The use of the low fat yoghurt neutralised the sweetness giving the smoothie a mild taste.

Water – 11/1 Cups
Add all the ingredients into the cup of your extractor/blender/juicer, blend for 60 seconds or until smooth.

Kale, Spinach & Broccoli Soup
As I type this post on Kale, Spinach & Broccoli Soup, I am currently eating the yummy vegetable soup I made, it is quite delicious and I can feel my gut praising me for this wonderful and healthy vegetable soup I am having this morning.
This is my fist time of cooking with coconut oil, I am very impressed with the taste and its effect on the vegetable. You can read up on the benefits of using coconut oil here >>>>>>> Coconut Oil
Let me show you how I cooked this delicious vegetable soup.
Ingredients
Kale (frozen) – 2 Packets
Spinach (frozen) – 2 Packets
Broccoli – 1 Bunch
“Broccoli is a health powerhouse. Rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, folic acid, and calcium, the real kicker is how much fibre these little green florets have. Half of it soluble and half insoluble, you’ll get both types of the fibre your body needs all in one serving! Health organizations have recommended numerous servings of cruciferous vegetables per week due to their disease and cancer-fighting properties, so get started!” – http://www.nutriliving.com
Prawns (cooked) – 1 Packet
Onion – 1
Spices
Garlic
Cayenne Pepper
Salt
Coconut Oil – 2 cooking spoon serve
Water
Stock from previously cooked gizzards (optional).
How to cook your delicious vegetable soup.
Preparation.
Ensure you wash all the vegetables in water with drops of white vinegar, this will ensure no bacterial or fungi end up in your soup.
Wash your prawns in water.
Cut the Broccoli bulbs from the main stalk and wash thoroughly.
Add some water to your cooking port and allow to boil for 5 minutes.
If you have stock from previously boiling any type of meat, you can use that instead.
Add the diced onion.
Add your garlic, spice, salt, pepper and coconut oil, and allow to cook for until thickened.
Add your pre-cooked prawns and allow to cook for 3 minutes.
Add your vegetables (Broccoli, Kale & Spinach).

Your Kale, Spinach & Broccoli Soup is now ready to eat.
That was pretty quick and easy to cook.

#FoodReview – Dinner @ George’s Paragon Seafood Restaurant
Today is a public holiday in #Australia, and in continuation of the Christmas celebrations,we went to #Brisbane to feed our eyes and eventually had dinner.
Wifey wanted seafood and i was craving meat (steak, lamb) in fact, any grilled meat will do. No diet this week, that will resume in January.
We have eaten at George’s Paragon seafood restaurant before and our experience there was awesome , so it came naturally on our radar when we decided to have dinner.
We didn’t have a reservation, but the duty manager or staff in charge of bookings, Casandra was quite helpful as she sorted that out and gave us a vacant table quickly. She is an angel.
One quick tip for you , if you are seated in the restaurant between 5:30pm and 6:30pm, it is half rice, yes, you read that right, HALF PRICE !!!. I discovered that today too.
Starters.
We chose hot bread rolls with butter
Tzatzaki with Greek Yogurt
Drink.
We all opted for mocktails since we didn’t want alcohol, this drink was the bomb. Sweet, cold, fresh and quite fruity.
There are lots of options on the menu for seafood and meat, but I settled for the ‘Souvlaki’ which is the name for their grilled lamb dish.
The meat came out tender, fresh, yummy, properly cooked and awesome. I enjoyed every bite and would have ordered for more if not that i am conscious of my weight.
In case you want to try to cook that at home, the ingredients are listed below;
Souvlaki – Lamb, oregano, garlic, onion, capsicum, lemon, olive oil, served on rice with pita bread and Greek salad.
I gave the food a score of 8 out of 10 and will recommend the restaurant to anyone looking for an excellent place to dine while in Brisbane.
We were attended to by a waitress named , Kelly (in training) and she did an excellent job making sure our food came out on time , we never ran short of cold water and was quite courteous and friendly.
Restaurant : George’s Paragon Seafood Restaurant
Address: Level 1/45 Eagle St, Brisbane QLD 4000
Phone:(07) 3211 8111
Reservations quite essential to avoid disappointments.
