Gingershot

Everyone at work started to get sick – and eventually I felt it as well, so I decided to make a gingershot to try and fight the cold that was about to hit me!

You need:

• An airtight bottle
• About 150-200 g of Ginger (depending on size of the bottle)
• Juice from 1-2 lemons
• (5-8 garlic cloves if you don’t mind the risk of bad breath, could take it in the evening rather than morning)

Measure up water in the bottle you want to use. Put that water in a saucepan and boil it together with the ginger (and garlic) that you have grated and squeeze in the lemon juice.

Strain the water so you get all the bits away and fill up the bottle. Let us stay outside of the fridge until it has gone relatively cold. Keep in the fridge for about 2 weeks.

I take a big shot of this every morning – definitely helping me to keep the cold away!

 

Banana Bread

This is a vegan (can be made glutenfree) banana bread!

This recipe is adapted from this and will yield one loaf.

• 175 g oats (you need to make this into oatflour with a mixer, and to make it glutenfree, use glutenfree oats)
• 2 mashed up very ripe bananas
• 0.75 tsp of baking soda
• 1 tsp of bicarbonate soda
• 1 tsp of cinnamon
• 1 tsp of sea salt (can use regular salt as well)
• 1.5 tsp of vanilla powder (can be substituted with 1 tsp of vanilla essence)
• 50 ml of vegetable milk of choice (I used oatmilk)
• 50 ml of coconut oil (better if it is liquified)
• 50 ml of agave syrup
• 1.5 tbsp of white wine vinegar
• FOR LESS HEALTHY, BUT TASTY, EFFECT – add 100 ml of dark vegan chocolate

How to:

1. Put the oven on 175 degrees.
2. Mix the oats into meal and mash the bananas.
3. add all the ingredients into the mixer, but the chocolate, and then mix the batter smooth. Lastly add the chocolate, but mix them in with a spoon.
4. put parchment paper in a baking pan (for bread) and add the batter.
5. keep it in the oven for 35 minutes, and then turn the oven off and leave the bread in for 10-15 minutes. The bread can be put in the fridge (where I prefer it as it makes the chocolate in it crunchy), or outside.

Overnight oats!

This is one of my favourite breakfasts, the only thing is that you need to remember to prepare it on the evening and leave it in the fridge over night.

You will need:

• 30 gram of oats (Use glutenfree is allergic)
• 1 tbsp of chiaseeds
• 1 tbsp of flax seeds
• a splash of vegetable milk, I use rice (Only just so all the oats and seeds are covered, better to use to less than too much, you can always add a little in the morning)
• Some frozen fruit or berries of choice, I use strawberries or raspberries (if following FODMAP ensure they are in line with that)
• a container with a lid and a fridge

How to

• Mix all the ingredients and put it in the fridge in the evening
• DONE

sorry for the bad pics – I am working on that
