Pizza healthified: Aubergine Pizza Piccolini
Diet often is all about cheating. Cheating your mind into thinking you're eating something desirably unhealthy while eating very healthy instead. That's why I'm gonna prestent to you today: Aubergine Pizza Piccolini.
For this recipie you will need:
Of course the goal is to top the Piccolini with the pizza tipping you like. So if you prefer spinach or salami or tuna, go ahead and use that :)
Start with cutting your Mini Pizza Crusts. I cut reasonably sized slices of aubergine, cutting that thin end-part sideways.
Season the aubergine before putting in into the oven at 150° C. It will stay in there until your topping is done.
Now for the sauce. Of course you cold really make it pizza-like with putting the topping onto the sauce. But I don't want to use a second pot so I will mix the topping with the sauce.
I LOVE diced smoked ham. You can use the exact amount you want - plus it gives you a tiny bit of fat to fry your vegetables in.
Speaking of vegetables: Cut them into chunks to your liking.
Add the garlic into the pan first and soften it ...
... before adding the rest of the vegetables.
Cook untill they are nice and soft as well.
Now add the tomato sauce ...
And cook untill it's pretty much reduced to a gorgeous sauce. Season to taste.
Usually I have a piece of parmesan and use the grater. Today we're using pre-sliced Parmesan though, so I had to cut it very small in order to sprinkle the Piccolini.
Once the sauce is done set it aside to cool a bit and check your Mini Crusts. They should be done as well.
Now it's time to build the Pizzas. Top off the crusts ...
... add the cheese and maybe some balsamic cream underneath ...
... and put it back into the oven until the cheese has molten.
Enjoy!!
If you're using Weight Watchers: All of these Aubergine Pizza Piccolini I made had only about 5 ProPoints.

Healthy Breakfast Apple Strudel.
I'm having a moment with quick breakfast Ideas. As a fan of hot apples I came up with this healthy idea: Breakfast Apple Strudel.
For this Recipe you will need:
(Excuse the quality of the pictures - it was kinda dark in my kitchen)
Decore your apple and cut it in quarters. Leave on the skin for now.
Take a grater, lay the apple flat on it and start grating. You will reach a point when the skin of the apple will protect your fingers and you can grate the last bit of meat off it.
Add the grated apple to the oats and season with Cinnamon. Personally I like to add flax seeds and vanilla as well.
Mix it up.
And put it into the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes.
The heat will soften the apple and the juices will soften the oats. Enjoy this deliciouses of apple with cinnamon while hot!
If you're using Weight Watchers: This bowl of Breakfast Apple Strudel had around 4 ProPoints.

Banana Breakfast Muffins
When I woke up this morning I fancied some Banana pancakes, but didn't fancy using oil to fry them. So I came up with this recipe for healthy, delicious, gluten-free Banana Breakfast Muffins.
For these Muffins you will need:
This recipe is fairly easy. Start by tossing everything, apart from the berries, into the blender ...
... and mix it up really well.
I advice you to use silicone muffin cups because, unlike regular muffins, these won't be as firm and easy to peal out of a paper form. I guess if you used more almond flour it might work but I wanted to try it with one tbsp of almond flour :)
The amount of this recipe is enough for roughly 4 Muffins. Use the Berries for decoration.
Now, at 150 °C, bake those babies for about 20 Minutes.
And viola. There you have it. Delicious, healthy Banana Muffins. I had mine with a cup of Earl Gray tea.
If you're using Weight Watchers, together all four Muffins only had about 5 ProPoints.
Enjoy,

- 1 Egg

Healthified: Chocolate Chip cookies - Quick and easy.
Who doesn't love Chocolate Chip cookies? They just combine everything that's tasty - but with the 'tasty' part being Fat and Sugar and Chocolate ... yeah, they're not exactly on the 'healthy' side. But don't despair! Because I might just have THE recipe for you.
Chocolate Chip cookies - healthified
For a batch of cookies you will need:
This recipe is as easy as it gets. Slice up your ripe, sweet banana and toss it into a bowl alongside all of the other ingredients.
Now mix it all together until you have a nice, sticky ball of goodness.
Depending on the size you want your cookies to be either take a tea-spoon or a table spoon and place individual heaps on a baking tray.
Almost done. Put them in the oven at around 150°C for 10-15 Minutes. It really depends on the size of the cookies and on how you dry you want them to be.
And there you have it! Your very own, healthy Chocolate Chips cookies! They taste amazing with a glass of almond milk.
But keep in mind that they don't keep too long - it's banana after all. Eat them within 1-2 days :)
If you're using Weight Watchers, this batch of cookies has around 5 ProPoints.

Stracciatella Shake
I'm in the mood for something sweet. Anyone else?
How about a Stracciatella Shake - healtyfied?
For this shake you need:
This isn't even a real recipe cause it's so easy.
Throw everything into a blender ... (Here without the Almond-Milk yet) and mix it up. The protein powder gives it a nice foamy texture.
Instead of using chocolate we are using raw Kakao Nibs. This is basically chocolate in its pure form, without the added fats, sugars and milk. It's a bit bitter and tastes more like coffee beans, but it still has that dark chocolate taste and have health benefits!
In the end you're left with a delicious, sweet shake. You could also skip the Almond-Milk and use frozen banana and you would have yourself some vegan stracciatella ice-cream :D
If you use WeightWatchers, one big shake like this has around 4 ProPoints.

Healthified: Chicken Nuggets with Fries and Ketchup.
I love fastfood as much as the next girl. But we all know that fastfood is not exactly helping with weightloss. So, just as I did with my Turkey Burger before, I came up with a version for Chicken Nuggets with Fries and Ketchup - healthified.
For this recipe you will need:
We will start with the Fries. I discovered a Turkish store in town with a huge selection of amazing fruits and vegetables. Last week they had this HUMONGOUS squash witch they sold in slices, so I got a piece.
Begin by cutting the squash into frie-sized pieces.
Put them in a bowl and add some olive oil and spices. I used Paprika, garlic powder and tomato-mozzarella spice.
Next cut your chicken breast into nugget sized pieces.
Go to work on them with a meat tenderizer.
Mix a bit of almond flour with spices and salt and coat the pieces. You won't be using all of the flour - but don't re-use it since it got in contact with raw chicken meat.
Put the fries and the nuggets into the oven, around 150° C - 180° C for about 25-30 Minutes.
Now for the vegetables! Cut off some broccoli and steam it for about 20 Minutes. I have a steamer but you can do it any way you like or boil it.
Next we will make some extra vegetables. Cut the mushrooms and fry them in a pan with a bit of love oil.
Clean and cut the spinach and the shallot.
Since the spinach will be done very quickly wait till the mushrooms are almost done before adding it. Season with salt and spices to your liking.
Now for the Ketchup: Chop up a red bellpepper and a clove of carlic. With a bit of water put them in a blender until you have a nice sauce before pouring in a pot.
By the time your Nuggets and Fries are done ...
... your Mushrooms should be done, too ...
... so should your brokkoli ...
... and your ketchup.
Arrange everything and serve!
There you have it: Chicken Nuggets with Fries and Ketchup - healthified.
