Delicious, simple vegetarian meal 😋😋👌
✅ Rich in vitamins and antioxidants ✅

✅ Here are just some benefits of these veg:
Garlic- Vit B6 , Vit C, Selenium, Iron, Calcium, Potassium, Phosphorus, Manganese, Copper
Onions- Vit B6, Vit C, Folate, Iron, Potassium
(one of healthiest veg, regulates fat and cholesterol levels in liver and blood)
Peppers/ Capsicums- have many benefits including Vit C and antioxidants, low in cal
Tomatoes: Vit A, Vit B1, B3, B5, B6 , B7, Vit C and K, Potassium (regulates blood pressure) Folate...✅

What you would need:
• Olive oil (extra virgin if possible)
• Brown onions (as many as you like)
• Cloves of garlic (as many as you like)
• Cupsicums (red , yellow and sweet/ hot chillies... Any type and colour will do🌶🌶)
• Tomatoes (riped, min 4-5)

Optional:
• can add eggplant, zuccini, potatoes
• can use thickened cream instead tomatoes

Meat version:• diced chicken or red meat

Instructions:
Heat oil on medium. Cut up all veg and cook by adding one by one in order as above.
Don’t fully cover or add water (unless you like)

✨Add tomatoes and salt at the end (adding salt during the cooking will release water from veg and make it soggy)✨
✨ Can swap tomatoes for thickened cream
(add at the end and cook for 2-3 minutes) This is especialy nice if using potato cubes.
Tips:
✨If using meat start by cooking it (slightly) first.✨Canned tomatoes can be used for richer, tomato based sauce.

✨Vitamin D✨

A very common deficiency, that effects so many people of all ages these days is a vitamin D deficiency.
Apart from spending less and less time outdoors, one of the main reasons for it's deficiency is excessive usage of UV protection substances in everyday creams and lotions, sun screens, tinted windows and similar in order to protect ourselves from skin cancer.

However, by doing so we are blocking the exposure to sun and the production of this crucial vitamin, and this is the main way we get it.

We often underestimate the importance of this vitamin. It is responsible for many metabolic functions but most importantly is its role in proper function of the immune system and also weight loss!! Yes, weight loss 😊

So, if you are often feeling sick, tired and "under the weather" you are most likely deficient in this great vitamin...

✨To help your self feel better and to maintain healthy bodily functions aim to spend some time outdoors every day, even if it's not sunny. Just pull your sleeves up, water your garden, pull out the weeds or enjoy a cup of coffee or tea on your veranda...Your body will thank you for it ✨

✨Crepes✨sweet or savoury Vs improved, healthier version✨

You can create a healthier version of all your favourite recipes by making very small changes...All you need is a right mind set 😇

Today, I made our favourites, Sour cream/ Nutella crepes in a little different way and they tasted delicious 😋😋😋😋

✨To prepare batter I usually use 2-3 eggs, 2-3 cup of water, pinch of salt and all purpose flour...All mixed and fried in hot oil/butter.
Improved version:
*reduce whole eggs and add 2-3 egg whites
*use buckwheat or wholemeal flour instead of white
*use less and better quality olive oil...Cook on med heat

✨Toppings✨ unhealthy VS healthy

✨ Full/low fat sour cream VS low fat cottage cheese✨
While low fat sour cream can still be used as a source of protein, you will probably need more that 1 tbs to get the recommended protein of 20g per serve... By having more to get 20g you are risking getting too much fat intake (have to keep in mind that you already have fat in egg yorks and oil).
However, is much better to replace sour cream all together with 200g of low fat cottage cheese and add 2 cups of fresh veg for recommended veg serve per meal. I have used 1 med tomato and 1 cup fresh, cut up leak.. Any salad on fresh veg can be used.

✨Nutella/ sugary spreads VS fruit/ other natural sugar sources✨
For sweet flavour you can use any fruits and 1 tsp of honey or maple syrup. Adding some nuts and seeds like 1 tbs LSA mix, flex or chia seeds will give you some healthy fat benefits while you still get sugar in a natural form.
