    About this ebook

    Snog is the hip new food brand responsible for bringing deliciously healthy frozen yogurt to London. Rob Baines and Pablo Uribe discovered frozen no-fat organic yogurt, (topped with fresh fruit and drizzled with the natural sweetener agave nectar) in Miami and the idea for an innovative business was born. They now have four super-stylish London stores - in South Kensington, Soho, Westfield and Covent Garden - serving frozen yogurt, toppings, drinks and gluten-free bakes. All are healthy and totally delicious treats you can enjoy without the guilt. In this irresistible new cookbook they share 60 of their favourite recipes with chapters on Frozen Treats, Gluten-free Baked Treats, Raw Food Treats and Smoothies & Drinks. Each recipe makes the most of delicious natural ingredients and is accompanied by an inspirational health tip. From Pomegranate Vanilla Pod Frozen Yogurt to a Iced Almond Chai, being good never tasted so great.Before founding Snog, Pablo Uribe worked in architecture and interior design, including designing a Miami beach house for Calvin Klein, and Rob Baines worked in investment banking and the speciality coffee market.

      The photographs are beautiful, the food looks good and the recipes aren't too complex. However, the founders admit that they gave up gluten after meeting with a nutritionist friend when they admitted they felt tired after eating a meal and their nutritionist suggested they give up gluten. This is not what a lot of experts I have read suggest, and if you are actually Coeliac you won't be able to get the tax breaks if you eliminate gluten from your diet before testing. There is no way to know if it's actually gluten or wheat you have the sensitivity to. Soapbox? Me? Yes! I've been gluten poisoned by folks who don't think that my gluten sensitivity is as serious as it is because of casual gluten eliminators.They use Agave nectar instead of sugar (there is some controversy about this, check other sources for info before accepting the comments here) then they move to Frozen treats; toppings; gluten-free baked treats; Raw Food treats and smoothies and drinks. Top it off with a comprehensive index and that's the book.I'm not taken with this book, it's not bad but it didn't really speak to me. If someone got it for me I wouldn't refuse it but I'm not adding it to my cookbook wishlist.

    SNOG Healthy Treats Cookbook - Pablo Uribe

    why eat Snog healthy treats?

    When we eat wholesome fresh ingredients, our bodies becomes leaner, our skin glows and our energy levels increase. Our whole lifestyle shifts and ultimately becomes healthier. These food choices are powerful decisions that dictate what we look like and how we feel. Taking responsibility for how we nourish ourselves goes far beyond food; it’s who we are; it’s how we relate to the planet. Ultimately, if food keeps us alive, shouldn’t we consume lively foods?

    Lively foods are whole, natural foods that contain valuable nutrients and support sustainability. As we consume these foods we enable our bodies to assimilate more nutrients and eliminate proper waste. Our bodies understand the composition of whole, natural foods and benefit from them when eaten in balanced amounts. The closer an ingredient remains to its pure and natural form, the more beneficial it will be for all of us. Ultimately, the origin, handling and quality of our food matters a great deal. It is our own responsibility to relate to the food we eat with greater consciousness. We need to stay informed about healthy and sustainable options. Choosing healthier foods should not mean sacrificing flavour in any way. It may mean exploring, planning or preparing foods with a bit more diligence, but that’s a small task in return for optimal health, well-being and longevity.

    This shift towards a healthier lifestyle will expand awareness in many aspects of our lives. Inevitably we develop interest in the stories behind our food, its origins and how it affects all of us. It becomes clear why we need to treat food with greater significance. It is our very own preventive medicine and it dictates the quality of our life. It is our vital energy source and we have the privilege of making the ‘best’ possible choice every time.

    Making the ‘best’ choice is crucial when it comes to eating sweet treats. Most of us love them, they are a celebration of life. Treats are a special delight; they should nourish our body and satisfy our soul. Choosing healthy treats will benefit our organs, our mind and our planet. May the recipes in this book inspire you to get adventurous and prepare many delicious healthy treats: food that we love and that loves us back.

    what is agave nectar?

    Agave nectar is a natural sweet alternative for people with sugar sensitivities and for those watching their nutrition. The agave plant is considered sacred in its native Central America, where its golden liquid is believed to purify the body and soul. Agave nectar is about 90 percent fructose and 10 percent glucose. This natural fructose has the lowest Glycaemic Index value (GI) of any sweetener (between 25 and 50 – refined sugar notches up a massive 92). This means that agave nectar will not raise our blood sugar levels and overstimulate the production of insulin. This fructose-rich nectar has a neutral, yet concentrated sweetness that makes it ideal for preparing wholesome natural recipes. Agave nectar comes in light, amber and dark varieties and is available from healthfood stores and some larger supermarkets. Its flavour intensifies with the colour and I would recommend using light agave nectar for the recipes in this book. There are different ways to produce agave nectar and it is important to choose a good-quality, organic, fair-trade brand. Look for one that has not been boiled, altered and stripped of its nutrients. The purest agave nectar will be labelled ‘raw agave nectar’ and is derived from the sap collected when the plant’s flower has been cut off. This nectar contains iron, calcium, potassium and magnesium. Of course, agave nectar, like all sweeteners, should be consumed in moderation.

    Agave nectar is widely available in health food stores and larger supermarkets. However, if you experience difficulty sourcing it, it can also be found at the following online stores:

    cooking notes

    • All spoon measurements are level, unless otherwise specified.

    • Eggs are medium unless otherwise specified and organic free-range eggs are strongly recommended.

    • Ovens should be preheated to the specified temperature. Recipes in this book were tested using a regular oven. If using a fan-assisted oven, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for adjusting temperatures.

    • When a recipe calls for the grated zest/peel of citrus fruit, buy unwaxed fruit and wash it well before using.

    Snog pure frozen yogurt

    We developed these recipes for the home, looking to achieve the tangy, fresh and clean tasting qualities of our frozen yogurt by using some of the same basic natural ingredients. At our shops we use specialized commercial equipment that imparts the right amount of air and maintains the perfect temperature for smoothness.

    720 ml / 3 cups plain Greek yogurt (0% fat)

    360 ml / 11⁄2 cups organic low-fat milk

    120 ml / 1⁄2 cup agave nectar

    2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

    an ice cream maker (optional)

    Makes about 1.4 litres / 1.5 quarts

    natural

    Whisk together the yogurt, milk, agave nectar and lemon juice in a large bowl. Transfer to the bowl of an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s directions, until creamy and smooth. If you do not have an ice cream maker, pour the mixture into a freezerproof container. Put on the lid and place in the freezer. After about 45 minutes check the mixture. As it starts to freeze around the edges beat vigorously with a fork, whisk, electric hand mixer or spatula to break up the ice crystals. Repeat periodically until the mixture is frozen, about
