Ensenada Chili Pot recipe

A cold yet hot ice-lolly – not for the faint hearted if lots of chilli flakes are added! Popular pineapples are full of goodness as well as flavour, they are the only source of the plant compound bromelain. Bromelain is linked with improved immune function, prevention of cancer and digestive health. Pineapples contain Vitamin C, an antioxidant, folate and trace minerals. Be cool and get a hot chilli ice lolly.

Eggs are eggactly what you need – especially when they are in this eggciting little dessert. They are a great source of high quality protein, they contain 13 essential vitamins and minerals, all nine essential amino acids, selenium, phosphorus, riboflavin, lutein and choline. Silk tofu has many of the same properties as eggs, it also contains protein, essential amino acids, selenium and phosphorus. Eggs have definitely laid their goodness in these eggceedingly tasty layers.

This delicious tropical smoothie is super healthy, refreshing and full of nutrition. At only 183 calories per serving and lots of nutrients such as vitamin C, vitamin B, vitamin K, calcium, potassium and even protein from the soya milk, there’s no excuse not to give it a try. If you like the idea of a green smoothie but find the taste of them a little bit bitter, then this recipe is definitely for you. The blend of banana, pineapple and orange juice together give a sweet and succulent taste – it’s incredible.

It took a while to get into the green smoothie trend. We much preferred a sweet tasting berry burst, but this delicious glass of green goodness is divine. The pineapple chunks add a delicious sweet taste to the drink so it doesn’t taste as bitter as other green smoothies. It makes the perfect healthy breakfast or post workout snack.
