Gluten free Brownies

I absolutely LOVE this new Cellular Healing Diet recipe, and so does my 7 year old daughter. She is still amazed that you cannot even taste the black beans in it. It’s so easy to make too! If you have a vitamix, throw all the ingredients in and blend on medium until well mixed.

Black Bean Brownies:
1 can black beans, drained
1/2 cup raw organic cocoa powder
4 Tbls organic coconut oil
1/2 cup xylitol
2 tsp stevia powder
1 tsp organic vanilla extract
3 large organic free range eggs
1/2 cup vanilla whey protein powder (recommend Paleomeal)
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup water

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Blend all ingredients together. Grease brownie pan with a little coconut oil. Pour mixture into pan and bake for 25-30 minutes.

*Can add chopped organic walnuts or pecans on top or organic dark chocolate shavings for extra flavor! Enjoy!!!

 

Healthy Ice Cream Alternative: Coconut Milk Ice Cream

I have recently had many clients ask about ice cream options… and I continue to brag about an amazing new line up of an excellent product that meets our cellular healing diet needs: The So Delicious Brand Coconut Milk Ice Cream! It’s incredible, and the one with no sugar added is an extra bonus because it can be consumed in moderation on Phase I of the Healing Diet Plan. There are a variety of flavors: Vanilla Bean, Toasted Almond Chip, Chocolate, Mint Chip, and Butter Pecan. You can learn more about the product by visiting the So Delicious Website. The product is made from Coconut Milk so it is dairy free and it has healthy fat from the Coconut Milk.

No Sugar Added Vanilla Bean

So what’s so great about Coconut anyway? Here’s just a few of the many benefits of coconut consumption:

  • Coconut consuming cultures around the world have lower incidence of heart disease than Americans
  • Lauric acid exists abundantly in coconut and plays a fundamental role in building our body’s immune system. Once in our system it transforms into an antibacterial and antiviral substance called “monolaurin” which destroys viruses and diseases and plays a vital role in nourishing and protecting us from infections
  • MCFAs (Medium Chain Fatty Acids) found in Coconut promote weight maintenance without raising cholesterol levels. They work best for preventing weight gain if you’re not overweight or maintaining your new weight after a successful eating plan
  • Helps protect against kidney disease and bladder infections and dissolves kidney stones
  • Supports healthy thyroid function and promotes loss of excess weight by increasing metabolic rate
  • Is utilized by the body to produce energy in preference to being stored as body fat like other dietary fats which helps prevent obesity and overweight problems
  • Boosts energy and endurance, enhancing physical and athletic performance
  • Improves digestion and absorption of other nutrients including vitamins, minerals, and amino acids
  • Improves insulin secretion and utilization of blood glucose and helps relieve symptoms and reduce health risks associated with diabetes
  • Relieves stress on pancreas and enzyme systems of the body and reduces symptoms associated with pancreatitis
  • Improves calcium and magnesium absorption and supports the development of strong bones and teeth which helps protect against osteoporosis
  • Helps relieve symptoms associated with gallbladder disease
  • Relieves symptoms associated with Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and stomach ulcers and improves digestion and bowel function 
  • Reduces inflammation and supports tissue healing and repair
