Ideal breakfast for a long day ahead

When you're about to drive for 12 hours from Bucharest to Budapest and you hit the road at 8 am, you might want to make breakfast time count!

Try | RawCoco Bucharest

I tried the first raw vegan sweet shop in Romania. Verdict : an interesting experience and some food for thought.

'Eat Clean' challenge | day 6

Oh my goodness, this is heaven!

'Eat Clean' challenge | day 5

What a start to the day this was!

'Eat Clean' office challenge | day 4

I was tempted to put an 'almost' before the clean bit of the challenge. This was a little bit of a cheat but still technically kept to the brief of the mission.

Behold, banana pancakes. To be read as banana mush pancakes. I have to say I added too much vegetable milk and it was a little on the soft side but nothing that I can't adjust for next time. Have the pancakes and none of the guilt is how I try to live my life :)

'Eat Clean' office challenge | day 3

Today was all about vegan - I took my inspiration from Pauline's instagram and her blog, livingthehealthychoice.com, because frankly the receipe looked delicious and easy to make. I was not let down!

Menu du jour | student edition

Tuesdays are a god sent day of no lectures which means 2 things: I live in my pijamas till about lunchtime and then I make things more adventurous than pasta or sandwiches.

Best start to the day

Summer body wishlist

Livingthehealthychoice Instagram (HERE); Nike Air Max Thea (HERE); Water Bottle (HERE); Hazelnut Milk (HERE); Oysho leggings (HERE)

A little bit of fitness inspiration. Follow Livingthehealthychoice's instagram for amazing healthy receipes almost every day and then have some hazelnut milk, my new obsession. Personally, I find soy and almond milk too flavourless and watery but this...this is Starbucks tofee nut latte sans all the chemical, coffee or sugar! It's slightly sweetened with Agave syrup which makes it very nice to drink.

The water bottle is applicable outside the gym too, especially if you're too good at procrastinating like me (the very reason why I'm writing this post).

Finally, the ultimate stylish combination: Oysho x Nike. One can dream!

Tomato and mozzarella salad - take 2

Avocado cult club

People wait for half terms and holidays to catch up on sleep and the all so vital social life. In my case, add a good dose of cooking! I just love taking the time to make myself healthy meals or snacks and the satisfaction at the end of it is worth the burnt frying pans that I invariably have to scrub afterwards.

Case in point, a spur of the moment superfood salad inspired (but reworked to suit the stuff left over in the fridge) by the Honey Chipotle Chicken Bowls by howsweeteats.com which you can see by clicking HERE.

I adapted the recipe and to a handfull of quinoa cooked with zest from half a lemon and some butter, I  added a chicken breast glazed with a little honey and rosemary. The rest includes an avocado, a chopped pepper, a bunch of roughly chopped parsley, toasted pine nuts and sliced cherry tomatoes with chives.

Lighting was not on my side and so some pictures might not do it justice but damn was it a good lunch!
