Did you notice how, as we approach Christmas and New Year’s Eve, all brands start their marketing campaigns to make us shop more and buy our presents exclusively in their shops. Everywhere we look we see glittery decorated shop windows, full of shiny things and pralinés boxes. For some people, December is one of the most beautiful months; everything is shining in a new way, people are nicer and happier because of the upcoming holidays and time they are going to spend with their families. On the other hand, this is a stressful period for some, as, due to long working…
Granola is something I always like to have in my kitchen. It’s delicious, healthy and great to combine with all sorts of ingredients. You can combine it with overnight oats, chia pudding, yoghurt, milk and fruits. Even when I travel, I bring a jar of homemade granola with me to have for breakfast cause you never know what kind of breakfast you’ll have in your hotel. Sometimes there are some healthy options, but sometimes you can only have bread, croissants or cakes and that’s really not something I’d eat for breakfast. Better safe than sorry, I always say. Even if I…
I can’t understand people who don’t eat breakfast because they are not hungry or they don’t have time in the morning. I simply can’t. Ok, we all sometimes oversleep and then rush out of the house forgetting coffee, breakfast and who knows what else. I hope this doesn’t happen so often to you, because I know from my experience how bad it feels . Another reason for skipping the breakfast – because you are not hungry in the morning-never happened to me. As soon as open my eyes, I am hungry and I need to eat something. Actually, I’m always a…
„Life is short, eat the dessert first.“ Jacques Torres I needed something sweet today, some creamy yet healthy cake to eat without guilt. When you like sweets as much as I do and you are 30 and something, you realize that large amounts of sweets aren’t good for your body, health, and aforementioned guilt. It happened so many times that I didn’t eat anything sweet for a long time, and then, in the moment of weakness, I eat enormous quantities of chocolate and destroy all the efforts to live healthy. It doesn’t make any sense, I know. About a year and a…
Who doesn’t like chocolate? Very few people, I guess. If I could speak for all the women in the world, I would say no one. Is it possible not to like that perfection that has so many times helped us to get over a failed exam, love crisis or a bad day at work? But I know there are girls and women out there who just don’t share my love for chocolate and that’s ok. Some people just don’t like sweet taste and some just avoid it because of so many times mentioned guilt, so common to women and which doesn’t…
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…
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…
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…
