My favorites. QUESTBAR

As you may know I ordered 5 QuestBar's few weeks ago.  It was the first time cause I never tried them before!

I haven't tried them all because I wanted to be sure that I like them, so this is why I picked up just 5 different bars:

• Double chocolate chunk
• Chocolate peanut butter
• White chocolte raspberry
• Cinnamon roll
• Chocolate brownie 

To be honest, I liked them all! But some more and some less.

Like I said I had only 5 and my favorites were: chocolate peanut butter, double chocolate chunk and chocolate brownie. Yes. I LOVE chocolate! Hahah. The taste is SO amazing, it's like you really eat a brownie (chocolate brownie) but it's way more healthier and this is also what I love about QuestBar. The others were good but the white chocolate for example was too sweet for me. So my conclusion is that QuestBar is just awesome! Can't wait to try the others :)

Here are the favs again:

Protein pancakes.

What is the best post workout meal?! Exactly,  protein pancakes.

I came home from gym and I was craving something sweet but instead of eating chocolate or other unhealthy stuff, I made ppancakes (protein pancakes). I threw everything together and this is what came out *.* DELICIOUS!!!

You will need: oats, flour,  protein powder, 1 egg, a banana and milk.

First mix all the dry ingredients. Then add the egg, 1/2 of the banana (mashed), milk and mix it very. Now you can fry them on a low heat till it's light brown or longer. It depends on how you like them.

Now you can decorate...
I put some lf quark, honey, organic peanut butter on top and the other half of the banana on the side (sliced).

♡

QuestBar.

Guys, guess what?!?! I finally got my long-awaited QUESTBARs!
If you follow me on instagram (thehealthy_me), you may know that I always wanted to try these bars but I just couldn't find them in any stores here in Germany.

Well, now I know...here's NO store that sells QuestBar. Unfortunately :( BUT there's a thing, called Internet!!!
Haha. So I decided to order some and give them a try.
I already tried some protein bars and they were really good but I also heard a lot of good stuff about QB soooo I hope the money is worth it.

Here are some pics of these 5 bad boys.

Veggie soup.

If I don't want to cook something and I'm really hungry, I make a soup.  Haha. It goes fast and it's really good annnd healthy! That's the main point :D

You only need 4 ingredients:

Vegetable stock, one carrot, brussel sprouts and one egg.

You cut the carrot and the brussel sprouts in small pieces, put them into the hot water with the vegetable stock and cook it till the consistency is perfect for you. (5 - 10 min). At the end you just add the egg and stir it.

Enjoy. ♡

Falafel.

Today's Saturday and that means rest day AND baking!!
I was in the  mood to make Falafel cause I   wanted them so freakin' much and it's really easy to make.

What you need is:
chickpeas, a whole grain toast, garlic, onion and A LOT of spices.

How to make:
It's better if you leave the chickpeas in water overnight so you can process them better. You put the chickpeas in the blender and blend it just for some seconds till it's smooth but not too smooth. Then you add the whole grain toast, onion (cut in little pieces), garlic and spices and blend it till it's all smooth.
After that you just make some little balls and put them on the plate and squeeze a little. 15-20 minutes (if they're gold brown) in the oven and you can eat them.

Like I said it's really simple to make and the taste is peeerfect! :D

Enjoy.♡

Breakfast.

One of my favorite parts of the day is definitely the morning not because I need to get up very early (I hate it), it's because of the breakfast ♡ I just loooove it.
I mostly eat oats with any kind of fruits. Here I have 2 pics of how my breaky looks like.

The first one:
Oats mixed with a lot of cinnamon and a little honey. I topped it with banana slices,  organic peanut butter and also some raisins and almonds. It's really one of my favs!

The other one:
Oats mixed with honey and topped with apple,  raisins and almonds. 

If you wondering how I do my oats. I just add low fat milk to my oats and microwave it for one 1 min or more. Then I add honey/cinnamon or whatever I want and that's it. Easy to make and tastes amazing.

Back on track.

Long time no posts here.

Sorry.

But here I am again. Lol.
The reason why I had no time to post something was...well there were many things. Anyway long story short I haven't been to the gym for about 3 months until now. I ate a lot of crap cause of Christmas and you know...all the good food.
So yesterday I went to the gym for the first time after the long break and it was good to be back. I really missed it!
Now I try to get my my body back. Because summer is sooooon.
OK not really but it's better to start early than late :)

I will post more from now on.
I promise :D

Bad times.

If you follow me on instagram, you may know that I've been to Italy the last week. I had a fanstastic week there with lots of yummy foods, sun, beach, nice people and so on. The key word here is FOOD. I know that people say if your're on vacation try to forget about this whole workout/ healthy eating thing. Well, it's true! I tried my best to not eat pizza, gelato (italian ice cream) or cookies everyday because I knew and know that these aren't the healthiest choices. To be honest I ate pizza only 2 times when I was there like gelato, too. The first time I ate pizza was only one slice but the second time I ate around 3 huge pieces and the gelato wasn't healthy at all.
Long story short I gained weight in this one week. 2 kg!!! I was so shocked when I came home and weighed myself. I knew that I gained weight but not that much. Ok I did not  worked out while I was there besides swimming in the ocean so that was clear that I would gain weight. The sad thing is that when I came home I stayed at the "unhealthy eating" and did not worked out. 
2 days ago was my 20th birthday so I (of course) ate a lot of cakes and drank alcohol. All in one I gained 3 kg in the past 2 weeks. I just don't know what to do with my life. I know it sounds weird but me as a healthy person and very sporty girl to do this I mean eat tons of unhealthy food and do not work out IS horrible and I already see the results of it. My belly isn't that fat anymore than it was and I just feel so uncomfortable with my body. 

So I made a plan to start on monday next week. I will get back on track! To lose weight I'll do a lot of cardio like running because I got my new Nike free's for my birthday and I just can't wait to try them.
I will post a before and after pic of myself later here. At the end of August! I promise :)

<3

Healthy smoothie.

Just made the best smoothie ever and it's also healthy.

You will need lots of frozen fruits.
Frozen raspberries, watermelon, peach, spinach and kale.
& fresh strawberries. Put them all in a blender and add some soy milk. You can use other milk as well. Blend it and voila. The healthy smoothie is ready to drink.

Workout routine.

So this is my first workout post here on my blog. 

I usually try to go to the gym as often as I can like 5/6 days in a week but sometimes only 4. This week I've been everyday because I'm leaving tomorrow night.
I'm going to Itaallyyy! Super duper excited about that trip but I'm also a little scared to gain weight because I can't workout for 10 days!!! :(
Anyway I try my best to stay heathly, go hiking, swimming in the ocean, eat healthy like fresh fruits and veggies.
Now to my workout routine: When I started going to the gym this year in January I did a lot of cardio like running, spinning and I've been on the cross trainer. What I wanted is just to loose weight as fast as I could and it really worked. I never did strength because I was so afraid to gain weight because muscles are heavier than fat you know.
As I said I did lost weight but I didn't liked my body. I was just thin. No muscles at all so I started with doing more strength. I started with light weights like 2-3kg and increased further and further and guess what?! I really enjoyed it!
Now I still do cardio but only just 30 minutes to warm up a little and then I'm doing 1 1/2 hours of strength. My body looks way better now then it did before. I still do go running because it's my favorite kind of workout but only 2-3 times a week and by running I mean long distances (6-10km).

that's meeee :)

Yogurt junkie.

So this what I usually have for dinner: low fat yogurt with quark and cottage cheese. I also mixed it with whole grain flakes, some almonds and a little honey. I know it looks disgusting, awful...just not good. Lol. But it really is one of my favorites! I love it so much. ♥

I'm such a yogurt junkie! Haha.

Protein pancakes ♡

Just made the best protein pancakes ever!!! They tasted SOOOO damn good.
I tried to make some protein pancakes before but they've never been so perfect like these little boys today. You really need to try them. It's really simple and very delish!

Recipe:

What you need:  

• 1 whole egg
• 1 tsp vanilla protein powder 
• 1 tsp wheat flour (You can use another flour, that's what we had at home so I used it)
• 1 tsp oats
• 1/2 cups milk of your choice. I used chocolate soymilk 

Preparation:  

   

Mix all the ingredients together and fry them in a pan. I made them in the microwave because it's easier, it goes faster and you don't need oil to fry so it's also a little healthier.  

I had 4 layers. On the first one I put some quark. Second 1 tsp of honey. Third 2-3 tsp of low fat yogurt and on the last one I put 1 tsp of organic peanut butter and 1 tsp of honey. Also had some cottage cheese on the side with cinnemon and 1/2 peach but you can use other fruits as well.

Vegan burger + stomachache

Hey guys!
Sorry for not posting that much lately. I've been a little busy with finding and looking for the perfect university for me cause I wanna have a good one you know?! :)

Anyways, I've been to Berlin today with a good friend of mine. We were at a museum/exhibition and to be honest I really liked it. It was very interesting!
After that we went to a vegan restaurant and I ordered an Italian burger with spinach, tomatoes, mozzarella and onions in it and also had some delish healthy fries. It was really one of the best burgers I have ever eaten in my life. It was SO good!!!
Buuuuuttt after that my stomach started to hurt so bad that I had problems to sit and I thought I'll die! Hhaha really it hurt so bad you can't even imagine. Actually I saw this happen because my stomach is very sensitive and I ate things that I never eat like bread or potatoes/fries. It was definitely not good for my stomach. Also had an ice cream with a hot caramel sauce after that. Poor poor stomach lol.

Nevertheless it was a beautiful day. <3
