Strawberry Coconut Lime Juice

Hello Friends,

A new recipe I found (just on some of my searches, so, I do not remember the source and I modified the recipe a bit to suit my needs and what I had in my hand).

It is a very simple recipe and can be modified in anyway you want to suit your tastebuds. In anyway you try, it will be delicious, thirst quenching and very low in calories.

As it stands, these ingredients with quantities I mentioned, it is ONLY 77 calories (1 serving) and it is 1 serving per recipe without using honey. If you add honey, it is about 100 calories, which is still great. Now, it won't get any better than 77 calories for this yummy goodness. I hope I have inspired you enough to try it soon :)

Without further ado, here is the healthy and quick recipe.

Strawberry Coconut Lime Juice

Ingredients

Strawberries - 1 cup roughly chopped

Lime or Lemon Juice - 1 tsp or adjust according to your taste

Coconut Water  - 1 cup

Crushed Ice  - 1 cup (optional)

Chia Seeds - 1 tbsp. (again totally optional but gives such a good texture that you don't want to miss it)
Honey - 1/2 tbsp (optional)

Preparation

Real Simple. Blend Everything together and enjoy !!!

Serving

Just pour it in a glass of your choice and chill !!!

Note: Lemon Juice and Honey, please use both per your taste. First blend other ingredients, taste and then add lemon juice and honey as needed. You may not need both.

Brussels Sprouts Warm Salad

Hello Friends,

After a gap again, I am here with this delicious and warm salad that is super yummy, green (like everybody wants), not raw as I know not many of us like raw veggies and get this, only 129 calories per serving.

I know someone may say oh, 129 calories for salad might be too much, when you can get usual raw green veggie salad for under 100 calories. But, for that, I would say, just give it a try once and you won't complain for calories, as it is all healthy including the cheese.

It has 4.7 g of Fiber, 7.8 g of Protein, 163% of Vitamin C, 28% of Vitamin A, 11% of Calcium and 11% of Iron. Does it get any better? So, ready to try?

Brussels Sprouts Warm Salad

Ingredients (Makes 1 serving)
Brussels Sprouts - 2 cups, diced/sliced or chopped as you like
Onions - 1/2 cup sliced/diced or chopped, use the same way you do brussel sprouts
Salt - 1 dash
Black Pepper - 1 dash or per your taste
Olive Oil - 1 tsp
Reduced Fat - 1-2 tbsp Feta Crumbled
Preparation

• Take a non stick pan and heat in medium heat
• Add oil and once the oil is hot, add in onion and brussel sprouts
• I usually add the dash of salt here (but you can add it at the end too, your preference)
• Saute (open pan) for up to 4-5 minutes
• Close the lid and let it steam for about 1 min.
• Open the lid and switch off the gas
• Add salt/pepper (skip salt if you already added it before).
• Take it in serving bowl and crumble feta cheese all over.
• Mix it right before serving.

Serving

Serve it as a warm salad right before lunch/dinner. In addition, you can also use it as a side dish with roti/rice. I also tried using it as a soft taco stuffing and it works great, so use your imagination.
