The Pumpkin spice latte is a trendy drink that was created by the Starbucks coffee chain. This drink is a mixture of coffee, milk, pumpkin puree, sugar, spices, and cream; Even though it is delicious, it is a drink very rich in sugars, so I have created my healthy version of this recipe to be able to take it daily.

Caffeine-free
While the original Pumpkin spice latte is with coffee, my version is caffeine-free as I use a coffee substitute. You can use the coffee substitute that you like best.

The Escalivada is a traditional dish here in Barcelona. It is a simple but delicious dish, consisting of fire-roasted vegetables, but since we cannot have a barbeque every day, I have thought of proposing an oven-roasted version.

The Escalivada is very versatile, you can use it as a side to any dish, put it on top of toast, eat it alone … If you want, here you can see my Instagram Reel (video) of this recipe.

Phase 1 · Phase 2 · Phase 3 Serves: 4 Prep Time: Cooking Time:

Ingredients

  • 4 red bell peppers
  • 2 aubergines (P1 and P3 only)
  • 1 onion

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC.
  2. Wash the peppers and eggplants, dry them well with a clean cloth, and peel the onion.
  3. Place all the whole vegetables on an oven sheet and make a small cut at the base of the eggplants.
  4. Pour some olive oil over your vegetables and brush them to coat the surface. This step is optional, you can roast the vegetables without oil if you prefer.
  5. Bake your vegetables for about 50 minutes or more if necessary, until they are cooked through. Every once in a while, flip the veggies so they are done nicely on all sides.
  6. When the vegetables are well cooked, take them out of the oven and let them warm for a few minutes, so that they are not so hot when you go to peel them.
  7. Very carefully peel all the vegetables and remove the seeds from the peppers. Be especially careful not to burn yourself on the peppers as they can contain very hot water inside.
  8. Cut the peppers and the aubergines, the strips, and the onion into quarters.
  9. Place your vegetables on a plate and season with salt, oil, garlic, chopped parsley, or whatever you like best.
  10. You can also keep your Escalivada in the fridge in an airtight container. It will keep one 4-5 days without a problem.

In the last few weeks I received many messages from different people in Argentina asking me to prepare some Argentine recipe for FMD. Since at the beginning of the year I promised that in 2018 I would make some of the recipes that you ask me, I decided to share a recipe inspired by Argentine cuisine.

Dulce de batata is a traditional dessert from Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay, made from sweet potato, in my version I wanted to add squash to make it more original. I have used butternut squash, but you can also use different varieties. It is an easy dessert to prepare, delicious and 100% vegan, and is an excellent way to eat vegetables. I hope you like it 😉

Cacao is one of the oldest foods in the world, in fact  4,000 years ago people like the Maya and the Aztecs used it. These populations mixed it with water, honey and spices, giving life to a strong drink that offered a lot of energy. When cacao arrived in Europe, foods like milk, sugar and butter were added.

Still today I would like to propose a simple recipe, inspired by the cacao drink that the Mayans took. In addition, to turn it into a complete snack my recipe carries egg whites.

It is a really delicious recipe, with an original spicy touch due to the chilli pepper.

I wait for your opinions 🙂

The salted cakes are a dish that is used a lot in Italy, there are all kinds of varieties and they carry the most varied ingredients. The cake that I propose today is a vegan and gluten-free cake, based on zucchini, millet, and buckwheat, perfect for eating alone accompanied by a good salad or open in half and stuffed like a sandwich. It is also an original way of eating vegetables, which children will also like.

The salted cakes are a very old dish, the old Romans used to prepare them with very bitter vegetables to eat alone or with the less noble cuts of meat. In the middle ages, they reappeared at banquets and became increasingly elaborate and sophisticated until they became true sculptures made of dough. Clearly, they were very different from those we can see today, the dough served to contain the filling and was not normally eaten; The existing salted pies did not appear until the invention of the molds.

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons of thyme
  • Salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 338 ºF (170 ºC).
  2. Wash the zucchini and grate it finely. Put the grated zucchini in a strainer and put a pinch of salt. Let it rest for half an hour and then squeeze it as much as possible: you can press it between your hands, for example.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the flours, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt and thyme.
  4. Add the drained zucchini to the flours and mix until it is as uniform as possible.
  5. Also, add oat or rice milk and mix well.
  6. Cut the tomatoes into slices.
  7. Pour the dough into an 8-inch silicone mold and decorate it with the slices of fresh tomatoes. Sprinkle a little thyme on top.
  8. Bake the cake for 50 or 60 minutes, until it is golden brown and cooked. Prick the cake with a toothpick to make sure it is perfectly cooked.

This recipe is compatible with the Fast Metabolism Diet – FMD Phase 1; With these quantities, you get 3 grains servings and 2 protein servings, for <20 pounds.
