What I ate today (Vacations pt.1)

7:09:00 AM Unknown 0 Comments


Hello people! I haven't posted in a while and that's why I was on vacations! I spend a week in Agkistri Island and then 4 days in Loutraki. During my time in Agkistri I thought I could take the opportunity of making a what i ate in a day post for you. Now, I couldn't decide which day to post and I thought I could make two separate posts showing you what I ate in Agkistri, so keep an eye on my blog for part two!


 Let's go!
  • 9:00 am 

 So everyday I started my morning with pretty much the same thing, since I had packed some ingredients with me for making breakfast during that week.
This consists of a bunch of things; granola, a mix of dried fruits, flax seeds, a chopped banana, some dates and oat milk. This was obviously delicious and gave me so much energy early in the morning!


  • 12:00 pm
Later on, we went to a beautiful beach where I share half a melon with my brother (obviously I ate more than him). I just love summer and its sweet, refreshing fruits!

  • 3:00 pm
When we left the beach, we decided to eat in one of the tavern, and we went to a traditional tavern that was serving mainly fish. So, I ordered the only things that were vegan, potato fries and a Greek salad. Not exciting at all but it was tasty and very satisfying. Mediocre looks, good taste.

Then we went back to our hotel and where tiredness knocked me out and I had to take a nap. 
  • 7:00 pm 
I woke up from the nap feeling quite hungry and since it was almost dinner time, I ate the other half of the melon with some dates. Super satisfying and delicious.
  • 9:30 pm
A couple of hours later, we went to cafe/restaurant and since I wasn't feeling that hungry, I had some strawberry sorbet. Gotta love sorbets.
When we got back to our hotel, we just snacked on some grapes and that was it! 

As you can see, a lot of my meals was basically fruit which is perfect during the summer. And even if summer is almost over, don't be afraid to go and buy all those beautiful fruits this season has to offer you! You will feel so good eating all that goodness! See you in the next post, bye! x

2 green breakfast ideas

2:16:00 AM Unknown 0 Comments


Hello people! Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, you've heard that too many times. And although fruits are the best option for early in the day, it's good to throw some greens now and then. In this post, I'm going to show two amazing breakfast ideas that include something green, because green can make everything healthy! Except for the green m&m's, don't have these for breakfast.


 Breakfast No 1
Avocado toast

One of the easiest, quickest and tastiest breakfast (or any other meal tbh) you can make. Avocado has become really popular and why wouldn't it? It contains a wide variety of nutrients, including 20 different vitamins and minerals, and yes it is a high fat food but it contains naturally good fat food which your body needs. Also eating avocados can lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels and some studied have shown that it can even prevent cancer. 
But anyways, the way I like to incorporate avocado into my diet is usually by spreading it on a toast, put some tomato slices on top and maybe some cucumber or spinach. In some cases I will drizzled some soy sauce on top, as I did now.
If don't know how an avocado toast tastes like, I highly encourage you to make this, you can thank me later. Oh, and always use ripe avocados, I've been there.























Breakfast No 2
Green smoothie
So, this is something you may be familiar with. If not, don't be appalled. Throwing some greens into your regular smoothie can be suprisingly tasty and incredibly nutritious. And spinach is the way to go! Spinach is one of the most healthy foods in the planet, and among cancer-fighting fruits and veggies, spinach is one of the most effective. It's also low in fat and even lower in cholesterol, and high in protein, fiber, vitamins A, C, E and K, calcium, iron..the list goes on and on!
For my smoothie I used 2 handfull of spinach, one cucumber, 1 peach, 1 banana and a splash of soy milk. Some other fruit options are pinapple, mango, kiwi, grapes, whatever your heart desires!












Just mix your ingredients in a blender and you have yourself an amazing green smoothie loaded with goodness and nutrition. And trust me, you won't even taste the spinach, because the banana will sweeten it! This works as a good post-workout meal as well.






















Now go and make yourself some good breakfast and start your day right! xxx

Refreshing watermelon juice

7:05:00 AM Unknown 0 Comments

Hello people! Yesterday, August 3rd was actually Watermelon Day and I think everyone agrees with me when I say that watermelon is one of the best fruits! Fortunately, here in Greece there is always a watermelon in our fridge during summer. So, of course I had to make something in honor of this amazing fruit. And here it is, a refreshing, summery watermelon juice. Plus, it's a great way to use leftover watermelon so that it won't go bad. The only essential ingredient you need is,obviously, watermelon but I switched it up a bit and added a couple more things.


You will need:
(for 2 servings)
  • 2 cups watermelon (or more depending on how much juice you want)
  • the juice of 1 lemon
  • a handful of mint leaves






























Now, all you have to do is put those ingredients in a blender and blend for 1-2 minutes.






























That's it!You have yourself a hydrating juice, which tastes pretty bomb too.
