KETO VEGAN ICE-CREAM DONUTS by @charissa_and_co_wellness ____________________________________ Within this low sugar recipe, I added yacon syrup, but please note you can also use Xylitol as a low calorie sweetener, I just prefer Yacon. It tastes to me more natural and it is more a ‘natural sugar’ to me. Because a large part of yacon syrup isn't digested, it has only a third of the caloric value of sugar, about 133 calories per 100 grams, or 20 calories per tablespoon, so for this reason, it can be used as a low-calorie alternative to sugar. ________________________________ Within this recipe, i used Vanilla plant based protein powder, the smooth vanilla taste and texture goes really well within this recipe. The pink colour is from sprinkling a bit of my superfood powder in the end after blending to give a bit or colour and added superfood goodness. ___________________________________ CLEAN LEAN PROTEIN: From @nuzest_singapore is delicious in smooth vanilla, this protein is not only free from gluten, dairy, soy and GMOs, but high in protein yet low in carbs, sugar and fat. It’s 100% vegetable & high in easy digestible protein ———————————— Use promo code "Charissa_W10” to get 10% off your order : https://www.nuzest.sg ——————————— DM: FOR MORE ON THE RECIPE. __________________________________ #healthandwellness #raspberry #instastory #charissa_and_co_wellness #vegan #veganblog #veganstory #feedfeed #recipe #recipeshare #foodsg #foodie #nutritionschool #personalcoach #feedfeedvegan #healthandwellnesscoach #vegan_share #healthandwellnesscoach #smoothie #receitasfit #postworkout #preworkout #plantprotein #smoothieshare #smoothiebowls #rawfood #nuzest (at Asia/Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzrAbdFnaLQ/?igshid=dvc5qz8salu8

SEEDED CHAI & SUNFLOWER BREAD by @charissa_and_co_wellness ——————————————————— Delicious easy flat bread, no oil, no grains, I also made this as a nut free alternative. Some of us might find that certain plant compounds are not as easily digested as others, this makes us all unique, therefore it is finding what works for you. It is always imperative to make sure your nuts and seeds are pre-soaked or already store bought activated as this allows for the body to absorb the nutrients from the nuts or seeds, a super easy alternative if you don’t have time is to buy your activated seeds or nuts already, but bear in mind when making this “bread” you would still need to pre-soak the chai seeds as this and the zucchini is your binding (wet) agent. https://www.charissaandco.com/soaking-dehydrating ——————————————————— The use of sunflower seeds allows for a bit of a nutty flavour, this is ideal for times when you are looking to opt for nut-free versions, Sunflower seeds are especially high in vitamin E and selenium. ——————————————————— These function as antioxidants to protect your body’s cells against free radical damage, that can lead to DNA age-related diseases. ——————————————————— Flavonoids are also present and other plant compounds that work together in reducing inflammation in the body. ——————————————————— Grab your own Nut milk bag from Ellie’s Best, use code “charissa” to receive 10% off your order http://elliesbest.myshopify.com?afmc=charissa&utm_campaign=charissa&utm_source=leaddyno&utm_medium=affiliate ——————————————————— #healthandwellness #superfood #instastory #charissa_and_co_wellness #vegan #veganblog #veganstory #feedfeed #recipe #recipeshare #foodsg #foodie #nutritionschool #personalcoach #feedfeedvegan #lowgi #vegan_share #vegan #berries #receitasfit #postworkout #preworkout #plantprotein #smoothieshare #smoothiebowls #rawfood (at Asia/Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvIpQJ7hDPq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=uovvror60e2l
