Health tip of the month: make a delicious and healthy breakfast cake! 

Cake for breakfast. Who wouldn’t want that? This cake (that tastes like cheesecake) is delicious and a great option to eat for breakfast. You can also serve it with coffee or tea.

Ingredients (20 cm spring form pan)

For the crust:

  • 80 grams (gluten-free) oatmeal
  • 90 grams of mixed nuts
  • 65 grams of coconut oil
  • 4 Medjool dates
  • Pinch of salt

For the filling:

  • 550 grams (lactose-free) kwark
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • Splash of maple syrup

Cooking method:

Preheat the oven to 175°C and line the spring form pan with baking paper.

Mix all ingredients for the crust in a food processor until finely ground. Spread this mixture over the bottom of the spring form pan. Use a wet spoon to press it down if you’re having trouble getting it even and flat with your fingers. Bake the crust in the oven for 8 minutes. To make the filling, stir all the ingredients together and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then pour the filling on top of the crust and leave it in the oven for 35 minutes. Then let it set in the fridge for at least 3 hours and top it off with your favorite fruit!

NEW: SclptCycle

We will soon transform our spinning room into a party location with the latest SclptCycle class from House of Workouts. SclptCycle is the newest thing on the scene of full-body workouts. During this high-energy cycling workout, we use Sclpt® tubes to train the core and arm muscles. This workout will seriously challenge your endurance, leg muscles, and upper body muscles in this 45-minute workout, and you will quickly burn 600 calories. SculptCyle is also super high energy because .of the party music! Thanks to the high energy of the instructors, the swinging choreography, and the exciting music, the SclptCycling class doesn’t feel like a workout, more like a party! You can find it on our schedule starting in September on Tuesday evenings at 18:30, Thursday mornings at 09:30, and Sunday mornings at 10:30. Enjoy the ride!
