Pumpkin soup with coconut milk

Pumpkin soup is a typical autumn soup made in thousand different ways. My favorite taste is a slightly spicy cream with ginger and coconut milk – it has a really unique flavour. It’s a magical soup as it disappears before it’s even ready ;-) RECIPE INGREDIENTS (4-5 servings): 1kg pumpkin 1 l vegetable broth (homemade or concentrated) 2 […]

Spinach Lasagna

Lasagna is one of my favorite cheat meals, i.e. dishes I serve myself as an exception from my regular diet or a planned meal before the major race. In such a case the large amount of calories (especially carbs) is most welcome. Spinach lasagna is as good a carbo-loading meal as a regenerative meal after […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Avocado – miraculous butter fruit

Avocado is considered a superfood and can be very beneficial for our health. We reach for this butter fruit more eagerly every day. Despite the high caloric value, due to the large amount of fat, avocado shouldn’t be avoided. Paradoxically, this fruit helps in weight loss and lowers bad cholesterol levels. It is a rich […]
