Low-calorie 'birds' milk' dessert recipe shared by Lithuanian blogger

Rūta Šalnienė, creator of the blog "Weight Loss at Home," has shared a recipe for a protein-rich dessert that closely resembles the taste of "birds' milk," a popular sweet treat. Šalnienė, who has lost over 30 kilograms herself, aims to help others with dietary restrictions enjoy sweets without gaining weight.

Those who are on dietary restrictions and fear gaining kilograms, but want to eat deliciously, this recipe is for you.

Šalnienė's personal journey began over two years ago when she weighed 105 kilograms. The mother of two found it difficult to even kneel to play with her children due to severe knee pain. This realization prompted a significant lifestyle change, including altering her eating habits to consume food only between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., drinking 3-5 liters of water daily, and incorporating exercise. Within six months, she shed 30 kilograms, with an additional 5 kilograms following later.

My path to a healthier life began more than two years ago when I saw a reflection in the mirror that scared me. The scales showed 105 kg, and it was almost impossible to kneel down to the children – my knees hurt so much that tears would stream down.

She emphasizes that she did not give up sweets but instead learned to prepare healthier versions. This led to a passion for healthy eating, experimenting in the kitchen, and creating nutritious smoothies. With over 64,000 followers on social media, Šalnienė shares various recipes, including chocolate waffles and now this "birds' milk"-like dessert.

I didn't give up sweets, I just started making them healthier. That's how I discovered a love for healthy food, experimenting in the kitchen, and even delicious smoothies.

"My husband tasted it and couldn't believe it wasn't real birds' milk from the store. This is much healthier and tastier birds' milk," Šalnienė stated, encouraging others to try the recipe. The dessert requires ingredients like gelatin, milk, quark cheese, a sugar substitute, vanilla, and cocoa for the chocolate layer. The preparation involves creating a base layer with quark and gelatin, allowing it to set, and then topping it with a chocolate layer made with cocoa and gelatin.
