Vegetable and Chicken Omellette...

Try this for a filling, satisfying, yummy and nutritious lunch (Be creative - you can use any variety of ingredients, so long as they're healthy):


Ingredients:


  • Eggs (however many you want, depending on how many people you're making it for)
  • Onions 
  • Chicken portion (ideally skinless), chopped up (you could use any other animal here - lean cuts, otherwise grass-fed meat that's reared free range and free from antibiotics or hormones..., or fish...up to you...)
  • Variety of vegetables (different colours: romaine lettuce, green lettuce, kale, celery, etc: chop those that need chopping eg celery, use your fingers to make the leaves smaller if you want)
  • Flax seed (at least 1 and 1/2 heaped tablespoon): this guarantees your fibre and satiety from this dish.
  • Hemp seed (at least 1.5 heaped tablespoon)
  • Coconut oil for cooking
  • Olive Oil and Hemp Oil for sprinkling on it when it's done for more omega 3.
  • Seasoning: your favourite spices. Plus or minus tamari Soy sauce




How To Make It:
  • Mix the eggs and onions, stir in your seasoning...
  • Put in a dollop (okay half to one teaspoonful) of Coconut oil into a pan and put on some low heat under it.
  • When the oil's heated some, pour in the egg mix
  • Gradually add the rest of the ingredients, veggies last of all, stirring the whole time
  • Aim to not let it be heated for long. Once the egg's no longer raw it's ready to eat!

Green Smoothie with Spirulina!

It's Saturday! Time to try another green smoothie!


This one is so yummy and oooh so filling!


Anyone who says that healthy foods don't taste good doesn't know what they're talking about!

Ingredients as you can see in the pic on the left:

  • 4 strawberries
  • 1 banana
  • 1 heaped desertspoonful of Flax-seed (my satiety agent, among other things! This makes sure I'm not hungry for ages after this meal...)
  • Half a desertspoon of Spirulina (I'll share the health benefits of this in a coming post so keep your eyes peeled...) - this makes EVERYTHING green!
  • Almond milk (still not gotten round to making my own so this'll have to do for now.)
The great thing about smoothies is that you just put the ingredients in the blender and hit the blend button. Course you have to chop them into smaller bits first, depending on how powerful your blender is.

If you take them soon after making them, you get the most nutrients from them. The longer you leave it before drinking your fresh smoothie, the more the nutrients get lost due to oxidation and stuff.

This one rocks! Try it and see!

To your health!
