Cupcakes Raw&Vegan

Hey guys! I am back with gorgeous super yummy, filling, and healthy cupcakes!
they are so good, it hurts! You have to try!
 
These beauty cupcakes are vegan and raw!
 
Let's not waste no more time!
Like I told you, my recipes are reality actual size for 1 person and If you wish to make in a bigger amount, all you need is double the size. I mean how often you cook or bake something for a large group of people??? Let's us be realistic with the portion that we can make it for just 1 person and not wasting the ingredients!
 
And this is how they look like!  
Healthy raw vegan cupcakes
 

Produce:
- 100g dates
- 1/2 cup of almonds or hazelnuts
- 2-3 tbsp spoons of granola
- 1/2 banana
- 100g low fat or greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp maca powder (optional)
- 2 tbsp rose hip powder (optional)
- Goji berries and dark chocolate chips for garnish

Now let us get started with the process, how do we do this?? Easy! Today I have images for step by step!

Process:

1. First thing you need to do it put the dates into the room-temperature clean water - leave them in the water for at least 4 hours


2. After you put dates into water, then start with the layers! I use these 4 cupcake block or you can simply use a deep bowl. Put granola into the blocks as the first layer
 

3. Put the nuts, yogurt, banana, maca, and rose hip powder into the blender, then blend until mixed.



Mix it until it looks like this. soft and smooth. 
With rose hip powder, it makes the cupcake a tiny little sour, almost like cheesecake actually. If you don't pit rose hip powder in, it wont taste that sour. It is up to you. Rose Hip powder is optional, you do not need it. I added it just for some energy boost and antioxidant.  


4. Put your finished mixture into the blocks or bowl or whatever you are using. then they will look like this! Soft and smooth and nutty and just so good! After that put the block into the freezer, freeze the cupcakes the whole time while waiting for the caramel frosting, which is the dates.


5. After 4 hours of leaving the dates in the water, we then put them into the blender and blend them until they are blended.
6. Put the date frosting mixture on top of your freeze-ed cupcakes
7. Garnish with some goji berries and dark chocolate chips  



 Then, there you go, raw and vegan cupcakes. Mine ones are very creamy almost like cheesecakes in the middle topped with sweet  date frosting... Kill the sweetness in some bites with the dark chocolate chips... Oh yeah <3

Spicy and sour Thai-style salad

Sa Sa Sa Saladddddd
I know this is not my typical dinner but since i feel like something spicy, i thought i had a salad for dinner. 
(My usual dinner is smoothie)

First of all i wanna say that this is very f*#*@*king spicy!! 



Ingredients:
- 50 gram  of champignons
- 20g Fresh salad
- Cucumber (As much as you want)
- 1-4 Chilli 
- 1 tbsp lime juice 
- 3/4 tbsp soy sauce

Process:
- Cook the sliced champignons in a pot with a little bit of water for 2-3 minutes. After this you can turn off the stove but we will continue cooking in the pot
- Put the fresh salad, cucumber, and chilli in then mix it together
- but lime juice and soy sauce in then mix it well


 
For the amount of the chilli, if you are not good with chili, suggest put just 1 chilli in. If you are very advance with spiciness, i suggest you put the whole 4 in but be prepared that this is really really really really SPICY! (Do not hate me afterwards, if this recipe will burn the hell out of you!) 
 
Then it is ready to eat. Quick, Vegan, and almost raw (80% raw)! 
I love quick dinner because everyday after work i always come home starving, which is not good i know. 

The right weight loss diet is not about starve yourself and not eating at all, but it is about you know what you eat in the right amount and right ingredients and processes!

ขอวิจารณ์ดาราขายของหน่อยค่ะ คันๆ

วันนี้มาเวอชั่นภาษาไทยค่ะ
คือแบบว่ามันคันหยิบๆ

คือเราเห็นบนอินสตาแกรมของดาราแก๊งนางฟ้า (ฮ่าๆ) เขาขายของกันเราก็สนใจๆแบบงงๆ 

นี่คือรูปที่เขาขายของกัน

คำแนะนำของข้อควรปฎิบัติทั้งหมดความจริงแล้วถ้าทำตามที่เขาแนะนำ เราก็ไม่เห็นจำเป็นต้องไปซื้อของของเขาเลย 
  1. โดยความจริงแล้วถ้าเรากินอาหารให้ครบห้าหมู่ ในปริมาณจำนวนจำกัด ย่ำในปริมาณจำนวนจำกัด ก็จะสามารถลดน้ำหนักได้จริงๆ
  2. ออกกำลังกายสม่ำเสมอ แน่นอนถ้าเราออกกำลังกายเราก็จะไม่อ้วน ย่ำว่าไม่อ้วนแต่น้ำหนักก็อาจจะไม่ลดเพราะว่ากินเยอะเกิน ฉะนั้นก็ต้องออกกำลังกายพร้อมกับกินอาหารให้ครบห้าหมู่ในปริมาณที่จำกัด กินให้เหมาะสม 
  3. ดื่มน้ำช่วยลดความหิวระหว่างวัน ถ้าดื่มน้ำอย่างที่พี่ๆเขาแนะนำก็แน่ล่ะดีต่อผิว สุขภาพ และน้ำหนักตัว
  4. ถ้าจดบันทึกเราก็จะเห็นว่าเรากินไรบ้าง คือแบบว่าจะไปจดทำไมว่าวันนี้ฉันกินยาอันนี้โคตรฟินไม่อ้วนเลย จดบันทึกก็ไม่เห็นจะเกี่ยวอะไรกับยาของพี่เลย
  5. พักผ่อนให้เพียงพอ นอนเยอะร่างกายก็จะสมดุลเพราะเวลานอนไม่ได้กิน และเครื่องในต่างๆก็ทำงานของมัน
  6. หลีกเลี่ยงอาหารที่มีน้ำตาลและไขมันสูง แม่เจ้าแดกยาเทวดาที่ไหนก็ไม่ช่วยถ้าแดกแต่พวกน้ำตาลและไขมันสูง และไขมันไร่ประโยชน์ 
โอ้โหหหหแล้วแนะนำสะขนาดนี้แล้วจะไปซื้อยามากินทำไมอ่ะ งงมากๆๆๆๆๆๆๆ ยาเขาอาจจะช่วยเผาพลานหลังทานอาหารแต่ความจริงแล้วถ้าเราทานอาหารให้ถูกหลัก ถูกวิธียาอะไรก็ไม่ช่วยหรอกค่ะ เสียเงินซื้อยาไปซื้ออาหารที่มีประโยชน์และช่วยให้เห็นผลจริงจะดีกว่าอ่ะเราว่านะ 

โดยส่วนตัวแล้วเราคิดว่าพี่ๆเขาสวยผอมกันมาแต่เกิด ไม่ได้กินยาอันนี้เลยสวยได้ขนาดนี้หรอก

เราไม่มีของมาขายค่ะ ไม่ได้อยากขายของ แต่แค่ไม่เห็นด้วยกับยาพวกนี้ พูดจริงๆถ้าเป็นเมื่อหลายปีก่อนคงซื้อแน่นอน แต่ตอนนี้ไม่ซื้อแน่นอนค่ะ 

เราไม่ใช่นักโภชนาการหรือหมอหรือเอกซ์เปิร์ตแต่อย่างใดแต่อยากบ่นจริงๆ เพราะมันคันๆๆๆ

Nananut Bars

Blah Blah Blah 

Hello my friends, its been a while!
I have been very busy because of work, looking for new flat in Berlin (I was living in a share flat the first month and a half in Berlin. Now i do have my own flat!! Loving all the vibes here. if you know me personally, your welcome to visit me! :D 
I must admit that during the time i was busy the past few weeks, I have been eating a lot of same old stuff, eg. oatmeal, nana ice cream, a little bit of unhealthy and healthy bought lunch, etc. 

About Today's recipes

Today, since i have time (although our stuff are everywhere but i can't be bothered anymore), i thought i made some snack. It was inspired by +Unprocess Your Food It was very yummy! 

I named it Nananut Bar cuz its basically full of nuts and well a banana :P 
This is the end result how it looks like 



Hmmm, doesnt it look yummy? 
It is the alternative to  snacks, sweet, cakes, desserts..

Produces:
- 1 cup of raw almonds (or walnuts or hazelnuts)
- 1 big ripe banana
- 2 tbsp of coconut oil 
- 1 tsp of cinnamon powder
- 1 tbsp Maca powder
- a pinch of salt 
- a big pinch of sesame for topping
- Goji berries for topping


Process:
- blend your nuts until nicely crushed
- Put all other produces in and blend for another 10 minutes
- Put into a plate and make it into a bar shape, which means a little bit thick so when you cut it it look nice! not too thick and not too thin
- freeze for at least 90 minutes




Well after this i saw that there were some leftover that is stuck in the mixer so i decided to make Nana-ice cream afterwards so i do not waste too much of the good ingredients 


Produces:
- 1 and 1/2 frozen bananas
- 1 tbsp of rose hip powder 
- 1 tbsp 100% peanut butter 
- 60ml of almond milk or any sort of milk you like. 

Process:
Well that is easy as you may know. Just put everything into the nutty-leftover-mixer and mix until creamy and smooth! 
I topped this nana ice cream with mango, blueberries, and goji berries. 

Oh god this is 2 in 1!
Both recipes are raw and vegan! 

Why we should eat healthy fats? 
Before this i believed fat was bad for me cuz it would make me fat but i was wrong! especially when you are in your 20's, fat is good for you and your health! 

Why healthy fat is good for you? HEALTHY FAT!
1. It helps you lose weight (when eating in limited amount of course) 
2. Fats keep you looking young!
3. decrease risk of breast cancer and heart disease 
4. Reduce cholesterol level 
5. Keep you full and high energy

The nutritions: in the Nananut Bars, the sources of healthy fat are almonds and coconut oil. These are suggested healthy fat. KEEP IN MIND - NOT all fats from foods are healthy and suggested! 

Banana: complex carbohydrate that provides energy and can be absorbed by the body a lot faster than other carbohydrate sources, for instance, rice and breads. Also high in iron and natural sugars, which we should eat to maintain balance nutrition! 

Well, you would NOT lose weight if you eat the whole thing at once!! This recipe should last for at least 3-4 days, which means approximately 50-70g a day for either your morning or afternoon snack!

Enjoy!
