Saturday morning brekky

Morning All,

So this morning I really felt like some toast for breakfast! I do not eat alot of bread, so I do not get too hung up on having toast for breakfast every now and then. 

This is my breakfast...

Abbots bakery mixed grain toast with spinach leaves and eggs - i cook my eggs in my pie maker :) 

I also made myself a "lemon zinger" which is basically one whole lemon including the skin chucked into my blender - I use the ladyship, I put my filter piece in, put 500ml of cold water, add some stevia and blend!

Ladyship 

And this is the finished product - my lemon zinger. I like to drink it with a straw, it makes you need to pee alot but it tastes yummy and is a good detoxer!

Back on track

Hi All,

So I had a bit of a tough day yesterday. Just found out that my university enrollment for semester two had not gone through correctly therefore I am not enrolled which is why I had not received any of my unit materials - then I found out that the semester is already 5 weeks in. Soooo hopefully, fingers crossed the unit coordinators let me in because they are my last two units before I graduate!

But anyway !!!! Last night I did not have a workout because I just was not in the mood and I may have had a little bit of cookies n cream icecream BUT I am back on track today :).

Had a good workout tonight 300 reps of sit ups, pushups, squats, lunges etc.

Don't beat yourself up if you go off track, just get back on it!


This morning I made a yummy banana and apple juice and it was so yummy!!!!!!

Basically all I put in was one frozen banana and two green apples with water and a couple of ice cubes and it tasted good.

Anyway!!!

Im having homemade pumpkin and pinenut pizza - healthy and so tasty!

Quinoa lettuce wraps

Hi All,

So tonight I made myself Quinoa lettuce wraps for dinner - so yummy! The chilli gave it a bit of a kick but very nice. Will taste good cold tomorrow for lunch :) 

I got the recipe from here (link) but below is a pick of how mine turned out. Looks a bit sloppy in the pic but its not actually :) was rather tasty. 

Enjoy!!!

Banana pie - I made it!!!

Hi All,

Okay so I made the banana pie, and I must say it is YUM.

I forgot to add the peanuts into the base mixture but it turned out awesome anyway. Just remember to grease whatever you put the base in to set so you can remove it easily :/ usually I will use a little bit of cooking spray BUT i forgot and it was a bit hard to remove. All it takes is a smidge.


But here is a pic of how mine turned out and it was very satisfying. 

It was hard to get out so I had to smoosh in the sides in a bit, but you get the gist :)  But i also froze my banana topping and added nuts into mine so I deviated from the original recipe a bit. 

See my link for the recipe here.

Hope you enjoy!

Green salad

WOW!!!

I had fish for dinner tonight and I really wanted a nice salad to go with it, but rather than just making my traditional salad with carrot, cucumber, tomato, lettuce etc I thought to myself that I am going to make something different.

So I made a green salad, and it was AMAZING.

Ingredients:

Lettuce (any you prefer) 
Cucumber
Avocado
Green apple
Asparagus
Leek

Basically all I did was break a bit of lettuce up chuck it on the plate. I then cut some cucumber slices up and just quartered them and chopped some leek up finely just to add a bit of an onionish taste. I also added avocado. I cut up my apples into slices and then place into a frypan with my asparagus to cook up (until they start to get a goldish tinge) and then I removed and added to my salad. It was so yummy!!!


Hope you enjoy!

Strawberry Fusion Juice

Hi All!


This afternoon I had an awesome workout, which consisted of:

20 x knee high jogs
20 x push ups
20 x half burpees
20 x lunges
20 x should press with dumbells


It was awesome!!! Full on, I must admit that by the end of it I was almost numb! But that is the ending I want to a good workout :)


I did think while I was doing it to think of the long term reward and also the short term reward - my strawberry "fusion" juice which I just made up on the go after my workout today and it tastes AMAZING!

Ingredients:

First I blended a whole lemon (with skin) and an orange with the skin removed to make a juice which I let filter through my ladyship blender. I created about 1L of the lemon/orange juice so mixed with water. 

Then...I removed the orange lemon juice from the blender and gave it a clean then I added my other ingredients to blend:

7 x strawberries tops removed

1 x cup raspberries (I used frozen)

1/2 cup cut mango (or frozen mango cubes x 4 big ones)

Then add the lemon/orange juice

BLEND!!!!

Tastes awesome :D

Recipe: 
Base : blend together 

3/4 cup dates not soaked
1/3 cup oats
1/4 mixed nuts of any kind!
1/4 cup coconut 
1 tablespoon hiney or sweetener of. Your choice 
1 tablespoon coconut oil or any oil I used rice bran oil! 

Blend till really fine so maybe 3 mins or something till its edible and dates are not super chunky! 

And then you get a tart base 

Press the mixture into tart base like firmly then but the base into the freezer ! 

Filling! 

JUST SOME MASHED BANANAS !!!! You can add cinnamon or vanilla for flavour ! 

And then take the tart base out from the freezer , I left mine in for 10-15 mins and run knife around edge carefully then bang in onto the table or something the base should fall out !

Fill up with banana and top with shredded coconut and cinnamon! 

Put in freezer again for filling to cool
