Healthy Risotto

Hi friends,

This week I bring you a new but old recipe that I truly like: Risotto.

Who doesn’t like risotto? Right! We all do.
I come up with this recipe a year ago or so, but for some reason I didn’t posted it before.

So here it goes.

Enjoy

Healthy risotto

Ingredients

• 1 cup brown rice or black rice

• 1 large onions finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 1 teaspoon fresh parsley minced
• salt and ground black pepper
• 1 1/2 cups fresh mushrooms (I use Shitake)
• 1 cup Almond milk unsweetened
• 1/4 cup fat-free half ricotta
• 2 cups with 1 Tbsp. of olive oil and water (to substitute the chicken broth)
• 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup low-fat Parmesan cheese, grated SIM
Optional: 100gr chicken

Directions

Coat a large skillet in cooking coconut spray and place over medium-high heat.

Add the onion and garlic and sauté until onion is tender. Stir in the parsley, salt, pepper, and mushrooms. Reduce heat to low and cook until mushrooms have softened. Add the chicken (if you are adding it as an option)

Add the milk and cream to the skillet, mix everything, then stir in the rice. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the water and olive oil, one cup at a time, until it is absorbed by the rice.

Once the rice is finished cooking, stir in the butter and cheese, let cheese melt for a minute, then remove from heat.

And don't forget the main ingredient: LOVE :)

What protein bars should I eat?

Reading labels can help you make good food choices. Processed and packaged foods and drinks—you’ll find them in cans, boxes, bottles, jars, and bags—have a lot of nutrition and food safety information on their labels or packaging.
 

When it comes to protein bars, there's a lot from where to choose but not all are that good to you.

I get this question MANY times, so here's the answer:

- choose the one with less sugar and more protein.

The three brands I personally consume are these ones:

One from OhYeah!, Quest and CarboRite Diet.
My favorites are from Oh Yeah! Flavor Doughnut and Almond.
Enjoy!

Healthy burger

I love Burger but I don't eat bread. What can I do? Be creative of course!

I do my own burgers. So I'm sure they didn't use flour to it.

This recipe serves two people.

 - 2 burgers

- 4 Portobello mushrooms
- Fresh tomatoes
- Onion
- Lettuce

Put the mushrooms in the oven facing up so they grill inside.

While they are grilling, start to caramelize the onions: in a frying pan put onions with balsamic vinegar until reduced and you get caramelized onion. In the same pan grill the burgers.

Then just fill the mushroom with the multiple layers.

Be creative and come up with as much as you want. And by the way, do everything with love, that's my secret ingredient.

Enjoy!

Fit bread

Posted this one many times, but here it goes again.

I don't eat wheat flour or do gluten, so all my recipes are gluten free.

Fit bread

In a small bowl mix:

• 1 egg
• 1 tsp Greek yogurt
• 1 tsp flaxseed flour or coconut or almond flour

 

Microwave for 2:20 min.

After this, I open it and put it on a toaster or even on frying pan and toast it on boat sides.

Eat as you wish.

Today I’m eating it with ricotta and tuna.

 

Enjoy!

Overnight oats

Hey everyone!
So, I'm back after almost a year. To be honest, since I moved to NYC - about a year ago - that I haven't posted anything. Busy life, crazy time but the best time of my life.

Have a few brand new recipes.

The first one is overnight oats. Pretty easy and tasty.

Enjoy.
