Summer, in Uk!

Recently it's been all about food and it kind of keep going with the same subject, because I actually had a picknick in a park. This means that summer arrived even here in London. Out of a sudden the winter weather turned out to be 27 degrees and hot burning sun, I even managed to burn my back while I was studying in the park.

I am hungry all the time, my stomach is bottomless. Even if I have increased my portion sizes since we started our "diet" since I am eating a whole lot more vegetables. Which is actually amazing, I am able to stuck myself full of food so often, I don't need to feel guilty of eating enourmous plates of food.

This afternoon we're heading to check out Planet Organic, in Tottenham court road. I have been there only once before when I discovered the shop and bought just aloe vera geL, but now I am going there to try out Loving earth raw chocolate bars! I am so exited, recently I've been eating only raw chocolate and it taste great and the best part is that I am not getting any allergic reaction of it!But back for yesterday's food, so I had banana, vanilla and strawberry protein smoothie. I cannot say how much I love this smoothie and it keeps me full such a long time. Usually I have this or banana, spinach and almond butter protein smoothie for my lunch and then for the dinner I prepare proper hot meal.

And not to forget my snack brake while studying, this is something I need a lot. Snacking while studying, without a snack I just can't do it. I had Emily fruit crisps, apple slices. Unfortunately if I open the package I don't have any control for muself, definitely I will finish the entire package. Well at least it is filled up with natural sugars and not refined sugars.

Zucchini Brownies

When it comes to desserts and sweet stuff I am hopeless, there is no way I can say no, unfortunately. I could live with pastries and desserts, but couple days ago I was watching Sarah's day on youtube and I got an Idea from her, to try homemade zucchini brownies

I didn't follow her recipe, since I didn't have all the ingredients she used in her brownies, but I did check Pinterest (again) for a recipe and I did modifyit a bit. Regular chocolate powder I changed for raw cacao powder and as a chocolate chips Inused also raw cacao nibs, otherwise I did follow the ingredients the recipe told me to use.

So the ingredients for my raw cacao zucchini brownies;

1 cup or 250ml of grated zucchini

1 smashed banana

1/2cup or 125ml of almond butter

1/4 or 85ml of agave or honey to sweetend the batter

2-3 tbsp of raw cacao powder or more if you like really chocolity

1 whole egg

1 tsp of baking powder

Cacao nibs as you think it's nice

Preheat the oven for 180 degrees

Smash the banana and add into the bowl with the graded zucchini and add all the rest of the ingredients. Mix well the batter, pour into a silicone mould or any kind of mould you are using to make the brownies.

And bake for  30 minutes. Let the brownies cool down and enjoy !
