Green and white buckwheat

Buckwheat with cottage cheese has that special something. This combination of flavors is really excellent – you need nothing more. Just put it on a plate … or try a little harder and make it a refined dish. For vegans I suggest a green pea puree – equally tasty. And how about preparing both versions at the same […]

Oatmeal omelette

I received the recipe for this the omelette from a friend who is a personal trainer. It turned out that this is a great kick of energy in the morning – a large content of complete protein, minderals condensed in the yolk and complex carbohydrates from oats is probably the perfect mix for any athlete. At […]

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 […]

Kefir Rye Dumplings

Being lately on a „reduction” diet, I’ve been digging up some old recipes and making some new discoveries. This recipe is one of those dug up. Kefir rye dumplings may not look very appetizing, but I assure you that they really taste great and fit into many flavor combinations. They will be a nice change if you’re […]

Cottage Cheese Dumplings

Cottage cheese dumplings from this recipe are basically a classic lazy dumplings, only without the addition of flour. This makes them less caloric, but still providing a good portion of protein that   boosts our metabolism even more than carbohydrates. If you like a lazy dumplings for their distinct flavor, you will definitely like cottage cheese dumplings. They are delicious both […]

Flaxseed pudding

There comes a time when we find that the longer ride on carbohydrates made us somehow lose our racing weight. It’s easy to just cut calories, throw out all carbohydrates for a few weeks and chew only lettuce. The trick is to make it in a way that the mere thought of another „ascetic” meal makes you drool! And so, my experiments […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
