Healthy Yogurt Parfait

There are times when you just don’t have time prepare breakfast but you all already know that Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and should never be skipped! What I usually do is assemble a quick Parfait because oh god I love parfaits! ❤️

It’s easy to make, LOADED with vitamins and proteins, keeps you full for a good while and of course is super delicious. 

You don’t need any special ingredient for this and it can be eaten any time of the day! 

Here’s what you’ll need: 

Fruits: ANY 

I chose – 

1 apple 

1 banana 

1 kiwi 

1 pear 

4-5 Digestive multigrain biscuits

1 bowl low fat yogurt 

1 teaspoon sugar 

How to make: 

1. Chop up the fruits into very small cubes and in the yogurt add a spoonful of sugar and whip it. 

2. Using a rolling pin break the biscuits into small crumbs. 

3. In a glass jar or a broad wine glass, put the sliced banana as the bottom layer. 

4. Top it up with 2 spoons of biscuit crumbs followed by a couple spoons of yogurt. 

5. Repeat the same procedure with other fruits forming layers of fruits followed by biscuit crumbs and yogurt. 

6. Once the glass is full add a layer of biscuit crumbs and a couple pieces of fruit to decorate it. 

It’s ready! 

PS: you can prepare this a night before and refrigerate it. However if you choose to use granola or any cereal instead of biscuit crumbs it’s better if you consume it right after preparation. 

Crispy fish with mashed potatoes

I’m not a fan of eating fish but it is a great source of protein, omega 3 fatty acids and a bunch of vitamins. Fish is a low calorie nutrient packed food that should be a part of our diets for a good healthy body. 

I keep pushing myself to buy fish and experiment with different cooking styles so I can finally make it a part of my regular diet. This time I tried a marinated fish fry recipe with garlic mashed potatoes. It’s a bit fatty since I chose to fry it instead of grilling, but trust me it will taste as good if you use grill. 
You will need: 

Fish fillet (any white fish of your choice) 

Low fat butter 

Garlic (8-10 cloves) 

Rice (2-3 tablespoons) 

lemon (1)

potatoes (4-5)

Cheese (1 small cube)

Olive oil 

Salt 

Pepper
How to cook: 

1. In a small grinder, squeeze one lemon and add 3-4 cloves of garlic. Add 2 teaspoons of butter in the same. Blend until a smooth paste is ready. 

2. Take the fish fillet and make deep cuts on it. I chose to cut up the fillet into smaller pieces. 

3. Take the butter garlic paste you just prepared and marinate the fish with it. Don’t worry if you have to get your hands dirty. 

4. Sprinkle salt and pepper onto the marinated fish and refrigerate it for 2-4 hours. 

5. While the fish is in the refrigerator, boil the potatoes. 

6. Once boiled and cooled, put them in a large bowl and mash with a fork. 

7. Add grated cheese, garlic and a spoonful of melted butter in the mash and mix well. 

8. Add salt and pepper to taste. 

9. In a small grinder, put rice and blend until a fine powder is formed. This I use as an alternative to bread crumbs because rice crumbs give a super crunchy texture upon frying. 

10. Since the fish is already coated in a butter paste, it can directly be coated with the ground rice. 

11. Heat some olive oil in a pan for 10 minutes and add the rice coated fish pieces to it. 

12. Cover the pan with a lid and let it fry for 15 minutes on one side. Flip the pieces and put the lid back on and keep for another 10-15 minutes. 

13.  Serve with the mashed potatoes once done. 

Enjoy! 🙂
