Quinoa salad

I made this fantastic quinoa salad for dinner. This is what I put together:

quinoa (cooked in vegetable stock, cooled)

sweet corn

arugula

cherry tomatoes

dressing:

olive oil

rice vinegar

salt and pepper

I was asked when I will make this again, that's how good it was. If you like meat, you can top the salad of with organic, thinly sliced, grilled chicken breast.

Rainbow lunch

I made this rainbow coloured salad yesterday for lunch - it's so good and healthy that I am already craving it for today's lunch! 

This is what I put in it:

arugula

radicchio

sliced mushrooms

some mixed nuts (walnuts, almonds, cashew, hazelnut)

one mandarin (sliced)

goji berries

I was out of chia seeds but will use them in today's version - and I will add some fresh mango!

As a dressing I used sweet (honey) mustard mixed with a splash of coconut oil and water. 

Apple and apple

Creating good habits is easier than you think. In the beginning you might have to force yourself to try new ways but then after five, ten, twelve times it feels natural and you don't wanna ever go back to the old ways. The *good* habit I created for myself a while back is drinking vitamins in the morning. 

Smoothies but even more so juices are my morning addictions. Hence, all I use in the morning is either my blender or my juicer. Today I created this fantastic yellow juice made of one whole pineapple (yes, it's sweet) and two Granny Smith apples. So simple, so yellow so good!
