Gluten Free, Vegan, Sugar-Free Strawberry Muffins

 
Here is an amazing and healthy recipe that tastes great and would be perfect to bring with you for a day on set or a snack for the car on the way to the set or a go-see.

Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp xanthan gum
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 generous pinch of nutmeg
- 1/3 cup stevia

Wet Ingredients:
- ¼ cup coconut oil (melted)
- ½ cup almond milk
- 1 tbsp apple sauce
- 6–8 large strawberries (chopped)

Directions:
- Set the oven to 350ºF.
- Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl.
- Add the wet ingredients except the strawberries. If the mixture is a little too dry, add more almond milk or apple sauce. Mix it up with a spatula — or your hand. It works best if the consistency is in between a cake batter and a pancake batter.
- Add the strawberries.
- Use ¼ cup of batter per muffin cup.
- Bake for 20 minutes in total, (suggested) turn your pan 180 degrees every seven minutes or so to get an even bake.
- Eat standing up. It feels good like that.

Yields seven to eight cupcakes.

Healthy Eating Tips!

So being in the entertainment industry it's very important to stay fit and healthy, so here are some great tips to keep your cravings down and eat healthy.

1. EAT BREAKFAST

Breakfast truly is the most important meal of the day. When you sleep your body goes into a mini starvation mode and your metabolism slows down so when you wake up, eating something right away gets your metabolism going again. You even consume less calories later in the day if you eat breakfast! It also helps having something in your stomach so you feel full in the morning and don't overindulge during lunch or dinner.

2. KNOW YOUR PORTION SIZES

It is very important that you aren't over or under eating. Read labels and know how much of what kinds of foods you should be consuming throughout the day. There IS such thing as too much of a good thing, even with healthy foods. It is possible to eat too many fruits and veggies and you WILL gain weight, weird right? So make sure you're not eating too much and especially remember to eat enough. If your portion sizes aren't big enough your body isn't getting enough calories and will start to starve itself. You want to be full of energy and have a strong, healthy body ready to take on the industry!

3. SNACK

It is very important to snack throughout the day. Eating small portions of snack type foods during the day keeps your metabolism going and curbs your appetite and any potential cravings you may have. Things like nuts, fruit, veggies, oatmeal bars or even cheese and crackers are great options!

4. WATER

Be sure to drink lots of water throughout the day. You should be getting a minimum of 2L a day so pack your reusable water bottle and take it with you wherever you go. If water gets boring add flavouring like MiO's (my favourite is the Berry Pomegranate). They have no calories, sugar free, no artificial flavouring and taste great! They're also pretty inexpensive and last quite a while!


5. LUNCH: PROTEIN & WHEAT with a TREAT?

Be sure to eat a lot of protein and turn to whole wheat's instead of white flour based breads and pasta's. Have a balanced lunch and eat some meat on whole wheat bread and it's okay to treat yourself at lunch! Have a yummy treat with lunch, don't deprive yourself of sweets entirely, just be sure to keep the portions small.

6. AVOID YOUR TRIGGER FOODS (For Dieters)

We all have them...those foods that we just can't help ourselves with. May it be chocolate, potato chips or french fries...none of it is good for you especially if you can't help yourself from overindulging in them. Get your friends or family to be sure to keep you away from them and help restrain you from giving in. Know yourself and what you crave and stay as far away from it as possible and you'll be fine.
