Dinner with friends

Had a yummy meal after a day at the IJhallen flee market with my friends Lesley and Rowan!

Healthy snack time

What you need: 
- whole-wheat egg cake
- strawberries
- whipped cream
- a little bit of powdered sugar
- fresh mint

Perfect snack and a healthier choice. I think the image says it all... YUM!

Picnic

Wednesday I had a day off work and I went to Amsterdam with Jessica for a picnic at the park. We brought nice and jummy food, Jessica made banana/oatmeal cookies with walnuts and some pure chocolate (easy & healthy!). After that we went for a little bit of shopping (didn't buy anything, applause for me!)

Study-food

When you're working hard, don't forget to treat yourself with nice & healthy foods! Love to have a big lunch and actually enjoy it, instead of eating my bread during lessons at school. Taking breaks helps me to concentrate better!

Happy easter

I have no idea what this is called in english! It's got a sort of cake structure with a sweet taste and it's made of eggs. + dried apricots: very iron-rich!

Dinner

And again, a not very photogenic meal: broccoli with potato croquettes and pork meat in mushroom sauce. The potato croquettes are fried in our air fryer (tip) so we don't have to use frying oil > healthier!

Late night snack

I am watching super exciting series and I totally forget about the time. Suddenly my stomach reminds me that it's 22.30 and I slightly get feelings of hunger. I know it's not very good to eat late, but I can't resist green tea with biscuits.

My food diary

Since half a year I am am keeping up a food diary. Writing it all down definitely helps you to be more aware of how healthy you eat. I decided to take pictures of the meals I eat for a whole week and put them here. (After I shot the first day I realized that my dinners at not very photogenic)

>> Day 1

Breakfast
I always start the day with a good breakfast, I never skip it because I think it's the most important meal of the day. Helps me to wake up, gives energy and I'm pretty much always hungry when I wake up.. I eat biologic muesli with oatmeal, raisins, extra linseed and bran, a few unsalted nuts and low fat yoghurt. I drink two cups of green tea.

Lunch
At home we bake our own bread. Sometimes we add some nice herbs or nuts and raisins. It's very good with marmalade (the one in the picture is made of pineapple & pear). I also drink a glass of soy milk and I eat a kiwi for the vitamins.

Snack
In the afternoon I met up with a friend in Utrecht and we drink a cup of tea with a piece of french apple almond pie, hmmm!

Dinner
For dinner we my mom cooked tagliatelle with some spinach, italian vegetable mix and shrimps. One of my favorites!
