Flaky Strawberry & Rice Milk Scones (Vegan, Sugar-Free, with Spelt)

August 2, 2016 by Deniz 6 Comments

Sugar-free Spelt Scones with Strawberries and Rice Milk (wheat-free, low in fructose, refined sugar-free fructosearm) / Recipes by fructopia.deSugar-free Spelt Scones with Strawberries and Rice Milk (wheat-free, low in fructose, refined sugar-free fructosearm) / Recipes by fructopia.de The average German citizen consumes a roughly 35 kilograms of sugar each year and I used to be pretty good at boosting that average with my own excessive consumption. There was a reason the “sweets drawer” in our home had a classwide reputation. Ah, home sweet home!

But let’s take a moment to think about this number: It’s been six years now since I quit sugar for good. Six years, which amounts to a total of 195 kilos of sugar that never got pumped through my body. Sadly this also made me realize that, during the other ⅘ of my life, I already consumed four times the amount without even blinking an eye. Holy caramel!

But hey, at least I’m on the right track, don’t you think?

Actually, being aware of your own sugar consumption or even making an effort to reduce it, is further down the road than most of the people around you will ever get. No matter if you are quitting sugar by choice or for health reasons, it’s time to give yourself a proud pat on the shoulder here, because you’re doing a pretty awesome job! …

Weekday Breakfast Fix: Sugar Free Millet Porridge With Turmeric and Almond Milk

January 20, 2016 by Deniz 16 Comments

Weekday Breakfast Fix: Sugar-Free Millet Porridge With Turmeric and Almond Milk #sugarfree #fructosefriendly // fructopia.de/en
I don’t need to open my eyes to know it’s still dark outside. I wrap the blanket a little tighter around my body while trying to hit the “snooze” button as quickly as possible. But before the alarm hits off again, I already slip out of bed to make my way into the kitchen. I’ve come to learn that there is nothing worse then getting up at a cold and dark winter night, than being stressed out on a cold and dark winter night. I usually trick myself into getting up on time by treating myself to a piping bowl of porridge. Right now I’m back at millet, one of my favorites ever since turning my back on wheat. I always add coconut oil and turmeric to it. The base itself provides me with just enough of the nutritional goods to keep me going until lunch. To make it more fund I add some crunch and mix the bitter from the raw cocoa nibs with the mild sweetness of the rice mal syrup.

And boy, isn’t it really beautiful to look at too? It looks like the whole universe unfolding right in front of me.
What’s your secret to getting up on time these days?…

The Sultan’s Breakfast: Çilbir – Poached Eggs On Yogurt And Garlic Infused Oil

September 12, 2015 by Deniz 8 Comments

It’s been pretty quiet around here the past couple of weeks. But don’t be fooled. Behind the scenes there was some serious tinkering and thinking going on. Why? Because Istanbul worries us. The city is nervous, its air is hot and sticky and our mood is low. Not feeling safesetting foot in the subway anymore is one thing, but seeing the frustration with this country’s government written all over our friends’ faces is another thing.

These days, Istanbul is changing right in front of our eyes. Rapidly. And we literally feel the growing pains. There is this thick layer of heat, bluster and political outrage covering the city. And it has become increasingly difficult to maintain our initial euphoria, to keep our love for this unique city alive. The way out is out.

It’s a wrap. We’ve come to a decision and already gave notice to leave our flat. Three weeks left until we turn our backs on Istanbul, for now. A kneejerk reaction? Maybe. But an important one.

Review: Fructose Friendly, Vegan Coconut Ice Cream By Mailorder

July 31, 2015 by Deniz Leave a Comment

Fructose Friendly, Vegan Coconut Ice Cream By Mailorder // Fructopia.de/enFor once I’m taking the back seat. Instead of letting my own voice do the talking, I asked my lovely sister Derya to write the very first guest post on Fructopia. Usually busy studying and shooting YouTube videos, Derya loves to spend most of her leisure time in the kitchen developing sneaky little sugar free treats. Naturally she was my first choice to review a new fructose friendly and refreshing treat for you: Coconut ice cream! Unfortunately this product is only available in Germany for now. We didn’t want to deprive you of these gorgeous images though. That’s why I’m sharing my translated version of her write-up with you here. Enjoy!

My Morning: Friendly Little Kitchen and her classic Spelt Pancakes

July 21, 2015 by Deniz 1 Comment

Interview Series: Friendly Little Kitchen on her FODMAP free morning routine // Fructopia.de Interview Series: Friendly Little Kitchen on her FODMAP free morning routine // Fructopia.de

This interview took place as part of the “My Morning” interview series.

When I reflect on my first baby steps into the FODMAP free diet about two years ago, there is one lovely lady who played a major role throughout my field trip: Steph Papillo from Friendly Little Kitchen. Steph was my first real blog-pal, my guide through the crazy FODMAP jungle, always there to help out. With her delicious recipes and dreamy pictures this curly beauty from Melbourne continues to show how easy a wheat free and fructose friendly diet can be on a daily basis. Full of wit, her Instagram stream is not only an endless source of inspiration, but of sunshine as well! …

Gluten Free, Sugar free Strawberry-Raspberry-Tartelettes aka Princess-Tartelettes for Emmi

July 9, 2015 by Deniz 6 Comments

This new recipe is divine: Gluten free and fructose free hemp seed tartelettes with strawberry-raspberry-curd // Dieses neue Rezept ist wahrhaftig königlich: Gluten-freie Hanfsamen Törtchen mit fructosearmer Erdbeer-Himbeer-Creme // fructopia.deThis new recipe is divine: Gluten free and fructose free hemp seed tartelettes with strawberry-raspberry-curd // Dieses neue Rezept ist wahrhaftig königlich: Gluten-freie Hanfsamen Törtchen mit fructosearmer Erdbeer-Himbeer-Creme // fructopia.deIt’s not always easy. People like you and me, are surrounded by endless menus, we run around supermarkets for hours, but in the end we still end up going home hungry and annoyed. “Do we really need to add onions, wheat, tomatoes, sugar, honey and dates to every freaking dish?” According to research, “every third German suffers from fructose malabsorption”, so do I really need to argue with the waiter when all I need to know is exactly what they put in the that dressing? Whoever came up with fructose malabsorption, must have loved complaining. After all, it’s what really comes naturally to us (sarcastic undertone), isn’t it?…

My morning: Healthy Happy Steffi

April 1, 2015 by Deniz 9 Comments

Interview Series: Healthy Happy Steffi on gluten and sugar free life // Interviewserie: Bloggerin Healthy Happy Steffi über ihren gluten- und zuckerfreien Morgen! // Fructopia.deMorning journal, meditation, oil pulling, breakfast recipes: Lately nothing fascinates me more than the art of starting the day in beautiful and productive fashion. The possibilities are endless. It begins with the multiple candidates for first drink of the day, be it hot lemon water, bulletproof coffee or fresh rosemary tea (insider tip if you are always freezing!). Breakfast yes or no? Some yoga sun salutations or straight to work? Everybody has their own way of claiming the day’s first sunbeams.

Seeing as the morning hours hold such a precious place in my heart, I thought it might be time to find out how other talented bloggers and bloggerettes start their day. And so the idea for my new morning interview series on FRUCTOPIA was born! So instead of asking „How was your night?“, from now on I’ll rather be asking „How was your morning?“

To break ground I’d like to introduce you to a very healthy and happy lady: Please meet Steffi, fellow blogger from healthyhappysteffi.com and freshly graduated nutritionist. Browsing through her blog assures me that she will breathe new life into the antiquated work of nutritionists in Germany. Not only, does she have first-hand knowledge when it comes to food intolerances, having successfully eliminated dairy, gluten and sugar from her diet, but she still manages to create delicious recipes (make sure to check out her Instagram profile!). Basically she breaks down hard to digest knowledge about food into fun little readable and edible bites. Great stuff! Now let’s give a warm welcome to Steffi!

The TOP 5 Sugar-Free Instagram Feeds You Should Follow

March 7, 2015 by Deniz Leave a Comment

Call me crazy, but a day without just doesn’t feel right. No, I’m not talking about my new favorite morning coffee. I’m talking about my daily dose of Instagram. These 5 Instagram profiles are truly a feast for the eyes and an infinite source of sugar-free recipe inspirations. If you’re asking me, sugar-free food never looked this good! But see for yourself (in no particular order):

Time To Reveal A Big Secret & Fructose Friendly Chocolates For All!

February 24, 2015 by Deniz 23 Comments

Time to reveal a big secret & fructose friendly hocolates for all! // Heute lüften wir ein Geheimnis. Fructosearme Pralinen für alle / by fructopia.deWords cannot describe. I’ve been bursting with excitement for a year, but find myself at a loss for words, now that the day has come, to raise the curtain and share my secret with you.

Countless times I imagined, what this moment of getting the big news out there would feel like. And now, I can finally present to you, what I’ve been putting so much heart into, what’s kept me awake at night and also gained me a few extra pounds.

But let’s start from the beginning. Sometime at the tail end of 2013 I wrote an email, asking for a free promo-code to download an app on fructose malabsorption to review it on my blog. At that time Fructopia was a mere six months old.

I received the code, tested the app and gave it a dismal rating, prompting me to write and share a detailed review. And then? Well, the people in charge of the app were actually delighted! Um, what? That’s right. They were delighted and wanted to talk to me.

And that was pretty much how we closed the deal. Let me dance a little dance, while I overdose on fructose, waiting for the symptoms to confirm this is real. …

Sweet Parsnip Bread

November 28, 2014 by Deniz 7 Comments

Fructosefree Christmas bread with parsnips // Pastinaken-Weihnachtsbrot ohne Fructose und ohne Weizen // Fructopia.deFructosefree Christmas bread with parsnips // Pastinaken-Weihnachtsbrot ohne Fructose und ohne Weizen // Fructopia.deSeeing lettuce heads hanging low, mere pale shadows of their former selves, while all the iridescent and plump berries have retired to the freezers emphasizes the writing on the wall: Winter in Turkey has arrived. Not only are the temperatures dropping, so is the availability of fructose free fruits and veggies. But don’t despair, there are still some fructose friendly gems around just waiting to be turned into warming soups and stews, hearty casseroles and fondues. All we need to do, is to switch our focus from green to white: Wake up dear celery roots and parsnips! These days we require more nutrients and energy to keep us warm than during any other time of the year. …

Purple basil lemonade

October 4, 2014 by Deniz 2 Comments

Fructose Free Lemonade #sugarfree #fructosefree #fructosemalabsorption // Lila Basilikum-Limonade #ohnezucker #fructosearm #fructoseintoleranz // Fructopia.de

Purple Basil Lemonade #sugarfree #fructosefree #fructosemalabsorption // Lila Basilikum-Limonade #ohnezucker #fructosearm #fructoseintoleranz // Fructopia.deMost of my recipes are a byproduct of me going nuts at the weekly farmers markets, buying more produce than I can handle. That’s why recipes such as this rainbow salad, which are designed to taste amazing, while coincidentally using up as much food as possible, are clearly among my favorites.

Today, instead of salad, I present you this basil lemonade.

Um, is that supposed to be tasty? Yep, very much so!

Purple basil, or thai basil, is vibrant in color and dulcet in taste. Add fresh lemon juice, powdered glucose and a pinch of anise, and you are set to go. It reminds me of ‘şerbet’, the refreshing, yet absurdly sweet lemonade from Ottoman times, that is still popular in Turkey to this day. But don’t worry, my blend is hardly as sweet.

It’s the perfect drink to ask summer for another extension.
