 How do you eat dessert and burn fat at the same time? I tell you what I would love to know this because I have a sweet tooth. I like eating Cornetto ice creams I like eating King Cones from the Chevron gas station down the road Boulevard I like going down to the Bristol farm supermarket and picking up a packet of chips on occasion It's my Achilles heel sometimes I got to tell you I love eating desserts and today we're gonna talk to a Expert in desserts. He's actually a health coach a chef and A model and we're gonna come up with three ways for you to eat dessert and burn fat at the same time It's a big welcome to Crosby Taylor. How are you Crosby? Good? Good? Hey James? How you doing mate? It's great to great to have you here. We you and I ran into one another well We actually met at the the bulletproof Conference Dave Asprey's bulletproof conference in Pasadena last year And then we ran into one another at the equinox gym on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood last week, didn't we? Yeah, everything you know happens for a reason. It's it's it's really cool to meet somebody and then have it kind of Come back together and in the kind of full form and both of us are doing very very similar things in the health field So it's just you know synchronistic Now I like I said in my intro there I love to eat it like I love it and I've gone and done healthy desserts before I've eaten Like I've done coconut cream based ice creams in my blend I've coconut milk and I've added some cacao powder. I've added a little bit of fruit and I've added You know some vanilla extract and things like that But then I've put some ice in and blended it But it wasn't quite the ice cream flavor and then I actually bought an ice cream making machine But it was too laborious and it didn't really quite work out And I don't really want to sit at home and cook and and bake cookies and healthy cookies I'm a guy on the run right like I don't Before we get into your healthy desserts Is there a way that we can do this quickly and efficiently without having to go like this is a pain in the arse I've got to use a blender. I got to like make I got to turn the oven I've got to learn how to be a chef and all that kind of stuff Yeah, I mean there are a couple simple different ways that you can create Something that's going to satisfy the sweet tooth One being just like like you said before some of these powders that you a lot of a lot of these superfood powders that Us health nerds have at home. You can throw a couple of them into Kind of like almost like a coffee cup like a circular round coffee cup And if you take the right powders like you're saying it could cow powder the right sweetener I really like a lecanto. I use a lot of lecanto and my stuff Which is a blend of monk fruit and erythritol and you know you flavor it right with like a pinch You know little pinch of pink salt and you got some stuff like MCT oil and ghee and these kind of things for the fats And if you can stir up something in a cup That will taste kind of like this kind of like chocolate fudge that's a really really quick and easy way to satisfy a sweet tooth and When like I said when you're somebody that has those kind of things at home It's just boom boom boom you just throw them all together and there you go You're on the couch scooping up a little chocolate dessert, you know reading your favorite book Well, good. That's encouraging then because I always find myself, you know late at night I'm I've got a bit of a you know I'm all of a sudden I want a dessert and I got nothing in the house I got a bunch of supplements Like I'm okay during the day because I've got kale. I got spinach. I've got some supplements. I got I got You know some pretty healthy things there, but not that not enough to satisfy my sweet tooth And so on occasion, you know, I'll leave the leave the apartment and I'll walk down the road And I'll try I'll grab something so that's good That's encouraging that there's an easy way to do this because I'm inherently a lazy bastard Are we all I feel like I feel like I want to cook all the time like lunch and dinner I want to cook and I get done with the gym instead of coming home I'm like well, I can just go straight to air one and get a plate That's gonna be something that would make it home in the first place And then I'm like, oh, let's cook at night and then I'm like well I could just go somewhere like this. I mean LA has so many different health spots that I Can be just as lazy, but when it comes to desserts like I really nowadays I really don't trust A lot of different places. I really don't trust a lot of people and I make my own desserts and yeah And you you just referenced air one there air one is actually probably it's considered one of the healthiest Store shopping stores in Los Angeles. It's right near the Grove Los Angeles. It's kind of off Beverly Boulevard. I was actually just there on Monday night I went and saw a movie at the Grove and then I walked to air one not with anything Not with any buying you thought in mind I just wanted to go and check it out and be amongst all the healthy stuff and I ran into someone I knew there It's like so funny. It's like more of a social scene that it is a shopping scene crazy Yeah, it is it is the social scene for for healthy people. I feel like people walk in there I mean, I can't I can't get out of there without talking to at least four or five people There you go if you're also looking to date You're also looking for a partner. Just go to a healthy food store in your local city in your whole foods air one Even Trader Joe's. Yeah. All right. Let's get into this. Okay, so we're talking about how to eat dessert and burn fat We're talking to Crosby Taylor who is an health coach chef and a model you can find him on Snapchat and all the other social media is that at Crosby Taylor CR OSBY Taylor TA I And his website which is eat dessert burn fat So let's go over a few after dinner desserts I think we're gonna talk about cookies ice cream and chocolate. So let's do cookies first. Shall we Taylor? Sorry, I'm calling you by your surname there. That's okay. It's a very very Australian thing to do it's Australian thing we call people by their last names like hey swanik over here Yeah, yeah, well well Crosby everybody doesn't think that's my first name because that's usually a last name So I get that a lot people call me Taylor, but um, but yeah cookies So yeah, the cookies I came up with kind of on a whim. I was making a lot of different smoothies and Healthy ice creams and stuff like that but I started baking with the idea that maybe I can throw a lot of these similar powders that I was making in a smoothie into a mix and You know throw some eggs and some stuff to make to bake with and put together some kind of baked good And it took me a little bit I mean I had like three or four tries and I got to a place where I was like, okay I'm really satisfied with this kind of baked good and what happened was I eventually turned it into When now I'm working on as a baking mix And the baking mix is pretty much done and I'm gonna work on packaging in and branding it and everything so that Everybody at home could make pretty much every baked good recipe that I have Off of this one kind of like my Bennett base vanilla mix and I'm using only Liconto like I said before it's my my main sweetener. It's a blend of monk fruit and erythritol Erythritol that has actually been shown to not cause any stomach issues unlike It's counterpart Xylitol which is another sugar alcohol that I that I noticed I was using for a while And I actually had to stop using it because my stomach I was getting all these different stomach issues and I was like Maybe it's the xylitol so I switched over to this and it's just been amazing. So I use this is my main sweetener for everything So it's it's called erythritol and you spell that E R Y T H R I T O L Yeah, erythritol and so erythritol is a is a sweetener correct Sugar but without the calories is that is that the best way of explaining it? Yeah, it's zero glycemic zero calories zero sugar and the amazing part about erythritol is it doesn't go through a wild fermentation which can create fermentation in the gut they do a special fermentation process and Basically have come down to the scientifically proven that that it does not cause any stomach discomfort And it does not digest in a way to where your insulin will spike. So it's the best of both worlds People out there that are freaked out about Candida can use it as well as people that are diabetic and and that have sugar intolerance It's really really amazing and it still tastes so sweet. It tastes just tastes delicious You can put it really in with anything. It's still going to give you curb that sweet tooth that you are missing when you know It it's sweeter than than honey than maple syrup and all these other things coconut nectar that people are using as sugar substitutes That still do spike blood sugar and how do you buy erythritol? Is it coming up in a package of powder? Or is it like what what does it look like? Erythritol, there's only a couple places in LA that are selling it off the shelves, but you can get it online It's lakonto.com. How do you spell lakonto? l-a-k-a-n-t-o Okay, and lakonto.com is what exactly is that that's a place that that's a brand of erythritol That's the blend that's the brand of erythritol. They they sell like some chocolate bars on there as well And they sell a well, but it's the blend. It's the monk fruit and erythritol. So the blend they sell As a regular white sugar type Product as well as a brown sugar and can can people get this anywhere like if someone's listening to this They're not in a health conscious city like LA. Maybe they're I don't know whatever they're yeah Yeah, yeah in Alabama or it's on it's on Amazon. You can get it straight from their website Okay, so you can actually just type in erythritol on Amazon or you can go to lakonto.com And and but did you it's it's a true that only few Supermarket chains across the US actually carry it on their shelves. Right, right, right. It's not it's it's been around for a little bit, but it's just it just wasn't one of those Sweeteners that became as popular as like something like azalea tall or some of these other sugars that are on the shelves So rich which and it comes in a in what kind of form is it? Did you say powder or they're coming out with a powdered version? But it's a granulated version right now But but I have I have the you know beginning powder because they they they're working with me right now So that the powder is a lot better because when you stir it into when you stir it into something as opposed to blending It was something you don't get that like granulated weird Like I only have sugar bites every once in a while It's more of it's blended through and consistent without Within me the dessert. Okay, cool. So we're talking about making cookies here. So we've got so we need erythritol Yep. Yeah. Yeah, so in terms of the baking mix I'm not gonna give you all of my secrets because it's gonna come into a proprietary blend But let's just say it's it's packed full of protein. It's got Certain resistance starches like tiger nut flour. I use I use tiger nut flour and some of my some of my baked goods Coconut flour, which is an amazing substitute for something that normal people would be using whether it's a white flour a wheat flour coconut flour it's got some MCT's and It's full of packed full of fiber and then There's certain proteins that are very very very digestible protein. So this is also a protein packed fiber packed It's a protein packed and it's a good fat packed cookie Very low carbohydrate zero sugar. So in the end of the day, whether you're making whether I'm making you know cutting up Creating my own chocolate cutting up into chunks and the chocolates full of like MCT oil to give you that thermogenic effect that cognitive boosting effect and cutting that up and into chunks after it's frozen throwing it into my batter and making chocolate chunk cookies or making putting a little pumpkin puree and some pumpkin spice and some cinnamon and making some pumpkin spice Bundt cakes to Throw in a little lemon poppy seed in there and making lemon poppy seed cookies or a lemon poppy seed bread There's so many different variations that you can create from this one mix And so that's why I want I wanted it to be like this so that people can look at all the recipes that I've created and be Empowered at home to go. I'm gonna make this cookie tonight. I want to make this brownie this night I'm gonna make and it's just ongoing kind of thing and they could be feeding these things They're kids on a nightly basis. So let's just say well, we'll give them the link to your vanilla baking mix Towards the end of the show, but for now, let's just say they they're not gonna use your mix They want to make a home base cookie. Like what are we putting in there? We've got a rithritol obviously, but like let's just list the foods and how we make a cookie Whether we whether we use your product or we don't right so you're gonna, you know You're gonna need a flour base. There's all different types of flour bases You can use from coconut flour to if you wanted to have some kind of carbohydrate base in there It's a quinoa flour if you want to stay away from gluten and If you if you're trying to stay away from grains, you can use everything from different nut flours like coconut flour to almond flour to a Specific product that just came upon the market tiger nut flour, which is a resistance starch. It's full of Prebiotics that will feed your good bacteria. So you're getting some health benefits out of it when you do something like that I made a ginger snap like kind of molasses ginger snap cookie the other day with tiger nut flour and it was amazing And so you you're all using me some some eggs Okay, yeah, yeah, so we're using some kind of flour whether it's coconut almond or tiger nut eggs How many eggs we need? Depending upon the the the batch, you know, we're we're looking at anywhere from two eggs four eggs I mean it really just depends on okay How big of a batch you're making I really like to use ghee Okay, as opposed to butter some people are You know sensitive to lactose and so ghee is a lactose casein and salt-free product that Has like a very very rich flavor ancient organic sells a really really amazing tasting bee that I use for pretty much all of my baking and You know in terms of getting it to rise some kind of baking powder Like an aluminum free baking powder is a really really great addition to getting that cookie consistency when you say aluminum free baking powder Does that suggest that some baking powder has aluminum in it? Yeah, there's a I mean Bob's Bob's red mill sells an aluminum free Baking powder so I would assume that you're gonna get out of the normal Baking powders you're gonna get some kind of aluminum. Okay, which is interesting. Okay I never really realized that either until I found that Bob's red mill one. I was like, oh, I guess this is Okay, so that's coconut flour eggs ghee and aluminum free baking powder anything else we need Yeah, you're You're gonna want to you know have some kind of flavor, you know flavor profile in there So obviously we have the fish the sugar and and you can add stevia if you'd like for certain Different flavors. I mean, there's like English toffee stevia. There's butterscotch stevia There's different things that you can throw in there as well as you know If you're a chocolate person you want to make some brownies It's it would be really great to throw some cacao powder and some cacao butter in there and stir that up And you can create a nice rich Kind of brownie texture out of or or kind of like a chocolate pure chocolate cookie out of something like that So is that including stevia and erythritol? It just depends on the flavor profile and how big of a sweet tooth the person has but if you Kind of have a nice touch with erythritol and and with with the loconto and the stevia together You can create a really really nice So you can put all that in erythritol and stevia. Can you put stevia in without the erythritol? Yeah, yeah, you can put stevia in without the erythritol, but it's just the balance of flavor a lot of people are sensitive to stevia so when it comes to The metallic some people have like a metallic aftertaste when they have stevia so when you have the more of the Really really tastes like sugar type product like loconto it curbs it takes that away Salt is actually pink salt is actually a really nice addition when you're using stevia as well anything whenever I make any kind of dessert I always will create something that I always throw the pink salt in there to curb any kind of like weird Aftertaste of the stevia. Okay, so just on the ingredients in we're looking at some kind of flour whether it be coconut almond or tiger nut We're looking at eggs preferably pasture-raised eggs We're looking at ghee Ghe we're looking at some aluminum aluminum free baking power powder, which you can get but there's a brand called Bob's red mill erythritol and or stevia and or pink salt and then some cacao powder Is that right? Cacao powder is an additive as well as you know going back to Some of the flowers when it comes to people that want to be completely nut-free as well you can grind up some flaxseed and Have some ground flaxseed as your your main base the cinnamon rolls some of the some of the cinnamon rolls that I make I do that with I just ground up some flax golden flaxseed and that's that's my base for for a cinnamon roll Okay, so the the the ground brown flaxseed is an alternative to the flower Yeah, or or an addition you can you can mix and match these things You kind of really have to play with it at home to get the consistency and the texture that you want because Obviously if you're using all coconut flour, they're gonna be really really dense and a little dry But if you can combine Some of these flowers together you're gonna get you know a product that is way more satisfying Okay, so we've got the ingredients and now I'm starting to get a little bit concerned because you told me that I Wouldn't be doing much baking and I'd be doing like the lazy man's cooking So what do I got to do now now? I've got a like set aside three hours and put it in the put it in the oven Prosby, yeah, I mean it's it's sounding really taxing at this point and so my main suggestion is when Crosby's cookies baking mix is out you just get a baking mix and now you've got it all taken care of all I got to do is add the wet ingredients and You're looking at something. That's gluten sugar grain and dairy-free as a cookie at home A cookie alternative at home on a nightly basis. And so what would you do then? Let's just say you've got your mix that you put all together What do you then how do you then make that like what how does it work? So, you know adding the wet ingredients then Given it given it a nice stir. You can set it in the fridge for a second so that it sets and then I'm just greasing a pan with ghee popping the oven on to about anywhere from 350 to 375 and Ice cream scooping The the the the mix right on and little cookie balls and you throw it in there for I mean my mix is done in eight to nine minutes Okay, so you have to understand here, right? I don't I'm not I don't cook this kind of stuff So when you say put wet ingredients in I'm not following you so we've got your powder What do we do like literally what are the physical steps that I've got your powder or I've got these ingredients What do I do? So you're gonna need ghee Okay, you're gonna need you're gonna need a certain amount of ghee you're gonna need a certain amount of eggs and You're gonna need a certain amount of liquid. I like to use like an unsweetened coconut milk And then depending on the flavor profile You can add like for my butterscotch cookies You know a half-dropper butterscotch stevia We'll give it that kind of flavor if you wanted to create more of like a cinnamon cookie all you need is A tablespoon of cinnamon if you wanted to do Any other variation? You can start Besides the recipes that I'm gonna be throwing up on my website for people to be following along and creating these things You know people can get creative themselves and and you know come up with their own recipes whether they like matcha So we throw it in you know a couple teaspoons of matcha powder and you add a little bit of vanilla stevia and you can create start to create all these different types of cookies and breads and and muffins and it all can come from this one baking mix which is For you know the stay-at-home mom that's got a couple kids I think it's a really really healthy alternative to what else is out there on the market So are we mixing all this stuff together in a bowl and putting it on a tray? What are we doing? Yeah? Yeah, so step by step. We're gonna we got a mix. We got to get a big bowl You know you got to mix that together in a consistent form to where that's nice and smooth It's gonna get kind of like sticky like a cookie would get and you can set it or you could place it right away When it comes to muffins and breads and some of the tins that you'll be using for that you can just put it right in if you are Going to be making a cookie consistency It's better to set it in the fridge for like 10 to 15 minutes and then especially for chocolate chip I like to set it in the fridge Get that let the batter get a little harder and then cookie scoop those on to a pan You'll you'll get out of the mix. You'll get 16 to 18 cookies you can put them all on one pan and pop it in the oven for eight to nine minutes After you pop after you take the cookies out you can set them back in the fridge and I'll have recipes for people to create Amazing little icings to put on top as well. So whether you want to make a butterscotch cookie and put a little Butterscotch icing on top or it's a pumpkin spice cookie with a cream cheese probiotic icing on top. I have all of these different recipes that will be able that the user will be able to have From my website to mix and match all different types of things Okay, so there's cookies and then how do we make sure we don't overreak because once the healthy cookies are there I might eat 10 of them thinking that they're healthy But then in actual fact because I've eaten 10 I'm unhealthy. So how do you how do you limit yourself to having? Exactly. Well, you know, yeah everything in balance everything in moderation. It is because they are so delicious I can understand somebody's like first time of wanting to eat all of them but you'll notice after eating about three of them that Because of the amount of fiber and the good fats and the protein It's not like a high carbohydrate-based cookie where you can eat tons of them and your metabolism is just rapidly Speeding through them while you're eating them. You're gonna get full. You're gonna get satisfied You're gonna have three of them and be like wow, I'm really full and then at that point it's you know it's kind of up to you whether you're gonna stuff yourself and and be slain on the couch for the rest of the night, but There are times when I've done it and let's just say the next morning it's just it's there's enough fiber that you're gonna be completely detoxed and I Had times when I've gone through a dozen cookies and nothing's happened because I just Eliminated the next day so well Okay. All right, so there's cookies. Let's move on to ice cream. How do we get some healthy ice cream happening? Well, you were saying you were like talking about ice cream maker and all the issues with that and how you can like throw That things together and smoothie and you're like, well, it's not really the consistency So the way that I make ice cream involves the Vitamix which is an amazing way to create ice creams and you do it with Literally ice powders oils and when you have a Vitamix and has that that like plunger You can kind of pound it all together in a consistent form while it's blending to create this texture That I show all the time my snapchat I do a lot of like snapchat ice creams where I show like the process So you'll see the texture and people are always writing me and being like, how did you get it to be exactly like an ice cream? Well, when you put these things together and some of these gradients I'll let you know about it It just it just forms this exact texture that you would get if you went to the store and popped open a regular drier's ice cream so You want to start with a base of like a cup of ice throw that in the Vitamix and Then you're gonna be adding like a lot of your superfood powders different things that Are gonna create your flavor. So everything from tocatrinals, which is a rice bran soluble powder How do you spell? How do you spell that? I've not heard of that before. What is that tocatrinals? It's a toco. Uh-huh T R I E N N O L S Tocatrinals and what are that? What are those things? Tocatrinals are rice bran solubles that are Loaded in vitamin E and it comes in a powdered form you can buy, you know online There's a bunch of different brands from Sun Potion to a couple other ones. I like to use the Sun Potion brand But that's like a kind of a base bottom for a lot of the mixes because it kind of gives it some substance Okay, and and it also scratch the skin. It's loaded with vitamin E and then depending on What kind of you know, whether you're a vegetarian or vegan or or you're working in paleo or whatever it is some kind of Protein powder in there to give it a protein based ice cream So from a whey protein and isolate that people can stomach well to like a grass-fed colostrum powder to both to a collagen powder to what I've been working on lately is Because of just the rehabilitation of the gut and not throwing anything in there that Creates any kind of issues. I really love this new bone broth protein that Dr. Axe has and There is you know, there's a vanilla. There's a chocolate and it's It's really really crazy. Like it's a it's a powdered version of bone broth, but it's loaded with protein hyaluronic acid Bucosamine, conjoin and everything that's great for your skin bones joints tendons as well as the gut lining Rehabilitating the gut which a lot of people have issues in the gut And so now you're creating now you're making at home a an ice cream. That's delicious But you're adding, you know this bone broth protein You're adding something like a collagen protein, which is just going to give you more aid for your ligaments and tendons healthy skin nourishing that providing more collagen for the skin and then The Lakonto always the Lakonto in there. You can add some stevia as well to create different flavors Lakuma, mesquite, some of these are superfoods that you can throw a tablespoon of Some of these things in there depending on what you're creating again with the cacao powder So you're you're kind of putting together in powder form different types of variations and flavors and to be like To kind of just give you one that I would do would be something like You know a scoop of the bone broth protein a couple tablespoons of collagen powder Three tablespoons of toca-trenals a tablespoon of Lakuma a teaspoon of maca a gelatinized maca For hormone balance as well as the flavor you can throw in a tablespoon of Lakonto You can throw in kind of like a half dropper of vanilla or English toffee stevia and a couple tablespoons of cacao nibs Yeah, and then and then you got your fat. So you want to throw in anything from MCT oil or a brain octane oil bulletproof brain octane oil So now you're revving up the engine of the ice cream and giving it some thermogenic capabilities As well as a grass-fed ghee to give it some CLA's or you could throw on an egg yolk and Get your fats from an egg yolk or a duck egg yolk, which I've been like to using lately And or just throwing if you're a vegetarian just throwing in a big scoop of almond butter so now you have You know you can do a plant protein instead of a bone broth protein and throw in some almond butter and you You're creating more of a plant-based ice cream Little bit of ice on top and you pound it up and it creates this consistency. That's just an Amazing ice cream experience. Yeah, it's when you were talking about the the the protein powder I have grass-fed white What the brand is and it's chocolate chocolate favorite So what I could do then is put a scoop, you know one cup of ice in my my blender Put in that protein Powder and then, you know, maybe add a little bit of erythritol or something just just natural to sweet sweet in it And even that would be something better Even that on itself while might be a little bland because obviously you mentioned a lot of ingredients there it would still be Enough presumably to satisfy my sweet tooth and it would be a it would be healthy So it would crave it would help suppress my sugar cravings. Yeah late at night It would create the texture of ice cream. So I would be thinking. Oh, okay. I've got this this Facing thing and it's super healthy. Yeah. Yeah, there's different variations. There's different steps and and Obviously different budgets for these types of ice creams And so like you're saying you could do something as simple as that to something as extravagant as Some of the things that all throw together. I mean you can even at the end of that Mix up that chocolate sauce that you had and drizzle it all on top And if there's some cacao butter in that chocolate sauce It's gonna harden and now you have like a hard shell chocolate on top Yeah, so I when I have tried to make ice cream in my Vitamix before when I it ends up being Too icy like there's some parts of the ice which don't crush down So I've put I've gone through phases where I put too much ice in and it's just too clunky And then I put gone to a phase where I haven't put enough ice in and it's too liquidy I haven't quite found that right texture in between. What what's your secret tip to getting that that texture? Definitely less ice more substance when it comes to the powder and the fat Okay, okay in the fast very important too So if you're only using like powders and ice then you know, it would serve you to throw in like the MCT or the ghee or even coconut oil or Almond butter cashew butter some of these things that vegetarians would want to use. Yeah, okay Even if you wanted to create like a cool If you wanted to super food it up You can throw together some of these different greens powders. I really love premier research slabs greens powder You throw a little that with some cacao nibs and a little bit of a mint extract Then you can create the color of like a mint chocolate chip ice cream as well as the flavor. Yeah I grow mint actually. I have a little in my little front balcony. I have been growing some sweet peppers and some mint So I could just go out there and grab a few mint leaves and throw that in that would be cool That'd be really awesome. Yeah Um now you mentioned vitamix. I actually bought a vitamix about 18 months ago. It was the greatest investment that I've made in my Dietary habits, I guess right But I tell you I am an art about it for six months because it was like 400 dollars I mean it can be as much as 500 dollars to get this right And I think it was only the reason that I got it for 400 dollars was because I had a hundred dollar off voucher I think okay, I recall correctly. Um And uh, it's expensive I mean depending on you know, what your budget is but like I think 400 400 to 500 dollars for a machine that just blends foods together is Is a lot right so There's someone who's listening or watching who's on a budget And doesn't want doesn't wander is unable to invest You know a few hundred dollars four hundred dollars on a blender. What's the alternative? well, you know Obviously the other way is to make ice cream when somebody's looking at I want to make ice I want to start making ice cream They're gonna also also look for online like an ice cream maker, which is just as expensive And I think just it's harder to create something It's harder I bought one and you got to like you got to freeze the container and then you got to like put it in with the And then you got to like turn it on and then you've got to check check on it and I mean it's a process It's a whole deal. It's just something that I do not want to spend time on no and and then You know when it comes to just having a different regular blenders at home from even something like the bullet It it's it's it would really be all about for these kind of people I really don't think they're going to get the exact consistency that they're looking for that would be like the Vitamix would do But you can get something close. You just have to use more ice less liquid and uh kind of Put it and put it put it together and just kind of like Throw in a little bit more liquid using fatty liquids too. So like a full fat unsweetened coconut milk would be your best option for Creating something that's going to be kind of like a a dense smoothie more than an ice cream the ice cream thing is You know, it's just it's an investment I think making ice cream is is going to be an investment because you really don't have a lot of alternatives unless you want to go To a health store and get something that's still going to be loaded with If you're really watching your surgery a lot all the ice creams on the market are still Bad in my opinion bad food combination Yeah, no it is. I mean look I've looked at all healthy. So there's this this uh soy free ice cream Is pretty which is I wouldn't say it's healthy, but I'd say it's not as Bad for you. It's not good for you, but it's not as bad for you And so I get that that that uh That brand on occasion Um, so I'm almost always looking for dairy free Ice cream and I'm always commencing myself that that's a hundred times better than if I'm getting ben and jerry's or You know hug and dust and all that stuff, which it which it is obviously um But yeah, I mean I think if you're really going to take take your health seriously And you want to eat ice cream and you want to do it at home Like you do have to invest in something. I mean look you can buy a $20 blender But it's not really going to give you it's not really going to Work for you and excuse me and crushing ice and getting that ice cream texture Yeah, yeah, so if you're really wanting if you're listening to this now or watching this and you really want to um Uh, you know make home my ice cream. Maybe look for a second hand via the mix Totally there's a lot of herb ish ones that are amazing. I think actually I think that's the one that I got I got one uh within like that and now um I'm actually affiliated because of the stuff that I do with Vitamix. I'm actually affiliated with with them now and they have they send me Uh coupon things all the time through my email for Yeah, this has to be way to get it like they're cheaper. Yeah, they've come down. I've had I've I've had I've gotten emails But they're down to like 349 So yeah, it's still a little bit xy. It's still a little bit expensive, isn't it? But I mean, but they're really amazing customer service and if you like they like they're they're the warranty on the product Pretty much forever. I mean if you it is it is a lifetime warranty. It's like it's lifetime, right? But again, if you but again, I mean look If you still really don't want to spend that amount of money on a Vitamix Like even if you don't want to spend a hundred bucks on it I would search and try and find a second hand one like just go on to ebay or uh craigslist or somewhere And just try and get like in my opinion Vitamix is the it's an a wonderful product like it's it's amazing But I know trust me. I I know what I was going through 18 months ago when I was stressing over am I really gonna spend $400 On a On a blender and I'm glad I did because I'd use it all the time best best investment for food ever But at the time it's Uh Should I I took that bed back and beyond coupon there like four times before I finally bought it. I was like, uh, yeah Yeah, that's that's actually that's what you're reminding me now. That's where I got it in fact my 20 off, right? Darren and Mary who live in my apartment complex actually gave you the coupon Yeah for for the for the 20 for the 20 off, which I guess was a hundred bucks. There you go Thank you Darren and Mary you're always Appreciate that. All right. So there's ice cream. I'll just go over the things again. You said, um Is it toco train toss a trick? How am I pronouncing it? Toca trinols toca trinols powder A protein based like powder like you might use if you were bodybuilding in the gym But you can get ones that are like low calories obviously. I like to to get grass-fed ones Yeah, um, I'm sure the grass bird always be suggesting a bone broth Based powder which you can get and then you can add stuff like cacao powder erythritol tablespoon of maca half drop of stevia cacao nibs For oils you might want to put some mct oil or brain octane oil in there Maybe some grass-fed ghee egg eggs maybe almond butter coconut oil You can put green powders cacao nibs mint extra. I mean, there's a lot of things that you can throw in there As long as you got some a good amount of ice and a good blender like a vitamix You don't have to put all of those things in you can just experiment, you know, like I said, I've got a bit of mint outside I could put some yeah You can I mean What what do you think about putting in frozen fruit because I always think, you know frozen fruits Fruits fruit it's yeah, but then I worry like oh if I'm having this every night I'm putting a lot of sugar in my system just an hour before I go to sleep Is that storing fat around my waist? Uh, I mean, yeah, fructose will do that and you know A good amount of fructose on a daily basis all the time is going to eventually, you know Create um problems in your body where you're not as insulin sensitive And you're not going to use that energy like you used to and so you're going to store and it it would benefit you To not use it all the time and instead maybe even if you wanted to get that fruit flavor There's all different types of Different antioxidant powders too. Like if you wanted to do like an acai If you wanted to do a mangosteen if you wanted to do um Like a tart cherry all these things are super beneficial uh antioxidants tons of antinocyanins or All of those capabilities, but obviously yeah, like if you're going to create a fruit smoothie at home Look at all the low glycemic fruits blueberry would be a really really awesome Option if you wanted to make a blueberry ice cream. I've done that before Nope, no issues All the like low glycemic berries from goji berries is an amazing option as well anti-inflammatory it's great for the skin in the eyes and um It's it's also loaded with antioxidants. Okay So yeah, you can do the the ones the things that like I'm not really big on is like throwing like frozen bananas into it Yeah, that's just a lot of sugar mangoes just a lot of sugar. Yeah, love sugar. Yeah but Obviously if that person has You can every once in a while it's not going to kill you especially when especially when you metabolize You know if you're a first step type of person Or if you have the body type to metabolize carbohydrates. Well, you can get away with it but if you're Trying to lose weight and you're you know shorter or compact and you put on You know fat Well, you're not going to want to use a lot of high glycemic type fruits in your diet. All right So we've we've handled cookies with a hand on ice cream. Let's move on to the third one which is chocolate, so how do we How do we make some chocolate? chocolate The chocolate I have I'll have a couple recipes that are going to go up on the the website soon I've actually done some before So I don't mind talking about the chocolate kind of to an exact form chocolates are really really fun really really easy um, you know, you're going to need some type of To begin with some type of like I I like to use a nice rounded coffee cup Because you really don't you really don't need to use a lot of like powder and oil in this You don't need like one of those big when you use one of these big bowls for chocolate It's hard to like stir it all in a very consistent form um People that are doing that in big batches, you know when you're making chocolate and you're selling chocolate They do it like that, but just for yourself at home something like an easy coffee cup um four tablespoons of cacao powder two tablespoons of your Lakonto powder a pinch A little pinch a pinch of a nice pinch of pink salt um, and then you know heat up some cacao butter Throw some cacao butter on a pan on low heat that cacao butter up um, and you can throw a tablespoon of an mct or brain octane into the chocolate with a It's about a tablespoon and a half and then another tablespoon of cacao butter into the chocolate stir it all up You're going to get like a nice consistent liquid chocolate Uh and throw that thing in the in the freezer and that's The base easiest way to make a chocolate when you take it out 25 minutes later You can just get a a knife and kind of like poke around the edges and it'll pop right out Like a little circle and you can cut up cut up that into chunks throw it in the cup and just eat little chocolate chunks If you wanted to get creative You can take that you can take that mix And um, there's these really cool like sur-la-tab and a couple of these other Kitchen aid places sell these like silicone ice molds And I like to use these silicone ice molds and I'll take the chocolate and I'll drizzle, you know about quarter quarter of an inch to a half inch of chocolate in each bottom And I'll stir up on the side. Maybe If you're in the Reese's You can stir up another cup with some almond butter the Lakonto And I mean a little even if you want to just be super simple almond butter Lakonto a little pinch of Pink salt maybe a little bit of MCT Stir that up and you pour that in as you're you know You've already hard it you throw the chocolate in let it harden a little bit Throw the almond butter on top of that and then throw another layer of chocolate And you're going to make these cool kind of like trifecta squares of Little Reese's chocolates, which people I think a lot of people would love Yeah, all right. So that's you that's a lot of that is using similar kind of ingredients Is what we're using that you could be using for the ice cream So you can actually get the same ingredient to create different You know create ice cream or Or chocolate, you know, you're talking about cacao powder cacao butter MCT or brain octane oil Um, that all sounds pretty good. I mean I always if you're going to eat chocolate I always say eat dark chocolate like if you if you're not going to make your own stuff at home you can buy Brands in in decent enough supermarkets. Um, and I always say 85 percent cacao plus So the higher percentage of cacao in it the healthier it is for um The danger or not the day. Well, maybe it is a little bit of a danger The danger is when I buy that stuff I whenever it's kind of like that that Pringles tv commercial once you pop You just can't stop Yeah, once I open that damn thing and I say I'm only going to have one square or two squares that I end up eating the whole damn thing and I look in the back and it's like the calories in that thing There's a lot of calories in it even though there's it's still very healthy for you. So how do we Like is there some I guess it goes back to my question before like how do we make sure that We're all excited about eating healthy and now we're eating healthy desserts But there's that danger That you can overeat thinking that you're that you're healthy. So how do you rein in the the the chocolate eating crossby? Well, I mean I can rein it in pretty well just because I'm not the biggest chocolate I make a lot of chocolate because people want it, but I'm not a huge chocolate fan to start So for me, I can eat a square and be satisfied, but you know when it comes to somebody that's Like I know I have a lot of clients that are just like chocolate fanatics and They have they go through periods where They can't help themselves and they'll eat like four or five pieces and Now they're you know, it's it's rich when you're dealing with these good fats. It's it's very very rich so the best Honestly, the best way is to make sure that You're kind of following a nice balanced diet where you're getting a good amount of protein fiber greens Good fats on a regular basis and you're kind of laying low on a lot of the sugary and starchy foods you're going to create More of a you know balanced approach to food after that and you're going to have you know, you're not going to be like a crazy like sugar fanatic that's like, oh my god I want to eat everything because that's kind of how it is when you when you get close to food And you're you know, your blood sugar is going like this all day long It's really easy to overeat, right? But if you're in like a balanced state and you're taking care of yourself and you're clean eating And you're more so, you know, I like to preach eating more like You know three meals a day tops two meals a day with like liquids in the morning spreading out your meals and having more of like a little bit of like a bulk meal to satisfy That way, you know, you're not in like a very snacking approach to where when you get to something like dessert You can go crazy a lot of people will go Or not eating all day long And your blood sugar is crazy and then you get to that Last part of the day when all you want is sweets and you just go crazy again So it's it's it's really all about the person controlling your gut flora and your you know your biome and your your your micro flora. It's where you're not Your your body you're in charge of your body and your your, you know Candida and certain pathogens aren't in charge of you. So at the end of the day You're not going crazy on something and you can Your brain can switch off. I mean, it's it's a it's a big leptin thing, you know You're the hormone leptin when when you Can't stop yourself from eating That's a leptin issue and so you're gonna have to kind of have to look at that as well All right, so there you go There's some uh, how to eat dessert and burn fat at the same time from crossby taylor health coach chef and model You can find him On all social medias at at crossby taylor and check out his website, which is each dessert burn fat Remember there's two s's in dessert.
