Calories...

Calories. Everyone is talking about calories. How much to eat, how many to burn and so on and so on and so on. But how many of you know, what a calorie actually is? So here is a definition of a calorie for you:
A calorie is a unit of energy which is defined by the amount of energy or heat it takes to
increase the temperate of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius. Nowadays we tend to
associate calories with food and drink, but in actual fact they can apply to anything which
contains energy, such as electricity or gas!
 So here you go, now you know that little fact :)

Food journey - recipe

Wanted to share a yummy healthy recipe of a salad. It can be either a snack or a main meal, depends on a size of your portion.
So it goes:
*Mixed greens. Whatever you prefer, I use spinach, rocket and watercress.
*Tomatoes
*Different coloured peppers. I used 1/2 of yellow & 1/2 red.
*Prawns
*Wild rice, I had leftovers from my lunch previous day( The other day I had a salmon steak with wild rise and green salad) .Some times I use buckwheat instead.
* Virgin olive oil. Season to taste.
Enjoy your meal :)

Two ingredient cookies

I have found a fantastic cookie recipe! It's quick to prepare, cooked in 15 min, has only TWO main ingredients and you can have any adds in you want!
What you will need:
2 over ripen bananas
1 cup of quick oats
Mash up bananas with oats, add if you want raisins, nuts etc. Or dont add anything else, they still will be fab. You can also add your protein powder but will need little bit more banana to keep it moist.
Then spoon it on a GREASED paper and bake for about 15 min.
I LOVED them and my kids too, they ate a whole lot :)))
