New Investment

Segui o conselho da Camila e investi hoje num liquidificador de qualidade.  Ela tinha razão em comprar um de vidro pois o de plástico fica todo riscado quando se bate fruta congelada ou gelo, como também não se deve deixar o shake dentro por muito tempo senão ele acaba ficando com o gosto do mesmo.  Então o de vidro era the way to go.


The Bad Boy:




Consumidor Feliz




Hoje a noite também organizei um espaço filé para deixar alguns dos ingredientes do shake:

L-Glutamine, moedor de café, pó mágico® "produtos Kamili" (quinoa com fibra de maracujá), whey protein de chocolate (ontém comprei um whey protein de quase 3 quilos e tive que dividir em algúns tupperwares diferentes pois estava muito grande) e mistura de linhaça e linhaça dourada.



Hasta la próxima :)

Frozen Fruit Protein Shake Part Zwei

Today was a very busy day, it was my first day back to work since the return from my very relaxing vacation home in Brazil.  After work it was off to the organic food store with Sonia to buy some fresh fruits and veggies.  Straight after that we headed off to Antonio´s house (her spanish cousin who is moving back to Spain) where he gave us his old couch.  So it was a big mission to transport the couch down the steps from his apartment, and up to our apartment (we live in the 6th floor, and the elevator is way too small for a three piece couch!!).  Once this was done we cooked some food for us three (Chicken breast, Chanterelle mushrooms and Cous Cous ).  In between the cooking I managed to do the frozen fruit packages that my sister had done before.  Her blog post motivated me a lot into doing my packages as soon as possible. Hopefully it will indeed make things easier when preparing my shakes.  We will see in the morning.

Presentation :)
Cooking some food while dicing some fresh fruits and enjoying a very nice port wine from year 2000



Close up:
Blueberries, Carrots, Kiwis, Raspberries, Currant Berries (I have yet to find currant in other countries rather than Austria) and Bananas.  Anyways, I try to include as many berries as possible because of their very beneficial anti-oxidants.



Packing:
Great idea that mommy came up with

My Little Helper :)
My hard little worker helped me all day, with fruit shopping, sofa carrying, cooking the food and preparing my packages.  A great companion!!


Please excuse the quality of the pics, they were taken with my cell phone tonight and its already late (no good light in the apartment).  I will post a non-health pic tomorrow of our new couch when we have some sunlight in here.  Take care and enjoy the shakes :)

Frozen Fruit Protein Shake

Olá!!


While trying to maintain a practical, easy and doable diet, Vitor came up with a great idea.

Preparation is the key and following Vi's recommendation I selected, washed, diced and bagged up small portions of mixed fruit today.


Check out the pics!

Close up:

Strawberries, carrots, apples, papayas, bananas, beets and pineapple!

I'm sure it´s gonna be a whole lot easier to prepare my daily protein shakes. All I'll need to do is grab a frozen portion from the freezer and blend it with water, protein, flaxseed and so on!





Bottoms Up!

Primeiro de muitos tips


To vendo que o começo vai ser
difícil..rsrsrs. Vai rolar pizza em casa!! To indo andar de bike para o estrago não ser tão trágico.


First tip:


When baking...you can substitute butter or egg with ground flaxseed, for example:

1 tbsp butter = 3 tbsp. ground flaxseed
1 egg = 2 tbs flax + 3 tbs water

This will make cookies, muffins etc. much healthier, just substitute the ground flaxseed proportions above when the recipe asks for butter or egg.
