Chickpea Flour Pancakes & Slow Cooker Chicken & Vegetable Soup

Hey loves! In today’s video I’m showing you what I eat in a day! I’ve been focusing more on eating healthy, tasty and balanced meals and listening to my body as opposed to counting calories and it’s been working really well for me. I’m showing you a few recipes in particular my chickpea pancakes recipe and slow cooker chicken soup.

All recipes detailed below:)

Lemon Water

• Juice from half a lemon
• Mug of hot water

Combine both and drink:)

Celery Juice (no juicer needed:)

• 3 stalks of celery, chopped
• 1 apple, chopped
• Juice from one lemon
• Half inch of ginger root
• Water (coconut water tastes even better)
• Ice cubes to serve

1. Add ingredients to a blender with 2 cups of water and pulse until smooth
2. Pour through a fine mesh sieve and serve with ice cubes

Chickpea Pancakes with Berry Compote

• 50g chickpea/gram flour
• 25g of self-rising flour
• Water/Almond Milk
• Sweetener of choice (I’ve used maple syrup, honey and brown sugar and brown sugar tastes the best in my opinion)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla essence
• Olive oil to fry (optional)
• 1/4 cup of frozen berries

1. Mix all dry ingredients together and add in water or milk till you get your desired consistency. (Note a thicker batter will make thicker pancakes and a more runny batter will make the pancakes lighter)
2. Add in your sweetener of choice to taste
3. Fry in a lightly greased pan on medium heat for about 2 minutes on each side – this recipe should make 5 medium sized pancakes or 3 large ones
4. Warm the berries in the microwave for about one minute and serve with pancakes

Slow Cooker Chicken and Vegetable Soup

• 1kg of boneless, diced chicken thighs (chicken breasts will also work)
• 2 teaspoons garlic salt
• 1 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1 teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt
• 2 cups of homemade chicken stock (chicken stock recipe here)
• 4 cups of water
• 1 onion diced
• 4 garlic gloves diced
• 2 leeks diced
• 2 celery stalks diced
• 3 carrots diced

1. Season washed chicken with garlic salt, black pepper and pink Himalayan salt and transfer with remaining ingredients to a slow cooker and cook on high for 5 hours
2. Add your favourite seasoning to taste I used Maggi seasoning cubes, more garlic salt, all-purpose seasoning and chili powder.
3. Serve warm in a bowl and enjoy
