So last week while shopping I bought strawberries for the first time this yeah. They weren't perfect yet but oh, who doesn't love strawberries? This morning I went for a delicious vegan  milkshake to keep me fueled and let me tell you that it was amazing!

Strawberry Banana Breakfast Shake

For this breakfast you will need:

• 1 Banana
• Strawberries
• Soy-milk
• Oats

Cut the fruit up and put the into a blender with the oats.

The oats I used are an awesome mix I found the store thanks to my boss. It's an unsweetened 6-grain oat mix with sunflower seeds. Delicious!

Add the Soy-milk. (Soy Milk is fairly new to me. I heard it's not that wide spread in the fitness-community, but you can always replace it with regular milk or almond milk.)

Mix everything up.

Enjoy!

If you're using Weight Watchers, this whole shake had only around 5 ProPoints. You can always reduce this number by using Almond- or Skimmed Milk or reducing the oats.

Enjoy!

I'm not usually trying to actively skip carbs. I think they are good for you, depending on the kind and amount. However, this didn't stop me from looking for alternatives to bread and found something pretty amazing.


Low Carb Egg Bread:

For 6 pieces you will need:

• 2 eggs
• Aprox. 2 Tbs of Cream cheese
• Baking Powder
• Flavoring, Spices (Optional)

The very basic of this recipie are eggs, cream cheese and Baking soda. You could take this recipe in a million directions. You could use a savory, flavored cream cheese (Maybe Herbs or Horseradish) and Spices or just sugar and coco for a sweeter version. I went for a savory version with Tomato Mozzarella Spice (Witch is Salt, Pepper and Rosemary).


Separate the egg-yolk from the egg-white.

Into the egg-yolk mix the cream cheese and spices until it's smoothe. (I also added a splash of Worcestershire Sauce)

In a separate bowl add the Baking Soda to the egg white and beat it untill it is nice and fluffy and firm.

You know it's ready when your egg-white gives you these stiff peaks.

Now slowly fold in the egg-yolk-mix into the egg-white. Sloooowly and bit by bit. You want to keep as much air in the egg-white as possible.

In the end you should have a fluffy awesome batter.

Now spread the batter onto a baking sheet in 6 portions. Use a spoon to push them into somewhat flat, even discs.

Not put them into the preheated oven for 10-15 Minutes at 150°C. Have good eye on them. They burn fast. Just trust your nose when there are done.

After they're baked you get this gorgeous and beautiful gold color. Put your bread onto a cooling rack.

At this point, if you're using Weight Waters, one of these bread slices has 1 ProPoint.

From here you can put whatever you want on them. I went for even more cream cheese (LOVE that stuff), salad, turkey, feta cheese, tomato and tomato puree.

One of these sandwiches, if you use Weight Watchers, only has between 2 to 3 ProPoints.

Sooooo good. But be warned. Do not expect the same fullness as you would get from bread. The fullness comes from what you put on your sandwich. Also: Spice the hell out of your batter!

I hope you enjoyed this recipie as much as I did!

Enjoy,
Anna

It's Snack attack once again!
I plan on watching some "Velvet Goldmine" right now. And what sack comes to mind when you think about watching a movie? Exactly: Popcorn.

I will show you the embarrassingly simple recipe for fat free Popcorn.

You will need:

• Dried maize kernels
• Spices (Optional)

For one person 50 grams of maizle kernels is more than enough to munch on. Put the kernels into a pan or pot with a long handle and put on a lid before putting it on high heat, no oil, no nothing.
By the way: I prefer glass lids so I see the action.

I've made my fair share of popcorn in my life and let me tell you: It's worth putting a tiny bit of effort into it. So once the pan gets hot and some leftover moisture from the kernels evaporates, start moving the pan every 10-15 seconds. That's why I chose a pot with a long handle: So I can shake things up properly.

So stand by your pot and shake it every 10-15 seconds. I used to just put the kernels in in the pan and wait for them to pop. Too often I ended up with burned or tiny pieces popcorn. Shaking them ensures every side of the kernels gets some heat before popping properly.

Even while the popcorn is filling up the pan I keep shaking it every now and then so nothing burns.

Finally fill your delicious, hot popcorn into a bowl and season if wanted. I'm a actually fine with just salt.

If you're using Weight Watchers: This 50g bowl of Popcorn only has 5 ProPoints.

Enjoy your movie!

Now this might sound weird at first but believe me it's a good alternative to the regular wheat or corn wraps: Savoy Burritos.

As I once said before: It's not about skipping, it's about replacing. I want some Burritos and I made it happen.

Savoy Burritos

For this recipe you will need:

• Savoy
• Quinoa
• Onions
• Carrots
• Red Bellpepper
• Cherry Tomatos (not in the picture)
• Prawns
• Avocado
• Spinach

For the Sauce:

• Greek Joghurt
• Tahin

Before starting the rest, boil a liter of water. This will be used to soften the Savoy later on. Cut the onions into little pieces.

Sweat them, add the Quinoa and add the boiling water.

You can either add the (frozen) prawns directly into the pot or, as I did, put a bamboo steamer on the Quinoa.

While that is boiling away separate some huge Savoy leafes.

Cut off as much of the stems as possible so it won't be tough to chew later on.

I put the leaves into a bowl and poached them in boiling water. Especially the tough, lower part. Believe me: I once skipped this step. The Burritos weren't so pleasurable to eat.

After the savoy leaves are soft to your liking, dry them and set aside.

Now it's time to cut up allll of your vegetables. After finishing that job, take a bit of your joghurt and mix it with a tea spoon of Tahin. So good!

 
By the time you're done with everything both the prawns and the Quinoa should be done as well.

Let's get ready to rumble!

 Savoy Wrap ...

Quinoa ...

Carrots ...

Bellpepper ....

Prawns ...

Spinach ...

Cherry Tomatoes ...

Avocado ....

Tahin Sauce ....

Now wrap it up like a Burrito, turn around .....

Cut open and enjoy!

I love eating this! It's so filling and you can put anything you want in there!


I hope you like this recipe! What would you fill your Savoy Burrito with?

If you're using Weight Watchers, one of these Wraps should have around 4 to 5 ProPoints.

Take care and be sexy,
Anna
