Hi, guys! Today I'm showing you how to make a great and healthy #vegetarian Cantonese rice bowl!


Grab a pan and let's start cooking!

 

Ingredients (1 yield):

  • A handful of rice (I used about 60 grams)

  • 60 grams tofu

  • A handful of green peas (I used around 80 grams)

  • 1 small carrot

  • 1 egg (you can totally skip this if you're vegan)

Instructions:


1. Let's start by cooking the rice following the instructions you can find on the package. Then you can start preparing all the other ingredients: cut the carrot as finely as you like, dice the tofu and place the green peas in a bowl. Drizzle a bit of olive oil in a pan and then


2. Let your veggies and tofu cook, stirring occasionally. When they're almost ready, throw in the egg (or skip it) and then start scrambling it with a fork! This way you're making sure everything is well combined.


3. Once your one-pan veggie mix is ready, add the rice you've cooked before and stir well. To give your rice bowl a more Asian taste, pour in some low sodium soy sauce.


 

That's super easy, right?

Well, you can really use whatever vegetables you like: you could also add some sweetcorn or zucchini! I just love how easy and #versatile these recipes are. 😍



Enjoy! 💖

I was in a hurry yesterday, in fact it has been a very busy morning and I barely had time to head home and prepare lunch before I went out again.


That's why I decided to make this healthier version of pizza: it's quick and easy to prepare and you can save a lot of calories just by making the simple swaps I wrote down below!




 

Ingredients:

  • 1 whole wheat tortilla

  • Tomato sauce (you can make it yourself to save extra calories!)

  • 30 grams shredded mozzarella cheese

  • Toppings of choice

Instructions:

  • Preheat oven at 180°C

  • Place the tortilla on a baking sheet, then start to garnish it!

  • Begin with spreading the tomato sauce on it, add some mozzarella cheese and then you can try every combination of ingredients according to your preferences! (Here I opted for some baby spinach and anchovies.)


 

Calories saved:

The tortilla brand I used for this recipe counted 250 calories, if we add the other ingredients, we reach 430 calories, whereas an average frozen pizza has minimum 600 calories (without any extra topping: just the crust, tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese).


Macro Sheet:

C: 46g

F: 18g

P: 19g


 

I hope you liked this healthy food swap! ❤

It really takes no effort to bake these yummy stuffed peaches! What's more, they're super low in calories and rich in micro nutrients!


Ingredients (3 yields):

  • 3 peaches

  • 160 grams ricotta cheese

  • Cinnamon

  • Brown sugar (as needed)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven at 150°C

  2. Mix the ricotta cheese with some sugar (I used about 15/20 grams) and the cinnamon in a bowl until well combined.

  3. Cut each peach in half, remove the core, line them on a baking sheet and sprinkle on some sugar. (1)

  4. Place a bit of the mixture on top of each peach

  5. Bake them in the oven for about 15/20 mins, until the sugar has melted.

  6. Garnish according to your preferences!


 

Here are some ideas about how you could garnish your peaches:

  • Crumbled amaretti

  • Crushed almonds (or nuts of choice)

  • Honey

  • Dark chocolate



This morning I went for crushed almonds and honey, but my granny usually uses crumbled amaretti and they taste even better! You know, no one cooks better than grand moms!❤



 

Still wondering about the calories? Don't worry!


Each Yield only counts 145 calories (no garnishment included, because cals vary based on your choices!) as well as:

  • 22-7 g Carbs;

  • 4.5 g Fat;

  • 5.6 g Proteins;

  • 8.9 g Potassium;

  • 16.1% Vitamin C!


 

I hope you guys enjoyed my very first recipe! See you soon ❤
