I don't like to be radical when it comes to food. I love the "food" subject and what I really like is to do research. I mean, I was vegetarian for 8 years of my life. Vegan for 6 months. But since I decided to join the food area I had the decision that I had to experiment everything - even things that I don't like and I THINK doesn't look (or taste) good. I HAVE TO TRY IT ALL.

That's nothing is off the table for me. Also I now that there are people with health problem everywhere: lactose intolerants, celiacs, fructose intolerant, allergies, etc. Besides people who can't REALLY consume some kinds of food, there are those people who doesn't want to consume certain foods.

To be honest I don't do diets. Sometimes I really go easy on carbs and sugar, for example, to lose some pounds (I try to go ease on these things in general, but you know, everybody has those days, right?). That's why I follow vegan, whole30, ketogenic, gluten free profiles and other kinds of diets on Instagram - I like to know it all! Mainly because if a friend has some restriction I can deal with it when he or she comes to my house. I remember my vegetarian days when my family where really lost whenever I went to their place because they didn't know what to do for me (here's a tip: you can NEVER go wrong with French fries for a vegetarian/vegan person).

So one day I was wandering by Instagram when I found this woman profile. Gisela's so athletic, she exercises everyday, she eats so clean and well. I was mesmerized. Also because she's gorgeous and so fashion. Sometimes she posts pictures of her meals and the recipes, that's where I saw the basic recipe of this bread. She says she bakes it on a muffin tray, but I prefer to use a loaf pan, just because it looks like bread!

Yeah, there's a piece on the top missing - I couldn't wait!

Just a reminder: you don't need to be fitness to try "fitness food". Let go of the labels, it's just food. Here's one thing that you should pay attention: you should eat REAL FOOD. And the only label you should my is the one on the package - if you can't say the name of the ingredient or doesn't recognize it, you should think twice before consuming it. Simple, huh? So let's check the recipe:

GLUTEN FREE CARROT BREAD

INGREDIENTS

2 eggs
2 cups almond flour
2 medium carrots
2 tbsp ghee
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp turmeric (optional)
1/2 tsp thyme (optional)
1/2 tsp dried oregano (optional)
1 tsp chia seeds (optional)
1 tsp poppy seeds (optional)
olive oil to grease the loaf pan

INSTRUCTIONS

Pre heat the oven at 350F (180º C). Grease the loaf pan with olive oil. On the blender mix the eggs, carrot, ghee, salt and pepper. Then add the optional seasoning - turmeric, thyme, dried oregano and chia seeds. On a bowl put the almond flour, baking powder and poppy seeds. Pour the liquid in the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Transfer to the loaf pan and bake for 80 minutes or until a stick comes out clean of it. Let it cool on the pan and storage on the fridge.

Disclaimer: the spices on the recipe are optional. If you want to add other things instead, go for it. My suggestion: basil, flaxseeds, cayenne pepper, sumac, Parmesan cheese, sesame seeds, chili pepper flakes, etc. It's made with almond flour, so it's not nut free :(

Now here's how I am loving to have it: I put two small slices on the fridge and let it TOAST (got it?) for a few minutes. Then I add a poached egg on top and sprinkle some "everything but the bagel" Trader Joe's seasoning. On the side there's mashed avocado with a splash of lime, salt and cayenne pepper, topped with feta cheese. And a cup of coffee and almond milk ❤.
