My quirky and absolutely healthy mid-morning breakfast today!  I call it quirky coz I tossed in some tortilla chips into my yoghurt for the crunch and saltiness that I craved for this morning. My first breakfast is always fruits on empty stomach followed by a cup of fresh milk with coffee half an hour later.  And the absolute first form of food that goes into my body every morning is apple cider vinegar and psyllium husk (concoction added with Ribena for ease of swallowing).  Yucky but works like a charm in combating constipation and for a flawless complexion.

Plain unsweetened low-fat yoghurt with chia seeds, toasted almond flakes, pumpkin seeds and organic tortilla salsa chips. Absolutely low in carbs and high in protein.   The zero-sugar tortilla salsa chips that tantalize my taste buds seem to be able to ward off my desire to have something sweet and sinful.

I made roast chicken and egg wraps for the girls’ lunch some time back but have forgotten to post about it until I went through my picture albums yesterday.

Wrapping up overnight meat with bread or wholewheat wraps is a super easy DIY meal which even your kids can help you with in the preparation.

I had some leftover roast chicken meat with me and since it was all chicken breast, which is the least popular with my girls, I decided to ‘recycle’ the meat. I chopped up some raw cabbage and small onions, squeezed in some Japanese mayonaise and mix everything up with the shredded roast chicken meat.  This is my first filling.

The second filling  is mashed hard-boiled egg with mayonaise and pepper.

On my sheet of Mission wraps, I spread the two fillings on it.

Then rolled the wraps up and toasted them for about 15 minutes.  They were really yummy and so easy to prepare since no massive cooking and oil splatter are involved. This is a no-sweat and no-brainer yet tasty complete meal.

Dessert was purple sweet potato sweet soup.

And so this was our very simple, wholesome and yummy lunch on a school-going day! The girls loved it!

Today is a Saturday but I got up at my usual time at 4:45am. Sherilyn has a school trip to Petrosains, KLCC and has to be in school by 7:30am. So it is a normal working day for the slave mom.

After hubs left the house with Sherilyn, I fixed myself a quick healthy breakkie.  But before my breakfast, the first thing that I consumed was a glass of apple cider vinegar with Ribena and psyllium husk.  Half an hour later, I ate an orange and half a mango.  And half an hour afterwards, I popped my multi-vitamins with milk.

My main breakfast today was a slice of Ryvita healthy crackers with sunflower seeds and oats with mil’s homemade marmalade jam and homemade nutty jam (almond + walnut + cashew).

It feels good eating clean.  My body feels great eating non-greasy, non-fried and sugar-reduced food.   Some of you would probably loathe at the sight of my kind of breakfast. But your body and taste buds can be trained to accept only healthy stuff.   If you eat only wholesome food, your body will start to reject junks after some time.  Remember, practice makes perfect.

You are what you eat.  So if you have not been eating clean, it is not too late to start now!  Say nay to junk food and yay to wholesome, healthy food!
