Chai latte love

DRINK Chai latte with milk foam topped with cinnamon

Aaahh, This is my all time favorite drink, perfect for these cold, rainy days! Chai is originaly an indian tea made with milk and lots of gorgeous indian spices. It's just so creamy, yummy, aromatic and healthy! I always make my chai on non fat milk and stevia, but of couse you can use whatever sweetener you want. I'll bet it would be great with honey too, yum yum! for the milk foam, I whip a bit of milk in a bowl, and when its all fluffy an voluminous, it's done! For the chai, I just throws all the ingredients into a pod and then bring it to a boil. Then I remove the spices, and there you have it! Super easy and super delicious!

Ingredients
1 serving

5 cardamom pods
7 cloves
4 peppercorns
1 star anise
2-3 inches of a cinnamon stick
a piece of fresh ginger
1 tsp of black tea
0,5 cup of water
1 cup of milk
Sweetener (stevia, honey, syrup or whatever you like the most)

Shake it up!

BREAKFAST Smoothie topped with oats, flaxseeds, almonds and cherries
DRINK Watermelon shake with ice cubes

Yum yum yum! This was so great! In the breakfast smoothie i have raspberries, banana, salad leaves, milk and limejuice. I almost always add some kind of veggie to my smoothies, it really makes them so much more healthier, and you really can't taste it. In this one i used a verry light green sort of salad (can't remember the name), so it didn't ruin the pretty pink color (: But you can use any greens you want: Kale, spinach, carrots etc. Especially kale is incredibly healthy, so go ahead!
The watermelon shake was sooo great to! When i was in Thailand last year, we drank these everyday while lying at the pool. So delicious, healthy and refreshing! Perfect on hot summer days. The only ingredients are watermelon and ice cubes. Just throw it all into a food processor for a minute or two, and there you have it!

Exotic smoothie

BREAKFAST Smoothie and toasted wholeweat bread with chocolate and banana

Good morning. Today i started out my day with this delicious breakfast, super healthy and i'm ready to go! I made the smoothie of mango, grapes, papaya, pineapple, orangejuice and mint - really a great combination! I love the little twisted flavour that the mint gives. Soo good. The chocolate on the bread melted so nicely and created a wonderful creamy texture, uhm! (: The whole meal gave me about 350 kcals, which is just perfect for a good, balanced breakfast to kickstart my day.

- Hugs!
