Raw vegan berry cheese cake! Enjoy 🥰
Crust:
*2dl (200ml) pecan nuts, soaked or as they are
*2dl soft dates, pitted
*0,5dl (50ml) raw cacao nibs
*pinch of sea salt
✔️Start by pulsing through pecan nuts, cacao nibs and sea salt low speed, I like them crunchy, you can blend them to dough like texture if that suits you better. If your blender is not very powerful, I recommend using a food processor.
✔️Add the pitted dates, again pulse through low speed. It does´t matter if the dates stay in small bits either, so no need to burn your blender off. The result is still very good!
✔️The crust makes yummy bliss balls too, you can use this as it is or add your favourite flavours in! Also you can use different nuts, vanilla, superfoods and berry powders.
✔️Place a parchment paper on the bottom of springform cake mould. This will help you move the cake when it´s ready. Then tap the crust on the mould. You can put it to fridge to cool down while making the filling, but it is not wrong if you don´t!

✔️ What you eat determines how full you feel.
✔️ This is because foods affect fullness differently.
✔️ For example, you need fewer calories to feel full from boiled potatoes or oatmeal than from ice cream or a croissant.
✔️ Foods that are filling can ward off hunger and help you eat less at the next meal.
✔️ For this reason, these types of foods should help you lose weight in the long run.
✔️ Filling foods tend to have certain characteristics, such as being high in protein or fiber.
✔️ These types of foods tend to score high on a scale called the satiety index.

Peanut Butter Banana Bites - 50 Calories🍫This simple 4 ingredient recipe is below. Perfect for summertime snacking... especially if you have a sweet toot 🥰
⠀
⠀
Make a batch this week and keep them in the freezer so you can grab one whenever you need a treat
⠀
⠀
INGREDIENTS
*3 ripe bananas
*1/3 cup natural peanut butter
*1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
*2 teaspoons coconut oil
⠀
⠀
INSTRUCTIONS
✔️ Peel and slice bananas into rounds about 1/4 inch thick.
✔️ Line a platter or small baking sheet with parchment paper. Place about 1/2 teaspoon of on a banana slice and top with another banana slice to make a little banana peanut butter sandwich. Keep doing this until all banana slices are used and you have about 30 bites. Place bites on two plates and place in the freezer to harden for about 1 hour.
✔️ Once banana bites have been in the freezer for over an hour, melt your chocolate by adding chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute, stir and microwave in additional 30 second increments until chocolate is completely melted. This shouldn’t take more than 2 minutes of microwave time.
✔️ Once chocolate is melted, remove one platter of your frozen banana bites from the freezer. Dip each frozen bite into the melted so that half of each bite is coated.
✔️ Place chocolate covered bites back on the parchment lined platter. Place back in freezer to harden up, grab your second platter and continue until all the bites have been dipped. Let both platters of chocolate covered bites harden in the freezer for about 15 minutes.
✔️ At this point you’re ready to enjoy or you can transfer the bites into a freezer safe storage container for later. They should last a least 1-2 months in the freezer.
✔️ When you store the banana bites for a longer period of time, they can get pretty hard so you’ll want to take them out the freezer and let them thaw for about 5 minutes before eating.

Many people believe that in order to lose weight, you need to starve yourself. After all, you gain weight by eating too much. So, it totally makes sense that if you eat very little then you will lose those kilos. But, that’s the worst possible thing you can do.

If you’re serious about losing body fat, don’t starve yourself. Starving yourself is bad for weight loss. While it might seem counter-intuitive, you need to eat to lose fat. Starving yourself is bad for weight loss and bad for your overall health. Eat small, healthy meals throughout the day to keep your metabolism working, workout, and you will lose weight.

⏰ It's really easy to overeat at the best of times, never mind when you find yourself stuck at home.⁣
⁣
🤷‍♀️ So what can you do to ensure you're not eating too much (and therefore feeling rubbish in yourself further down the line when your jeans feel too snug).⁣

Sometimes the word 'diet' can actually be the problem.⁣⁣ Think about it.

If you're someone who has been on many diets but never really achieved success, why would a new diet be any different?

⁣⁣How about saying "I'm working on a new lifestyle" instead?⁣⁣ :)
