- PANDAN NICE CREAM
How to make Pandan Nice Cream? Pandan Nice Cream with Banana Bread Granola, anyone? This beautiful Pandan Nice Cream is developed by Svetlana, a Brisbane based vegan health and food blogger. But What Exactly Is Nice Cream? Banana-based ice cream may be the original nice cream, but the term has come to represent any fruit-based, vegan, dairy-free treat free from artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, and added sugar. Take our new three-ingredient mango and strawberry nice creams, for example. A banana is added to each to ensure a creamy texture, but the other fruits are the stars of the show. The technique is so popular that there are entire cookbooks and even brick-and-mortar ice cream stores dedicated to the stuff. In her book Guilt-Free Nice Cream, author Margie Broadhead describes nice cream as a “healthy, banana-based alternative to ice cream, which happens to also be delicious and super easy and quick to make.” In Nice Cream: 30 Guilt Free Banana Ice Cream Desserts, author Dani Spies defines nice cream as “a low-calorie, low-fat, plant-based alternative to traditional ice cream that also happens to be delicious and packed with nutrients.” What About All These New “Light” Ice Creams? Are They Nice Creams? Freezer aisles are now filled with pints advertising their ice cream as “light,” “high-protein,” “low-calorie,” “good-for-you” alternatives to ice cream. But, not all are nice creams. That’s right — the Halo Tops and coconut-based vegan ice creams (often filled with added sugar or sugar substitutes) of the world are not nice creams. The only commercial products that comes to mind as nice creams are Daily Harvest’s Nice Cream Sundaes, made primarily with banana, cauliflower, and a variety of nuts, and sweetened with dates. But hey, why buy make your own - here's a recipe that you might like to try :- INGREDIENTS : * 2 frozen bananas 🍌 * 1 frozen kiwi 🥝 * Handful spinach 🥬 * 1/4 cup coconut cream 🥥 * 2 teaspoons @my.blue.tea Pandan Powder 🌿 * 1 teaspoon @my.blue.tea Pandan Liquid Extract * Splash of water/plant milk 🥛 ** Add-ins: protein powder, chia powder and flaxmeal Pandan Nice Cream just in time for Spring as the weather is warming up BUY PANDAN POWDER / PANDAN LIQUID EXTRACT NOW METHOD: GRANOLA Blend together: * 2 bananas 🍌 * 1/2 cup coconut milk 🥛 * 1/4 cup dates, pitted * A squeeze of molasses * 1 tsp vanilla * A pinch of salt 🧂 * 1 tsp Mesquite Powder or similar * 1/2 tsp cinnamon * 2 tbsp peanut butter 🥜 In a large bowl combine: * 1 cup+ rolled oats * 3/4 cup mixed nuts 🌰 * 1/2 cup mixed seeds * 2 bananas, sliced into coins 🍌 METHOD : * Pour the banana and coconut milk mixture into the dry mix and stir to coat evenly. * Spread into an even layer onto a lined baking tray. * Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes to achieve a soft oatmeal bake, or 25 minutes for crunchy granola (stirring halfway through). 🌞💖 BUY BUTTERFLY PEA TEA Brew Blue Tea today!

I live in the sunny San Francisco bay area with my husband and two beautiful daughters. I grew up in Bulgaria – a faraway place where we ate tomatoes and peppers for breakfast, we drank plain yogurt with water at dinner, and we took hours to prepare our meals because everything was made from scratch (even the condiments).

- KAFFIR LIME LEAF BBQ LAMB
TRUE BLUE COCONUT RICE with KAFFIR LIME LEAF BBQ LAMB Another Kaffir Lime Leaf recipe for you to try at home. This is an easy and yummy one and an Ozzie thingy, BBQ + Lamb....... Can't wait for Spring, try this tomorrow :- Ingredients : The Lamb 12 lamb cutlets or lamb loin chops 1 medium onion, chopped 3 cloves garlic 1 sachet (10g) My Blue Tea Kaffir Lime Leaf Powder 1 tsp ground turmeric 1 tsp salt (season to taste) A few grinds of ground black pepper (season to taste) 1 Tbsp soft brown sugar or palm sugar 1 Tbsp soy sauce ½ cup of dessicated coconut The Rice 3 bowls of uncooked Jasmine rice (reserve one bowl to make the blue rice) 800ml or 2 x 400ml cans of coconut milk (reserve 250ml for the blue rice) 1 tsp salt + a pinch 1 tsp My Blue Tea blue pea flower powder The Veg 2 carrots cut into matchsticks ¼ cabbage, sliced Handful of green beans, ends cut off, halved 1 sliced red onion 1 jar Saucy Wench Satay Sauce or similar 1 tbsp rice vinegar 1 tbsp soy sauce Toasted sesame seeds and crushed peanuts for garnish Lamb infused with Kaffir Lime Leaf Powder served with True Blue - Butterfly Pea Blue Rice Method : (1) Place onion, garlic, My Blue Tea Kaffir Lime Leaf Powder, turmeric, salt, black pepper, brown sugar or palm sugar and soy sauce into a food processor and process until fine. (2) Mix in dessicated coconut so it forms a paste. Do not be tempted to eat all the paste because it smells so good! (3) Press the paste onto your lamb chops and marinade for 2 hours or overnight in the fridge. (4) Cook the Rice - Rinse the rice a few times and place into a pot. Separate out one bowl of rice into a smaller pot. Add water to cover the rice in both pots (5) Add My Blue Tea blue pea flower powder to the smaller pot and soak both portions of rice for 1-2 hours. (6) Remove the lamb from the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature. (7) Drain both pots of rice separately, then add in 550ml coconut milk into the larger pot and 250ml into the smaller pot. Fill each pot with water so that the liquid covers the rice by one knuckle of your forefinger (this is scientific rice-cooking method!) (8) Add 1 tsp of salt into the larger pot and a pinch of salt into the smaller one, and give each pot a stir. (9) Cover and heat on a high heat, checking to see the tiniest little rattle in the lid. (10) When the lid starts to rattle, put it on a low heat. (11) Check the rice after 10 minutes or so, and fluff the rice, then cover again. Test it’s doneness, and if it is dry, but the rice is not done, add a little boiling water, mix it in, then cook, checking again in 5 minutes. (12) Repeat this process until the rice is done. It should only take once - but it depends on the type of rice and the fat content of the coconut cream. (13) While the rice is cooking, make the vegetables. Heat the Saucy Wench Satay Sauce in a wok, or deep fry pan, and splash in the vinegar and soy sauce. Once it starts bubbling, add in the onions and stir the onions to loosen. (14) Once the onions are soft, add in the carrots, and let it all simmer, uncovered, until the carrots are just soft, but still firm on the bite. (15) Add the cabbage and green beans and stir and heat through for another 2 minutes. Take it off the heat and allow the vegetables to absorb the sauce. (16) Cooking the Lamb. Grill the lamb on a hot BBQ for 3 to 5 minutes on each side depending on how you’d like your meat cooked. Let the meat rest for another 3 to 5 minutes. (17) Plating. Place the cooked blue rice in a bowl then top with the white rice. Press down to flatten, then turn it over onto a plate. Pile on the lamb chops, and the veggies with that delicious sauce and sprinkle with the sesame seeds and chopped nuts. BUY KAFFIR LIME LEAF POWDER NOW Butterfly Pea Tea - so blue, so yum!

Brewing your Blue Tea Anthocyanins are a type of flavonoid, a class of compounds with antioxidant effects. Found naturally in a number of foods, anthocyanins are the pigments that give red, purple, and blue plants their rich colouring. In addition to acting as antioxidants and fighting free radicals, anthocyanins may offer anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and anti-cancer benefits. Anthocyanins are so powerful that tests have shown that they contain twice the antioxidant power of vitamin C! In herbal medicine, anthocyanin-rich substances have long been used to treat a number of conditions (including high blood pressure, colds, and urinary tract infections). Recent research suggests that anthocyanins may also help fend off major health problems, including heart disease and cancer. Anthocyanins content in Butterfly Pea flower, the main ingredient in our Blue Tea In herbal medicine, anthocyanin-rich substances have long been used to treat a number of conditions (including high blood pressure, colds, and urinary tract infections). Recent research suggests that anthocyanins may also help fend off major health problems, including heart disease and cancer. Food Sources Anthocyanins are found in berries, red onions, kidney beans, pomegranates, grapes (including wine), tomatoes, acai, bilberry, chokeberry, elderberry, and tart cherries. Research on Anthocyanins : Take a look at several key findings on Anthocyanins and their health effects. (1) Heart Disease Anthocyanins may enhance heart health, according to a 2010 report published in Nutrition Reviews. The report's authors note that Anthocyanins appear to improve cholesterol levels and blood sugar metabolism, as well as fight oxidative stress (a process known to play a role in heart disease).Dietary intake of Anthocyanins may also help prevent high blood pressure (a major risk factor for heart disease), according to a 2011 study from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

In a 2008 study from the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, scientists found that mice fed an anthocyanin-enriched high-fat diet for eight weeks gained less weight than mice fed a high-fat diet without Anthocyanins. (3) Cancer Anthocyanins may aid in the prevention of breast cancer, according to a laboratory study published in Phytotherapy Research in 2010. In test-tube experiments, scientists showed that anthocyanins extracted from blueberries helped inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells. (4) Using Anthocyanins for Health Getting your fill of anthocyanin-rich fruits and vegetables may help boost your overall health by offering up an array of nutrients.

Enjoy ------ Keep in mind that supplements haven't been tested for safety and due to the fact that dietary supplements are largely unregulated, the content of some products may differ from what is specified on the product label. Also keep in mind that the safety of supplements in pregnant women, nursing mothers, children, and those with medical conditions or who are taking medications has not been established. You can get tips on using supplements, but if you're considering the use of anthocyanins, talk with your primary care provider first. Self-treating a condition and avoiding or delaying standard care may have serious consequences.
