The best healthy crepes

September 24, 2016

Just as every American blog needs a proper pancake recipe, I think that every German health blog needs at least one amazing healthy crepes recipe, don’t you agree. Crepes bring back major childhood memories, because they were my favorite lunch dish when I was younger. Since I loved them so much, my mom quickly developed a way to make them healthier, and she was also the one that taught me to use sparkling water in crepes and pancake recipes as it makes the batter so much fluffier and lighter. Of course regular crepes contain eggs, so if you eat and like eggs, you may very well use an egg in this recipe. I, however, like them without eggs and I can confidently say that these healthy crepes can compete with regular crepes at many levels….

Homemade Amaranth Pecan Granola Bars

September 17, 2016

This is the first ever homemade granola bar recipe on the blog, and it’s not any granola bar recipe – it’s homemade amaranth pecan granola bars. I made these for my upcoming mother-daughter trip to the States tomorrow as granola bars are the perfect healthy snack for traveling. I really cannot wait to spend some quality time with my mom, read lots of books and say hi to my second home again. It’s been too long. There’s gonna be lots of WholeFoods shopping, country music and Southern iced tea and biking along the Florida coast. But before I go, I’ve got this wonderful recipe to share with you. …

Plum Cake with Buckwheat & Spelt Dough

September 10, 2016

I’ve had some exciting few weeks, which is why it has been a bit quiet on the recipe side, but today, I’d like to introduce you to a German specialty: plum cake with buckwheat & spelt dough. The original dough is obviously not made with buckwheat or spelt, but normal white flour, but white flour isn’t really nutritious, so whole-wheat it is. Germans eat their plum cake with a yeast dough – now, this might seem very strange to non-Germans, but trust me, it’s divine. The dough is similar to that of bread: flour, yeast, almond milk and a bit of coconut oil, and you simply top it with fruit, but you normally only see it with plums, or damsons, a special and very sweet kind of plum that we get over here. …

Healthy Eating in London Vlog

September 6, 2016

So today I’d like to announce a special day for my blog: I am launching my first ever Vlog. If you are not familiar with the term “Vlog”, don’t worry, I did not know it before either. My boyfriend came to me the other day, and was outraged by a magazine cover that in his opinion misspelled the word “Blog”. So I introduced him to the term “Vlog”, which is nothing other than an abbreviation for Video-Blog. If you’ve known this term for a while and I am boring you already, then please forgive me, but some of us are just not able to keep up with the fast changing media, blogging and social media inventions. Anyway, this is my first attempt on “Vlogging”, and I am not really sure if I’ll keep it up. But this blog is my baby, and so I thought I’d give it a try and see how it goes. …

Healthy Eating in London – Restaurants, Delis & Cafés

August 31, 2016

Last weekend my sisters and I went on a Healthy Eating in London journey. We hadn’t spent a sister vacation in forever, so since my sister studied in the UK, we thought we’d pay London another visit, since it had been a while since we’d last been there. Healthy eating in London is definitely not hard, because as you’ll see in this post, there’s a healthy food place on every corner. Of course food was not our number one priority, but with me running this blog and being a serious healthy foodie, of course it ended up being quite a healthy food trip anyways. But we also went shopping, biked through the entire city, went to a musical and even spent two days with my sister’s flatmate’s family outside of London in the most idyllic countryside I’ve ever seen. All in all, it was a wonderful trip, and I am glad we took the time to do something like this together. As we all live away from each other, we don’t get to spend quality time together that often, so this was much needed sister-bonding.

I’m strolling though London with my sisters today, but I nevertheless prepared this blueberry bircher muesli parfait with coconut yoghurt so you can add another recipe to your To-Do list or save the bazillions-th recipe to Pinterest. I realized, that there’s actually not that many breakfast recipes on the blog yet, so I’ll try to come up with more creative ways to start the day in the near future. …
