Strawberry Jam and Flax Pancakes

Strawberry Jam and Flax Pancakes

Seriously the best breakfast I've EVER made!! EVER!! :)

Strawberry Jam:
1 -2 punnets of strawberries
2-3 tablespoons of chia seeds (depends on how thick you want it)
1 tablespoon of water
Optional: 1-2 drops of liquid stevia or nativa (to sweeten, i didn't add any to mine, i found the strawberries sweet enough)

What to do:
Chop the strawberries into small pieces, place in a saucepan with he water, leave to cook for about 30mins, until all the pieces have really softened and the mixture has gone thick.Take off the head and allow for it to cool, once cooled slightly add the chia seeds and stir thoroughly.
Pour the jam into air tight containers and place in the fridge, after a few hours the jam will have become thick and delicious.... its just that easy! and you can do that with pretty much any fruit that's in season! :)

 

Now.... the Pancake!

What you'll need: (serves one)
1/2 cup of egg whites (i used the ones in the carton, found in the milk section)
2 tablespoons of flaxseed meal
Optional: 1-2 drops of liquid stevia or nativa (to sweeten)
coconut oil for cooking

What to do:
Preheat a nonstick pan with a little coconut oil to medium heat. Mix the egg whites, flax-seed meal and the sweetener with a stick blender or by hand if you don't have a blender of some kind, until the mixture is a bit frothy and thick (the flax-seed meal will thicken up quickly), then pour into a pan and leave to cook for about 3-4 minutes each side or until its cooked and golden.
Then take off the heat and serve with the strawberry jam, greek yogurt, and of course a little peanut butter! :p ...... seriously the best breakfast ive ever had!

Enjoy! ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤❤ ❤

Meat and veggie balls

Meat and veggie balls

What you'll need:
500gms minced meat (i used beef but u can use chicken or pork)
1 carrot shredded/grated
1 zucchini shredded/grated
bunch of parsley chopped
1 egg
1/2 tsp of cumin
1 red onion finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic crushed


What to do:
Pre heat the oven to 180degrees and line a baking tray or 2.
In a large bowl add the mince, onion, garlic, egg, parsley, spices and egg and set aside.
With the carrot and zucchini you will need to squeeze the moisture out, so using a clean tea towel place the grated veggies in the middle and grab the corners of the towel and wring the veggies out, u will notice a fair bit of liquid comes out as these are juicy vegetables.
When u cant get much more liquid out, add to the bowl of mince. Mix thoroughly (i used my hands) until its all well combined. then roll into little balls, u can make them however big or small you like, place on the baking trays and pop in the oven for about 20 -25mins.
Take out once they're golden brown.
 

 I served mine with some zucchini spaghetti and kale and broccoli :)
