Easy-To-Prepare-Breakfast to energize your day! Just Blend it!

-->
Creamy Berry Smoothie

It was a Sunday evening over dinner and was chatting with some friends about nutrition. The main issue why people don’t eat breakfast was because it isn’t convenient. I’d like to correct that! Breakfast is extremely crucial to kick start your day because it can provide you with energy and keep your metabolism stable for you to burn fat!!!
Personally I train really early in the morning. So I want something that is a good mix of proteins, carbs and fat. Easy to absorb by the body and great for digestion.

Let’s get started!!




Ingredients:
1 x Frozen Banana
Frozen Raspberries or Strawberries
1 cup baby spinach
250 ml unsweetened almond milk
Chopped almonds

Put all the ingredients into a blender and turn it on!
Blend till you get the texture you want. The longer you blend it, the smoother and creamier it gets

Enjoy!

You can enjoy healthy meal with Seafood too!

-->

Cajun Prawn and Mexican salsa Wrap
Prawns are one of my favourite seafoods! Virtually no fat, high in protein and vitamins B-12, B-6 and niacin which helps production of energy, manufacture red blood cells and maintaining normal nerve function!
Now let’s get cooking!!
 
Ingredients:
100gms of prawns/shrimp

1 large tomato/ 10 baby tomatoes

Half a red onion

2 limes

2 ripe avocados

2 large chilies or jalapenos (spicy salsa)

3 to 4 tablespoons of olive oil

Rocket leaves

Any type of whole wheat wrap

Cajun spices

Salt and Pepper

Making the Salsa
Chop up the red onion, tomatoes, avocados and chilli into a large bowl and mix it together with olive oil and lime juice. Always start with 1 lime first and gradually build the flavor. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer more zest add in more lime! If you refer a spicier salsa more chilli or you can use chilli flakes.

Making the prawns.
When choosing prawns make sure the meat is firm. De-shell and De-vein the prawns before seasoning.
Add your Cajun seasoning. I usually just a low sodium pre-mix. Fresh prawns a naturally sweet so not much salt needs to be added.

Heat up your pan and add olive oil/canola oil and over a medium to high heat sautee the prawns. Once the prawns start to curl they are cooked. Usually they cook in a few mins.
Assemble the wrap by toasting the wrap in a heated pan and place the salsa and prawns. Wrap it up and enjoy!!
