Easy Tortilla Pizza

This is not my original recipe. On the contrary, tortilla pizzas can be found on hundreds of blogs throughout the Internet, with minimal differences (or none at all). Nevertheless, it is so quick and simple recipe that I decided to include it into my collection. As I am quite short and slim, I try to search for dishes […]

Weight Loss oatmeal

I’ve never met a runner who does not like an oatmeal in one form or another. For me, a day without porridge is a day lost. Rich in fiber, vitamins E and B1 and unsaturated fatty acids, it gives our body a kick for the whole day (or a good workout). Even the simplest oeatmeal is a good mix […]

Buckwheat Porridge

My recent discovery – a real kick-of-energy breakfast, i.e. buckwheat porridge. It is a great alternative to the classic oatmeal and is equally quick in preparation. It can be served hot or cold, sweet and seasoned with fruit, spicy or chocolate one. The great advantage of this breakfast is a low glycemic index (uncooked groats – IG 40, boiled – […]

Easy homemade coconut milk

Coconut milk has a lot of applications. Along with other plant drinks (soy milk, rice milk, oatmeal milk, etc.) it is a very good substitute for cow’s milk for vegans and lactose intolerant people. It has a very characteristic taste, contains from 15% to 25% fat, and – in contrast to cow’s milk – fiber. Coconut […]

Protein pancakes

Another recipe I want to share with you is „protein pancakes” – brilliant and simple breakfast providing everything you need for breakfast. The flavour depends on available protein supplement (it can be neutral as well – in that case use your favourite spices – eg. Cinnamon, ginger, cocoa, etc.). Pancakes are delicious on their own, but you might as well […]

Protein waffles

Until recently, I kept as far from waffles as I could. High-calorie, only simple carbs, oil, with whipped cream (obviously) and a ton of sugar. But I found a blog Poranne inspiracje by Sylwia Fojcik. There, I found repository of inspirations for delicious breakfasts. And most importantly – the recipes are quick, simple and nutritionally perfect. They are also the […]

How often should you eat?

How many meals a day should you eat to maintain a good figure, have a full tank of energy and quick metabolism? Some say you should eat 5-6 meals a day, others that only 3 is enough. Meanwhile, recent studies indicate that these are all false conceptions. You can go dizzy with all this. What to eat […]

How to hydrate properly

Theoretically, we all know that we should rehydrate – even more important for athletes. But in practice it’s not so obvious anymore – we often disregard this issue. Meanwhile, the proper hydration is of cardinal importance both for our health, as well as for the quality of our training. WATER IN THE BODY The average healthy adult human […]

Going NUTS with heart-healthy fats

I love nuts in every form. This is one of the healthier snacks – a great „emergency” meal in travel, when the only alternative is some fast food. They are caloric, but if you can limit yourself to a handful, they’ll repay a hundred times with the wealth of health properties. Nuts are very popular in the diet of […]

Running for Weight Loss

How to run to lose weight? How soon do we begin to burn fat? How to eat properly? Is running on an empty stomach good? These and other questions nag people who reach for running as a way to lose weight. And isn’t it true that most of us began running for that reason in the first place? Me […]

Post-workout kale shake

Vegetable and fruit cocktails are a brilliant invention – they’re full of vitamins, micronutrients and fiber, easily digestible and can be made of virtually everything. They are also delicious and quick to make. What could you want more? We distinguish 2 kinds of cocktails: shakes – based on dairy products (milk, joghurt, kefir, buttermilk) – great after workout, […]

Pad Thai – fragrant street food from Thailand

I fell in love with Pad Thai when my fiancee took me to Thai restaurant Samui in Cracow. In fact, it was the beginning of my fascination of the entire Thai cuisine. It is full of fragrant spices with tons of  healing properties. Pad Thai has a very rich taste and contitutes a compound meal supplying everything we need: carbohydrates […]

Red wine risotto with fungi and paprika

A good risotto requires a lot of practice. It is a culinary showcase of northern Italy, like pasta is of southern. Good risotto is prepared in just 20 minutes  and there is a set of strict rules, obligatory if you are to prepare a really perfect risotto. A seemingly simple rice with vegetables, prepared in accordance with […]

Bran pancakes

As always a week before important race I follow a carb-loading diet. The first three days are to deplete glycogen from the body, so the products must be based on protein and sufficient fat content, with the minimum amount of carbs. I usually begin this diet with bran pancakes – it’s a kind of my ritual already. They contain a […]

Groats – the source of health

The traditional Polish dinner is invariably associated with potatoes. For breakfast we most eagerly reach for bread or buns (mostly white). Meanwhile, we have a lot of healthy replacements of the common bread. One of them is rice, which you can read about in the article RICE – CALORIES, VARIETES, NUTRITIONAL VALUES Today I propose another, much healthier […]
