The Gourmellows

I always tend to change my recipes as I make them, so I have gazillion of different variations on the same theme :-)

Chocolate chips cookies

1/2 cup of canola oil
1 cup of brown sugar
1/4 cup of sucanat (evaporate cane juice)
2 tsp of natural vanilla extract or the seeds of one vanilla bean)
2 tbsp of almond milk
3 tsp of energ-G egg replecer mixed with 2 1/2 tbsp of water
2 cups of whole wheat pastry flour (or if you cant find it I also use King Arthur white whole wheat flour, it is a little bit lighter in texture than the regular whole wheat)
1/2 tsp of baking soda
1/2 tsp of baking powder
1/2 tsp of sea salt
1 cup of dark chocolate chips (I use Dagoba Milagros)

Mix oil, sugar, vanilla.
Add egg replacer, mix well.
Mix flour with baking powder, baking soda, salt and chocolate chips.
Add the flour to the rest, mix well.
With an ice cream scooper form the cookies and place on a cookie sheet that will fit into the frezeer.
Freeze the dough for about 30 minutes.
Bake frozen cookies at 365F (I have a gas oven, temperature might be different from an electric)
Bake until slightly gold on the bottom.
Do not over bake, they will be puffy with bunch of cracks on the top and the inside will be still moist.

Enjoy

My favorite smoothie:
1 banana
1 cup or more of frozen blueberries
1 Tbsp of natural peanut butter
Stevia if needed (1/2 Tbsp)
filtered water (approx 1-2 cups, but check the consitency and adjust to your liking)
1 cup of organic red chard
1 cup of organic spinach
Add 1 Tbsp of hemp protein if desired.

Blend at high speed and enjoy right away. It always makes me feel great and energized even if tired and overworked and its a good way to sneak leafy greens into the, kids and non, diet.
