Healthy food day - WIAW

Here comes all what I ate Wednesday. I hope this week will turn out better/healthier than last week ;)

8:20 - For breakfast I had almost the same as last week, some porridge with 4 almonds in it, a chopped banana, some blueberries and cinnamon on top. I always try to make my first meal of the day a good one to keep the blood sugar high as long as possible.

I also had a big glass of water to take my prenatal vitamins and a can of herbal pregnancy tea.

12:20 - At lunch time I had a whole grain toastie with honey and plum marmalade. As kind of dessert I had a third of a water melon. Yum!

And of course I had a big glass of water again :)

15:20 - Coffee time!! Had my cup of coffee with one small tea spoon brown sugar and a sip soy milk. Besides I had three rice cakes thinly covered with chocolate.

And my water...

17:30 - In the late afternoon I was starving! We were out at a shopping center and I had a bread roll with fishcake, lettuce and remoulade sauce from Nordsee.

These are always tasty, but I still was hungry afterwards. :/

19:30 - Finally got my dinner at home, which was 5 potato snack thingies filled with herb cream cheese and some cucumber, tomatoes and my water!

Over the day I drank a can of 0,75 liters of tea and more than 1,5 liters of water!

Hope you enjoyed this What I ate Wednesday and if you like, leave your link to your WIAW´s below in the comments and I'll be stopping by :)

Healthy food day - WIAW

I must admit that I haven´t been eating as good during pregnancy than before. :( This fact makes me feel kind of sad, because I want the best for my little baby obviously.. but unfortunately I am much more hungry and cannot hold back myself or control me very good. :/
So I thought I would start the What I ate Wednesday again and have at least one - or even some more - good food days throughout the week! :)

8:30am - For breakfast this morning I´ve had porridge with light soy milk, 4 almonds, a chopped banana, filets of orange and sprinkled over some cinnamon.

Also had a big glass of water to take my prenatal vitamins and prepared a can of herbal tea. Normally this would be some kind of a fruit tea but for now it is a special mixed pregnancy tea containing 7 herbs.

12:45pm - For lunch I had some leftover pasta. It´s a mixture of arrabiata and bolognese sauce, because I like it spiced up! :)

I am also having a big glass of water besides.

3:00pm - Coffee break! I am having a treat of three rice cakes covered with dark chocolate and a cup of black coffee.

And again a glass of water...

6:15pm - We had dinner at subway today and I ate 2 half subs with chicken fajita and chipotle southwest sauce. The only difference was the bread, one is on parmesan-oregano and one on honey oats.

In terms of toppings/salad I never leave anything out, it´s always two slices of cheese, lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, jalapeños, onions, parmesan, salt & pepper. I also had a coke zero with it and half a raspberry-cheesecake cookie as kind of a dessert.

8:30pm - Treat time! I am having a Mars ice cream right now! Yum!!!

Spread over the whole day I also drank 1,5 litres of water. I hope you liked this post although today didn´t really turn out as a super healthy day ;) Please feel free to leave your comments or links to your WIAW´s below. Have a nice and relaxing evening!

healthy spinach lasagne with salmon WIAW

And again I am coming up with a food post! I hope you enjoy - this time I had a super yummy lasagne with spinach and salmon!

If you want to try this you just need to follow my recipe here:

• cut 2 onions into small cubes
• heat 1 table spoon of vegetable oil in a pan
• add onions together with 400gr. of spinach (unfrozen is fine) and let steam for 5 minutes
• in the meantime cut 160gr. of fresh smoked salmon slices into small squares
• then add 300ml of vegetable brooth into the pan
• open and add a tin of chunky tomatoes (400gr.) and the salmon into the pan
• add salt, pepper and thyme
• pre-heat the oven to 200°degrees celsius
• prepare 400gr. of low fat cream cheese (buko/philadelphia) in a bowl and stirr together with 1 table spoon dill, a pinch salt & pepper, 1 tea spoon of lemon juice and a bit muscat
• now start shifting into a gratin dish (21x32cm) start with spinach mass, then lasagne sheets (you´ll need 12 in total) and then the cheese mass. repeat 3 times.
• add low fat grating cheese as much as you like (I had 150gr.)
• put it in the oven for 25 minutes

It´s a little bit time consuming but it is so worth it! Spinach has a lot of good vitamins and minerals, also the salmon contains folate and omega-3 oils which are good for your heart and organs!

Did you like my recipe? Let me know if you want to try out! ;)

healthy broccoli soup WIAW

Here is my what I ate Wednesday!
Today I would like to share a recipe of a really easy and delicious broccoli soup.

 

The cooking is so simple and goes really quick. Here it goes for 2 persons as a dish or as a starter for 4 persons:

Put 500gr of broccoli in a pot, also deep-frozen broccoli is fine!
Add 300ml of freshly brewed vegetable broth and let it cook for 8mins.
To flavor use salt, white pepper and a bit of muscat.
Now puree everything to a fine soup with an immersion blender and finally stirr in 4 table spoons of crème fraîche. Et voilá!

As you can see I added some coûtons to my soup, as a change I would probably choose a whole grain roll for the next time and/or replace half the broccoli with spinach!

This dish is super healthy as broccoli and spinach contain a lot of calcium, iron and B-vitamins! Hope you enjoy experimenting, bon apétit! :)

Healthy food day (WIAW)

Today I would like to join in on the What I ate Wednesday that I have seen on Anna Saccone's blog. I am a healthy food lover and posted already a lot of photos of my meals on instagram where my nickname is saniw. So I thought it would be fun to also write blog posts about my food from time to time :)

So, I'm having my breakfast in the office at 8:20 am. At home it´s too early for me to get something down, but I know how important it is to have a good base for the day!

 

For breakfast I always have a big glass of water at first. Whenever I am craving chocolate - as today - I am definitively having a whole grain toasty with a tea spoon of Nutella and some banana slices. I'm also having a small mild yoghurt with banana slices and a tea spoon of hacked almonds. Thereafter I am enyoing my beloved apple tea!

Time for some black coffee at 10am, at 11am and at 2pm!

At 12:20 pm I got half a sandwich at subway for lunch. These are sooo good and fresh! I chose the honey oat bread, only 2 slices of salami, topped with cheese and usually enjoy it warm and with all salads and stuff. This time I did choose the spicy sauce. Yummy!

Then I had chili con carne for dinner - at 5:10 pm. It´s homemade by myself and is definitively one of my favourite meals! For dessert I ate 2 kiwis.

At 7 pm I had a little sweet snack - a coffee with a bit sugar and milk, 2 biscuit cookies (ladyfingers) and some wine gums. At least once a day I need something sweet! 

As everyday I drank a minimum of 2 litres of water and tea.

What do you think, would you also eat those things? Please feel free to leave your comments and your WIAW's below. :)
Again, I hope my English is ok and you´ll bear with me if I am doing any mistakes! Thank you! <3

healty food

Just wanted to let you know that I am using my instagram account at the moment for posting my meals. I want to eat in a more healthy way.. I was inspired to post pictures of my meals by bubblegarm.
So if you are interested my username on instagram is saniw. The main part of the meals are all cooked with light products and lots of vegetables. I think it´s quite interesting to see what you´ve eaten while on a diet. Momentarily I am following a certain program and I have commited to myself to loose 4kg weight in 7 weeks! Hopefully I will get that managed!! :)

Today is the first day that I can wear my ballerinas.. yay! Spring, I am ready when you are.. :)
