Followers of my blog know by now that my love for Kale knows no bound. Apart from the nutritional benefits, i love the fact that it is still crunchy in your mouth despite cooking it for a while.

Recipe;

Kale (fresh or frozen), Prawns, Salmon, Garlic

Ginger, Onion, Mixed Herbs & spices.

How to cook it?

1.Pour a little quantity of extra virgin olive oil into the pot (mine was a tad much tho).

2. Allow to heat for 2 minutes

3. Add the cut Garlic first , followed by ginger.

4. Add the cut onion and salt to taste.

5. Stir the three ingredients and allow to cook for 2 minutes.

6. Add the washed and peeled prawns.

7.Add your salmon.

8.  Stir all and allow to cook for 5 minutes.

9. Add your kale

10. Allow to steam for 5 minutes and it is ready to be served.

Eat with a small portion of any carbohydrate you like Rice, Semo, Eba, Pounded Yam if you want.

Eat responsibly.

Breakfast for champions.

Breakfast 002Breakfast 001

Breafast 003Breakfast 004

My week has been going alright so far. How about yours?

I just came back from a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) which I had with a personal trainer at the gym.

I must confess that dude was mean but very supportive making sure I completed all the exercises he mapped out for today. Every part of my body felt the hit but it is for my own overall good as I have determined to kick out fat, stay healthy and keep trim.

I actually have a goal to lose 10kg in 6 months (wish me luck), else there will be no new clothes in the coming year for summer till I arrive at my target size and shape. My main concern has been my stubborn pot belly, which is a product of uninformed eating habits and lifestyle.

So it is time for breakfast which I have been advised never to skip and to make sure I eat it at the right time which is around 7am –  8am since our body has been at rest (fasting) throughout the night, that is assuming you are not one of those who wake up at night to have a bite from whatever is available in the fridge or on the kitchen table.

 I settled for porridge garnished with some seeds and berries, boiled eggs and a glass of smoothie, see recipe below;

 1 Cup of Porridge (Oats)

 2 Cups of Water

2 Boiled Eggs (picture below shows one becau   se i couldn’t wait to eat that before taking pictures for the blog).

2 Teaspoons of Chia Seeds

2 Teaspoons of Raw Organic Cacao Nibs

2 Cups of Blueberries

Cook in water for 3 minutes.

Serve and enjoy with a glass of smoothie.
