SUP II

After the first Stand Up Paddling trip I was already excited about the sport. It's a great workout, relaxing at the same time. So I went again a while ago, this time we took another shorter route because storm was coming. In the end we created a campfire and enjoyed the drinks and snacks they brought for us. I'm happy that Nikano organizes these trips in my hometown!

(Unfortunately I don't have pictures of the part were we're all trying to hide underneath the table, trees and SUP boards for the rain haha)

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!

SUP trip

Yesterday evening my boyfriend and I went on a SUP - Stand Up Paddling trip in our hometown. We live near the 'Nieuwkoopse Plassen' (lake area), perfect for sailing, swimming, canoeing etc. part of it is protected area.

I'll definitely want to do this again! Loved being outside, surrounded by silence and beautiful nature and it's a great workout! :)

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.
