Rehydrating Dried figs

Image
I don't usually eat dried fruits because I heard that the sugar content is very high. However I found a bag of dried organic figs from Costco and decided to try them. I've never seen or tried a fresh fig before but I do know that they're all the hype in the health and fitness outlets. ps, they're beautiful fruits/flowers Ok, so in the beginning, I was just nibbling on the chewy and crunchy texture of the dried figs which took me back to a Korean snack I used to eat when I was little (don't recollect what it was, but it was probably  dried persimmon). I wanted to figure out more creative ways to use the dried figs, and eventually came about with fruit flavored water It tasted so clean and sweetly detoxifying. In the mason jar, I sliced up dried figs, sliced fresh strawberries, and threw in frozen blueberries. Let it sit in the fridge for a while so that the fig can be rehydrated and the water can become flavored. Love it!

Today I felt like eating Pancakes

So yummy! 1/2 cup milk with some protein powder to give a chunky texture 1/2 cups oats 2 eggs cinnamon honey blueberries (giving the pancake the blue hue) Blender Heat non-stick pan and I used olive oil Tossed some whole blueberries into the batter as it was cooking Made two big-sized pancakes :) Chopped up some strawberries and put it as a layer between the two pancakes. Ok confession, I totally spread some syrup on the pancakes. I'm a sucker food, pancakes, healthy, alternative, recipe, breakfast, brunch, fruits, blueberries, strawberries, protein powder, diet
