Pastries are so damn good, but so damn unhealthy, they should be illegal, seriously though, they should be. However, that’s never going to happen so I thought I would healthify a French pastry that is utterly tantalizing! The eclair!

This dessert is sugar, wheat, dairy, gluten, soy and nut free and it’s vegan too if you use a flax substitute. What truly makes these eclairs so utterly mouth-pleasing, is the filling…. Because the protein powder I used to fill these pastries… THE BEST STUFF ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET!

It’s called NuZest (https://www.nuzest-usa.com/store?af=gigieatscelebrit) and it’s a COMPLETE vegan protein that is easily digestible and has roughly 21 grams of protein per serving! It’s completely TOP NOTCH and comes in 4 flavors – Chocolate, Vanilla, Cappuccino, and Strawberry! As for my favorite flavor, yeah, I cannot tell you because I crave them ALL!

Here is what’s needed to make these PALEO and VEGAN FRIENDLY elcairs!

For La Pậte (dough)

3/4 Cups Coconut Flour
1/2 Cup Egg Whites (or flax egg equivalent)
1 Tbs Baking Stevia
2 Tbs Coconut Butter
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
5 Drops Toffee Stevia (optional)

Pour Le Remplissage (makes enough filling for ONE éclair – make 4 batches, each a different flavor) *You may have a little extra filling… Use for dipping!

1 Scoop NuZest Vegan Protein Powder (either vanilla, strawberry, chocolate or cappucinno)
4 Tbs Unsweetened Vanilla Coconut Milk
1 Tsp Coconut Flour
1/2 Tsp Xanthan Gum

Watch the video for the instructions on how exactly to make these! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED AT ALL! I swear! Even French people would approve… Oh wait, I am French and I completely approve, LOL!

The beneficial effects of pomegranate have been known for centuries and the fruit itself has been a symbol of health and prosperity across many cultures. Pomegranate has reportedly been used medicinally to help prevent diseases such as diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular diseases and arthritis. It also has anti-microbial properties, anti-inflammatory properties, improves skin health and oral health. In addition it also helps people age slower. That is because pomegranate (like many other fruits) contains antioxidants, which prevent free radicals in our body to engage in oxidation process that damages our cells. Our goal was to prepare a food supplement from pomegranate juice extract. We focused on successful encapsulation of antioxidants found in pomegranate juice to prevent them from decomposing. We used two methods: lyophilization and micro-encapsulation. We micro-capsulated this dry extract with inulin into a polysaccharide shell in order to achieve long term stability. From all the different polysaccharides, inulin was chosen because of its prebiotic properties, so our food supplement would have additional positive health effects. Results of our research suggest that the size of micro-capsules has an influence on the velocity and quantity of released anthocyanins and antioxidants. Furthermore, we discovered that the concentration of pomegranate juice has a limited impact on the elimination of anthocyanins and antioxidants. In other words, even though the concentration is higher, it does not mean that the amount of anthocyanins and antioxidants in micro-capsules will also be higher.

Even though we still need to determine a repeatable method with the optimal conditions which would enable the highest possible efficiency of the process, we managed to successefully prepare microcapsules.
