Food: messy parfait, salad and chinese food

I enjoyed very much this week’s food because they’re easy to make, nutritious and fresh enough for hot weather (over 100F!!! :shock:)

Breakfast continued to be “messy parfait”. I love it so much that every morning after I wake up I look forward to my breakfast! 😉

this combo has 2 chopped nectarine, 1 protein brownie, 1/3 cup cottage cheese mixed with 1/4 cup almond milk and 1 tbsp chia seed

After I finished the protein brownie, I made another batch replacing cocoa powder with 1/3 cup shredded coconut.

this combo has the coconut protein cake, 1/2 cup greek yogurt and nectarines.

And one more combo with cottage cheese, almond milk and chia seed (sit at the fridge overnight), coconut protein cake and nectarines. YUM~~~

I just made another batch of protein cake, this time mango & coconut protein cake

• 1 1/4 cup oats, grounded
• 1/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes, grounded
• 60g protein powder (vanilla)
• 200 g mango, puree
• 1/2 cup egg white
• 1/2 cup almond milk
• 1/2 tbsp baking powder
• 42g chopped walnuts
• 1/4 cup NuNaturals stevia baking blend

Mix wet and dry separately and bake at 350F for 30 min.

Salad is all I crave during this hot weather. So whenever I have lunch at home, I’d make a nutritious salad

this one has chopped romaine, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, tofu, corn and half large avocado. Dressing: balsamic, olive, mustard.

this one used kale and Mama Pea’s sunshine salad dressing

Same salad ingredients as the previous one and the dressing is made using 1 tbsp tahini, 2 tbsp water, 1 tbsp vinegar, 1 tbsp nutritional yeast, minced garlic, salt and pinch of stevia.

And my favorite salad combo this week!!!

made with chopped romaine, tomatoes, cucumber, tofu, 2 boiled eggs, 1 avocado, dressing: balsamic, mustard, nutritional yeast, chia seed and almond milk.

Love the creaminess of extra avocado.

Dinners were chinese food.

Q: What are you loving lately?

Food: summer meals

DC has been really hot last week… we reached 100F several days! So hot breakfast doesn’t sound appetizing anymore. I’ve been having parfait or “messy” breakfast last week and love them!!!

#1 Parfait and chocolate almond milk

layer of quinoa, greek yogurt, peach, more quinoa and walnuts as topping

so refreshing and nutritious

enjoyed every bite of it

#2 A “mess” made with chopped nectarine, greek yogurt and protein brownie

love this combo so much!!!! I have two more brownies, yeah~~~

and a decaf latte with almond milk.

Dinners have been mainly a quick stir-fry, korean side dish and porridge. Last week’s porridge was made with oatmeal and aduki bean

stir fry of napa cabbage, mushroom, dry shrimp and tofu

Another similar combo

celery, tofu and dry shrimp.

A cleaning fridge kind of salad.

A base of greens, sautéed tuscan kale with coconut oil and tamari, top was a serving of broccoli “cheese” pasta bake

Another stir-fry with napa cabbage, tomato, black fungus, tofu and homemade fish ball

Both Saturday and Sunday I had salad for lunch

made with romaine lettuce, tomato, bell pepper, mushroom, 2 boiled eggs and 1 medium avocado. Seasoned with balsamic, lemon and mustard.

Salad is so good with eggs and avocado! Can’t wait to have more!!! 🙂
