      • Almonds – 20 g (0.7 oz), for topping

    Step-by-Step Instructions:

    Step 1: Prepare the Pastries

      1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
      2. Roll Out the Puff Pastry: If using store-bought puff pastry, roll it out on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into 8-10 squares or rectangles, depending on the size you prefer for the pastries.
      1. Apply the Egg Wash: Brush each pastry square with the beaten egg to give it a golden, shiny finish when baked.
      2. Add Almond Flakes: Sprinkle the almond flakes evenly on top of each pastry, pressing gently so they stick to the egg wash.
      3. Bake: Transfer the pastry squares to a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up. Once done, set aside to cool completely.

    Step 2: Prepare the Nutella Cream Filling

      1. Make the Vanilla Pudding: In a medium saucepan, combine 60 g of vanilla-flavored pudding powder with 50 g of sugar and 300 ml of milk. Whisk together until smooth and heat over medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency. Remove from heat and let it cool.
      2. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip 200 ml of whipping cream until soft peaks form. Set it aside.
    1. Mix Nutella with Pudding: Once the pudding has cooled, fold in the Nutella and stir until smooth and well combined.
    2. Combine with Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the Nutella pudding mixture, creating a light and fluffy cream filling.

    Step 3: Assemble the Pastries

      1. Slice the Pastries: Once the puff pastries have cooled, carefully slice each one in half horizontally, creating a top and bottom layer.
      2. Fill with Nutella Cream: Spoon a generous amount of Nutella cream onto the bottom half of each pastry. Layer a few slices of fresh strawberries on top of the cream for a burst of freshness.
      3. Close the Pastries: Place the top half of the pastry over the cream and strawberries to close the pastry.

    Step 4: Prepare the Banana Coffee Smoothie

      1. Dissolve Coffee: In a small cup, dissolve the 20 g of instant coffee in 100 ml of hot water. Set aside to cool slightly.
      2. Blend the Smoothie: In a blender, combine the bananas, 150 ml of milk, 30 ml of whipping cream, 20 g of powdered sugar, 5 ml of vanilla essence, and the cooled coffee. Blend until smooth and creamy.
    1. Top with Almonds: Pour the smoothie into glasses and sprinkle the chopped almonds on top for a crunchy garnish.

    Step 5: Serve

      1. Serve the Pastries: Place the filled Nutella pastries on a serving plate, dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve alongside the refreshing banana coffee smoothie.

    Cooking Tips:

      • Puff Pastry: If using frozen puff pastry, make sure to thaw it properly before rolling it out to avoid cracking.
      • Nutella Cream: Allow the pudding mixture to cool before mixing it with Nutella to prevent the whipped cream from melting and losing its fluffy texture.
      • Smoothie Variations: You can add a pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder to the smoothie for an extra depth of flavor.
    • Almond Flakes: Toast the almond flakes in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes over medium heat until they are golden and fragrant. This enhances the flavor and gives a crunchy texture.

    Storage:

      • Pastries: The Nutella cream-filled pastries are best eaten fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep them in an airtight container to maintain freshness. To refresh them, you can reheat the pastries in a 180°C (350°F) oven for 5 minutes before serving.
      • Smoothie: The banana coffee smoothie is best consumed immediately. However, if you have leftovers, store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours in a sealed container. Stir well before serving.

    Egg diet: How to lose 5 kilos in a week with boiled eggs

    I must emphasize that such a diet, which relies exclusively on boiled eggs, is not balanced and is not recommended. Such a drastic and one-sided diet can lead to malnutrition, insufficient nutrient intake and other health problems. It is important to practice a balanced diet that provides all the necessary nutrients to properly support the body.

    However, if you are planning a healthy diet that includes eggs, you can consume eggs in moderation as part of a balanced meal. Here is an example of a balanced meal with eggs:

    Breakfast:
    2 hard boiled eggs
    Whole wheat bread or whole wheat English muffin
    A serving of fruit (for example, berries or half a grapefruit)
    Lunch:
    Mixed salad with grilled chicken breast strips and hard-boiled eggs
    Balsamic vinaigrette and vinaigrette
    A small portion of whole wheat or quinoa pasta
    dinner:

    Baked salmon with steamed vegetables and half an avocado
    A small portion of brown rice or sweet potato
    Snack options (if necessary):
    A handful of nuts and a piece of fruit
    Greek yogurt with honey and almonds
    It’s also important to drink plenty of water and include regular exercise in your daily routine to promote healthy weight loss. It is strongly recommended to consult a dietitian or doctor before making any major changes to your diet to ensure that you are getting all the necessary nutrients and your health is maintained.

    Ingredients

    • For the Bread:
      • 1/4 cup sugar
      • 3 large eggs
      • 1/2 cup canola oil
      • 1/8 cup sour cream
      • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
      • Zest of 1 lemon
      • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
      • 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
      • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
      • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • For the Cream Cheese Swirl:
      • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
      • 3/4 cup powdered sugar

    Instructions

    1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan.
    2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, canola oil, sour cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.
    3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and sea salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
    4. Prepare Cream Cheese Swirl: In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth.
    5. Layer the Batter: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over it and use a knife to gently swirl it. Add the remaining batter and top with the rest of the cream cheese mixture, swirling again to create a marbled effect.
    6. Bake: Cover the pan loosely with foil for the last 20-30 minutes of baking to prevent browning. Bake for 65-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    7. Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan before slicing. This helps the cream cheese swirl set properly.

    Enjoy your Lemon Cream Cheese Bread as a delightful snack or dessert!

    Pro Tips

    1. Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your eggs and cream cheese are at room temperature. This helps create a smoother batter and a better cream cheese swirl.
    2. Zest Carefully: When zesting the lemon, avoid the bitter white pith. Use a microplane for finely grated zest that will distribute evenly throughout the batter.
    3. Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to a denser loaf.
    4. Use Fresh Lemon Juice: Freshly squeezed lemon juice will provide a brighter flavor compared to bottled lemon juice, enhancing the overall taste of the bread.
