Chia Seed Slice

SERVES 8-10

Ingredients

1 cup oats

½ cup slivered almonds

¼ cup pepitas

¼ cup sunflower seeds

10 dates

1 tsp cinnamon

¼ cup maple syrup

½ cup sesame seeds

¼ cup chia seeds

3 tablespoons water

½ cup coconut

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Line a rectangular baking dish with baking paper.

On a baking tray line it with baking paper. Place the oats, pepitas, sunflower seeds, slivered almonds into

a bowl, give a good mix then spread them evenly onto the baking paper and put into the oven for about

8 minute until they are lightly browned – be careful not to burn them.

Place the dates into a small bowl and soak them in boiling water from the kettle for about 5 minutes to

soften them up.

Once the nuts/seeds are lightly brown place into food processor along with the dates, cinnamon and

maple syrup, blend until just combined. Transfer into a bowl and add in the chia seeds, sesame seeds

and water and give a good mix. Pour ingredients into baking dish and really flatten the mixture out and

compress down with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle coconut on top and again press down with the back of

a spoon. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes until set. Stores well in the fridge or freezer.

Sunday- Rest day at Bluelake Crossfit

Another quick, easy and delicious recipe idea from Dani Spies @ Clean and Delicious… Hope you try… Enjoy!

Zucchini Taco Boats

Zucchini taco boats are easy to make and a fun way to put healthy twist on taco night! This zucchini boat recipe is low-carb, paleo, keto, and Whole 30 friendly, so they work for just about everyone!

Prep Time30 mins

Cook Time25 mins

Servings: 8

Calories: 215

Ingredients

• 4 medium zucchini

• 1 cup salsa

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1/2 cup chopped onion

• 1 pound grass-fed ground beef

• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning

• 1 cup cauliflower rice, (I buy mine pre-riced)

• 2 cloves chopped garlic

• 1 bell pepper, chopped

• 1 cup chopped zucchini, reserved

• salt and pepper to taste

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, optional

• 1/4 cup diced cherry tomatoes optional

Instructions

• Pre-heat oven to 350F.

• Trim the top and bottom of zucchini off. Lay the zucchini flat and slice in half lengthwise. Repeat with all four zucchini.

• Using a spoon, scoop the center of the zucchini out leaving 1/4 inch wall around the bottom and sides of the zucchini. Repeat with each zucchini halve.

• Reserve 1 cup of the zucchini meat from the center of the zucchini and give it a rough chop. We will use this in the filling.

• Add a thin layer of salsa to the bottom of a baking and lay the zucchini boats on top. You may need two dishes to fit all of the zucchini.

• Ina large non stick skillet, heat olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add in the onion along with a pinch of salt.

• Once the onion is translucent, push to the side and add in ground beef. Season with salt and break up into crumbles. Add taco seasoning and stir to coat.

• Next, add in cauliflower rice, garlic, bell pepper and zucchini 'meat'. Season with a little more salt and pepper and stir.

• Pour in remaining salsa, stir everything together, and simmer for 5-10 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow to cool until it's easy to handle.

• Divide the mixture evenly amongst all 8 zucchini boat halves and then sprinkle each half with shredded cheddar cheese.

• Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the zucchini is tender.

• Top with fresh tomatoes and cilantro and enjoy!

Notes

• I always buy my cauliflower rice pre-made at the grocer store. You can use fresh or frozen for this recipe, both work.

• If you want to keep this recipe Whole 30 compliant, be sure to leave off the cheese.

Sunday- is prep day for the coming week… Why not try these breakfast bars from The Body Coach- Joe Wicks … Enjoy!

Apple and Cinnamon Breakfast Bars

Ingredients:

200g rolled oats 

75g coconut flour

90g vanilla protein powder

60g ground flaxseed

2 tbsp ground cinnamon

240g pitted medjool dates (roughly 14 dates), chopped

220g unsweetened apple sauce

100g almond butter

75g coconut oil, melted

75ml boiling water

200g raisins

2 apples, cored and grated

Method

Preheat the oven to 180ºC and line a 20cm x 30cm rectangular cake tin with greaseproof paper. Combine the oats, coconut flour, protein powder, ground flaxseed and cinnamon in a large bowl and set aside.

Put the dates, apple sauce, almond butter, coconut oil and boiling water into a liquidiser and blend to a smooth purée. Pour into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Stir in the raisins and grated apple then spoon into the lined tin. Using the back of a spoon spread everything out in an even layer then bake for 30 minutes until golden brown.

Leave to cool in the tin then turn out, remove the paper and cut into rectangles. Wrap each bar individually in cling film and store in an airtight container for up to five days. Any spare bars will freeze well.

Tip

These bars freeze really well. Freeze them on a tray lined with greaseproof paper, then once they're frozen transfer to them to a larger freezer bag. That way they won't stick together, and they'll be easier to defrost.
