Strawberry chip protein scone recipe

 

Do you have a soft spot for scones? Try these wheat and sugar free, high-protein scones for your next high tea.

What you'll need

The scones

  • 1 cup oat flour (ground quick oats)
  • ½ cup vanilla protein powder 
  • ¼ cup rolled oats
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 egg white
  • ¼ cup strawberry Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp almond milk
  • 3 sachets Stevia
  • 3 tbsp dark chocolate chips

Mixed berry jam

  • 1 cup frozen mixed berries (thawed)
  • 2 sachets of Stevia
  • 2 tsp chia seeds

Natural fat-free whipped 'cream' 

  • ½ cup non-fat dry milk 
  • ½ cup ice water 
  • 1 egg white  
  • 1 tsp lemon juice 
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar, sifted (you can use Stevia, quarter teaspoon or to taste)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

What you'll do

The scones

Preheat the oven to 220ºC.

Mix all the dry ingredients together and all the wet ingredients together.

Add the wet to the dry and fold together.

Stir in chocolate chips.

Add heaped tablespoon amounts to a parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Be careful that the tops reach golden, not brown. Enjoy with tea or cold almond milk.

The jam

Thaw frozen berries and, when thawed, puree. Add the berry puree to a small saucepan and add the Stevia and chia seeds.

Keep stirring the jam over low heat for 5 to 6 minutes – never leaving it unattended or to stick to the saucepan.

Let cool and serve with protein scones or your favourite toast or muffin. 

The cream

Put the ice water, egg white, and non-fat dry milk in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment. Beat on high for 4  to 5 minutes until it starts to thicken. Stop the machine to scrape down the sides of the bowl to get the milk powder incorporated.

 

Add the lemon juice and continue whipping on the highest speed for another minute or two until thick.

Lower the speed and slowly add sugar or Stevia, then vanilla. Beat until well mixed. 

 

Serve immediately with scones and jam.

Robyn Lawley: I don't do fad diets or fake food

Robyn Lawley is the face of Pantene , a swimware designer and cookbook author. Here, she tells us how she stays in shape. "I am an Australian size 16, which is really rare in the fashion world," Robyn says. "People don’t understand that models are so, so, so much smaller than I am. I’m trying to spread body love and body positivity because the message can get lost when people are focusing on things like weight loss stories; that’s not what I’m about." Instead of focusing on extreme diet plans , Robyn concentrates on getting fit and healthy. "I think exercise is a really great combat to depression, sadness and generally not feeling good about yourself," she says. "Fitness is where you get your endorphins and how you’re going to make yourself feel empowered. I like kickboxing, swimming and SoulCycle, which is a crazy American trend of cycling in the dark to crazy music. I’m terrible at it. I enjoy yoga as well. "I get into the trends like everyone...

How to stop yourself from overeating

  Wondering why you constantly overeat? Here are three factors that may be contributing to over-indulging.    It’s easy to over-dramatise the odd extra helping as a ‘binge’ or ‘blowout’, but if you are consistently eating more than your body needs, there may be good reasons.  The stick: Macro shortfall The human body’s drive for protein is so powerful that it will keep consuming food until its protein needs are met according to a University of Sydney study. As protein intake decreases, kilojoule intake increases, researchers reported. The fix: Consume 15 to 20 per cent of daily kilojoules from high-quality, low-fat protein sources. Lean meats, legumes, fish, eggs and tofu all qualify. The stick: Multitasking Whether it’s the portion sizes at your local, a bout of intense work stress or mindless nibbling in front of the telly, there’s a whole gamut of reasons why we eat more than what we need or when we’re not hungry at all .  The fix: Try to eat intuitively...
