Image: My Sandwich – Vegetables and Avocado

 

Today I had this Vegetables and Avocado sandwich for breakfast. Messy as you can see but I was satisfied for the past 4 hours. I have no food cravings and I was in my most active moments. Taking few glasses of water for the day is great too. In the evening, we tried a Fat torch-er exercise with my Hubby for 35 minutes. A happy and fine day for me.

Recipe: Breakfast Smoothie

Recipe: The breakfast Smoothie

There are moments when our normal breakfast menu seem unattractive to us like bacon and eggs, vegetable or fruit salads, sandwiches, oats or pan cakes. Fried rice,  fried noodles or bread and others.

Let me introduce you my Breakfast Smoothie – fast and easy to prepare and nutritious to start a day. Are you game?

Squeeze of lime or lemon (optional)

a pinch of salt

 

The Breakfast Smoothie Preparations

Switch – Off  blender and pour over the smoothie into a bowl. Top with unsweetened dark chocolate or a teaspoonful of lemon. Serve!

Breakfast Smoothie @Hana’s Kitchen … Slurp!  its delicious and nutritious for breakfast.

I am in my fifty’s and I am getting cautious to what I eat mainly, I am looking too rounded by the waist. Being short makes me darn angry seeing  a barrel sized shadow whenever I happen to pass by a big mirror. I feel pretty embarrassed somehow:-

My husband gives an assurance that he loves me no matter what look I have and I believe him. Yet, to look  slim is somehow a fantasy… and I believe watching what I eat is a very good initiative to me. This is how this Breakfast Smoothie came about.

Light and easy to digest breakfast.

I shall be sharing more recipe on beverages  in my next  posts. Wish you a blessed day with thanks.

Note: Drink  a glass of warm water before breakfast and after breakfast.
