What About a Spectacular Breakfast?

                              
Breakfast: that immensely important meal of the day, that energizer, that perfect start in the morning...that thing we always seem to have way too little time for.

And that's not ok. Breakfast should set you up for a great start filled with everything your body needs. 
As someone who wakes up in the morning and tries to do everything as fast as possible, I can tell you that during the week, the luxury of having a full and hearty breakfast seemed so far fetched I almost laughed at it.
But not anymore! Because you can do it fast and efficient and delicious.

Here's what you need:

- Yogurt
- Fruit. I've been having a peach moment,followed by a berry moment, but you can have any fruit moment
- Nuts. Almonds are actually my favorites  but that doesn't mean the rest of the nut world is not open
- Seeds. I was lucky enough to find a sesame/chia/pumpkin/sunflower seed mix for this one
- Chocolate. If you don't want to add sweeteners like syrup or sugar, just grate some chocolate on top

And voila! A filling and nutritious breakfast to last you for most (if not all) morning!

Making THE Best Smoothie Out There

A while ago, I went to my favorite smoothie makers and saw a very interestingly named smoothie: The Strudel Smoothie.
I was also confused as to how a smoothie was going to become a strudel but the ingredients looked magnificent: muesli, apple, cinnamon and honey.

The bigger surprise came when I tasted it and it was incredible! It had that familiarly delicious taste that I don't necessarily associate with a strudel but definitely with baked goods from when I was small.It was pretty magical and I was surprised that somebody had managed to create such a thing.

So you can imagine I tried to recreate it, the great part about it was, it was incredibly easy to recreate spot on. So here's how you can do it too:

Step 1 : Gather up your ingredients. Muesli (I picked oats because they give it a delicious thickness), some cinnamon, milk and an apple

Step 2: Cut and slice whatever needs to be sliced. I actually use an apple and a glass of milk per portion and it works out great. I also suggest using as much oats as you want, you will want it of a thicker consistency.

Step 3: Throw everything in a blender and add some honey. Again, the quantity is completely up to you.

Step 4: Pour it and enjoy it!

I am pretty sure you will experience the same kind of love at first taste that I did!

Pretty Photos: My Favorite Color, Mint

For a very long time I've been obsessed with this color.
I think it was ever since I saw the first mint nail polish that I needed to have more of it. It's for some reason very soothing to me, and along with Aqua, it's one of those colors that make me happy.
So here's some photos that will hopefully make your day a bit better                         

How great is this clock!

That ended in a YUM! didn't it?

Girly Obsessions: Cupcake Liners

Are you in cute mode?

You should be! Because up next are one of my cutest obsessions:  Cupcake Liners!

They come in so many colors and patterns that it's impossible not to develop some sort of fascination with  how pretty they are and how many kinds you can find!

In the picture above there's just a couple of the ones I own and I always enjoy baking little cupcakes in them and eating them up from these beautifully colored things!

How's your relationship with cupcake holders? Are you as fascinated by them as me or do you have any other pretty obsession?

The Fruit Pudding! Another Kind of Breakfast

Whenever fresh fruit start popping up, I'm the first one to go on a fruit diet. I love waking up and eating some fruity goodness!What I usually do is a smoothie.
Now I know that might not be for everyone, some need a more hearty breakfast, or at least a thicker texture. But have no fear,for that is possible!

Here's what you need:

I used: Mango, Papaya,Pears,Cranberries,Grapes And Buckthorn.

These are all packed with vitamins and other goodness that your body will thank you so much for!
It's part of the reason I love eating them, it's a total health boost!

What to do:

Cut them into pieces, like so

Then, just blend away!  

You'll end up with the yummiest fruit paste!

The cranberries and the buckthorn are known to not be the sweetest of fruits ( also because of their high Vitamin C content) so you might wanna add a bit of sugar. Try cane or Muscovado sugar. They're a bit healthier variations.

Also be careful with the Papaya! When peeling it, peel a thick layer along with the skin ( approx an inch) , because if not, you will be left with a bitter taste.


Now just grab a spoon and enjoy! And I hope you feel your health levels rising!

Summer Tip : Smoothies

It's summer. It might or might not be very hot and sunny,but we know it's summer.
And what defines summer better than a delicious smoothie from super fresh fruit?
That's why I've gotten quite addicted to them. Today,I'm sharing one of my favorites with you:

The Watermelon Mango Smoothie


What you need:

• A blender,juice maker or a stick blender
• Watermelon and a mango

I use a bit more watermelon than I do mango,as it contains more water and makes the smoothie more liquid.If you like a chunkier texture,then go nuts with the mango!

Put them in the blender,mix them until they get the smoothie shape and enjoy!
It is perfect for breakfast as it boosts your energy and vitamin levels and it serves as a yummy refreshment during any part of the day.
One of my absolute favorites for sure!
Try it out and let me know if you liked it :)
