Awesome crayfish salad

Salad with crayfish, veggies, strawberries and soy dressing

Ah, verry awesome summer salad! Almost all the greens are from my own garden, so proud! One of the many things I really love about summer - my wonderful garden! It has all different kinds of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, chili, onion, fresh herbs.. Just amazing! (: This salad was so great! The combo with fresh strawberries, crabfish and soy was verry delicious, definitely going to make that one again. The colors are simply gorgeous too, so bright and vibrant! For veggies, I just used what I had, but feel free to use whatever you like. Also, crayfish is a great source of protein and doesn't contain any fat at all.

Nothing better to kickstart the day, it leaves me with so much good energy and positivity.

It also contains zero trans fatty acids, which is pretty amazing! I put half of the banana in the porridge, and use the other half as topping. If you want to, you can add some extra sweetener such as honey or stevia. I cook my porridge in the microwave, super easy and just as good! Cook it for about 2-3 minutes.

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!
