a year in the field of gastronomy & mixology I was also able to get to know a lot of people working in this area here. Many of my friends are top chefs and bartenders here who are also being flown around internationally to cook in different countries. The Puebla food guide would not be complete if you didn’t get to know some of the chefs behind the scenes. Here I would like to present two of my favorite talents of the city.

Elena Centeno

This sweet girl is actually my host sister. Elena has an incredible talent for creating the most amazing cocktails and is head of bar at Intro, one of the finest restaurants in the city. She has entered various mixology competitions and impressed the judges more than once!
Since I don’t really drink alcohol she made me a super special „healthy“ matcha cocktail. I was really impressed by the taste and creativity of the drink.
Her signature drink Green Velvet is also super healthy. Its with avocado, egg white and matcha! Sounds like a pure fitness drink, right?!

Daniel Nantes

This guy has some real skills! Daniel is of the uprising stars in Pueblas gastronomy world who was just recently flown to Russia to cook for the Mexican embassy in Moscow! His skill to innovate new dishes and combine all kinds of ingredients into a firework of flavors is unique. During the time I was here I was lucky enough to have tasted a three course meal he and Elena put together (they are dating by the way – what a power couple in the kitchen).

Make sure to check out their Insta for some real high class food inspo!

My love for Puebla

I hope you enjoyed this Puebla food guide and will check some of these places out if you ever get to the city! I promise you will be stunned the by the high quality and unique restaurants & cafés you find in the city. If you are looking for more food tips in Mexico I recommend you check out my Tulum food guide.

I honestly really love Puebla and I have a close connection to this city because I lived here for quite a while and have made tons of friends here. It has such a charm and besides the food there are also so many things to see and do. They have this super cool VIP and 4Dx cinema that makes every movie experience so memorable. Also visiting the markets, taking a spin on the Estrella de Puebla and shopping at some of their fancy malls is a ton of fun.

Let me know if you still have any questions and I am happy to answer them in the comments!

Kekse ohne Zucker – weihnachtliches Protein Lebkuchen Rezept

10. Dezember 2018 Keine Kommentare

Kekse ohne Zucker sind ja gerade in der Weihnachtszeit selten gesehen. Hier vergisst man schnell alle Regeln der gesunde Ernährung und lässt sich von Vanillekipferln und Linzeraugen verführen. Nicht so mit diesem Rezept. Mein Protein Lebkuchen ist ohne Butter und ohne Zucker und spart euch einiges an Kalorien!

Zuckerfreie Kekse – keine Butter, kein Zucker, extra Protein

Protein Lebkuchen

Solltet ihr mir schon länger folgen kennt ihr bestimmt meinen Hang zu Proteinpulver. Ich liebe es einfach und verwende es super gerne beim Backen und kochen. Ihr habt dabei auf anhieb bessere Nährwerte bei jedem Rezept, spart euch Kohlenhydrate und Zucker.
Für Lebkuchen und Weihnachtskekse hatte ich es allerdings noch nicht verwendet. Das Rezept ist wirklich super spontan in der Küche entstanden. Da ich gerade hier in Mexiko bin und die Tradition des Lebkuchen es nicht bis hierher geschafft hatte und ich unbedingt Plätzchen ausstechen wollte kam ich auf die Idee ihn einfach selber zu machen – Protein style selbstverständlich. Meine gesunden Kekse ohne Zucker werden euch beeindrucken, soviel kann ich versprechen!

Da ich unbedingt kleine Lebkuchenmänner backen wollte als Deko für meine anderen Rezepte musste die Konsistenz vom Teig stimmen um ihn auch ausrollen zu können, was auch super gut geklappt hat. Meine Plätzchen ohne Zucker sind zum Ausstechen richtig gut geeignet. Ich war wirklich verblüfft wie sehr der Teig einer echten Lebkuchenmasse ähnelte!

Fit durch die Weihnachtszeit

Wo man in der Weihnachtszeit auch hingeht, gefühlt werden einem überall frisch gebackene Plätzchen angeboten, nicht wahr? Am schlimmsten sind die Vorweihnachtsbesuche bei meiner Oma, die mit Leidenschaft gerne 20 verschiedene Keksorten bäckt. Hier ist es einfach super schwierig zu widerstehen und die Summe der Kalorien schlägt sich dann immer recht schnell auf mein Gewicht nieder. Wisst ihr dass die meisten Weihnachtskekse eigentlich nur aus Butter, Zucker und Mehl bestehen? Drei Zutaten dich ich IMMER versuche in allen meinen Rezepten zu vermeiden.

Man kann es fast nicht glauben aber ein Vanillekipferl hat ganze 97kcal. Und wie schnell hat man da fünf Stück sich in den Mund gesteckt?!
Meine gesunden Kekse ohne Zucker haben gerade mal die Hälfte davon!

Heute möchte ich euch ein Rezept zeigen, welches viel besser für euch ist als der herkömmliche Keksteig! Butter und Zucker habe ich weggelassen. Mehl musste ich für die Konsistenz aber trotzdem verwenden. Dafür aber Vollkorndinkelmehl!

Das Schöne an dem Rezept ist auch, dass ihr wirklich nicht viele Zutaten benötigt und das meiste bestimmt schon in eurer Küche habt. Vielleicht neu kann für euch das Erythrit sein. Ich verwende das total gerne als Zuckerersatz. Es ist ein natürlicher Zuckeralkohol ohne Kalorien und man kann es total easy online bestellen. Falls ihr das nicht zu Hause habt oder euch kaufen wollt kann ich Xylit empfehlen. Das ist auch als Birkenzucker bekannt und hat um 40% weniger Kalorien als herkömmlicher Zucker.

Statt der Butter habe ich Erdnussmus genommen. Dieses enthält einen hohen Anteil an ungesättigten Fettsäuren, welche ganz wichtig für euren Körper sind. Außerdem liebe ich einfach den leckeren Geschmack und brauche keine Butter verwenden!

Das Rezept – weihnachtliche Kekse ohne Zucker

Hier nun das Rezept zu meinen leckeren Keksen ohne Zucker für die Weihnachtszeit:

Ingredients

60g Erdnussbutter
1 Ei
2 EL Kokosflocken
25g Proteinpulver (Schokolade, Vanille, Karamell)
1 TL Rohkakaopulver  20g Birkengold Xylit
1 TL Lebkuchengewürz
5 EL Dinkelmehl  1 TL Backpulver

Instructions

Zuerst das Ei mit der Erdnussbutter mit einem Pürierstab fein mixen.
Kokosflocken, Backpulver, Proteinpulver, Kakaopulver, Xylit und Lebkuchengewürz dazumischen und verrühren. Nun das Mehl dazugeben und mit den Händen die Masse kneten.
Es sollte ein fester Teig den man gut ausrollen kann entstehen. Sollte er noch zu flüssig sein einfach immer mehr Mehl dazugeben bis er sich gut ausrollen lässt.
Etwas Mehl auf einer Arbeitsplatte verteilen und den Teig 5mm dick ausrollen.
Kekse ausstechen und die Oberfläche mit einem verquirlten Ei bestreichen damit das Keks dann schön glänzt.
Bei 180 Grad 10-15 Minuten backen.
Gut auskühlen lassen und bei Bedarf noch verzieren.

Notes

Als gesundes Icing könnt ihr Magertopfen mit etwas Proteinpulver mischen und zum Verzieren verwenden!
