The reason of today's post is quite big and it is divided into two. First, because having sweet, genuine people in my life is so marvelous... . Seeing them change (in terms of nutrition) makes me feel more than happy and grateful. All of this is a wonderful bliss - in honor of this change, I post my friend's recipe and photos (I got the copyright) :)

And secondly, the vast number of views on this delicious chocolate recipe, makes the perfect fit for an celebration.

Motivul articolului de astazi e destul de mare si e impartit in doua. In primul rand, pentru ca avand oameni dulci si autentici in viata mea este atat de minunat... .

Start your day right. That's my message. And here's your saturday treat to begin with. A delish breakfast packed with superfoods and fruits. Many of you maybe know the theory, at least you are familiar with it - don't eat fast food, fried food, pastries, bad fats, and so on - but if you not implement the theory in reality, your knowledge is useless. One of my favorite quotes says: "If you do what you always did, you'll get what you always got."

INGREDIENTE:

- 1/2 cana lapte de orez

- 1 banana

- 1 lingurita pudra Noni

- 1 lingura faina de canepa

- 1 lingura pudra iarba de grau

- 1 lingura cacao

- 1 lingurita turmeric (curcuma)

- 1 lingura seminte de chia

- 1 lingurita chimen negru Nigella sativa

Lista de proprietati si beneficii e nemarginita...

- o multime de antioxidanti, minerale, vitamine;

- ingrediente ce combat cancerul si alte boli (turmeric, chimen negru, Noni... );

- amplificator al sistemului imunitar, analgezic, antidepresiv, previne absorbtia LDL-ului, lupta impotriva infectiilor, mentine creierul sanatos, bogat in fibre, deci, previne constipatia, scade tensiunea arteriala, anti-tumoral, anti-cancer (este vorba despre pudra din fructul Noni).

I'm always on last minute doing things. Not a good example. But hopefully it's not too late for you to try this recipe. It's really easy to make and of course, healthy. If you are celebrating Christian orthodox Easter tomorrow, like I do, then this Chocolate Almond Egg is just perfect for you and your family, especially for kids. They shouldn't eat the common chocolate from supermarkets and you should know why. We are not born with the desire for chocolate. So neither the child won't claim it, never, only if he is used to it. At least until the child grows older and he can make his own choices, you do not need to create a habit, a bad habit, of eating chocolate and other sweets full of chemicals. Do something natural for your child, for you and your family.

INGREDIENTS for the egg:

- 50 g almond flour

- 20 g cacao powder

- 30 g maple syrup (or you can use honey)

INGREDIENTS for the chocolate:

- 2 TBSP cacao powder

- 1 TBSP melted coconut oil

INSTRUCTIONS:

In a bowl add the almond flour, cacao powder and maple syrup and mix well, until it becomes a sticky dough. And with your hands create the form of an egg and place it to the fridge.

TO MAKE THE CHOCOLATE:

In a bowl add the cacao powder.

Melt the coconut oil (usually is solid) a few seconds. 

Pour the coconut oil over the cacao and stir until it's creamy.

Take the egg from the fridge and pour the chocolate on top to cover it fully or partially.

Sunt intotdeauna pe ultima suta de metri. Nicidecum un bun exemplu. Dar sper ca nu e prea tarziu pentru tine sa incerci aceasta reteta. Este foarte usoara de facut si desigur, sanatoasa. Daca maine sarbatoresti Pastele ortodox, ca mine, atunci acest ou de ciocolata si migdale este perfect pentru tine si familia ta, mai ales pentru copii. Ei nu ar trebui sa manance ciocolata obisnuita din supermarket si tu ar trebui sa stii de ce. Noi nu ne-am nascut cu dorinta pentru ciocolata. Deci nici copilul nu va pretinde, niciodata, doar daca e obisnuit cu gustul. Cel putin pana creste si poate face propriile alegeri, nu-i crea un obicei, un obicei prost, de a manca ciocolata si alte dulciuri pline de chimicale. Fa ceva natural pentru copilul tau, pentru tine si familia ta.

INGREDIENTE pentru ou:

- 50 g faina de migdale

- 20 g pudra de cacao

- 30 g sirop de artar (sau poti folosi miere)

INGREDIENTE pentru ciocolata:

- 2 linguri pudra de cacao

- 1 lingurita ulei de cocos topit

INSTRUCTIUNI:

Intr-un bol adauga faina de migdale, pudra de cacao, siropul de artar si amesteca bine, pana devine un aluat lipicios. Si cu mainile creeaza forma unui ou (te joci precum o faci cu o plastilina) si il asezi in frigider.

PENTRU A FACE CIOCOLATA:

Intr-un bol adauga pudra de cacao.

Topeste uleiul de cocos (de obicei e solid) pentru cateva secunde.

Toarna uleiul topit peste cacao si amesteca pana devine cremos.

Scoate oul din frigider si toarna ciocolata deasupra, acoperindu-l in intregime sau partial.

Paste fericit! Happy Easter!

And you are done and done :) Enjoy!

Adauga totul in robotul de bucatarie si mixeaza. Si esti gata :)

Well, as a former enthusiastic lover of coconut - one of the greatest gifts on earth - I had to make the also known chocolate bar "Bounty". But of course in my own particular way. That it means: no sugar, no additives, nor artificial flavours. Nothing processed. Oh, and I changed the common form :)

Anything else? Should I say something about the amazing, mouth watering taste? I think words are not enough to describe such a simple, healthy and wholesome dessert. Or should I say how fast is prepared? I suppose you already know I don't like complicated things. So, enough talking around.

Serves: 4 cups

Prep time: 2-5 mins

INGREDIENTS:

- 1 cup shredded coconut

- 1 TBSP honey

- 1 TBSP melted coconut oil

- 1 TBSP raw cacao

- 1 TBSP carob

Put together in a bowl the shredded coconut and honey and mix. 

Press the mixture into pancake forms or your desired forms.

Warm coconut oil just until it is liquefied.

Pour it in another bowl where you add the raw cacao and carob and mix. 

Finally, spread the chocolate over coconut.

Place the coconut chocolate cups in the fridge for 1 hour.

Ei bine, ca o impatimita entusiasta a nucii de cocos - una dintre cele mai mari daruri pe pamant - a trebuit sa realizez bine-cunoscuta bara de ciocolata "Bounty". Dar, desigur, in felul meu special. Asta insemnand: fara adaos de zahar, fara aditivi, nici arome artificiale. Nimic procesat. Ah, si am schimbat putin forma sa comuna :)

Altceva? Ar trebui sa spun ceva despre gustul uimitor ce-ti lasa gura apa? Cred ca cuvintele nu sunt de ajuns pentru a descrie un astfel de desert simplu si sanatos. Sau ar trebui sa spun cat de usor se prepara? Presupun ca stiti deja ca nu-mi plac lucrurile complicate. Deci, destul cu vorbaria.

Servire: 4 cupe

Timp preparare: 2-5 minute

INGREDIENTE:

- 1 cana cocos tocat (miezul din nuca de cocos)

- 1 lingura miere

- 1 lingura ulei de cocos topit

- 1 lingura cacao cruda

- 1 lingura carob/pudra de roscove

INSTRUCTIUNI:

I have promised a few days ago on my facebook page a recipe. The most easy, delicious, healthy chocolate recipe :) So because I stirred up a little the curiosity and of course the senses, I had to put all the ingredients back together, take pictures and share with you guys. Hope you'll give it a try. Trust me, it's so worth it.

INGREDIENTS:

- 1 cup raw cacao (or 1/2 cup cacao and 1/2 carob)

- 1/2 cup or 1/3 cup melted coconut oil

- 1 TBSP honey (or maple syrup)

INSTRUCTIONS:

Usually the coconut oil is solid. So it has to be cooked a few seconds until it melts.

Then you add all the ingredients in a bowl and mix gently until well combined.

Pour the liquid chocolate in your desired shapes. I used muffin cups (first time) *

Place the chocolate cups on a plate and lay them in the fridge for 1 hour.

* Second time I used cute chocolate shapes (see the picture bellow)
*The benefits of cacao and coconut oil you can find here

Am promis acum cateva zile, pe pagina mea de facebook, o reteta. Cea mai usoara, sanatoasa si delicioasa reteta de ciocolata :) Deci, pentru ca am starnit putin curiozitatea si, desigur, simturile, a trebuit sa pun toate ingredientele la un loc, sa fac poze si sa impartasesc cu voi. Sper ca-i veti oferi o sansa. Credeti-ma, merita!

INGREDIENTE:

- 1 cana cacao cruda (sau 1/2 cana cacao si 1/2 carob - pudra de roscove)

- 1/2 cana sau 1/3 cana ulei de cocos topit

- 1 lingura miere (sau sirop de artar)

* Despre beneficiile cacaoai crude si a uleiului de cocos gasiti aici

INSTRUCTIUNI:

De obicei uleiul de cocos este solid. Astfel e necesara gatirea pentru cateva secunde pana cand se topeste.

Apoi adauga toate ingredientele intr-un bol si amesteca usor pana sunt bine combinate.

Se toarna compozitia rezultata (ciocolata lichida) in formele dorite. Eu am folosit cupe de briosa din carton (prima data) *

Aseaza cupele de ciocolata pe o farfurie si pune-le in frigider pentru o ora.

* A doua oara am folosit forme de ciocolata micute si dragute :)

So this is my very first post since 2015. And I had to start it in my own particular way: sunday morning, taking pictures, writing in bed - that's the stuff :) Moreover, get to make nourishing desserts and share with you guys, it's what makes me happy. I hope you enjoy my Snowballs be alike Raffaello. They come packed with goodies, all nourishing, and they lack of sugar, dairy, artificial flavorings.

On the other hand, are you enthusiastic about the New Year? Are you willing to challenge yourself? Are you willing to let go of the past and make a step outside of your confort zone? Are you grateful for the ups and downs that 2014 give you? I hope you are. Because I know I am. I am grateful for all the experiences I've been thru: disappointments, ups and downs, big changes, big challenges, things I never tried before and never thought I would. I've pushed my limits, I learned a lot of things and I grow. Thank you, 2014!
As for 2015? Like I said in previous post, let's make healthy choices, day by day, rather than resolutions. Let's be better TODAY.

Acesta, deci, este primul meu articol din 2015. Si a trebuit sa-l incep in felul meu propriu: duminica dimineata, fotografiere, scris in pat - ce lucruri :)  Mai mult decat atat, sa reusesc sa realizez deserturi sanatoase si sa le impartasesc cu voi, e ceea ce ma face fericita. Sper sa va placa "Bulgari de zapada"; sunt similari lui Raffaello :) Ei vin la pachet cu bunatati, toate hranitoare, si duc lipsa de zahar, lactate, arome artificiale.

Pe de alta parte, esti entuziasmat de Noul An? Esti dispus sa te supui provocarilor? Esti dispus sa renunti la trecut si sa faci un pas inafara zonei tale de confort? Esti recunoscator pentru suisurile si coborasurile pe care 2014 ti le-a oferit? Sper ca esti. Pentru ca stiu ca eu sunt. Sunt recunoscatoare pentru toate experientele prin care am trecut: dezamagiri, suisuri si coborasuri, mari schimbari, mari provocari, lucruri care nu le-am incercat niciodata inainte si care nu as fi crezut ca le voi incerca vreodata. Mi-am impins limitele. Am invatat o multime de lucruri si am crescut. Multumesc, 2014!
Cat despre 2015? Precum am spus in articolul anterior, haideti sa facem alegeri sanatoase, zi de zi, mai degraba decat rezolutii. Hai sa fim mai buni ASTAZI.

Si hai sa serbam acest moment, acest nou inceput cu deliciosii "Bulgari de zapada" :)

Servire: 10 bile

Timp preparare: 2-5 minute

INGREDIENTE:

- 6 linguri faina de cocos

- 4 linguri ulei de cocos topit

- 1.5 lingura miere

- 50 grame crema de cocos bio (firma Rapunzel)

- 2 linguri seminte de chia

INSTRUCTIUNI:

Adaugati toate ingredientele intr-un bol si amestecati usor pana sunt bine combinate.

Acoperiti bolul si puneti-l in frigider pentru 10 min sau pana cand se intareste compozitia.

Formati bile mici si rulati-le prin faina de cocos (sau prin fulgi de cocos)

Asezati "Bulgari de zapada" pe o farfurie si puneti-i la frigider pana cand se intaresc.

* Crema de nuca de cocos este servita la temperatura camerei sau un pic incalzita

* Reteta adaptat de la C. Tales of a kitchen

Ei bine, dupa cum stiti, duminica este ziua mea preferata, pentru linistea si pacea datatoare, dar mai ales, pentru deliciul pe care il pot degusta in pat - micul dejun - masa mea preferata si inca, cea mai importanta masa a zilei. De ce? Pentru ca astfel ii oferi corpului tau sursa corecta de energie, prin alimente nutritive; ele vor stimula si accelera metabolismul si, prin urmare, incurajeaza arderea caloriilor, mai degraba decat depozitarea lor.

Deci, micul tau dejun sau masa fericita, cum imi place mie sa-i spun, ar trebui sa contina:

* O sursa de proteina usor digerabila (pudra proteica de cânepă, pudra de spirulina, pudra proteica din orez brun... );

* Una sau doua portii de fructe (banane, fructe de padure, prune, struguri... );

* Verdeturi (spanac, kale, broccoli... );

* Nuci si seminte (seminte de in / chia / cânepă / dovleac / susan si nuci - sunt mari surse de stimulare a starii de spirit + omega 3; caju-ul dovedit a oferi efecte echivalente ca o doza terapeutica de Prozac si, desigur, regele nucilor - migdalele);

* Carbohidratii complecsi (ovăz, hrișcă, cereale integrale, germeni de grâu... );

* Alte superalimente (polen de albine, cacao cruda, aloe vera, goji... ). Mai multe afli aici.

Asadar, in cazul in care micul tau dejun arata in acest fel, atunci, vei obtine o multime de energie si, de-a lungul zilei, vei consuma mai putine calorii si alimente nesanatoase, pe cuvant :)

 

 Iata smoothie-ul meu delicios ca un rasarit de soare :)

INGREDIENTE:

- 1 banana
- 1 masura de pudra de proteina de soia
- 1 mana de spanac
- 1 lingurita pudra de aloe vera
- 1 lingurita de cacao cruda (sau carob/pudra de roscove)
- 2 nuci
- 1 lingura seminte chia
- 1 lingurita seminte de in
- 4 linguri de ovăz
- 1/2 - 1 cana de apa (in functie de consistenta dorita)

- 1 pumn (mic) de struguri
- 1 lingura de polen

INSTRUCTIUNI:
Puneti toate ingredientele in blender si mixati pana devine o crema pufoasa.
Turnati intr-un castron, adaugati strugurii si polenul de albine.

Enjoy!


Well, as you know, sunday is my preferred day, because of the silence and the giving peace, but most of all, because of the delight I can taste in bed - breakfast - my favorite meal and yet, the most important meal of the day. Why is that? Because if you give to your body the right kind of energy, from nutritional foods; they will stimulate and accelerate metabolism and therefore encourages calorie burning rather than storing them.

So your breakfast or your happy meal, as I like to call it, should contain:
* an easily digestible protein (hemp protein powder, spirulina powder, brown rice protein powder... );

* one or two servings of fruits (banana, berries, plums, grapes... );

* greens (spinach, kale, broccoli... );

* nuts and seeds (flax/chia/hemp/pumpkin seeds and walnuts are great sources of mood-boosting omega-3s, cashews have been shown to provide the equivalent effects as a therapeutic dose of Prozac and, of course, the king of nuts - almonds);

* complex carbs (oats, buckwheat, wholegrain cereals, wheat germ... );

* other superfoods (bee polen, raw cacao, aloe vera, goji berries... ). For more info click here.

Therefore, if your breakfast looks like this, you'll gain a lot of energy and you will consume fewer calories and unhealthy foods throughout the day. Trust me!

Luni, in data de 3 noiembrie, tinutul wellness by sam a implinit doi ani. Doi ani frumosi... doi ani de evolutie si crestere. Ani datatori de informatie si de savoare. Intr-adevar cea din urma s-a cam sitit, insa, a facut-o cu un scop nobil - a lasat loc informatiei. Orisicum cele doua vor dansa intotdeauna impreuna, indiferent de ritmul gasit in cale.

Si, da, timpul uneori nu este cel mai bun companion in acest sens (vezi absenta mea). Dar si aceasta are o menire, iar in viitorul apropiat promit ca o vei cunoaste. Atunci, sunt convinsa ca micile lacune imi vor fi absolvite :)

Pana atunci, tot in incercarea de-a fi gratiata :) si, desigur, de a-mi reaminti placerea de a realiza un desert sanatos, te invit sa incerci si sa degusti reteta urmatoare. Te anunt ca e putin diferita de cele cu care te-am obisnuit pana acum. Adica, e semi-cruda. 

 INGREDIENTE:

- 2 cani nuci

- 3 cartofi dulci de marime medie

- 1 lingurita ulei de cocos

INSTRUCTIUNI:

1. Puneti cele doua cani de nuci la macinat. Turnati nucile macinate intr-un bol. Adaugati lingurita de ulei de cocos si amestecati. Compozitia rezultata o asezati, prin presare cu degetele, pe fundul unui inel de tort (sau in forma dorita).

2. Curatati cartofii de coaja si puneti-i la fiert pentru 10-20 de minute. Ii taiati bucatele si ii adaugati in robotul de bucatarie. Mixati pana devine un piure cremos. Lasati putin sa se raceasca si turnati crema deasupra bazei de nuci. 

* Optional puteti adauga 1 lingurita de miere in compozitia nucilor macinate.

* Toata lumea stie cat sunt de sanatoase nucile, insa, despre gingasii cartofi portocalii, cred ca prea putine persoane vorbesc sau se incumeta sa-i incerce.

Beneficii cartofi dulci:

- Indicele glicemic (IG) este cu mult inferior cartofilor albi. Cartofii dulci au IG 54 (scazut). In schimb, cartofii albi prajiti sau gatiti la cuptor au IG intre 75-85.

"Indicele glicemic (IG) este un sistem de masurare al carbohidratilor, pe o scara de la 0 la 100, in functie de efectul alimentului ingerat asupra nivelului de zahar din sange. Este un indicator care masoara viteza cu care un anumit tip de carbohidrat ajunge in sange si influenteaza nivelul de zahar.

Adoptarea unui regim alimentar bazat pe consumul alimentelor cu IG scazut este secretul mentinerii sanatatii organismului, deoarece reduce riscul de aparitie al bolilor cardiovasculare si cresterea in greutate." (Sursa)

- Sunt bogati in vitamina B6 >> sanatosi pentru inima.

- Sunt plini de betacaroteni >> vitamina A, un important antioxidant.

- Sunt bogati in vitaminele C si E >> vitamine puternic antioxidante.

- Sunt aromati (au gust dulce), deci, nu mai au nevoie de condimente.

 Va multumesc pentru ca mi-ati fost alaturi.

Daca am reusit sa deschid o mica poarta spre sanatate si energie in viata voastra

atunci bucuria mea e uriasa.

Multumesc, multumesc, multumesc :)

Monday, on November 3, the land called wellness by sam turned two years. Beautiful two years... two years of development and growth. Giver years of information and flavor. Indeed the last one was a little sparse, but with a noble purpose - she left room to information. However the two will always dance together, regardless of the pace found their way.

And yes, time sometimes is not the best companion in this regard (see my absence). But it has a purpose, and in the near future I promise you will know about it. Then, I am convinced that my small gaps will be excused :)

Until then, all in an attempt to be pardoned :) and of course to remind me the pleasure to make something sweet and healthy, I invite you to try the following recipe. You should know that it's a little different from what I've used so far. I mean, it's a semi-raw dessert.

INGREDIENTS:

- 2 cups walnuts

- 3 medium sweet potatoes

- 1 tsp coconut oil

INSTRUCTIONS:
