Healthy Mac and Cheese

March 15, 2016 By thetastyk

I’ve been wanting to share the recipe for this super tasty mac and cheese for a while now. It’s so delicious, super simple to make and the result is amazing. The texture is just perfectly creamy and it tastes heavenly! In the past weeks it has become one of my favourite dishes and I have been eating it a lot lately! To achieve the real mac and cheese experience it really is crucial to get the amounts of the different ingredients right in order to master the perfect cheesy flavour. I’m super happy with the result and hope you’ll be too!

Chocolate Fudge Balls

March 13, 2016 By thetastyk

If you’re a chocolate lover and looking for a super simple sugar-free afternoon treat, this one is for you! These chocolate fudge beauties are just amazing! You can coat them with basically anything you like and they taste delicious. My favourite choices are desiccated coconut, rolled oats, cacao powder, crushed goji berries, flax seeds, crushed nuts and matcha powder (if you like the strong matcha taste you’ll like it, if not, it’s probably not for you). The best thing about them is that it only takes a second to whip them up for a quick snack and you can make a huge bulk and just store them in an air tight container in the fridge!

Rainbow Summer Rolls

March 11, 2016 By thetastyk

One of my all time favorites are these delicious rainbow summer rolls. They are so simple to make and you can just stuff in all the ingredients you like. They are the perfect snack for when it’s hot outside or when you need a quick but energizing lunch because they are loaded with fresh greens, fruits, and healthy fats. I like to fill them with avocado, lettuce, carrots, cucumber, red cabbage, papaya/mango and pomegranate seeds, but basically, I always end up just using whatever fresh I have in the fridge. I love to dip them into peanut sauce but you could also just mix up a spicy vegan mayonnaise or simply soy or teriyaki sauce.

Fluffy Lemon cake

March 9, 2016 By thetastyk

Lemon cakes have always been one of my favourite cakes (apart from German-style cheesecakes), just because they are so refreshing, moist and I reaaaaally love lemons! The recipe for this one is so simple but at the same time so delicious that I can’t wait to share it with you. Especially the combination of cashew-lemon frosting on top adds some extra freshness to it, and is much healthier than regular icing sugar coatings. It’s the perfect cake to bring to birthday parties (because it’s also very pretty) or just any regular afternoon treat!

Zucchini Tater Tots

March 8, 2016 By thetastyk

Growing up mostly in Germany, my childhood memories unfortunately don’t include tater tots. I just recently stumbled across several recipes on social media and immediately fell in love with them because of their shape and just how simple they are to make. Also, tater tots are a really good alternative for eating fries and I can’t wait to experiment with different kinds of potatoes and veggies to create the tastiest tater tots versions ever! What’s great about this recipe is that you really just need 4 ingredients: potatoes, zucchinis, spices and olive oil. Also, baking the tater tots instead of frying them saves lots of unnecessary calories and not only makes them super crispy but also gives it a much richer taste in my opinion. Enjoy them with ketchup or any other dips you like (I had macadamia-basil pesto and beetroot-radish mayonnaise)!

Chocolate Caramel Truffles

March 6, 2016 By thetastyk

I’ve made these chocolate caramel truffles several times by now and wanted to share the recipe for a while because they are just so simple to make yet so delicious. They are the perfect afternoon snack and super easy to take to work if you’re in a rush. If you want you can add some sea- or Himalayan salt on top to give it an extra flavour. Keep them in the refrigerator or freezer and eat either chilled or let them soften a bit at room temperature!

Red Rice Sushi

March 4, 2016 By thetastyk

Who doesn’t love sushi? Personally, I could surely eat sushi every day! Most of the times I enjoyed eating it in restaurants but since I discovered how easy it is to make at home, I’m a big fan. Especially since you can just put all of your favourite veggies inside. If you’re looking for an alternative to the regular one, you’re gonna love this healthy red rice sushi! I used red rice instead of the normal white sushi rice because it gives it a really nice flavour and makes it even more healthy. For the fillings, avocado, sweet potato, cucumber, vegan cream cheese and carrots are my favourites but feel free to adjust it according to your taste! 🙂

Pecan Banana Pancakes

March 2, 2016 By thetastyk

On some days, I wake up so hungry that green smoothies and acaí bowls just don’t cut it and my body is craving for something else! On these days (or any other day), a stack of pancakes always helps! These beauties are so unbelievably delicious and perfect for a lazy Sunday morning or weekend brunch. They are super simple to make, you basically just throw all the ingredients in a bowl and mix them together. Instead of the pecan nuts you can also just throw in some chocolate chips or walnuts, but personally I really loved this combination. If you don’t want to use caramelised pecans, just buy natural ones (or caramelise them yourself with maple syrup). Add as many fruits and maple syrup as you want an enjoy!

Banana Walnut Bread

February 24, 2016 By thetastyk

I’ve always considered banana bread as one of the basics. What’s great about it is that it’s not as sweet as normal cake, so you can easily eat a few slices for breakfast with some creamy nut butter on it without feeling too heavy. This recipe has been a huge success at last week’s birthday celebrations so I had to share it! It’s super fluffy inside and the combination of banana and walnuts is just delicious. It’s a great treat to bring to a party or brunch and wonderfully simple to make!

UPDATE: I made the same exact recipe a few days ago as a cake and just covered it with a dark chocolate layer (with more walnuts and bananas on top) and it was delicious! If you keep it in the fridge a little it’ll still be incredibly moist and fluffy inside and together with the dark chocolate it’s an even better combination! You must try this!!

Vegan Twix Bars

February 23, 2016 By thetastyk

These vegan Twix bars are such a winner! One of the favourite sweet treats that I’ve made so far. The combination of coconut base and gooey date caramel inside gives it such a delicious taste, I could easily eat 5-6 of them at once! Plus they are super easy to make. I like to prepare a huge box and store them in the freezer because I like the caramel layer a bit more firm, but that’s up to your taste! I’ve been eating them for the past 2 weeks almost every day, as they go great with my afternoon cup of tea (or coffee). Now that I finished all of them (with the kind help of my boyfriend), it’s time to make another round! 🙂
