Diet

Sweet Potato

Carbohydrate day, feels great, it will be a day I’ll have more energy to go on with. It will help me burn more at the end of the day but it also means I’ll be stuck with sweet potato and believe me I ve known the taste of sweet potato for a while now that’s why I came across with this simple recipe I’ll share with you now

300 gr of sweet potato

A bunch of coriander

One third of a pack of feta cheese

Salt and pepper

Get your potatoes boiled and cut into small pieces, add coriander and small cubes of feta cheese, prepare your tray with a sprinkle of salt and pepper before adding the potatoes and cheese. How ease is that?

p.s: you may add a drizzle of olive oil for an extra taste.

If you ever been on a diet you’ll understand what I am about to talk about. You have a restrict variety of food to go through, textures will be basically the same for quite some time, and after a while your taste for food will become insensitive, I mean you’ll start to think as a perfectionist-hardcore-biologist-bodybuilder would think…”I am not eating chicken, I am processing protein or if you are eating a sweet potato you will only thing about the production of insulin”

That’s why this weekend I gave my cravings for texture a chance to satisfy it. I went mad at cooking. BEWARE I haven’t stop my diet … I just successfully found a way of cooking something different with the same range of food I have

Here it goes

Asparagus and cherry tomato chicken roll

500 gr of chicken breast

3 small cherry tomato

5-6 asparagus stick

Half onion

Seasoning

Salt

Put all your chicken in a food processor; mince it till you get a paste texture. Spread the chicken I a thin foil; make sure you leave about 1 cm each side of the foil without the paste. In you go with all the filling (I am using asparagus but you can go for whatever you have you your fridge), onion and tomato in. Using the thin foil as guide start closing your chicken roll, make sure you have everything really tight cause at the end It will be easier to slice. Put in the oven for about 30 minutes.  When it is cooked just unwrap it and slice… and enjoy it…

You know when you are just tired of having your protein shake every day? Even if change the flavor every now and then you get pissed of having it. Sometimes you just need a different texture or knowing you have more than just the protein powder and water. That’s why I came across with some different ways of having it through the years.

Here’s a little something

Protein Muffin (after work out)

1 scoop of whey protein

1 egg white

1 spoon of water

1 spoon of coconut oil

1 spoon of almond (flake or powder)

Mix everything in a small bowl, put in the oven for 3 minutes and VOIALÀ

p.s: if you are in a restrict diet you may cut the almonds.
