Sweet protein yogurt

This mouthwatering beauty is probably what many of you have already tried, but I think it still deserves a moment in a spotlight. It's simple, delicious and good choice to go for when you get a craving for something sweet! The consistency is lovely and soft, feels like eating something creamy!

Tonight I had it with simple natural yogurt I grabbed in store. I usually make it with greek yogurt. I think is great with greek, russian and basic natural yogurt. I haven't yet tried with turkish or bulgarian, which are a bit more sour. I personally love it with vanilla casein powder, but you can go for whatever you would like and it doesn't have to be casein. You can also skip adding honey and instead go with fruits or berries.

300g yogurt

30g(1 scoop) protein

1 tbsp honey

Mix it all and enjoy. 

Breakfast smoothie

Every morning lately I been having smoothies for breakfast. I even use same recipe just change the fruits, lettuces and berries or add different "spice". So it's never same but always nutrious and hydrates my body while giving my body everything else it needs. Also I can make it before I leave home while getting ready and have it on my way or a bit later at work if I'm fasting.

This one that I'm having in picture on my way was really delicious and easy to make!

2 nectarines (or 1 banana)

100g kale

1 tbsp coconut oil

200g blackcurrants

1 scoop of vanilla protein (you can try with chocolate too!)

1 tsp spirulina (optional)

Pinch of salt(seasalt, himalayan etc)

Add water till you reach consistency you like.

Just blend it all up and you are ready to go! 

Best part with this smoothie is that most ingredients you can change. You don't like coconut oil, use avocado instead! Instead spirulina you can add some honey or cinnamon. I just listed options in recipe of combinations I have tried. This smoothie gives you carbs, protrin, fat, vitamins and minerals so you won't need coffee to get energy. 

It has 495 kcal, 17.4g fat, 69.3g carbs, 6.3g fiber and 26.6g protein.

Also contains potassium,  vitamin a, vitamin c, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and many more.

 This meal was soooooo delicious! I loved it! So decided to share it here. It's easy to prepare and it's healthy. Definately one of my favourites from now on.

All you need for this meal:

- Chicken
- Soy sauce
- Sesame/peanut/coconut oil
- Vegetable or chicken stock or bouillon cube
- Couscous
- Carrot
- Broccoli
- Green beans
- Bell pepper
- Onion
- Garlic
- Scallions
- Additional veggies: chickpeas, other beans, asparagus, corn, peas, cauliflower, bamboo shoot, eggplant, radish, lentil. zucchini etc.
- Additional possible adds: Mint, lime, lemon, curry, parsley, cumin, coriander, tomato sauce, pesto, sesame seeds, sesame paste(tahini), other seeds, nuts, cashews, ginger root, salt, sugar, brown sugar, honey, rice wine vinegar etc
- You can replace chicken with tofu.

1. Prepare couscous or use already prepared one.
So use same amount of water as much you got couscous so 1dl couscous needs 1dl water. Dissolve bouillon cube in water or use stock instead of water to add flavor to couscous then add it to couscous in a bowl and leave it to absorb all of the liquid in it.
2. Spray wok or pan with oil and add soysauce then place on medium heat. Add chicken.
3. When chicken starts to look ready, add the rest to the pan and let them stir 5-10 minutes while moving them around to prevent sticking.
4. Mix in with couscous.

Optional: you can always marinade the chicken ahead. So mix soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic and chili then add chicken and keep it in fridge for 15 minutes or more. Step 2 will then mean adding chicken and marinade to oiled wok.

Quick and easy! Tasty aswell. :)
