Acai Bowl

Recently I've been looking at healthy snack recipes, getting bored of the same old smoothie recipes and I stumbled across an Acai bowl (basically just a bunch of fruit blended up topped with granola and more fruits). So here is the recipe I tried which was make shift because I didn't have all the ingredients.

To make this Acai bowl I used;

- Handful frozen raspberries
- Handful frozen strawberries
- Handful of blackberries
- 1/2 banana
- 1 table spoon of ground organic flaxseed
- 1 cup almond milk
- Granola


Method ;

I blended all the ingredients together in a blender for about 1 minute and then poured the contents out into a bowl, added granola and some honey to make it taste even better, and voila you have yourself a quick healthy snack. What's your favourite healthy snack?

Prawn, Avocado & Watermelon Salad

         

    For the saints                                                                       For the sinners

This super healthy & tasty dish is so quick and easy to make it requires next to zero effort. It's packed full of all that good stuff and is 3 of you're 5 a day if you're counting! The picture on the left was before i decided to go all out and add cheese and dressing just for more flavour as i was feeling peckish but that's completely optional. 

To make this salad I used;

- 1/2 bag of mixed leaves

- Handful of prawns

- 1 whole mini avocado

- 1/3 of watermelon

- Table spoon caesar dressing (optional)

- Table spoon Parmesan cheese (optional)

- Sliced lemon (optional)

Method - 

 I actually baked the prawn and avocado in this salad just because i wanted to try something new. I marinated the prawns with a clove of garlic by grinding the clove and mixing it with the prawns in a small bowl. I also added some a teaspoon of lemon juice into the bowl and left it to soak up all the flavour for about half an hour. However, most frozen prawns are already pre-cooked and only require defrosting which would save you a lot of time if you're in a hurry. 

To bake the avocado i simply cut it up into 4 quadrants and placed it in a baking tray alongside the pre-marinated prawns and left it in the oven for about 15 minutes.  When the prawns and avocado were ready, i just put my salad ingredients all together in my bowl, added the prawns and avocado then i was done!
