I just love hazelnuts. There is something about that perfect taste that every time surprises me. I put hazelnuts in everything: granola, overnight oats, shakes, cakes and bars. I have loved hazelnut spreads like Nutella since my childhood and, as a child, I was unable to imagine other breakfast than a slice of bread with Nutella. Unfortunately, the majority of hazelnut chocolate spreads nowadays are full of sugar and have a really low percentage of hazelnuts. In general, they all get the taste from artificial flavors. You get to understand that once you taste the real spread made of actual hazelnuts…
Summer is almost over and it makes me a little bit sad. Weekends at the beach, swimming and sunbathing will soon be over. But, it also makes me happy as autumn is a kind of a new start, a starting point to change your life, to start jogging, find a new job or spend an entire day under a blanket watching TV, and drinking hot chocolate when it’s raining outside. Before summer officially ends, I want to enjoy it just a little bit more, to spend some more time at the beach and enjoy sunrays on my skin. In my mind,…
The sky is pretty strange today, not completely cloudy nor clear. It is one of those days when you need a little extra energy to boost your mood, when you need more fruit and bright colors. Is there anything better to boost your energy at the beginning of autumn than a bright yellow mango smoothie? It’s like summer in a cup, if you ask me. Mmmm, as good as it gets. When I first tasted mango, I didn’t like it so much. I found its taste similar to the taste of parsley. I guess this will sound strange to all of…
I used to adore cow milk and I was able to drink up to 1l a day. Every single day. It usually wasn’t milk alone in my cup, but small amount of filter coffee mixed with huge amounts of milk. Very similar to Starbucks coffee, which I like very much, even though many people think of it as overrated, unhealthy and overpriced. I agree they can put various unhealthy additions such as different syrups and artificial flavors, and this way Starbucks coffee easily reaches the amount of calories of a whole meal. But, you can always opt for simple Caffe Latte, consisting…
Couple of days ago I was walking with a friend and came across some raw bars in a supermarket. They inspired me to make this simple recipe because it happened so many times that I spend the entire day outside and get hungry, so my blood sugar gets so low that even after I eat, I need a couple of hours to feel better. I understood that I would always need to carry a snack with me so I can raise my blood sugar immediately when it gets low. Normally I choose something that is easy to carry, like cookies or,…
Autumn has already begun but it is still very warm here, almost like at the beginning of June. September is, in my opinion, the best month in Barcelona. Weather is still great but there is no heat like in July or August so you can still go to the beach, or, if you don’t like swimming so much, enjoy riding a bike or running. The best thing about Barcelona is that the sky is clear during most of the time so you’ll literally want to spend all your time outside which can have its drawbacks, because you will not be in…
I can easily say that I changed my eating habits because of Nutella. One day I was googling how to make homemade Nutella and I found lots of food bloggers who were writing about healthy recipes, healthy lifestyle and the way of introducing more vegetables into your diet. That’s when I decided to change and start making healthier meals because my health is the most important thing to me. About a year and a half after that, I created this blog in order to share all the recipes I’ve gathered and invented that I think could be useful to all of…
