pesto ingredients + 1/2 cup sunflower seeds + 4-5 table spoons tomato paste + 5-6 dried tomatoes (oil free ones, not the ones soaked in oil) + 2 tea spoon apple cider vinegar + 2 tea spoon rapeseed oil (please use a high quality organic one) + 1 tea spoon apple pectin (if you cannot find it - use honey instead) + 2 tea spoon dried basil + 1/2 lemon (juiced) + 2 tea spoons paprika + 3-4 table spoons water + salt & pepper to taste add all the ingredients to your blender and blend till smooth. You might have to add a little more water.  I served the pesto on toasted rye sourdough bread (Brasciandèla - Bündner Roggensauerteigbrot by  John Baker ) - AN AMAZING MATCH!! 

here it is. the recipe for my oil and refined sugar free granola. so delicious and loaded with a lot of healthy nutrients. to me mornings are complete bliss! what's better than a fresh start into something new?! a new day, which has a lot to offer. dive into another (mundane) adventure. 
maple-banana granola (1 baking tray)  + 5-6 table spoons maple syrup + 2 mashed bananas + 1 cup oats + 1/4 cup chia seeds + 1/4 cup sunflower seeds + 1/4 cup flax seeds + 1/4 cup sliced almonds + juice of 1 lemon + 2 tea spoons cinnamon + 1 handful pumpkin seeds + 10 dates (+/-) finely chopped
preheat the oven (150°) mash the bananas with a fork together with the maple syrup. then combine all the ingredients beside the pumpkin seeds and the chopped dates and mix well. pour the mixture onto your baking tray and bake for around 15' on 150°. Stir ones in a while. Now turn the temperature a down to 100° and bake for another 15'. Don't forget to stir :)  At the end you can add the pumpkin seeds and dates, because you don't want them to be blackened. Bake for another 5-10'. Turn the oven off but leave the granola inside the oven till completely cool. Store in an airtight container and enjoy with your favourite fruit, yoghurt / milk.
 

papaya boat (serving size: 1) + 1/2  papaya + 1/2 lime + fresh fruit + seeds, dried fruit, nuts + granola (optional) + honey (optional) cut the papaya lengthwise into half. remove the black seeds (which shouldn't be eaten during pregnancy > read above). Drizzle lime juice over it.  Fill the papaya with your choice of yogurt (I usually go for a plain, low in fat Greek style one). Now top it with your choice of fruit. I like berries - a lot. But since it's winter time, I always get them frozen. Sprinkle nuts, seeds, dried fruit, granola over it. Whatever you like! And maybe you want to add some honey.  Enjoy! 

Recipe (2 servings) + 250 g noddles of your choice (I used noddles made out of beans from  Edamama ) + 1 tablespoon olive oil + leek (as much as you like) + 1 garlic clove + 2-3 table spoons plain yoghurt + 1 table spoon cream cheese + 1 table spoon milk of your choice (ironically I used almond milk) ;)  + 1 egg + salt and pepper + grated parmesan / emmentaler or gruyère cheese cook the noodles as directed.  In another pan heat the olive oil. Toss the leek and garlic into the heated frying pan. stir for 3-4 minutes. Now you add the cooked noodles, yoghurt, cream cheese and the milk. Stir well till combined. Add the egg and mix everything. Turn down the heat, the egg will scramble anyways.. Season with salt and pepper and serve with grated cheese on top! Enjoy :) 

Recipe (4 servings) + 1 1/2 cups oats (extra fine) + 1/4 cup flaxseeds + 4-5 dates, chopped into tiny pieces + 1 1/2 cups almond milk + juice of one lemon / lime / orange (I like it tart, so I go for lemons or limes) + 1/4 cup frozen berries mix the upper ingredients and put into your fridge for a couple of hours (preferably over night), you may want to add more almond milk / citrus juice after soaking, make sure that the liquid covers the mass.  + 2-3 kiwis cut into tiny pieces + 1-2 bananas, slices   I then add the cut fruit, since I want to quarantee freshness. Before serving I decor the Birchermuesli with some more fruit, berries and I sprinkle some seeds (flax / hemp / sunflower seeds) over it. You could also chop nuts and put on top.
