greens are important and one of the easiest ways to make sure you eat enough of them, is to simply add them to your fruit smoothie: cucumber, lettuce, spinach and co. won’t taste half as bad in combination with banana, apple, oranges, or any of your favourite fruits

CHIA PUDDING

chia-pudding is such a quick, easy & healthy snack or breakfast option: simply stir 3 tbsp chia seeds into a glass of milk (any kind works fine, I prefer almond milk), add some agave syrup/honey to sweeten and set in the fridge for at least a couple of hours or over night – the seeds will absorb the milk and get a gel-like consistency, making the whole mix similar to a pudding

chia seeds have a lot of health benefits such as: many nutrients – little calories, high in antioxidants, almost all carbs they contain are fiber (which makes them a low-carb food, since fiber doesn’t raise the blood sugar & therefore, doesn’t require insulin), high in quality protein & omega-3 fatty acids – and since they basically taste like nothing, it’s super easy to incorporate them into your diet

it’s always a great idea to combine chia-pudding with smoothies, muesli, oats or different fruits .. really, anything you like will taste amazing together with chia-pudding

BANANA-AVOCADO-MOUSSE 

img_2375

so simple, so delicious: mix one banana with one avocado, add maca, matcha, curcuma, cinnamon, etc. to taste, and you’re done! (don’t worry, you won’t taste the avocado in a negative way, it merely gives the whole mix its creamy texture and of course the colour)

you can also add chia seeds to the mix, which will make it even creamier
