Carrot Cake Oats

C A R R O T • C A K E oats, oh boy! Shoutout to one of my fave IG accounts @kylecarillet. This take on his recipe is so bomb! 💣 A hearty healthy scrumptious treat, that doesn’t make me feel guilty in anyway. I tend to have a sweet tooth so may as well put this on rotation for a healthier option (with protein).

Already packed with raisins, carrots and nuts (i used both pecans and walnuts), I also varied this recipe by adding an additional egg – for a total of three. One and a half heaping scoop of vanilla whey protein. Cristalized ginger pieces, additional nut milk (i used macadamia milk). I also added more maple syrup to the frosting for a thinner consistency.

Have fun with it. Next time I’m going to try more protein powder.

Adapted from @KyleCarillet (IG):

  • 2c oats (or equivalent)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2tsp cinnamon
  • 1tsp ginger
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 pinch, salt

Separately mix together:

  • half cup nut milk + 1.5 scoop protein (preferably legion plant+ but can also use whey. Plant cooks better)
  • 3 beaten eggs
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds soak in the milk
  • 1tbsp vanilla
  • 3/4 cup maple syrup (255g)
  • three fourth cup carrots (1 med-lrg carrot)
  • half cup raisins
  • half cup nuts (walnuts or pecans)
  • half cup coconut oil
  • half cup applesauce

Topping (mix ingredients and place in ziplock bag cup tip and drizzle)

  • 1 pkg low fat cream cheese (225g)
  • half cup greek yogurt (150g)
  • Maple syrup (1-5 tbsp, on preference)

The Wonder of TURMERIC!

Happy Sunday afternoon – What a great day for such a beautiful drink. The color is so rich. I’m so happy to be taking control of my pain and the inflammation in my body by drinking this amazing elixir two days in a row now.

What a wonderful way to start the day pain free! Discover the many benefits of turmeric. I whipped up this tonic after reading of the many benefits of this amazing drink made with nothing but whole ingredients.

I read of the many benefits and was inspired to make this version of the tonic based on an article I read on tumeric for health. There are many other variations of it or feel free to make your own. Hopefully this will inspire you to reap the many benefits of this natural spice by ingesting it as a tea or tonic. I hesitate to call it a tea because teas are generally, green black and oolong and variations off of those.

I started with the following:

  • 4 cups of water
  • 2 teaspoons of organic turmeric powder
  • a pinch of organic ginger powder
  • a drop of therapeutic grade clove doterra essential oil
  • a couple of drops of therapeutic grade cinnamon doterra essential oil

Bring the water to a boil then add the other ingredients, let simmer for 10 mins and enjoy hot or cold. Try it and let me know what you think.

Turmeric has antioxidant properties and helps with:

  • anti-inflammatory treatment (my main reason for using)
  • pain relief (my main reason for using)
  • cancer treatment and prevention
  • cataract prevention
  • reduces the risk of catching atherosclerosis by preventing blood clots
  • helps people with diabetes and viral infections
