Simple Desserts Made From Fruit & Spices


lucia

Recommended Posts

I enjoy having something sweet to end a meal. I've been experimenting with combining fruit with spices as a simple alternative to less healthy desserts. I've been surprised at how nicely my experiments have turned out! A good result from my new gluten-free diet.

Here are a few successes:

-canned pineapple slices sprinkled with cilantro and paprika

-fresh pear dusted with chili powder (really!)

-sliced banana topped with cardamon powder

-prunes stewed in water with cloves

-cut-up kiwis and strawberries dribbled with a balsamic vinaigrette and dill

Let me know if you have your own versions. : )

How about corn meal and banana with some cocoa powder, cinnamon and honey cooked with coconut milk in the nuker for a few minutes.

pears simmered with bay leaf, allspice, and black pepper

pears simmered with lemon, cinnamon, and fresh ginger

pears and cranberries with lemon, ginger, and brown sugar

pears simmered with rosemary

pears (or peaches?) roasted with balsamic vinegar

(see theme: cooked pears. Roasting or braising would probably also work.)

melon with mint

strawberries with basil

I like crushing herbs with a little sugar (maybe 1/2 teaspoon) in a mortar and pestle to help release all the oils when you aren't cooking them.

Anyone tried anything with chives or sage? I have both coming out my ears, practically.

I like making raw "cookies" out of ground up flax seed meal, nuts, banana, and dates. Blend until its a paste, then roll up into balls. These taste especially good rolled in powdered cocoa and put in the freezer for a few hours.

Sometimes I have one of these for breakfast. They're packed with protein and nutrients and are a great way to start the day. They're great as a treat as well.

Baked or fried apples with cinnamon.

Great to see everyone else's posts!

I'm looking forward to stewing up some pears, and maybe some apples (with cinnamon?). And, naiiad, I definitely want to try out the your cookies!

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
