Ideas for healthy desserts

A former colleague used to watch cooking shows on TV in the sleepless nights and often said he did not understand these recipes fruit-based desserts loaded with sugar.

If the fruit is already delicious in itself, what need is there to transform it and, above all, add sugar to sweeten it more? For that reason, I thought it would be interesting to pick up some ideas for healthy desserts.

But what is a healthy dessert? Most desserts are usually prepared from sugar (and lots), butter and / or refined flour than just provide nutrients to the body but a lot of empty calories.

For a dessert is healthy, it does not necessarily have to be low in calories, but at least it should bring you nutrients your body may need.

Healthy desserts with wholemeal flour

What if instead of using refined flour in nutrients--poor, you use whole wheat flour? It may equally fattening but at least you'll be taking advantage of the nutrients lost in the refining of white flour.

If you are taking supplements of bran, you should know that this is one of the elements that are removed when processing cereals for refined products. Move to wholemeal even in desserts, only note that wholemeal flour does not absorb liquids as refined, so we recommend using something less than that of refined wheat flour indicated by the recipe.

I leave a link to a yogurt cake recipe with whole wheat flour; It is like the recipe we have at home but changing the flour and white sugar whole wheat flour and brown sugar.

The use of brown sugar will not make the least caloric and healthier recipe, so I recommend you simply use less sugar than indicated in the recipe; the cake will be less sweet but it sure is rich.

Fruit, Queen of healthy desserts

Such is the variety of fruits to choose from that there is no excuse not to take fruit for dessert, although we must bear in mind that the fruit loses some of its properties during digestion along with other foods. In these cases, the digestive process is longer and fruit ferments in the stomach may cause digestive discomfort. Hence it is always recommended to take it alone.

But if you do not feel bad, the fruit does not stop being a great dessert. Now that we are in strawberry season, what need to bathe them in a pile of whipped cream loaded with sugar and fat, if they are as sweet and delicious by itself? [You can see the main nutrients of whipped cream clicking on the link].

Fruit salad

In addition to taking the fruit as it is, we can also make a fruit salad.
  • It is a very handy dessert and varied, as is mixing different pieces of fruit, which we like, which we have at home, ranging from fruits depending on the season.
  • If you add a little lemon juice, powers the fruit flavor and also avoid vitamin loss that often occurs with oxidation.
  • You can also add low-fat, or non-drinkable yogurt, for a different dessert.
  • And although it is not necessary to add sugar if you add a pinch (without going over) and let it stand at room temperature, fruit juice loose and make a sweet syrup.
Another way to prepare fruit for dessert is skewered format. You can be chopped with molds which are used to make cookies and get an original, tasty and healthy dessert.

Chocolate cake recipe

Chocolate is one of those foods that raises passions: tablet, ice cream, pies, but most desserts made with chocolate are also loaded with sugar. For that reason, I bring you a cake recipe extracted chocolate book M. Montignac "Montignac Diet", ideal for people who are dieting or who simply want to enjoy a dessert made of chocolate that contains no flour or sugar .

The recipe is for 6-8 people, but the times I've done at home has seemed a tad low for many or is there something I have not done well;).

Preparation time: 30 minutes, plus overnight refrigeration

Cooking time: 8 minutes

Ingredients
  • 310 g of black chocolate (70% cocoa) into pieces and 185 g more, to coat the cake
  • 10 large eggs with egg whites and yolks separated
Elaboration
  • Springform pan coated with a removable ovenable paper. The paper should protrude a few centimeters over the edge. Preheat oven to 250 ° C.
  • Place a large clean bowl over a pan of water to simmer, making sure the bowl does not contact the water. Place 310 g of chocolate in the bowl to melt (take about 15-20 minutes), stirring frequently.
  • Place the egg whites in a large bowl and, with electric rods, bátelas substantively snow.
  • Place the bowl with the melted chocolate a work surface. Whisk gently to incorporate the yolks to chocolate. Add a couple of tablespoons of egg whites and stir to mix well. Quickly and smoothly, go incorporating the remaining whites until the mixture has the consistency of a souffle or a light mousse. Do not overwork.
  • Pour the mixture into the pan and Bake exactly 8 minutes. [It is very important that the oven is hot before entering the mold]. Remove the pan from the oven and let cool 30 minutes then tuck in the fridge 12 hours or overnight.
  • Finally, remove the cake from the refrigerator and desmóldala on a large plate or a transparent film disposed on a flat surface. Covering the cake with a thin layer of chocolate. Cool it in the fridge 5 minutes. To serve, dip a sharp knife in hot water and cut portions.
Finally, if you are one of those people who likes baking, I leave a link to an article in which the role of these "less healthy" ingredients of the desserts are detailed and provide healthy alternatives to improve without sacrificing taste.

Do you know the trend 'raw food' or raw food?

When we hear 'raw food' we come to mind a number of issues. Already we do not eat meat or fish? And the pasta and rice? What about the bread?

The truth is that this eating style has more followers every day, and that raw food or 'viva' proposes eat plant foods subjected to more than 45 degrees. Why? In the cooking process they destroy about 80% of the vitamins and minerals from food. When we ate unprocessed products we benefit from the necessary nutrients, which is beneficial for our body. One of the main benefits is that raw foods contain enzymes that aid in digestion.

The raw food diet combines health benefits with environmental awareness. And, as detailed in the DKV Health Observatory and the Environment, a diet with less meat and more vegetables products (if possible near and seasonal) it is the best recipe to reduce our emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs ). At the same time, a diet is healthier as well.


What foods are included in the raw food diet?

Here you have a list of very healthy and compatible food in these types of diets:
  • Fruit
  • Vegetables
  • Nuts
  • Algae and germinated sprouts
  • Seeds
  • Fermented foods (cheese, yogurt, olives, wine, vinegar, cured salmon, etc.)
Disadvantages of raw food

But everything has its bad side. And here are the disadvantages of raw food. Any balanced diet should contain sufficient protein intake, and eating raw meat can have serious health problems.

Besides having special care in washing food, we must remember that raw foods have bacteria and parasites that can cause intestinal problems, and cooking is one of the safest cooking techniques to reduce the risk of poisoning.

One of the problems of these diets are deficient in vitamins B12 and D, iron and some omega 3. To fill this gap, should take supplements, because it is very difficult to obtain the necessary amount of these nutrients from food crudes.

The faithful followers of this diet claim that "no animal cooks its food." That's true, but neither need energy to develop their intellectual capacity. And that cooking food is opened to man the world of nutrients and calories. We must remember that our brain requires a lot of energy to function properly.

In short, talk about healthy diet is to talk about balance and variety. We should benefit from the properties of raw foods, but combining them with cooked food. Ideally, it feeds on a percentage of food 'raw' and eliminate as far as possible processed foods made from refined flour, soft drinks or highly pasteurized milk.

Recipes for raw food
  • One of the star recipes are famous smoothies or milkshakes to fruit and vegetables. Try mixing all kinds of green leafy vegetables (lettuce, spinach, chard, leeks, celery, carrot leaves) and fruits (strawberries, oranges, bananas, pineapple, etc.)
  • Vegetable pasta - spaghetti squash. It is a curious and recommended for children to eat vegetables with a very similar to that of one of his favorite dishes aesthetics, spaghetti dish. It's as simple as cutting zucchini with a cutter or grater to make them thin strips of zucchini us. To cook, you can cook the strips for 1 minute or sauté with a tablespoon of oil in the pan to soften. On the other hand we can make a tomato sauce or cut different vegetables and mix with the zucchini strips (carrots, cherry tomatoes, avocado, etc.)
