- Put 350ml of water and 1/3 of Queal bag into the blender
- Pour the banana inside

- Mix well
- Enjoy!
Results
The combination of Funky Forest Fruit Queal and banana tasted really interesting. Both tastes worked very well with each other and created a very distinctive fruity taste. The texture was smooth and the drinking experience was pleasant because of the juicy taste created by this combination of fruits. Definitely a recommendation for everyone who likes the taste of fresh fruit!

Making pancakes with Queal is just awesome! Some people miss the bite you get from traditional food; this solves this problem and others. Of course it does involve some cooking, but it doesn’t take more than 10-15 minutes. This time we added chunks of banana to the mix, and its great!
You will need
• ½ banana
• 1/3rd bag of Queal + oil
• Bowl + Frying pan
Instructions
1. Cut the banana into small chunks
2. Mix Queal + banana + water till you get a slightly thick substance
3. Heat your pan to medium heat + add 3ml oil
4. Pour in 1/4 of your mix
5. Repeat step 4
6. Healthy Pancakes!!!
Results
Making pancakes with Queal is just as easy as making pancakes with normal batter. This is because Queal contains soy flour. The only difference is consistency, so please be very careful when flipping your pancake!
With that out of the way, let’s talk about the taste. It’s really great! Baking with Queal (also see Shortbread Cookies & Queal Pancakes) preserves the flavour of your choice, and makes it even more distinct. We used Cool Chocolate Queal and this mixed with Banana is great.
Baking with Queal takes little time and creates a whole new experience. Try out some flavours and get your cooking game on!
If you have any other suggestions please let us know on twitter, facebook, or on instagram. Your idea may be featured in one of the next Tinkering Thursdays.

Wow, this turned out great! The fresh apples really added to the taste and texture, while substituting Queal for flour tasted awesome. We would have liked more of a crunchy surface on top, but it didn’t negatively affect the taste. We are loving baking with Queal!
We really recommend this recipe for anyone who loves a tasty breakfast or desert.

Well, for anyone who likes a little heat with their sweet, this is the shake for you! Don’t worry if you’re not into spicy food, the sweetness of the Cool Chocolate cuts through most of the chilli’s heat. So if you’re in the mood to try something a little different, give this a go, and let us know how it turned out!

Results
The end result was really remarkable! Our brownie was crunchy on the outside and really soft and juicy inside. It smelled so good that our colleagues couldn’t resist and ran straight to the kitchen to have a bite. Just a few seconds after I took the picture the brownie was almost gone! It was also quite surprising that after eating two pieces I was completely full (probably because the whole thing had 2748 calories). I have to admit, it was the most filling brownie I’ve ever eaten!
