  1. It's been a while since I last logged my activities and food, but that doesn't mean that I stopped doing what I do

    It's been a hell of a winter season, relieved that it's over. Went on the most magical journey to Bali. Came back home and now I'm just relaxing and enjoying my summer with lots of good food (and sometimes not so good ), yoga, workouts, beach and snorkelling

     

    So that's it for the past months, now the update for today:

     

    Activities:

    morning Vinyasa flow - 45 min

    right next to the beach where I go, we have this almost vertical ladder with 138 steps (yes, I've counted them ), so the workout for today was 3 climbs and 3 descends

     

    Food:

    Activities

    Ashtanga/power yoga - 70 min

    I had terribly difficult yoga class today - I was soooo tired, I hardly kept myself from sleeping in the middle of it so I didn't do anything else today workoutwise.

     

    Food

    Breakfast:

    Beets and green cabbage salad with sunflower seeds and olive oil

    Halvah

  5. DIY chocolate? You made your own chocolate? How?

    It's really simple and it takes not more than 20 min

    You'll need:

    75 gr raw cocoa paste (here you could add also cocoa powder or carob powder)

    1 tbsp coconut butter

    1 tbsp raw coconut cream

    1 tbsp raw honey (or agave syrup)

    1-2 tbsp chopped raw nuts (I usually use almonds)

    1-2 tbsp dried cranberries, goji berries or other kind if dries fruits

    3 dried dates

     

    First, you'll need to grate the cocoa paste and chop the rest of the ingredients. Put everything to melt (together) in hot water (do not use direct heat) and then pur into a flat pan. Leave in the fridge to cool for a couple of hours and then enjoy.

     

    Really simple, really delicious and healthy.
