hey everyone and welcome back to my channel and welcome it to new video in
today's video I'm showing you some healthy desserts they are so good guys

as well because I'm always posting my meals there recipes and I'm going to be
doing giveaways on there a lot so make sure you go and follow there so that you
don't miss that yeah I think that's it let's just get into the yummy dessert so
the first thing we're making is this strawberry rhubarb crisp I'm starting
off with some strawberries and I'm going to be slicing them up now strawberries
are part of the Dirty Dozen so if you can it's a really great thing to buy
organic all berries in general are part of the Dirty Dozen but if you can't
frozen is also a really good option to just make sure you buy the sliced frozen
frozen and not be a whole frozen so I'm gonna put that into a bowl and then we
are going to chop up our rhubarb if you've never had rhubarb before rhubarb
is a bit more sour than other fruits and it has a lot of fiber it's great for
digestion and I really love the compliment of the rhubarb with the
strawberry so you're gonna go ahead and add your chopped rhubarb into your
strawberries and rhubarb is in season now guys so starting April is in season
I'm adding in the juice of half of a lemon which really helps to develop the
flavors of the strawberry and the rhubarb but it's also alkalizing and
great for digestion too I'm adding in a couple of tablespoons of tapioca flour
and tapioca flour works really well to kind of absorb the juices and any kind
of water that releases from the fruit as you cook it so this way you don't get a
really watery crisp otherwise you might get like really you know loose and
there's all the juice that comes out but like not in a good way so this kind of
helps to really cook them in a nice way so don't skip this step guys it's
integral then I'm putting that in it to a baking dish and you're gonna see that
it fills it up most of the way but that's what we want coz want it to be
mainly fruit to make the topping I'm using some almond flour I love almond
flour because it's high in protein fiber you get lots of vitamin E and it's
gluten free and paleo I'm also using some coconut flour which is a very
absorptive flour some Himalayan salt to bring up the
sweetness of the fruit and the topping as well some cinnamon which is gonna
help to buzz your blood sugar and also add some great flavor as well as a
couple tablespoons of coconut sugar which is an unrefined sugar so it's a
great sugar to use in baking then I'm adding in some coconut oil and you want
to make sure that you add the coconut oil not melted so you want the solid
version like this and that's because when we mix up our crumble you want it
to still look crumbly and not be like runny if that makes sense so when the
coconut oil melts it'll make it runny then I'm adding in a little bit of maple
syrup which has tons of antioxidants it's great for your immune system as
well and also it just helps to bind the crust a little bit once that's all in my
bowl I'm just going to stir it up until I get a nice creamy mixture and top that
on top of the fruit and kind of press down just to make sure it all sticks
together and it's going to cook evenly then once it's baked you can scoop it
out and once it's golden brown that's when you know to take it out and you can
bake it directly as it is you don't need to cover it with tinfoil first and my
house smelled so good when I was making this it was so hard not to like a sample
it before shooting these little shots here but let's go ahead and have a taste
all right guys so once it's done it is time for the taste I'm so excited I love
strawberry rhubarb mm-hmm it's sweet but not too sweet because it's a natural of
the fruit you get that Tang cause of the rhubarb like I would even have this for
breakfast let alone dessert it's so delicious
I'm so happy rhubarb is in season I'm definitely gonna make this like a lot
more times this year all right so the next thing we're making is a skillet
brownie if you guys haven't seen my skillet cookie video make sure you watch
that because I was so obsessed with that recipe I made it like at least five
times so this one time we're making a brownie version I'm using some eggs
you can try flax eggs though I haven't and then I'm adding in some coconut
sugar which is gonna be the sweetener in these brownies again it's a lower
glycemic unrefined sugar so it's the choice that I use in baking and then I'm
using some coconut oil which is a great medium chain triglyceride it helps you
to burn fat it helps to turn off cravings and it helps to keep you
satisfied a little splash of then person flavor and also some antioxidants
and then I'm just going to whisk that all together until it's all combined and
all smooth then I'm gonna add in the cacao and cacao is super rich in lots of
different antioxidants and it's unsweetened too so just make sure you
get like an unsweetened cacao or a cocoa powder to add the chocolate in this to
this without adding any sugar to it and then we're just going to whisk the vibe
until it's smooth and you don't have any clumps because we don't want any dry
clumps in our brownies and then I'm going to be adding in almond flour you
can use an oat flour a brown rice flour a cast of a flour just anything but
coconut flour basically in the substitute then I'm adding in some
baking soda which is just gonna help it rise and kind of make like that brownie
cakey texture so then just fold in the rest of the dry ingredients until you
get a nice smooth batter and everything is mixed in well but don't over mix I'm
taking up my skillet that I sprayed with some coconut oil and I'm transferring
the batter in it to the skillet if you don't have a skillet you can just as
easily cook this in like a normal brownie pan or a cake pan just make sure
it's roughly the same size mine was 16 inches wide and round so just make sure
that it's about the same size otherwise the cook time 8 berry I'm going to
spread that out on to the edges so that it's covering the whole skillet and once
it's done you will have this gorgeous brownie cake it lifts and Rises quite a
bit so as you can see my knife goes in quite deep and you get this perfect
brownie and just so delicious guys it's so yummy so let's go and have a taste
alright guys let's have a taste
mm-hmm it's chocolatey but not too sweet you get that like chocolate satisfaction
but it's made with good ingredients you can even put some coconut ice cream on
the top I like ones that are just dairy-free just coconut milk real
natural ingredients you can go to like a health food store and get some but this
is delicious you definitely don't even need the ice cream I would just eat this
like by itself it is delicious and last but certainly not least we're
making these cookie dough bars I'm obsessed with them they're so delicious
I'm using 1 cup of cashews and putting that into a blender with a cup of hemp
arts or hemp seeds both of them have great healthy fats in them they've got
omegas they're just gonna help keep you full and help keep you satisfied because
that's what you want in snack you want protein in fact then I'm adding in some
ground flax which is gonna give us some fiber and as I always say
fiber helps keep you full and it just really like in your stomach it kind of
puffs up and really makes you feel like full then I'm adding in some maple syrup
for a little bit of sweetness the maple syrup has tons of antioxidants is also
great for your immune system a little bit of vanilla again which adds flavor
and also some antioxidants and a pinch of Himalayan salt which you guys know it
was kind of my kitchen staple salt and then I'm adding in some paleo chocolate
chunks these are just dairy-free ones and to the batter after I've blended it
and then just stirring that around to kind of get them distributed once that's
done I'm going to make the paleo chocolate topping so I'm using coconut
oil and cacao and I'm using equal ratios you guys have seen me make this
lots and lots of times before but it's super simple it's like two three
ingredients and you can make it in the flash so I'm adding in the coconut oil
and the cocoa powder and everything will be listed in the description box below
as always I'm adding a splash of vanilla to this as well again just for some
flavor and to make it feel more chocolaty then I'm taking my creme up
mixture in to a baking dish and we are going to be transferring it all in there
and then I'm going to press it down with my hands until we get a nice even layer
throughout the whole bottom of the baking dish and be careful because it
can get a bit sticky so just make sure you do this gently and you don't get it
too stuck up to your hands then I'm going to be pouring the paleo chocolate
on the top and just spreading it out a bit to cover
the whole thing once it's set in the fridge for about 2 3 hours you will have
your cookie dough bars which you can cut up and enjoy and they are so good guys
okay let's taste once that you're done you can cut them up and put them in a
container to store like I did I like cuz it makes a lot of bars like I
would say I got maybe almost 20 of these things so let's have a taste what I love
is that they're a little bit sweet so they satisfy that sweet tooth but
they're not too sweet and they're the perfect like after dinner or after lunch
kind of treat if you want something plus they're low the protein and fat which
shouldn't help keep you full and reduce cravings as well so the win-win all
around and you can definitely share these friends or make a big batch and
make them last for a long long time ok guys I hope you enjoyed this video if
