Delicious and super healthy Apple Crumble.. with.. Apple Smoothie..!

Apples always make me happy.

They remind me how something can help me quench my thirst as well as hunger, without the slightest feeling of guilt.

This super nutritious fruit containing loads of fiber and vitamin C, seems to lower the risk of diabetes, heart diseases and various gut problems.Promoting weight loss is one of its linked advantages too, along with many others. Cinnamon is loaded with antioxidants and has powerful medicinal properties. I love to add it to my recipes. The flavor is magical.

APPLE CRUMBLE

APPLE CRUMBLE needs 6 basic ingredients altogether. I take 10 minutes to mix things up and 20 minutes to bake it.

LET’S COLLECT

Multigrain flour 1 cup

Baking powder 1 tsp

Powdered brown sugar 2 tbsp

Peeled and thinly sliced apple 1

Cinnamon powder 1 tbsp (i love the cinnamon flavor, you can reduce it if you want)

Virgin olive oil (can be replaced by butter) 2 tbsp to begin with

Few nuts (broken roasted walnuts and raisins preferably) are OPTIONAL.

LET’S DO IT

-I prefer mixing little cinnamon powder and little powdered brown sugar to the flour along with baking powder, to begin with.

-Just mix this flour with oil slowly and keep kneading with fingertips till it looks and feels like breadcrumbs. You can add a pinch of salt if you are using olive oil.

-Take a small flat baking tray and spread a layer of this flour at the bottom. Press it a bit with fingertips evenly.

-Arrange a layer of sliced apples over this and sprinkle cinnamon powder, nuts and brown sugar powder over it.

-Repeat these two layers as many times you can. The final one needs to be flour.

-Sprinkle generously the remaining cinnamon powder at the top.

The look just before baking

LET’S BAKE

Preheat the oven at 200 degrees for 10 minutes and then bake at 175 degrees for 15-20 minutes or till brown. Keep yourself busy since the aroma in the house drives you crazy. Maybe you can make yourself a smoothie in the meantime.

APPLE SMOOTHIE

MY APPLE SMOOTHIE is simply simple with just 3 ingredients. Mix small pieces of peeled apple (1 apple), toned cold milk (half cup) and few drops of vanilla essence.Blend. Add half a cup of frozen/chilled milk (whichever you prefer). Churn again. Pour and enjoy.

This combo is awfully delicious, exceptionally healthy and super quick. Above all its a complete wholesome meal without any more craving left for someone who has a sweet tooth. Well if you are generous, you can share it post lunch as a dessert too.

CHEERS..!

CAN TASTY FOOD BE HEALTHY TOO?

Hi friends ! This is my first blog to promote fitness along with some poetry. Hope you all support me, the way you have always encouraged me for my poetry blogs.

Well ..! Food not only has the function of giving energy to your body, but is also completely responsible for satisfying your taste buds. In other words, it is supposed to give us happiness too.

What if someone tells you..”Eat some yum food to lose weight !” ?

Can food make you thin?

In today’s world where everything is adulterated, eating and staying fit appears to be a challenge. It’s not that the good things don’t exist, it’s just that we don’t have the time and energy to find out what is good for us and how can we make the most of it.

Though a dental surgeon by profession, I am also a certified nutritionist and a dietitian, who loves to stay fit by eating what i want, just in a little different way. So my work that starts in mouth, doesn’t end there. As they say, Mouth is the gateway to your health.

In the blogs to follow under this heading, i will be sharing with you some very interestingly customized recipes of the food which we generally crave for but are not able to eat, as they are tagged NOT SO HEALTHY.

Each recipe will have generally approximate ingredients, since i feel we should cook the food according to our taste buds. Along with that, the benefits of the ingredients will be generally discussed so that you are delighted, eating what you cook.

Then i can say, i am here to make you bake your own cake and eat it too!

So let’s begin this journey…

CHEERS and MERRY CHRISTMAS..!
