In this episode of the Healthy and Fun Journey, I want to share 3 recipes with you that I ate or drank last week. Incredibly delicious, namely. We start with an orange juice that I the day after King's Day made for everyone in the editorial team (Liesbeth was smart enough to take a day off and we were sitting behind our computers with a pretty heavy head). Then I also had the most delicious protein omelet and a salad with sashimi salmon. I'm going to tell you all about how to make it at home. Here they come:
We had drunk too much vodka, mojitos, and I don't know what other junk on King's Day, so we all needed a healthy juice. And to stay a bit in the royal colors, I bought carrots, apples, and ginger. Everything through the slow juicer and you have a super healthy orange juice. Add an ice cube, because that makes it a bit fresher, and for the diehards, you could add a tiny bit of cayenne pepper. That spices things up a lot, but be careful, because depending on how much ginger you put in, it can already be quite spicy.
I had lunch at Paper Planes, a pop-up breakfast and lunch place in Amsterdam. The menu includes smoothies, eggs, pancakes, a quinoa breakfast with yogurt; all healthy stuff that you mainly see a lot on Instagram coming by. I ordered an Egg White Omelet with spinach and goat cheese, and it was quite delicious. Also perfect after a workout; this adds to your protein intake. You know, good for muscle recovery and strong muscles increase your fat burning.
Here's how to make a protein omelet at home and this is what you need:
Take a small pan that also fits in the oven.
- 2 eggs
- a handful of spinach
- 5 cherry tomatoes
- soft goat cheese that you can crumble
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
Grease the pan with a bit of olive oil and then crack 2 eggs (without the yolk) into it. Add the cherry tomatoes, spinach, and some salt and pepper. Stir it all a bit together and then put it in the oven for a quarter of an hour. When the egg is completely set, it's ready. Crumble the goat cheese over it. Serve it with a green salad and bon appétit!
Sashimi salad
Here's what you need and how to make it:
- fresh raw salmon cut into small pieces (sashimi, that is)
- green asparagus
- radishes
- leafy lettuce (choose whichever you like best)
- white cabbage
- green beans
- wasabi
- soy sauce
- lime
- olive oil
- black sesame seeds (not necessary, just nice for the eye)
- pickled ginger (you can just buy this at the supermarket or at the Asian store)
Cook the asparagus and green beans until tender and cut them into small pieces. Then slice the radishes into thin slices. Also, chop the white cabbage. Put all the ingredients in a bowl (including the salmon), make a dressing of olive oil, a bit of lime juice, soy sauce, and wasabi. Add that to the salad. Serve it with ginger and sprinkle some black sesame over the salad.
Enjoy!
