FUTURE FOOD....

Innovation in food is driven by our changing lifestyles, increasing awareness of health, and our demand for convenience and new flavours.

Every second year, thousands of people gather at Anuga, the world's largest international food fair held in Cologne, Germany, to view the latest trends and new foods. And this year exactly 1 week ago was EXPO -at Milan Italy.

Some foods we may see on our shelves within 5 years fruit juices with added fibre (adding back what's missing)

low-GI pasta
seaweed noodles
chewy sweets good for teeth (with sweetener, not sugar)

sports drinks based on the natural goodness of fruit
decadent chocolate low in saturated fat with added fibre, omega-3 and calcium
mini versions of everything
quinoa snacks
frozen sushi
meat-free mince made from soy and wheat proteins
food in dissolvable packs made from things like potato starch.
Future food that may be or no...
Foods we may see less of in future: Rice, pasta, bananas, foods laden with saturated fats: butter, lard, dripping and streaky bacon.

COOKIES ...:):):)

Buckeye Brownie Cookies combine the best qualities of three delicious desserts: buckeyes, brownies, and cookies. This easy cookie recipe has all of the flavor of a buckeye with the softness and chocolate delight of a chocolate cookie. Because the brownie cookies themselves are made with some doctored brownie mix, you can be sure that these treats are super easy to make. The creamy peanut butter pairs perfectly with the brownie cookies and adds a really pleasant texture. Topped with a bit of chocolate, these cookies are unstoppable.

Ingredients



  • 1 box fudge brownie mix (19.5 ounce or family size)
  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • 4 oz. (1/2 block) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 4 blocks (about 4 ounces) chocolate Candiquik
Instructions
Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, beat the brownie mix, butter, cream cheese, and egg. The dough will be a little sticky. Scoop the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet, making about 24 cookies. Smooth the edges of each to form a round cookie.

FITNESS & HEALTH




And here are the other 5 weight loss foods that are also really easy to prepare

6 Cottage Cheese 

If you need to up your protein intake, then cottage cheese is even more superior to greek yogurt, and has the same filling effects. Add some chopped strawberries or blueberries to give it some flavor if you wish.

7. Cruciferous Medley 
Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli are the stereotypical king of weight loss foods for a good reason: They are highly nutritious, highly filling, and very low in sugar and overall calories. You can make a decent tasting medley very easily. Just throw a bunch of broccoli, cauliflower, and brussel sprouts into a bowl and mix with salt, pepper, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, and onion powder, then bake it in the oven on a tray for ~15 minutes. Super easy.

FITNESS @ HEALTH


A lot of people think they have to become a sous chef if they want to eat healthy. But this is not true — healthy eating and easy eating are not mutually exclusive. In fact, on the tail end of my weight loss journey, I never ate anything that took more than 5 minutes to prepare in the kitchen.
Here are top 10 weight loss foods that are also really easy to prep.
1. Smoothies 
Smoothies are a godsend for people looking to get more plant based nutrition. But lets get real: prepping, cooking, and chewing through boring vegetables is a hassle. Instead, you can get a high powered blender and concoct an infinitely wide array of nutritious smoothies. My personal favorite? A homemade blended
  • 1 medium tomato
  • 1 medium carrot
  • ½ beet (peeling optional)
  • 1 cup/handful parsley
  • 1 thumb sized hunk of ginger
  • ¼ lemon, peeled

1 medium stalk of celery and/or 1 cup/handful of spinach
You get nearly a pound of vegetables in you that will keep you full for hours, and it’s only ~150 calories. 
2. Canned Salmon  
If you’re not a cooker, getting enough protein is always a challenge. One of the best ways to meet your protein requirements is with canned fish . Add some lemon juice, salt, pepper, and a tbsp of olive oil to give it some texture and flavor. Or try throwing in some hummus and chopped celery or peppers.  
3. Asparagus Asparagus is a choice green vegetable for fitness models because it’s nutritious as well as slightly diuretic to help your kidneys flush out the system. It’s also stupidly easy to prep. Just brush a bunch in olive oil and throw it in a toaster oven for ~10 minutes or fry it on a skillet.

4. Eggs and Egg Whites  
Eggs are arguably the best source of nutritious protein you can find, and prep wise they’re about as easy as it gets. I like to add liquid egg whites to the mix to up the protein ratio. Just throw a little butter in a skillet and fry them up, or scramble them, it doesn’t matter. You can chop up some produce like tomatoes or avocado and dump it in the mix to add some flavor.  
5. Crockpot Chicken Breast

Chicken is cheap, filling, high protein, and low calorie.
However, making decent tasting and tender chicken breast is very easy with a crock pot. You literally just stack in 4 or so breasts, season with some salt and pepper, and put it on high for 2.5-3 hours. You don’t need to marinate or anything like that, because the chicken will simmer in it’s own juice and come out very tender.
