want to miss all the tips and the recipes I post on there and let's get
into it so the first healthy junk food we are making is Oreos because this was
really highly requested whenever I do questions and polls on my Instagram so
I'm starting off with some raw cacao which is great it's high in serotonin it
boosts your mood and it is loaded with antioxidants then I'm using some almond
flour I love using almond flour because it's high in protein it's high in
vitamin E you can use a different flour if you want but this way it is grain
free and paleo if you do almond flour I'm going to mix up the dry ingredients
just so that everything is combined and it's gonna be easier when we add our wet
so I'm adding in some maple syrup which is a great natural sweetener unrefined
and it's actually really great at boosting your immune system and it's
what's gonna hold all of our cookies together so then you're gonna make
little ball shapes and then press them down into like flat oreo type cookies
and put them on a silicon mat or you can spray a cookie sheet and we're gonna
bake them for 10 to 12 minutes at 350 once they're done let them cool
completely and then I'm using some coconut butter in the middle to make it
kind of like the frosting in the inside if you want you can add a little bit of
maple syrup to lick the coconut butter mix it and then put it in but I find
they don't need the sweetness at all and then I kind of just make these Oreo
sandwiches and they're so easy to make they give you that Oreo vibe but they're
full of stuff that is great for you healthy fats and they're also paleo next
up we're making queso because when I think of like junk food I think of like
nachos and next a movie theater so I'm chopping up a semi carrot carrot is so
good for you it's good for your eye health it's good for all the vitamins a
min from the beta-carotene I'm boiling that
with some cauliflower and then we are going to be blending that up in either a
food processor or a blender so just make sure you boil them long enough that
they're quite soft I'm adding in some nutritional yeast which is great for
boosting your energy it's loaded with b12 especially if you don't eat a lot of
meat or if you're vegan this will be great for you I'm also adding in some
coconut milk which is gonna make it nice and creamy love coconut milk it's a
great healthy fat and it's full of electrolytes and medium chain
triglycerides which help keep you full and that it will also make the case oh
nice and creamy and kind of taste rich and then I'm going to be adding in just
a dash of Himalayan salt which is great at balancing at your ph and has so many
minerals in it you blend that up and you have this wonderful queso cheese sauce
and it will even looks like it has that fluorescent orange color that like
normal queso has but doesn't have any of those weird colorings or anything to
make it Orange so it's pretty cool and it doesn't taste like carroty at all
because of everything else we put in it it just tastes really yummy so I highly
recommend and then I'm pairing this with some say 8a foods grain free tortilla
chips these ones are my favorite because they don't have any corn they're like no
grains at all they're so addicting so I highly
recommend checking these out if you haven't already and if you're Canadian
you can get them at Summer Hill Market in like Toronto or you can order on
luckyvitamin as well they're so yummy and then you just have your queso cheese
sauce you can use it for dipping I've used it on eggs if you follow me on my
institution oh I've been having this with eggs lately and it's delish and
lastly we're gonna make some gummies or slash gummy candies so I'm using some
cold-pressed juice from a local Juicery you can use whatever flavor you want
this one with apple lemon and ginger and then we're gonna heat it just until it
steams not till it boils and we're gonna be
adding in two tablespoons of gelatin for every one cup of juice and you want to
add the gelatin in one tablespoon at a time and then whisk it together gelatin
is great for your joints it's great for your digestive system it is so so good
for you it's full of amino acids and because we're only heating
the the juice to steam I'm not gonna kill all of the good stuff in it so I
would really use a good quality juice here and then I ordered these molds off
of Amazon they were less than $15 and it comes with this dropper and you just
drop the liquid in after the gelatin has dissolved into the little molds so I'm
doing the Apple ginger and lemon one as well as a green juice one here that was
full of like vegetables you let that sit for about 15-20 minutes in the fridge
and then you pop them out and you have your little dummies
super easy and you can do this with whatever juice you like you can even do
it with like a pomegranate juice whatever it's so easy to do guys and
they make the cute little is like gummy type bears kind of a cross between a
gummy and a jello but they're really really good so I hope you guys enjoyed
