My Healthy Breakfast Bowl

30/09/2015 / Mary / 27 Comments

Hello my beautiful friends,

Today I want to share with you my favorite healthy breakfast bowl and also some of the healthy habits I started to practise recently. Let me begin with some of the healthy habits that I added to my morning routine.

Nowadays it became somehow very modern and popular to speak about healthy lifestyle, healthy eating, food, routine, snacks and everything that includes the word “healthy” sounds good and so positive. I must confess that I am also influenced by this “new mode”. Actually my mom and dad were the first who inspired me and motivated me to try out new healthy food regime and to get informed about the benefits of it. Until then I was not aware of anything healthy lifestyle related. I literally ate everything and did not have a regime. This was before two years ago when I decided to change my food habits and to try to eat more healthier. It is always about our decisions. Everything starts the moment you decide and commit yourself to be persistent.

I started with small steps. This healthy breakfast bowl as I love to call it was one of the first things I added as my main breakfast. But before sharing with you what is inside the bowl let me tell you some of my other healthy tips which I am practicing.

After my bathroom morning routine I am heading to the kitchen. The first thing thing I am doing is eating one tea spoon of coconut oil. Yes, I know, sounds a little bit weird but it is the best habit I have added to my morning routine. I am planning to do a whole separate blog post dedicated to the benefits of the coconut oil.

After eating the spoon of coconut oil I am drinking 2 hot cups either with ginger to with slices of lemon. So yummy! My body is so used to this taste early in the morning that sometimes when I got late consuming it I feel how my is wanting and missing this detoxing dose. Then I wait 20 to 30 minutes before my breakfast. This gives my body the needed time to get prepared to consume the food.

And here comes the time for my healthy breakfast bowl. It is so simple to make and in the same time so good for you snd contains amazing healthy ingredients. And here they are:

yogurt
musli
almonds
sunflower seeds
golden raisins
linseed
sesame seeds
cinnamon
fresh fruits ( kiwi, banana)
for some sweetness – almond butter

So here you go – a healthy breakfast bowl.

I hope it was helpful and interesting for you guys. Please let me know in the comments below what do you thing of this healthy bowl and if you would like to do post about the benefits of the coconut oil and also if you want to share with you how I stopped consuming sugar?

Much love,

Hello there,

Achieving a beautiful, healthy and fit body is not so easy. I can tell, it could be really tough and difficult proccess until you use to do it, until you build up a strong routine and more important to have the will not to stop and give up. Staying motivated and building a strong and fit body is a process and besides the trainings, your diet plays a key role in achieving your dream body.

The product I want to talk about is the ONE PWO® Pre-workout from Fitness Guru that delivers intense energy and increase the strength. It is a really great practice and habit you can do by taking some pre-workout supplements which will give you the needed energy during the real training.

Benefits of Pre-Workout Supplementations:

– decrease muscle breakdown during training
– increase metabolic rate (fat burning) during the training
– improve nutrient delivery and assimilation
– reduce lactic acid and improves endurence

I mean you should really take it 30-40 minutes before the workout and not right before it. I also love to take their casein protein which give me an extra strength and the needed power. The ONE PWO comes in two cool flavors – apple and cola.

You can shop the product here:

Thank you so much for visiting. You can find me on Instagram and Twitter for more daily inspirations.

Please share in the comments below if you are taking some Pre-Work supplements. I would love to know.

Benefits of Casein Protein.

Hello beauties and fitness lovers,

I am sharing with you one of my best ways to stay fit and to feel strong and healthy. I am talking about taking some pre-workout supplements and protein powder – amazing stuff by Fitnessguru.

And what about protein? Is it gonna help you to get a fit shape? As you may know it has a lot of functions and I want to share with you the benefits of Casein Protein when consuming it right.

your body needs to recover after the training and is trying to repair the fibers recover your muscles
the protein will help your body to repair your broken muscles

So it is a great way to help your body easily to recover after training. Adding a protein shake to your diet is the easiest way to get the needed protein when it is hard for you to eat enough with your regular diet.

The protein I am using now is the ONE CASEIN DOUBLE RICH CHOCOLATE. Here are the benefits of consuming casein protein I would like to share with you.

longer lasting effect – muscle may to be built overnight but drinking a glass of casein milk is the ideal protein to consume right before bed, as it will be more helpful throughout the night than any other protein option
fat loss – you are able to have a higher metabolic rate while sleeping and a better overall fat balance
greater strength – researches found that casein actually doubled the effect that whey protein has on legs, chest and shoulder strength results
dental protection – the casein protein has the potential to reduce or prevent the effects of enamel erosion

It has an amazing taste of rich chocolate. So yummy and creamy taste. You can tell you between meals and also as a snack before bed. Here is my simple and easy receipt to make a protein shake:

mix one scoop with 0.5-1 lt water or milk (better almond milk than diary)
blend it well and you are ready to drink and enjoy it:)

I am planning to do some video and a blog post about my quick and intensive workout which I am practicing at home. Except the home workouts, I am doing some cardio exsercises by jumping my favorite rope. Let me know in the comments below if you would like to share with you my recent abs workout. Do you guys consume also a casein protein or a whey protein? Do you have any useful fitness habits? I would love to hear it:)

Love,

Mary
