Banana Strawberry Cream

Here's a delicious low-fat dessert with almost no sugar but a lot of taste and nutrients... I just love the banana-strawberry-honey combination. And it's so quick to make!

Ingredients

• 2 large ripe bananas
• 150 g strawberries
• 1 tsp. honey
• 500 g low-fat yoghurt, vanilla flavor
• unsweetened cocoa

Steps

1. Mash bananas and strawberries and mix with honey. Spoon the mixture into 4 dessert bowls.
2. Spread the yoghurt evenly on top.
3. Dust with a bit of cocoa and serve immediately.

Tips

• You can prepare the cream some time in advance and keep it in the fridge. In that case, put the cocoa on only shortly before you serve it.
• This dessert looks very nice in little glass bowls because it’s a layer dessert. But if you like, you can also mix all the ingredients together.
• If you don’t like the vanilla flavor, use plain yoghurt and add a tsp. of cinnamon.

Baked Fish With Mushrooms And Pepper

A great oven-baked fish and veggie dish that you will surely love. I admit, this recipe takes a bit more than 30 minutes (approximately 45-50) but if you have this bit of more time it’s definitely worth the extra 20 minutes. After all, it will take less than half an hour to get it on the way, the rest of the time it can happily cook alone in the oven.

Ingredients

• 4 large fish filets
• salt, cayenne pepper
• 1 onion, sliced
• 2 green peppers, cut into bite-size pieces
• 250 g mushrooms, sliced
• 50 g low-fat cheese, grated

Steps

1. Preheat the oven on 200°C.
2. Season the fish filets with salt and cayenne pepper and place them into a slightly greased ovenproof dish (if you have one of these great non-stick coated ones that don’t need greasing, even better).
3. Spread the onions, pepper and mushrooms over the fish filets and sprinkle with cheese.
4. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes, then open it up and grill it for 5 minutes until the cheese is slightly brown.
5. Serve with rice.

Serves 4.

Dreamy Chocolate Cream

This chocolate cream is prepared quickly but tastes much nicer than the instant pudding because of the “real” chocolate you use. If you like, you can add some spices like cinnamon and a little bit of ground gloves and nutmeg to make it taste even more special. Instead of spices you can also add a bit of rum, brandy or other liquors you like. You might want to sweeten it a bit, choose natural sweeteners if you should not have sugar.

Ingredients

• 1 packet of chocolate pudding powder (or 60 g corn flour and 4 tbsp. cocoa)
• 60 g dark chocolate
• 375 ml milk
• Optional: Spices or liquor to taste

Steps

1. Mix the pudding powder with the milk in a pot and add the chocolate.
2. Slowly heat it, frequently stirring, until the chocolate has melted.
3. Bring to boil, continuously stirring, and let it boil a few moments until it thickens.

Now you just need to decide whether you have the patience to wait until the pudding has cooled down, or if you prefer, eat it hot.
