Need to eat more vegetables? You’ve heard of carrot and beetroot in cake, sweet potato in brownies, avocado in mousse so why not try pumpkin in a smoothie?

1 serve Wheyless Vanilla Chai
1/2 banana, chopped
1 cup pumpkin, cubed and cooked
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp lemon zest

JAFFA SPICE COOKIES
Makes: 18
If, like me, you enjoy baking but avoid it when trying to lose weight in order to steer clear of temptation, these cookies will not only satisfy the baking urge but also give you something to chew, something sweet to enjoy with coffee and you won’t over-indulge because they’re really filling.
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups ground almonds
1 level scoop Wheyless Vanilla Chai
1/4 tsp bi-carb soda
2 tbs macadamia oil
1 tbs honey
Zest from 1 orange
1/2 tsp vanilla bean extract
1 egg
1 tsp cinnamon
50g currants
50g dark chocolate, chopped
Method:
- Preheat oven to 160 degrees celsius.
- Combine all ingredients together in a bowl except for currants and chocolate.
- Add currants and chopped chocolate and fold through mixture.
- Roll teaspoonfuls of mixture into balls and place on a tray.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until golden.
TIP: If you can’t trust yourself with the rest of the block of chocolate, you can leave it out of the recipe or chop up a few of the Wheyless Dark Chocolate Bars with Probiotics instead - NB: The probiotics may not all survive the oven.
