Identity Card of the Recipe

• 275 KCal Calories per serving

• Ingrediants

  • About 80 g of egg white
  • 40 g of peanuts
  • 50 g of oat flakes
  • 40 g of fructose
  • 10 g of inulin
  • 5 g of soy lecithin
  • 40 g of whey protein

  Materials Needed

  • Electric beater for whipping egg whites
  • Sac à poche
  • Baking paper
  • Drip tray (baking tray)
  • Mixer blends everything
  • Wooden spoon or lollipop pots
  • Steel spoon

  Preparation

  1. First, prepare the oatmeal starting from the flakes: then put the oat flakes in the mixer and blend them finely.
  2. So prepare the peanuts: after shelling them, blend them in the mixer with the addition of a spoonful of fructose.

  Why add some fructose?
  This is important to avoid that the oil that comes out of the dried fruit creates a lumpy and compact mass.

  3. In an electric mixer, beat the two egg whites until stiff. Slowly add the fructose, lowering the speed of the machine to avoid removing the egg whites.
  4. Then remove the electric whisk and slowly combine all the other ingredients, ie the oat flour, the finely chopped peanuts, the whey proteins, the inulin and the lecithin. Stir with a wooden spoon from bottom to top.
  5. Prepare a dripping pan lined with baking paper.
  6. Transfer the frothy mixture obtained into a pastry bag and create many sticks about 8 cm long on the baking paper.
  7. Bake at 180 ° C for 5-6 minutes, avoiding that they become too brown. Before removing the biscuits from the plate, wait until they have cooled down.

  Alice's comment - PersonalCooker

  In the zone diet, every meal must always include all the nutrients (carbohydrates, fats and proteins), so that the total caloric intake taken from the diet should derive precisely from:
  1. 40% carbohydrates
  2. 30% protein
  3. 30% fat
  Therefore, by taking nutrients in a proportionate and balanced way, we can reap extraordinary benefits because:
  1. The functions of the organism are checked
  2. An excellent balance is achieved
  3. It is possible to determine the hormonal responses (because it is from the hormones that, according to Barry Sears, the creator of the zone diet, all the functions of the organism are controlled)
  Let us remember that food is the most important and powerful natural medicine that man has at his disposal: let us therefore try to take advantage of the benefits that food offers us.

  This Zone diet biscuit recipe takes into account the well-known nutritional breakdown of: 40% Carbohydrates, 30% Proteins and 30% Lipids, coined and popularized by Barry Sears. However, although not included in the original Zone project, peanut and oat biscuits integrate perfectly with the recent changes in the aforementioned eating style. They, even containing complex carbohydrates, comply with all the general indications and the nutrient breakdown mentioned above. Each ZONE DIET protein biscuit with peanuts and oats weighs about 12.5g RAW and approximately 9.5g when cooked; based on what is mentioned in the famous eating style, each biscuit represents about ½ block of the ZONE DIET, therefore, to obtain 1 BLOCK, 2 ZONE DIET protein biscuits with peanuts and oats are needed.
