Crispbread Recipe
CRISPBREAD
Crisp bread (hard bread) is a dry, flat type of bread, usually quite thin. It’s high in fiber, light and if bought in the store it keeps for a very long time, however, if you make it from scratch it will keep for about a week, or you could store them in the freezer in a sealed container for longer.
This is a great replacement for bread, it doesn’t make you feel to full or bloated. You can pretty much eat it with any topping you like.
We made some tuna salad to go along with it, recipe here.
The mix is easy to make but a bit more time consuming to bake.
Recipe:
- 1,5 Cups of Oatmeal
- 2 Cups of Rye meal
- 1/2 Cup Pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 Cup Sesame seeds
- 1/2 Cup Flax seeds
- 2,5 Cups of water (you can add more if the dough is to dry)
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (170 C)
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl, but add the water last. Stir until mixed well.
- Place baking paper on a oven tray
- Pour the mixture on the baking paper and use the back of a spoon or a spatula to even it out.
- Use a pizza knife to cut the squares however big or small you’d like to have them
- Bake for 40 minutes in the middle of the oven.
- After 40 minutes open the over door for 10 minute (with the crispbread still inside)
- When the 10 minutes are up close the door and bake for another 15 minutes.
When done take the crispbread out and set aside until cooled completely. That will make them crispy. Enjoy!
Green Almond Milk Smoothie
We’ve all tried making a smoothie, and there are so many ways of making one fruits, veggies, milk and so on. There are so many people out there that like to experiment with this but there are also the majority of you who don’t.
You go to your grocery store and most people go for the easy pick, the pre-cut frozen smoothie mixes, i know i used to. When you get home you throw it in the mixer along with milk or yoghurt, some people even add sugar. My friend made me a smoothie once that had tons of sugar in it, and to top it all of she then added a big dash of whipped cream on top, yuck!
Then there are the people who like to add green’s in their smoothies, like we do! YUM! When i first started making green juice or green smoothies, people would look at me like “what is she doing”, but then they had a taste and i could tell their mind was racing trying to figure out all the different flavors and why this drink tastes so good, when all you have is raw fruits and vegetables.
My absolute favorite ingredient is Kale, it’s packed with all kinds of vitamin’s, iron, nutrients, calcium the list goes on! We’ll post All you need to know about Kale later today, but now i wanna tell you about this smoothie!
