We don't promote calorie counting so we don't have those values in our recipes.
But I give you an indication with the values below ;-)
1 Tablespoon of coconut oil is around 120 kcal
1 egg is approx. 150 kcal
Thank You,
Debra
I don't use a blender, so I make this in a low, wide-mouthed jar using an old-fashioned rotary egg beater (works a little better than just a whisk, but that works, too--immersion blender splatters too much for this).
sophie, I always go for the cocoa powder, and I think the trick is to get a good-quality one like Dagoba if you can (Hershey's or that kind of thing will not dissolve enough and might be why it tastes too eggy).
Beat the egg, add the cocoa powder, coconut oil or cream, and boiling water, then beat and you also get a lovely foam on the top.
I, too am allergic to eggs, and in addition, I am allergic to bovine (beef), shellfish (allergy to protein binder of iodine), and porcine (pork) proteins. I am finding that a low carb, essentially vegan diet that is varied--as suggested to avoid immune system reactions--is almost impossible. What I do eat for breakfast is vegan protein powder (low carb) in the mornings with ingredients such as greens, avocado for fat (or coconut oil), and frozen berries with milk alternative such as organic soy milk. While sipping it, I make delicious scrambled eggs for my family :-( When I need to vary my diet, most of the time I just don't eat thinking nothing is better than something that will cause an allergic reaction. Sometimes, I eat something I am allergic to and then deal with the inflammation that results from eating it. I am losing only a half pound per week. Sigh :-/
I have a heart condition that does not allow me to properly digest coconut oil. The last time I used it when dieting and exercising I went into cardiac arrest. What alternative oil would you suggest I use as a substitute in the recipes that call for coconut oil?
Eggs are nor a dairy product.
Ingredients:
1 egg
1 cup water
1 TBS butter
pinch of salt
sweetener/flavorings of choice***
heavy cream to taste
Put the water, butter, and salt in the microwave and bring to a boil. Crack the egg into the blender, then (while the blender is running) pour the boiling water in.
Add sweetener/flavorings and cream and blend again until well mixed.
***Some flavor combos I like:
- Hazelnut Hot Cocoa: 1 TBS cocoa, vanilla and hazelnut sugar-free Toriani syrups
- Eggnog: nutmeg, vanilla and caramel sugar-free Toriani syrups
- Pumpkin Spice: 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice, vanilla sugar-free Toriani syrup OR vanilla extract and sweetener of choice
Will be using this recipe again for a while! Thanks (:
Yes. In general, anything other than water, bone broth, tea or coffee (a splash of cream may be OK) is likely to break a fast.
