Dinner Idea 2

I had the last bunch of spinach at home and wanted to cook them in a creative way, so this casserole dish was born. It's a complete dish because it provides carbs from the potatoes, proteins from the besciamella sauce and vitamins from the spinach.

All I did was chop the peeled potatoes and steam them just enough to be able to poke them with a knife.
I then made the vegan besciamella sauce by mixing a tablespoon of melted butter with unsweetened soy milk, some fleur (added to thinken the sauce)and nutmeg and salt and cooking it on the stove until thick and creamy.
I then added the potatoes, fresh spinach and besciamella to the casserole and baked in the oven at 180 C degrees for about 20 minutes.

 
I used 4 large potatoes, 500g of fresh spinach, and eyeballed the ingredients for the besciamella.

With very poor and simple ingredients I put together dinner for 4 people and everyone really enjoyed. :)

Recipe: Chocolate cake

 
This weekend was really stressful and the upcoming week is going to be as well, so I decided to treat myself to a healthy vegan chocolate cake.
It's such a simple cake, made of just 5 ingredients, and with such low caloric content per slice that's gonna energize you for the morning without making you feel sluggish and guilty.
 
 
Ingredients:
- 170g whole wheat fleur
- 130g brown sugar
- 50g unsweetened cacao
- 250ml oat milk
- 1 packet of yeast (16g more or less)


Preheat the oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350-360 faranheit).
Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl and mix them well. Add the milk and stir well until it forms an homogeneous mixture. Put in a lined baking tray and cook in the oven for about 25 minutes.
Let cool and it's ready to eat!

It's perfect for a special afternoon tea or for an energizing morning breakfast or pre-workout snack!
My favourite is to dip the slice into a hot cappuccino and eat it with a side of fresh strawberries: DELICIOUS!
