Ingredients
8 oz cereal - i tried to use
1 golden grahams, but could
1 only buy
1 one-serving pack, which
1 wasn't quite enough, so
1 added some all-bran.
1 another time i might try
1 shreddies instead. american
1 readers feel free
1 to use no-fat graham
1 crackers (which i can't get)
1 instead
1 tbsp pear and apple spread (i
1 used pear and apricot, which
1 is
1 what i had - i expect apple
1 butter would be a good
1 substitute)
1 tin skimmed condensed milk -
1 if unavailable, then as
1 low-fat as you can
1 get
3 bananas, sliced lengthwise
1 about 8 oz cream substitute
1 i used fromage frais mixed
1 with quark, but
1 if that means nothing to you
1 then use yogurt or other
1 cream substitute.
Directions
The day before, boil unopened can of milk for three hours - don't let
it boil dry whatever you do. Allow to cool. Make biscuit base by
turning the cereal into crumbs, melting the fruit butter in the
microwave (only about 30 seconds), mixing the two together and
pressing down into the flan dish. Leave in the fridge to harden.
Please note that cereal crumbs quicker than digestives/graham
crackers do, so be prepared, or what you'll have is powder!
Next day, open the can of milk, which will have turned to toffee, and
spread it over the biscuit base - which will try and stick to the
toffee, so just swoosh it round as best you can. Top this with the
sliced bananas, and instantly with the cream substitute (if you hang
about, the bananas will go brown and ucky). Refrigerate until wanted.

The Zone Diet
The Zone diet is a diet initially suggested by Barry Sears in a series of books, publications and an associated website. The Zone diet is not specifically a fat reduction diet, however many 'zone dieters' believe that they really seem to lose a few pounds when following it. The main theory of the Zone Diet is that if you control the amount of insulin and glucogen (two hormones), then your body releases eicosanoids which puts the body in a state of balance which is a lot more healthful than normal, which is known as the zone. Sears states that if you get into this 'zone', your body is perfectly balanced and, as a result, doesn't convert energy to unsightly fat. The main technique of the zone system is to monitor and control the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins, and to ensure your diet has high levels of Omega 3 fish oils. The brassicas, Super foods that help with Your diet (includes Kale, Bok choy, Turnip greens and Radishes) Altthough not always popular with children, these vegetables are rich in vitamins (folate and vitamin c), minerals (selenium and potassium, for example), fibre, chlorophyll and antioxidents. Over and above their many other health and weight loss benefits, a few of these nutrients are believed by nutritionalists to help reduce the cancer risk in those prone to it.. |
