Superfood/ Vegan bowl - don't throw away your leftovers!

This bowl is super easy and clean for the ones who want to try something filling and healthy to boost both your skin and metabolism for the fall season. It takes literally 10 min to prepare it.
A lot of people are getting sick this time of year. I try to eat extra Vit C and stay warm. Its always hard to dress in Norway when it is freezing while you go to work in the mooring, but gets so much warmer during the day. The skin too can easily get dry and needs some extra care this time of year. I'm not a doctor, but from my own experience, it is true when people say ¨you are what you eat¨. At least for me, if I eat sugar every day for a week I can tell on the skin, but again we all have different genes. 

Bowls are quick and easy to prepare, and you can add anything you have leftover in your fridge. This bowl was made of what I had leftover from the day before. Some leftover kale, avocado, cucumber. red pepper and lentils. I always have avocado and pesto in my fridge, as I use these two ingredients for almost every meal. I eat one avocado a day. that's probably one of my best beauty secrets to avoid dry skin. This is perfect as a lunch box too. If you want some extra protein you can add some tuna, cottage cheese, eggs, tofu, or chicken to make it just the way you like it.

What you need

1 Handful of kale
1/2 box on lentils
1/2 avocado
1/2 pepper
1/3 cucumber
Olive oil
Sea salt
Pesto
Seeds

What you do

Chop the kale and start heating it on low heat with some olive oil and salt. Chop the pepper, cucumber, and avocado and drain the lentils. 
When the kale gets soft, have it over in a bowl, and add all the veggies. Top the bowl with some seeds. 
I used pumpkin and sunflower seeds on mine. In the end, add some pesto and a little olive oil. 

Voila! I hope you got inspired to try a vegan lunch bowl, remember you can always mix and match your bowl with other ingredients. Roasted beets or sweet potatoes are also a great source of vitamins C and slow carbohydrates! I will probably try with some roasted root veggies for my next superfood bowl.

Super easy sides for the BBQ din-din

I wish the bbq season was all year around. Everyone gets together and bring all kind of different goodies to throw on the grill. It feels like almost everything tastes better grilled. I'm obsessed with Norwegian hot dogs, probably because they remind me of childhood and summer. I always try to add some healthy sides to my plate, creativity has no limits in the game of BBQing! Who doesn't love colorful, pretty plates? Here are some super easy sides that will impress your guests for the next get together. These sides work perfectly with any grilled from the grill. 

Tomato Mozarella salad - with a summer touch

-This super easy salad only contains 4 ingredients only

1 pack with Strawberries - preferably Norwegian ones
2 packs of mini tomatoes
1 large mozarella cheese/ burrata cheese
1 handful of fresh balsamic vinegar
pinch of sea salt

Cut all the ingredients into smaller pieces and mix together. The cheese makes the salad kinda creamy, so you don’t need to add lots of extra oil. I prefer this salad with some sea salt and an aged balsamic vinegar.

Grilled filled peppers

4 large peppers
3 cloves of garlic
tomatoes
basil

Cut each pepper in two pieces, and remove the seeds from the inside

Chop the garlic pieces, some mini tomatoes, and some basil and add it to the peppers. I usually use aluminum foil to avoid making a mess with food getting stuck to the grill. In the end, add some olive oil and some sea salt. 

Leave on the grill until the peppers are golden and ready to dig in. 

I hope you like it.

Choco Loco bowl

Typically I can eat the same thing for breakfast for a few months before I switch it up. During winter time I like something warm like oatmeal and during warm summer days, I usually like making a smoothie or a bowl for breakfast. I like to experiment with new ingredients and this summer I have been addicted to this bowl of happiness.




You need

raw cacao powder
coconut milk
greek yoghurt
honey
pinch of salt
seeds
berries


You do

Start with draining a can of coconut milk, and leave the full-fat part in a bowl. Add three tablespoons of greek yogurt or another yogurt. You can also use coconut or almond yogurt if you want a vegan option. Mix well and add one tablespoon of raw cacao and one tbs of honey, or another sweetener. If you like a darker chocolate flavor, you can add some extra cacao powder.

At the end add a pinch of salt. Top your bowl with some crunchy granola, nuts or seeds. I topped mine with sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, and some fresh raspberries.


Hope you like it, and get inspired to try something new. Im enjoying the last week of vacay in South Norway. <3
