3-day smoothie challenge

Ye, I made it.

Being inspired by amazing, very warm person fullyrawkristina I decided to make my 3-day smoothie challenge. I did it because I wanted to detox and clean my self a little bite. 

My challenge was that I drunk smoothies for 3 days and made same exercises, bath and relaxing day. I must say, that just because I am working person, and I do not have possibility to do smoothies at work, I ate some regular zucchini salad in the first day during the lunch. And then during other days I had fresh fruits and berries as a snack. 

So lets get started:

Friday, day 1, morning starts with some callanetics fitness. After that I had this smoothie
Banana, nectarine, oat, maca powder, linseed
The taste was just amazing. And I was so much surprised that after this smoothie I didn't want to eat quite long. 

Then as I said before, I had some salad for lunch (sorry but don't have photo of that)

Friday, day 1, for dinner I had this type of smoothie
Banana, apple, sweet cherries
So, the first day ended and I was proud of my self. I didn't have any unwanted side effects.

Saturday, day 2, morning as always starts with very good callanetics fitness, after that glass of still water, and for breakfast
Pear, celery,  coriander, zucchini, orange juice
That green smoothie was so amazing, I couldn't even imagine to be that tasty. After that I went to market, to by some bananas and strawberries, and spinach for the smoothies of next days. And went to work.

I came back home at 15 o clock and for lunch had
Fresh banana, fresh strawberries, frozen banana, cashews
Well strawberries are not my favourite berries, but they are so good when putting in smoothies or combining with other vegetables in salad. After almost one hour I went for cycling. And did 15 km, 200 calories burned. When came home, had warm bath to clean my detoxifying body (after not having hot water for the hole week, that was like haven (yes, yes I know I am victim of socialisation and hot water)).

And what could be better for dinner then this gorges smoothie
Apple, celery,  half cucumber, carrots
It was a little bit to thick for me, but putting hole carrots you don't need to wait anything else. Next time I will try to do the same with carrot juice.

Sunday, day 3, starts without fitness, but with big jar or water. And after about half an hour I made this breakfast
Banana, celery,  zucchini, mungo beans, spinach
Green smoothie, the good start for upcoming day.

My day passed so quickly, but I spent it relaxing at home, and reading very good book about rout to Santjago De Compostela. Watched movie (SPY, 2015), I lough so much. And on lunch I had this very tasty berries smoothie 
Banana, frozen black currants, fresh blueberry, blackberry

And this one was my last one. Just because is still very cold in my country (at least for me), I got frozen, so for rest of the day decided to have some fresh sweet cherries and black tea (that I know doesn't mach with cleaning challenge at all).

In those 3 days I went to toilet very rarely and did very small amount. I lost 1 kg. I felt energetic during all days, but in second day I wanted to eat so much.

In conclusion I want to say, that I will definitely repeat this challenge some day, when it will be more warmer and when I will have opportunity to drink smoothie all the time.
I think my next challenge will be to eat mono meal for 3 days.

Good lunch for everyone.

P.S. I want to confirm, that all the smoothies were made by my self and all recipes are my own creations.

Unbaked cupcake

As I promised before I am putting a recipe of cup cake from my Birthday.


It's not me who created this recipe, it was girl who named her self as coconutalmondrecipes
In my priviest post I put direct link in to her page, but because it is not working at the moment, I decided to put it in my page. Hope that she is not going to be made on me :)

So you will need:
* 1 can of chickpea
* 1/2 cup of nut butte
* 1/2 cup of mil
* 6 - 8 dates
* 1 tea sp. of vainly

Very good dried and soaked chickpea put in to the food processor.
Nuts butter you can use what ever you want. I used almond butter, which I made by my self.
Milk is of your choose (almond, soy, oat and other). I used the top of coconut milk, that thick cream.


All ingredients we put into food processor and mix almost for 1 minute. Taste, if it is not enough of sweet for you, you can put dates or put some syrup of your taste.
The mass you get put in to the forms of your choice and freeze for 4 hours.

BONE APPETITE!!!

A little bit of sweets

In these couple days, when the sun started shinning a little bite stronger, lot of people in my country rushed to undress and started eating ice cream.
I am not warm at all, but thought, why do not enjoy with them. The healthy ones, that don't have lot of calories, of witch you can eat and don't think, don't be worried about fats and growing kilos, and pimples.

And there is my STRACCIATELLA vegan ice cream:

- First of all take very very good ripped bananas and put them in the freezer (I put 3  bananas in to the plastic food container and freeze one day)

- Wen frozen put bananas in to food processor and mix until solid mass (if needed mix in the process)
- With grater grate dark chocolate and some of it mix very slowly in to the mass.
- Some of the chocolate I left to put on the top.

And veil. BON APPETITE!!!
