Busy Life

Hello!

Already Friday! The days just fly by when you have plenty to do! :D
I've tried to study as much as possible in addition to attending the classes at school during this week. Next week I'll start in my new job and have classes during evenings. The week after next one will be the exam week and for working the days and attending on the classes the evenings and having to take care of all the assignments to pass the courses I won't have much time for preparing to the exams I'll have. Two very busy weeks ahead and then finally it will be the summer break at school and I'll have just the work and rest of the time I can actually do what I want to :D

It was a stunning sunset tonight! 😍

When there's a lot going on in life we might easily get tired or stressed. So will our skin, if we are exposed to stress too long time, sleep too little, eat irregularly, make poor nutritional choices, drink too little water etc... I guess everyone who's even a little bit interested in taking good care of her (or his!) skin knows what's bad for our skin but not necessarily how to treat the mixed, oily, dry, tight or dull skin and what kind of products are good for it.
I'm not a cosmetologist, but I actually do have a degree of  make up artist & stylist. As I mentioned in my very first blog post in English, I've always been interested in cosmetics and skincare and thus I've educated myself a bit further into the world skincare products as well.

 I also mentioned in my first post that I've fallen in love especially with the products of Forever Living company. Why are these ones so superior then? Take any body or face lotion or skin care product you use: Dior, Lancôme, YSL, Lauder, Chanel, Lorèal, Nivea...Anything! And check out the ingredient list, I bet the first word on the list is aqua. Mostly all the cosmetics of the world is based on water and I'm not saying all of those products are lousy or bad, NO! Not at all necessarily, but water based cosmetics always treats only the outermost layer of our skin. Forever's cosmetics is based on aloe vera gel, prepared from hand picked organically and ecologically grown aloe vera. The gel is made with Forever's unique stabilization method keeping it as fresh and flawless as possible.
 What makes aloe special in skincare is that aloe's molecules will pass your skin layers and will be effective on the outermost layer of our skin and also deep inside our skin! Forever's products are also very affordable, considering they are luxurious quality and majority of the products are made to be suitable to all of the skin types. Ofc there are some products custom made for oily or especially dry skin as well! (:

No matter what your skin type is, it needs exfoliating for couple of times a week, if you wish to maintain an even skin tone, want the skin treatments you use to work effectively and the make up to be easy to apply and spread evenly on your skin. After exfoliating the dead cells of the outermost layer of your skin the skin gets refreshed, it breathes, feels even and also all the treatments and lotions, serums etc will absorb much better into your skin and work effectively on the "living" skin since the dead cells don't block their way. Each skin type will get better with regular exfoliating if you use a gentle and effective scrub.

The affordable (in Europe around 20€) and effective, but gentle Forever's aloe scrub is my favorite. Jojoba microspheres exfoliate the skin and moisturize it effectively with aloe vera simultaneously. Just wash the face with water, dry it a bit with a towel and apply the scrub all over your face except around the eyes. Keep rubbing until the scrub forms white dots on your skin. The white dots are your dead skin cells the scrub has gotten off your skin. Rinse off with comfortably warm water and feel the refreshment that you achieved with the effort of about 3-minutes! (Ps. You can use this for the whole body as well!)

After the scrub apply a treatment product, which is suitable for your skin type and your skin feels great! (: If you haven't tried this before I'm warmly recommending to give it a try!

I'm going to take my make up off and do a scrub with this right now. It's getting late here in Finland and it's soon the bed time! Now it's time for me and my skin to relax.

~Happy weekend to everyone!~

Turning over a new leaf!

Hello!

Long time, no post! :D

Spring is finally here! Although we still have much colder weather than we normally should. We had one day + 17'Cs, then the next + 11'Cs and now for this week the weather forecast tells the temperature is about to stay below + 10 'Cs mostly for the whole week and there will even be a little frost on some nights! :/ (which is unusual on MAY in Southern-Finland!).

A lot has happened during this week I haven't written a post. As confusing it was at the moment of receiving that phone call...it's still amazing and confusing me! :D
I actually got the job I went for a job interview 1,5-weeks ago. I won of 6 applicants who were interviewed for the job. I didn't believe I would be the one to get the job by the experience I have gotten of applying for a job during this one year I've been officially unemployed. The job I got is a part time job and nothing special, but it's a beginning and I'm seeing it as a great opportunity! I'm so happy and relieved I'm no longer unemployed and it's a big company I'm going to work at. If everything goes well (And I'm for sure going to do my best to excel in the job!) my one year contract might even continue and I guess there are possibilities to proceed forward into a better position eventually. Let's see! At least I will have excellent opportunities of networking with people in the big community. Most importantly now I really can turn  over a new leaf in my life officially! I finally got a job in business and no going back to miscellaneous kitchen and restaurant gigs anymore!

Another big thing currently is that my own old computer eventually broke down for good and for a while I didn't have a computer at all, so that's also why I haven't written a post. Now I have a laptop my friend lent me until my new computer which arrived me inoperative (after waiting for it for almost a month!) will come back from the overhaul and they have hopefully fixed it, so I'll finally have my new computer I've now waited for over a month.

It's been quite busy with school. Plenty of assignments for the end of the courses is approaching and classes 4-evenings a week. The computer mess has caused some stress and a lot of work during the past week. I wouldn't have believed I'll ever do dumpster diving, but apparently anything can happen. xD :D When the new computer components finally came on last Tuesday we unpacked it all immediately and took the card board boxes and the cushions to the dumpster for living in a small apartment and we thought that we won't need those...but the next day when the computer was gathered ready of the components, everything was set and it was time to install the operating system it appeared that we can't make the computer functioning and we must send it to the overhaul via post. 😞 So I had to go dumpster diving to find the card board boxes we threw away. Had to pack the damn thing again, buy some cushions and take it to the post office. Hopefully it's not going to take another 3,5 weeks until I'll have it back and it's actually operational.
The weekend was spent in the company of friends and the loved ones and I studied a lot!

Now it's a new week and this one started with a delicious chocolate smoothie! 😋

Chocolate smoothie

For this goodness packed with super good nutritional value you'll need for a portion of little under one liter:

• 2-bananas
• 2-apples
• 1-orange, squeezed
• 1,5 dl (0,75 cups) frozen raspberries
• 1,5 dl (0,75 cups) frozen mango cubes
• about 5 tablespoons of raw cacao powder
• avocado
• plant based protein powder & ice cubes

Did you know that about 10% of the weight of raw cacao powder is antioxidants?
The cacao beans are full of antioxidants, good fat, carbohydrates, protein, minerals like calcium, magnesium, sulfur, copper, iron, zinc and potassium. There is also oleic acid which is a heart-healthy essential monounsaturated fat, fiber and vitamins E, B2, B1, B5, B3 and B9.

Cacao beans have very high nutritional value and many nutrients that can offer multiple health benefits to us.

Some of these nutrients unfortunately get reduced or even destroyed when they undergo heating process and are combined with milk and sugar to make chocolate. Hence, eating raw, unprocessed cacao beans (ergo raw unprocessed cacao powder, or cacao nibs) offer the best nutritional value and health benefits of the cacao beans combined with the delicious taste of chocolate! There are many ways of using raw cacao powder in raw delicacies and one very practical and easy way is to make a smoothie containing raw cacao powder. (: If you like chocolate, you'll love that smoothie recipe! In addition to benefits of raw cacao there are plenty of nutrients in the berries, fruits and avocado as well and a protein powder is an easy way to add some protein as well into a smoothie!

Today for it's Monday and a new week I'll do some skincare! The next post will be about my today's skin treatment (: 

Now it's time for me to eat something and get ready for school!

~Have a nice week!~

Meatballs!

Hi everyone!

Luckily our weather in Finland got a little better for the May Day celebration!
In Finland the last day April is a celebration day since the offices and shops are mostly closed on the first of May and most of the people of Finland celebrate the May Day (we call it Vappu) as the fete of the labor forces...And it's also sort of the celebration of the spring finally arriving to this damn cold northern country. :D
During the May Day celebration we spend time with the family, friends and the loved ones, unwind! Even perhaps take a little bit of sparkling wine or champagne as well. :)

Unfortunately the weather is still damn cold compared to what it should be at this time of the year usually. Maybe at some point of May we will finally have those beautiful light green new leaves on the trees everywhere, the green grass and the blossoming of everything!

To me that moment of the year is absolutely my favorite for it's just something magical when suddenly there is so much sunshine, it's light almost around the clock it's warm out there and everything awakens after the long cold dark and grey wintertime.

On Sunday I made us (me and my love) some meatballs, sweet potato wedges, a spicy salsa and a fresh and crunchy salad. All grain free, also dairy free actually and this portion is containing a good amount of nutrition!

Meatballs, sweet potato wedges, spicy salsa & crunchy salad

You'll need for 2-3 portions:

• low fat minced meat 400 g
• one onion
• two large eggs

• two sweet potatoes
• olive oil
• salt & pepper
• white wine winegar

• one mild fresh chili/some conserved jalapeños
• a big clove of garlic
• fresh basil
• tomatoes/cherry tomatoes about 500 g
• about 100 g tomato puree 
• 1,5dl (0,75 cups) sweet chili sauce

• a few leaves of some crunchy salad
• about 100 g corn
• about 70 g kidney beans
• some scallion
• one stem of celery
• about 100 g cucumber

as spices for meatballs for example: mustard U like, honey, salt, black pepper, white pepper, paprika powder, chive and little chili powder.

Preparation (takes about 45-minutes)

1. Begin with the meatballs. Put the minced meat into a spacious bowl, break two eggs into it, dice the onion into small dices and toss it into the bowl. Put there about 3-tablespoons of mustard and 1,5 tablespoons of honey. Add the amounts you like the rest of the spices to bowl (it doesn't have to be exactly those spices, use what U like! That's just what I put there this time :)) Mix well and leave the meatball "dough" for a while 

2. Heat the oven to about 180 C's. Peel the sweet potatoes and chop 'em into wedges. Put the wedges into a bowl. Drop some olive oil into the bowl, a little white wine vinegar, some salt and pepper. Mix well and check the taste!

3. Now make the meatballs ready into the baking trey with high sides and put the sweet potato wedges sparsely into another baking tray. Put both into the oven!

4. The meatballs and the sweet potato wedges cook about 25-minutes n now U have time to make the salsa & the salad! Chop tomatoes or cherry tomatoes into small dices, until U have about 4 dl's (2 cups) of diced tomatoes. Place the dices into a bowl. Put into the same bowl the tomato puree, sweet chili sauce and chop the garlic clove n some fresh basil into the bowl. If you don't want this to be very hot, use the mild chili n mostly remove the seeds of it. If you like spicy and hot, chop a few conserved jalapeño pieces into the salsa, or leave the seeds mostly on to the chili, when U chop it into the salsa. Add a pinch of salt, mix well and check the taste! Add spices or alter the amount of components, if needed.

The salsa goes great with any meat or barbecued treats!
You can also replace the basil with fresh cilantro, or add some fresh paprika into the salsa

-Check if the meatballs are already cooked, when they have been in the oven for about 20-minutes! The meatballs will get dry, if they are overcooked. If the meatballs are already done take 'em out, but leave the sweet potatoes to the oven still for a while, when you prepare the salad. (If the meatballs are not yet done, or if the sweet potatoes and the meatballs seem ready, just turn off the oven n leave both there during making the salad!)

5. Chop about 4-leaves of some crunchy salad into a colander, chop the cucumber into dices, celery & scallion into thin slices and toss all into the colander. Rinse and trickle the salad. Put into a salad bowl. Defrost some corn in the colander under warm water (that won't take long and the corn stays juicy!). Add the corn and the beans into the salad.

~Everything is ready!~

ps. As always all the amounts are approximately, since my cooking works quite a lot based on experience and instinct so I rarely measure anything.  

Cooking rarely is an exact science! ;) 

I'm always doing my best to give as comprehensible and easy to follow instructions as possible, but if there is something U don't understand, can't figure out or want to know more, just ask me! (:

Now it's the bedtime for me!

~Good night to U, or what ever time it's for U~

Kale recipes!

Hello!

What a weather we have here in Finland today! 😩😊
Back at home, wearing warm comfortable clothes and drinking hot tea. Having my favorite face mask on, moisturizing, deep cleansing, toning and balancing Marine mask of Forever Living Products working on my skin.
Time to relax after gym! It's been a hideous sleet storm out there for the most of the day and I've been home studying, doing household chores and ran some errands before going to gym. I only walked from door to car and back and from car to gym and back + ofc had to clean the car of that heavy wet icy sleet layer before driving. I simply hated every second of being out there. :D :'D
For those lucky ones of you, who don't know what sleet is, it's wet and icy mixture of snow and rain. Happens when the temperature is around zero, but almost below it. Combined with the wet n icy rain mercilessly coming straight at your face even when wearing a hood there was a freezing stormy wind and the streets were wet n full of sleet all over. Luckily I'm back indoors! :D

Yesterday was almost all about fun! I studied a little, spent time with a good friend of mine, visited my mother and enjoyed the good weather among the beautiful nature of Mustola (a suburban area of my town, where my mother lives.)

A few days ago I bought some kale.
We all know it's nutritionally almost super food. Nevertheless at least to my foodie taste buds the bare kale tastes simply awful. Good news is that you can create tasty combinations including kale and all it's vitamins n nutrients! I'm about to share a Chicken - goat cheese salad recipe I created and enjoyed yesterday with my friend as dinner.

Chicken-goat cheese salad

 You'll need:

• kale
• cabbage
• scallion
• romaine/cosmopolitan salad
• red/yellow paprika
• sun-dried tomatoes
• celery
• kidney beans
• zucchini
• avocado
• chicken
• goat cheese

The amounts I'm putting into this example are approximately for I did't weight or measure anything, but this recipe will make a small salad bowl. You can ofc make as big portion as you need or want to have! Preparing this takes only about 15-minutes.

Chop into a big colander two middle sized kale leaves (remember to remove the stem of the kale!), three leaves of crunchy salad and a small piece of cabbage, about 70 grams. Dice half of a paprika, chop one stem of celery (the celery into thin slices!), little scallion and dice about 1/3 of a small zucchini into to the colander as well. Rinse the the chopped veggies in the colander and let 'em trickle. Pour everything into a salad bowl.

Dice about 10 pieces of sun-dried tomatoes and toss 'em into the salad. Toss in also about a handful of cooked kidney beans. Mix the salad well!

Fry & spice up some chicken (as much as needed). Take some salad on the plate, carve a little avocado onto the top of the portion and serve the salad with fried chicken and a little goat cheese!
I also added a few fresh basil leaves. (: We enjoyed this quite a lot with my friend 😋

This morning I created a healthy and nutrition packed smoothie blend including kale.
This one is creamy for including avocado, but simultaneously very fresh!

Blueberry-kale smoothie

• two bananas
• two apples
• a piece of fresh ginger (about 2cm's x 1cm)
• 2-leaves of kale (stem emoved)
• 2 dl's frozen blueberries 
• 1 avocado
• 1,5 dl's frozen mango cubes
• a few ice cubes
• plant based protein powder

(1dl is about half a cup! :)

Put everything into a blender and blend! This will make little under one liter of ready smoothie. You can adapt the recipe suitable to your need (:

~That would be all this time~

Hopefully everyone is having a fantastic weekend!

An extraordinary day

Hello!

"I know you just can't stand it
If things don't go your way...
But we've got no control over what happens anyway
If it's gonna be a rainy day
There's nothing we can do to make it change
We can pray for sunny weather
But that won't stop the rain..."♫♩♪ -James Morrison's -Please don't stop the rain

If we leave out the love affair part the song is also about I'm feeling pretty much exactly the lyrics of this track once again. I had quite an extraordinary day. I was in a job interview! In a real job interview for once (not in some cursed video interview or via over the phone). It's not a secret I'm officially unemployed. I'm studying and doing some job gigs via agency working but since it's not full time studying and I don't have any actual job, my official status is unemployed.

I started attending these language and psychology courses that I'm doing for it started seeming I'm not about to get a job in business for I applied almost half a year without getting anywhere after my graduation into a business degree. Now it's been about a year since my graduation and I've sent over 50-job applications to different jobs in business without any luck n I've gotten into a job interview of any kind just a few times.

In Finland we currently based on statistics have about 332 000 unemployed people and less than 100 000 situations vacant, of which on most jobs there are so little working hours offered that one couldn't make a living with the income the job would earn you. 

In reality there are plenty of more unemployed people than 332 000 since hundreds of people are forced to go to work for free for months to a "training" and to show their skills to the employers after being unemployed for a certain period of time. During those training periods their status is statistically not unemployed. That's so even they neither don't actually earn anything with their working, no matter how well they perform, nor actually get employed after this training period in the most of the cases. The companies will easily get a new slave to work for free who will excel in the job in hopes of actually getting hired...

Even I finally for once in a blue moon achieved a seat at the table face to face with the recruiter and everything went well it's a long long shot that I'll actually get hired. It was a group interview and there were 2-others with me in the room who were just as competent for the job and we were told that there will be also another group interview of 3-people. We were also told that the company might hire into this open permanent job of over 20hrs/week someone who's already working inside the company, if someone of them is willing to take that position (which is very likely). If that happens there would be an open position of 20 hours/week for some months.

So practically that 20hrs/week job would be then what I'm actually competing for against those 5-others, chosen to the interview, all competent for the job and picked up from among hundreds of job applications the companies offering a job always receive when there's an open position into any paying job. I have a little under 17% chance to be chosen to that job of 20hrs/week for couple of months :D Hurray! xD
After doing the math the glimpse of hope for a decent job was gone and I once again was forced to think that I'm again back to square one. Send another ten applications and wish to get even a reply of some kind.

I can't help it, but momentarily feel slightly hopeless about my own life situation for I'd really just want to have a job and finally start earning some money after the years of being a student and unemployed. It's been now almost 3-years since I left the job in the kitchen that I never wanted even to begin with, but had to take. Still I don't regret I left the career in kitchen, because I just know I want to be a business woman. Maybe somehow, someday I will actually be one.

"You see live is a crazy thing There'll be good time and there'll be bad times
And everything in between
And I don't know which way it's gonna go
...
If it's gonna be a rainy day
There's nothing we can do to make it change
We can pray for sunny weather
But that won't stop the rain..."♬♪♩

I like to listen to this song of Morrison's every now and then, when I'm feeling the worst moments of frustration. Sometimes things just don't work out the way we hope for and that's even if we give our everything to achieve our goals and dreams. 

What's comforting me though is that even we can't stop the rain...the beautiful rainbows can appear only after the rain and at some point the clouds always disappear. 

Besides, how could we be able to appreciate the blue sky and sunshine without feeling and knowing the storm and rain?

That's all I've got to say this time. Thank you for reading! 

In the next post of mine I'll be sharing some delicious recipes!

~Good night to U, or what ever time it's for U~

Blogging in English!

Hello everyone!

I made the decision to write this blog in English from now on. I'll keep my former posts, (which are in Finnish), in the blog archives! Posts ahead will be in English. :)

In this blog I'm wishing to share some inspiration for wellbeing via nutritional and healthy food and high quality cosmetics n dietary supplements that I love!
I don't follow any specific diet myself or have any food allergies. I do eat grain products of high nutritional quality but I do cook plenty of paleo style food, sometimes vegetarian/vegan recipes and mostly always gluten free (except the pasta days ;P ;D). Often my dishes might be dairy free n even grain free as well, so if you are following for instance paleo style diet, are coeliac or follow dairyfree diet you might find here some recipes you'll like.

I'm a psychology student and I like to ponder stuff, so I'll most probably write of my random thoughts as well occasionally! :D In addition to being a foodie, loving photography, nature and all the things beautiful I've always had a strong interest towards cosmetics and I've grown a strong interest especially in the very high quality products of Forerever Living company. I'm actually planning to start a career in Forever at the end of this year and wishing it woud be my full time employment at some point, for this company and its products give me wellbeing and inspiration that I want to take forward and share with people!
I'll be writing of Forever's cosmetics and dietary supplements for these products play a major role in my everyday life and also some random cosmetics stuff momentarily. Main focus will be on food and the thoughts n life in general :D

I'll share as my first recipes in English the today's breakfast!

There's a veggie-cheese frittata and a fruity strawberry smoothie! This whole breakfast is packed with nutrition, vegetarian friendly, tasty and easy to make! (:

For veggie-cheese frittata you'll need:

• Vegetables, that you like
• seeds
• eggs
• some aromatic cheese U like

In mine I had this morning some scallion, red paprika, zucchini, celery, tomatoes, black olives n cheese.

Preparation of frittata for 2:

Turn on the oven with 200'Cs. Heat a frying pan with oil. Chop into small dices some paprika, scallion (or onion), celery, zucchini or other veggies. Quickly sauteè the veggies on the frying pan and then pour over the veggies 6-7 egss, thus that the veggies stay under the eggs. Take the pan off the stove, mix the frittata a lil bit. Slice some tomatoes and throw on the top with some sunfower seeds and pumpkin seeds + some sliced olives. Grate a lil cheese on the top of the frittata! (Also using blue cheese or goat cheese would work great!) Cook in the oven for about 10-minutes. Enjoy!

Meanwhile the frittata is cooking in the oven you can prepare the smoothie! With these amounts of igredients you'll have about 4x 3dl of smoothie n you can ofc prepare also a smaller amount of smoothie (: This one is is fresh n fruity...Kind of reminds me of summer! :D

Fruity strawberry-smoothie

• 2-bananas
• 2-apples
• 1,5 dl frozen mango cubes
• 1,5 dl frozen strawberries
• 1-lime squeezed
• 1,5 dl chopped pineapple
• 0,5 dl frozen sea buckthorn berries
• + ice cubes and plant based protein powder 

Put the ingredients into a powerful blender n blend the smoothie!

That's it for this time! 

Ps. English is a foreign language to me and I'm doing my best to create as clear n comprehensible texts as possible...But just ask me if you're wondering something or can't figure what I mean! I'd also love to hear about your thoughts overall and what do U think! Be free to leave a comment or some feedback on instagram!

~Happy Tuesday to everyone!~

Muutoksen tuulia?

Hei!

Viikko hujahti ja sen aikana tuli sairasteltua pahin flunssa pitkään aikaan.
Olisi ollut kyllä aikaa kirjoitella, koska en voinut koko viikkoon mennä edes kouluun, mutta kärsin motivoitumisvaikeuksista.
Tykkään toisaalta kirjottaa tosi paljon, mutta tykkäisin kuitenkin myös, että tuntuisi näiden tekstien olevan jollain tasolla kiinnostavia ja hyödyllisiä kanssaihmisille. Reseptiohjeiden koostaminen tuntuu turhalta, jos ohjeet ei juurikaan herätä mielenkiintoa ihmisissä, tai ei saa minkäänlaista palautetta että olisi kiva kokeilla tätä itse tms.

Käviöitä olen tänne saanut ihan kohtuu hyvin, etenkin kun otetaan huomioon kohtalaisen verkkainen julkaisutahti, joka on nyt ollut sen 1-2 postausta/viikko. Kävijöistä iso osa kuitenkin ohjautuu tälle saitille miun instagrammin kautta ja näistä ihmisistä valtaosa ei osaa suomea, joten se jää kurkistukseksi ja tekstit lukematta.
Täten olen alkanut miettiä, vaihtaisinko kielen englanniksi, koska pystyn ihan sujuvasti kirjoittamaan myös englanninkielisiä tekstejä ja se laajentaisi miun yleisöä aika paljon.
Tykkäisin ehkä kyllä kirjoittaa enenmmänkin, jos vaan tulisi jonkinlaista vastakaikua ja reagointia, mutta monologi näppäimistön kanssa tuntuu hetkittäin "turhalta".
Mie kirjotan siitä, mistä itse aidosti olen innoissani, olen todennut olevan hyvää ja uskon sen olevan hyvää myös muille, sekä näen vaivaa ja käytän aikaa tarjotakseni oman inspiraationi resepteissä mahdollisimman helposti jäljiteltävään muotoon, kuin myös haluan herättää ajatuksia ja jakaa oivalluksia, mutta jos tulee fiilis, että ei inspiroi oikein ketään, alkaa miettiä, miten saisi nämä aattehet ja kokemukset laajemman yleisön tietoisuuteen.
Siten voisi ehkä jotain tarjota toisille ihmisille, joita kiehtoo samanlaiset asiat. Jotain hyödyllistä, kivaa ja antoisaa jaettavaksi sekalaisten mietteiden ohella. Sitä varten mie tän aloitin, en harrastaakseni yksinpuhelua :D.

Katsotaan, mihin ratkaisuun päädyn. Mikäli vastalauseita ei kummemmin ilmene, tai mitään palautetta edelleenkään, voi olla että muutan blogin nimen, sekä alan jatkossa tehdä postaukset englanniksi. Säilytän tietenkin vanhat jo tehdyt jutut ja täältä ne sitten löytyy jos näin käypi!

Se siitä. Flunssan aikana tuli tosiaan nautiskeltua paljon tuoretta inkivääriä, kuin myös valkosipulia ja näitä sisältäviä ruokia. Jaan tähän loppuun reseptin kevyeeseen ja raikkaaseen Lime-korianteri lohikeittoon ja ravitsemuksellisesti melkeinpä superfood tasoiseen smoothieen, jossa on täyteläisyyttä avocadosta ja ihanan raikas marjainen maku. (:

Lime-korianteri lohikeitto 4:lle
n.30 min

• lohifilee (tai valmiita lohikuutioita n.700g)
• pieni fenkoli/puolikas suuri fenkoli
• keskikokoinen bataatti
• iso sipuli
• paketti tuoreita haricot papuja (150g)
• mukulaselleriä n. 100g
• nippu korianteria
• 2-limettiä
• muutama vs-kynsi

1. Laita n. 8l kattila suunnilleen puolilleen kuumaa vettä lämpiämään levylle. Laita liemen joukkoon kalaliemikuutio, reilu ripsaus currya ja purista kokonaan toinen limeteistä liemen joukkoon. + lisää hieman hunajaa, tai tummaa siirappia.

2. Kuori ja pilko sipuli, fenkoli, selleri ja bataatti, sekä heitä soppaliemeen. Anna näiden kiehua n. 15min. Huuhtele haricot pavut siivilässä, pätki ne 4-osaan ja heitä joukkoon. Hienonna korianteri ja heitä siitä lähes kaikki liemen joukkoon. Kuori ja siivuta vs.kynnet, lisää myös ne liemeen. 

3. Siivoa lohifilee ja kuutioi kala, jos et käytä valmiita kuutioita. Haricot papujen kypsyttyä n. 5-min lisää kala keittoon. Tarkasta maku ja lisää tarvittaessa limettiä, sekä muita mausteita. Leikkaa limetistä lohkoja ja nappaa annoksen päälle lautaselle vielä lohko limettiä ja ripottele tuoretta korianteria keiton päälle hieman. Purista limen mehu keiton päälle juuri, ennen syömistä,

Mustaherukka-vadelma smoothie

Tarjoiluehdotus samassa xD :D

Maistuu erinomaisesti aamiaisella vaikka jogurttikulhon ja munakokkelin kera, välipalana tai miksei vaikka iltapalanakin!

• 2-banaania
• 1-avocado
• 2-omenaa
• n. 1,5dl mustaherukoita
• n.1,5dl vadelmia
• 1 dl mangokuutioita
• reilu pala tuoretta inkivääriä (n. 2cm x 2cm)
• jäitä + proteiinijauhetta

Tästä ohjeesta tulee reilu satsi ja voi tehdä pienemmänkin annoksen tietty! (:

~Mukavaa viikkoa kaikille!~
