National Eating Heathy Day

Hi...

I won't normally be posting this often, but today is National Eating Healthy Day sponsored by the American Heart Association....

I had to share.

Try Adding these things to your diet:

12-14  8oz glasses of water
Dark Green Leafy vegetables
Eat your colors--- Eating a variety of colorful food helps insure you get the right vitamins
You need healthy protein like nuts, beans, wild caught fish and organic free- range chicken .

Try crowding out these things:

Sugar
Artificial Sweeteners
White flour products

Try this delicious Grain Free pumpkin Muffin recipe

Yummy Grain-free Muffins

2 eggs ( you can substitute 2Tbsp Chia seeds mixed with 3/4 cup warm water, let sit 5minutes to congeal)

1 ½ cup almond milk (may need more to help with consistency, muffin dough should be wet but not runny)

1can (15oz) organic pumpkin puree

1/2cup melted coconut oil

1 tsp vanilla extract

2/3 cup garbanzo bean flour

1/3 cup coconut flour

2/3 cup Almond flour

3 pkgs (individual ) Stevia

¾ tsp baking soda

½ tsp pink sea salt

½ tsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp all spice

¼ tsp nutmeg

½ tsp cardamom (optional)

½ tsp fenugreek (optional, my husband likes this spice in there. It gives it a maple taste)

½ cup chopped walnuts

1/3 cup dairy free gluten free chocolate chips( you can also add dried fruit like raisins or cranberries; pumpkin seeds)

3Tbsp flax meal

2Tbsp chia seeds if you did not use this to substitute for the eggs

Makes 18 medium muffins. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together ingredients. Line muffin cups with paper or prepare with coconut oil. Fill each cup with batter. Bake for 30 minutes. They are ready when tooth pick comes out clean from center of muffin. I refrigerate after cooling. I also mix up the wet ingredients  using pureed zucchini and spinach instead of pumpkin sometimes. You could use the spices for your favorite zucchini bread. You could also use banana instead of the pumpkin… about 1 ½ cups mashed banana. Play with it
