I’ve seen chia seed pudding all over the internet recently. Moreover, even my school dining hall has chocolate chia pudding for each meal in the dessert section (I’m lucky to go to a prep school lol). I wanted to try making my own chia pudding for quite long now; however, something kept happening, and I kept not making it. Finally, yesterday evening I pulled myself together (more like my sweet tooth did) and prepped the pudding. It turned out to be so easy to make, only requiring 4 ingredients (without 2 additional for toppings) and 7 minutes of my time. I’m happy to share my delicious recipe ..read more

Hey everyone! I love plant-based dishes and try to cook them often. Here is one of my to-go recipes of high-protein red lentil pasta with mushrooms and asparagus. It’s - as all of my recipes - is extremely easy to make and takes very little time! You can substitute red lentil pasta for chickpea, edamame, bean, or whole wheat kinds of pasta. But you won’t get as much protein from wheat types of pasta as from the red lentil/chickpea/edamame/bean pasta. You can add as many mushrooms and asparagus as your heart desires! Ingredients:  Mushrooms (I use Baby Bella mushrooms, about 100 gm) A ..read more

Recently I purchased mini packets of hummus and fell in love with them! To be honest, this new hummus doesn’t even stand close to the hummus at my school dining hall (in the best way possible). Because I love it this much, I decided to add hummus to any dish that it would fit in, and the first one is this salad. The combination of juicy tomatoes, fluffy kale, chewy rice, and creamy kale is immaculate! You have to try it for yourself! And, as always, it’s super easy to make. Ingredient List: 2 Tablespoons of hummus Wild Rice (20 gm/30 gm) (quinoa is great too) Kale (around 70 gm) 2 Lar ..read more

I like to keep my meals simple and nutritionally balanced. So most of the time, I eat salads for lunch and dinner because they are super easy to make. I have to say that I don’t eat just spinach and tomatoes. I’ve gone through that stage, experienced all consequences, and realized it’s not a way to go. Now, I am experimenting with all sorts of vegetables to make my own perfect bowl of goodness. I recently came up with a super easy and protein-rich salad with canned tuna that is easy to make. Ingredient List: Canned Tuna (any lean protein would work) Quinoa (20 gm/30 gm) (wild rice is grea ..read more

I absolutely love protein shakes and smoothies because they are easy to make and absolutely delicious! Today I’ll introduce you to my favorite protein shake with a rich chocolate flavor. It is perfect as a snack or a meal (especially if you add some nut butter inside for extra density, so it will keep you fuller for longer). And it has only 5 ingredients! You will need: 1 scoop of unflavored or chocolate protein (preferably without any stevia, added sugar, etc.) I use Unflavored Raw Organic Protein by Garden of Life. 1 ripe banana 1 tablespoon of Cacao powder 150 ml (about 1/2 cup) of ..read more

Today I woke up with a feeling that I wanted to cook something special. I ran through all the possible breakfast options that I have ever prepared and realized that I wanted to make a dish that I’ve never made before. And, so words “baked oatmeal” raced through my mind. I quickly researched all the recipes and came up with my own because I wanted to avoid adding maple syrup and make a relatively small portion. The baked oatmeal turned out very delicious! It tasted more like a pie. The berries baked inside the oatmeal added a nice sweet and juicy consistency. So here I am introducing my recipe ..read more
