Is peanut butter healthy? There are now countless types of peanut butter and one claims to be healthier than the other peanut butter.

That is why we went looking for some fun DIY recipes for peanut butter and nut pastes. And during our search we also came across a healthy Nutella, I mean?!

Are you also crazy about that snooze button? The moment you actually get out of bed is often far removed from the moment you had planned to do so. You probably quickly look at the clock to estimate how long you can dream under that lovely, warm shower. With luck, you then have just enough time to shower, put on clothes and then it is actually always a choice between make-up and hair, or breakfast. No breakfast. And that means nine times out of ten that you have to score your breakfast somewhere on the way. And no shit Sherlock, that is indeed often not the best or healthiest breakfast you could have imagined.

That's why we often do breakfast prepping on Sundays, so we don't skip breakfast and start the day (despite the lack of time) just right. With these paleo cookies made from almond flour and banana, that always works out well. Will you join in our Sunday ritual?

In the supermarket you have plenty of choice when it comes to jam. Raspberry jam, forest fruit jam, apricot jam, strawberry jam. Not only in terms of taste you have so much choice that you really get serious choice stress, because should you choose light or without sugar!? What is really healthy jam? One thing is certain: jam from the supermarket is usually not really healthy. Jam is all too often a viscous form of sugar with a color.. Yum, right? 😉 The jars of jam that you find in the supermarket often only contain 35% fruit and the fruit generally no longer contains the healthy properties. This is because a large part of the nutritional values ​​​​in jam are boiled out. Now unfortunately we can't do much about that, but we can about those added sugars! Our banana bread deserves this sugar-free jam with chia seeds.

A breakfast on the go is not for everyone. There are also people (yes, they really exist) who jump out of bed half an hour earlier to make breakfast AND eat it too!

That's not how these things work.

This green stuff is becoming increasingly well-known and is extremely popular. Matcha is Japanese green tea ground into a powder.
