Nutrient Dense Jellies

/ Snacks/Treats / 0 comments

I LOVE this recipe.

I use the base recipe FREQUENTLY  and then vary what goodness I pack in them.

I featured many flavours we use including our current top 3 favourites. 

Hopefully this is detailed clearly below xx

My girls enjoy them, they also love gifting them to friends that may feel unwell.

AND… request them for birthdays in addition to a treat in their lunch boxes. (Helps when you have a range of fun chocolate moulds for them to set in)

I hope you get as much joy out of different combinations as we do 

With love,

BASE

3 1/2 Tbsp of good quality grass fed (Organic pasture raised etc) gelatin

1/3 cup of cold filtered water

1 1/2 cups of flavour 

e.g green smoothie, frozen fruit, sweet herbal tea etc.

* OPTIONAL: fun chocolate moulds to set in but not necessary as you can cut them into squares if set in a dish or you can use ice cube moulds

Probiotics

Veggie powder (I use veggie Hero by Nutra -organics)

Green powder or spirulina

METHOD

It’s great to bloom your gelatin first. Therefore combine your 3 1/2 Tbsp of gelatin with 1/3 cup of water stir quickly then allow to settle (watch it ‘Bloom’)

Heat your flavour eg. if it’s frozen fruit like raspberries stew until thick, or warm smoothie. Once flavour is warm add bloomed gelatin and dissolve completely.

Allow to cool and then add your desired powders- dissolve well.

*Note : If adding a probiotic ensure the liquid is cooled completely as to not destroy the bacteria.

Banana Pikelets

Banana Pikelets

I am continually looking for ways to optimise the family’s nutrition within EVERY meal.

I often question ‘how can I upgrade this meal to be as nutrient dense as possible, using the power of nature combinations of course?’

Below is my version of pancakes. Pikelets really, as my girls like them small- but you can create whatever size you like.

What I love about this recipe works well for breakfast AND snacks. So feel free to double the recipe to ensure you have left overs for lunch boxes or afternoon tea 🙂 

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 ripe banana
  • 2  organic eggs
  • 1/4 cup of banana flour
  • pinch of organic vanilla powder and cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup of spinach- or your choice of green
  • Organic butter for cooking and serving
  • Medium fry pan
Banana Pikelet mixture
Banana Pikelet mixture

METHOD

  • Blend all ingredients together
  • Allow butter to melt on medium heat and then pour mixture into hot fry pan- Cook as you would a normal pancake/pikelet adjusting the heat as appropriate
  • Once bubbles appear, flip to see the golden cooked colour.

SERVE

I often serve it on its own with butter but have also served with:

  • Greek yoghurt with a sprinkle of spirulina
  • Coconut yoghurt with chia seeds
  • Fresh berries, stewed berries

ENJOY,

With Love, Jodie
