Healthy Recipe! The Best Healthy Dessert EVER!


I'm sorry it has taken me longer than expected to post this! Hear me out though, I knew that if I made this dessert I would HAVE to eat it. I couldn't just let it sit there and go to waste and now that we're coming up to the weekend I have done it! Honestly, this is the best healthy, all organic dessert I have ever tasted! It came from a Paleo recipe I found for Chocolate pudding and one night I felt like being experimental and whipped this together. What I produced is (in my opinion) better than ice cream.

Choc-Banana Frozen Mousse

Ingredients:
3 Bananas
2 Avocados
1 Tablespoon of Vanilla Extract
2 Tablespoons of Organic Creamed Honey
2 Tablespoons of Almond Spread
1 Tablespoon of Cocoa Powder
1 Scoop of Chocolate Protein Powder (This is optional, I use it to make it slightly closer to "Zone" Good Fat, Good Carb, Protein)

Serves 2 generous bowls or 4 mini sides


Procedure:
(Brace yourself- it gets technical. I'm kidding. Its a piece of cake  mousse!)

1. Put all ingredients into Food Processor
2. Process until a cream like substance appears. You may have to stop the processor and mix the outside ingredients into the middle a couple of times

3. Proportion to two bowls

4. Put bowls in freezer. Depending how you like it leave it in there for atleast 60 minutes. This will give you a thick really cold mousse. If you want it more like an ice cream, leave it in for 2 hours.

5. Grab a spoon, a movie and the couch to enjoy this amazing healthy treat!

Let me know if you made it and what you think about it!

Hope you enjoy!

Urban Babes Hot Tip- Green Tea

Hey Babes!



So today's tip is all about- GREEN TEA! I know you're thinking "yeah, yeah, how original green tea is good for you!" But seriously, have you ever actually done your research and realised how good it really is for your health?


Here are just some of the reasons green tea is good for you:
  • It is an excellent source of anti oxidants
  • Clears up your skin
  • It burns fat and enables you to exercise longer
  • It lowers stress but boosts brain power
  • It reduces high blood pressure
  • It helps to protect your lungs from smoking
  • It helps your liver from alcohol
  • It prevents tooth decay and cures bad breath
  • Great for hydration
  • It boosts your immunity against illnesses/ helps fight bacteria 
  • All of this- with ZERO fat or carbs

Green Tea does contain caffeine so drink it before 6pm to ensure it doesn't mess with your sleep. It does however contain less caffeine than coffee so you can have up to 6 cups a day. Its especially good at getting rid of metal toxicity which is basically toxins from the environment.

I've heard a lot of you say that you don't like the taste if so, have you ever tried it iced? Here's what I do, especially in the summer time when the last thing you feel like a cup of boiling water.

  1. Boil the kettle 
  2. Using a large water jug, put three organic (contains more antioxidants) green tea bags and fill with boiling water
  3. Let it cool down
  4. Once its room temperature then put in fridge
  5. Serve with glass of ice!

Urban Babes Hot Tip!

Hi Babes!

Here's something I recently read about consuming sugar that I thought you may find interesting and useful!

Today's Hot Tip- Always eat sugar with protein!

Never eat sugar on its own (including fruit and honey) always eat it with some protein and 'good fat' for example with a handful of nuts or a slice of meat or fish! This is because protein and fat slow the rate at which sugar floods into your bloodstream and if sugar hits your bloodstream quickly,you'll feel quickly high and then very quickly low.
