Hello my favorite mammals!
I wanted to write to you again, but it didn't come with the times and today I finally made it… YUPIE.
Look, look how I take pains, heh! Three recipes in a single entry, for all tastes and needs: Nutella, peanut butter and date paste.
Many times most people think that eating healthy is directly related to giving up everything we like, but fortunately it is not always like this :-D. That is why I dare to paraphrase my friend Fernanda (Darwin's copy): -How is the thing ?, Does the strongest survive or the one that best adapts? ... We doubtfully reinvent ourselves and adapt to change. If the industry sells us food that makes us sick, then we make it at home. CHAN. Will we be stronger like that, Fer ?.
Nutella and industrial peanut butter have many chemicals or flavor inducers, such as monosodium glutamate, which causes addiction. Yes, yes, addiction. Did you see when you buy chips, do not stop until you see the end of the bag? (and it seemed little to you), well, well, that need to eat and eat without stopping, is caused by the GMS and OH !, coincidentally, Nutella also has it. That is why we are going to roll up our sleeves and become our own producers of healthy NUTELLA (by clicking on the link you can read an article about the world-known and addictive hazelnut cream) ... now if we KNOW THAT WE ARE EATING, because we will do it same.
First of all it is important that they remember something: except for the date paste, both the Nutella and the peanut butter, they are made with nuts, and although they are super healthy, they are also very high in fat ... yes, yes, yes, already I know, "good fats", but fats in the end, that is, they must be consumed responsibly ... Let's be: SAPIENS :-).
First of all, I wanted to repeat (I already told you in previous recipes) that it is important to leave, both nuts, cereals or seeds (except flaxseed and chia), soaking or "activating" for at least 12 hours. This category of food naturally has inhibitors or antinutrients such as phytic acid, which make it difficult to assimilate nutrients. On the other hand, nuts, if we do not buy them in their natural state, that is, in shell (it would be ideal! Because they even preserve better minerals and vitamins) could be infected with highly dangerous fungi (aflatoxins). Therefore, it is important to PLAN the menu a few days in advance, without hurry, to enjoy it in every way.
For nuts, I recommend putting them in water one full night and the next day rinse and dry them. It can be in the sun, in a dehydrator, or in the oven over very low heat and with the door ajar. In this way we will have the security that we will eat nuts of better quality. Everything that could affect us will be taken by the water :-).
These recipes then carry neither dairy, gluten, nor preservatives. They are full of minerals such as potassium, iron, magnesium or phosphorus and are ideal for consumption after sports because of their high energy value ... so, if they do not move the skeleton, there is no Nutella :-P.
Well, my dear sweet tooth, let's get down to work.
Date Paste:
- Amount of dates to taste and budget 😉
- Filtered water, quantity needed.
The night before, we put in a bowl the dates with double amount of water.
The next morning, drain them and reserve the water.
In a blender, we put the activated dates and add a little (aich !, a little I said, ché: P) of the soaking water. We start the blender until you get a paste. We put the preparation in a jar or a tupper (glass as much as possible) and store it in the refrigerator.
Date paste is used to spread bread like jam for example, but it can also be used to sweeten smoothies, juices, make sauces, mix with fruits or whatever you can think of. How long does it last ?, I would not know how to tell you exactly why a sigh lasts at home, but I estimate that about 5-7 days.
In the photo below, I put a tablespoon of date paste in a small bowl and lowered it with a little water, causing it to be more fluid in consistency. In this way it can be used as a sauce to put on top of fruits or pancakes, for example.
Peanut butter
- Peanuts or raw peanuts, the amount they want. (I normally use two large cups).
- A multiprocessor or a powerful blender.
preparation:
-Buy raw peanuts / peanuts, wash them well, wash them and activate them.
-The next day drain, dry, put them on a tray and send them to the preheated oven at about 150 degrees. To toast them slowly.
-When they are golden brown, you take them out and let them cool.
-Once you put them in the multiprocessor or blender and let it mix for a while (depending on the power it can take about 4-5 minutes or more).
IT IS IMPORTANT that you don't put ANYTHING, just roasted peanuts until a dough is made and it's ready.
If you like sweet, you can add Stevia, sirup, molasses or syrup, although I honestly have no idea how it will be because we eat it that way, with nothing.
- Store in a glass jar or tupper in a cool dry place (you can go to the refrigerator too). And ready to eat!.
Extra data for all my Argentine compatriots: When they feel like eating Mantecol, (which is delicious, but as harmful, as their cousin sister Nutella industrial) can cut apples and spread them with peanut butter. The taste of this combination is VERY similar. A "pu-e-ma."
Nutella
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups of raw hazelnuts (if possible, clean, activated and dry again… exactly as explained above)
-2 teaspoons vanilla extract / essence.
-1/3 cup bitter cocoa powder.
- 2 generous handfuls of dates.
-2/3 cup almond milk.
Process:
- Toast the hazelnuts for about 10-15 minutes.
- When they are ready, remove and let them cool.
- Once they are completely cold, put them on a clean cloth and rub them with each other to remove the skin. This step can be a bit difficult, but don't go crazy if it doesn't come out completely, the important thing is that you remove most of it.
- Put the hazelnuts in the blender or in the multiprocessor (I use a blender, it is much more powerful) and whisk until a butter is left.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and continue beating until a smooth butter. Try it, if you see that it is not sweet enough, add more dates or if you like Stevia a little. The same if it is not soft enough, add more almond milk or if you like more chocolate flavor, add cocoa, until you find the point of your liking.
- Store it in a clean jar or glass tupper.
- Keep in a cool and dark place, but NOT in the refrigerator.
NOTE: Whoever wants to eat Nutella raw vegan, all you have to do is NOT to toast the hazelnuts and continue with the same procedure :-). And for who follows the diet of Dr, Graham: 80-10-10, you can change cocoa for carob and voila :-).
Now yes, bon appetit!
