Protein powder yogurt ice cream

This will drive you insane, the taste and also when you come to know the ingredient list :P

So today I had a fulfilling breakfast and I was feeling full all the way till 4 o clock in the evening. Even then I didn't want a meal as such so I skipped my lunch. But you can crave for a dessert any time right :P

I am trying to eat clean until I see my extra unwanted pounds added upon my trip is burned out. So decided to stick to a dessert that won't ditch the diet. Also I wanted to mention a point here. I don't do any crash diet and I want my body to come to normal by eating clean than torturing it. I have done many times the crash ones to get back to my normal weight, it did help to reach there, but I was putting my body and metabolism on stake. I decided, no more playing with health, but eating clean and healthy would help you to reach the goals.

Also I stopped calorie counting, and I am just listening to my body now. It craves for something give it, and eat when it feels like.

This dessert will make sure your daily protein, healthy fats and antioxidants added up for the day.

Side note :

Nouriza my first protein Chocolate flavour is the protein powder I use as post workout drink. I see that my protein intake was too low and hence added this to my daily diet. Epigamia greek yogurt is plain one I use, as I don't like artificially flavoured ones. This can be used to customise our favourite sweet or savoury yogurts. It is again protein packed with low fat.
Raw cocoa nibs is from Amazon (Healthy Buddha Organic Raw Cocoa (Cacao) Nibs (150GR), which is available in Bigbasket too. But I got a margin in Amazon, so bought from there.

Inji curry - Ginger curry pickle

Inji curry is one among the dish in any Kerala Sadya spread and it is called with a name " nooru kootan" in malayalam to give the impression of impact of this dish. It means equivalent to 100 curries. You can see this man in every sadya holding the first place in the plantain leaf and is served first in the leaf based on some belief I guess. I m a big fan of Kerala sadya, of course a foodie like me loves every food and how can I miss our own Sadya, which is supposed to be the biggest spread in terms of number of side dishes and rounds it carries. A few things to make you understand about the rounds of sadya; I m from the south part of Kerala, Trivandrum which is the most famous place for veggie sadya in plantain leaf. The Sadya here consists of at least 20 side dishes in on side of leaf with Pappad, chips, fried chilly, and one side is reserved for the rounds of rice. First round of rice starts with moong dal curry and ghee. Yet another specialty of Trivandrum is this ...

Pidiyum Tharavu Mappasum - Rice dumplings and Duck curry in coconut milk

My Christmas 2017 was based on traditional dishes of Kerala. You would be very familiar with the name Pidiyum Kozhiyum, which is of course one of the favorites at my home. This time I thought, let me make some difference in usual culture and thought to accompany Pidi with Tharavu mappas, which is Duck curry in coconut milk. Duck is my favorite too, and Duck items would be in my Christmas spread always. I started the day with Duck stew, which is another authentic dish of Kerala. Of course again, coconut milk, coz as Mallus we just go on lavish with Coconut milk :D This recipe is common in Christian families and a breakfast item. I being a Hindu has explored these things after my marriage, where I had a big kitchen for experimenting my things. Indeed to say, that was my experimentation lab which has gained me confidence to cook and take my passion along the way, and of course my audience has changed now, their count is more and the youngsters are ready to try out all new researches. ...

Oats chocolate chip cookies with peanuts

This is the the richest cookie I have ever made. It is loaded with all that i love, peanuts and chocolate in whatever form it can exist. When it was baking in the oven my little cat was making a visit to the oven multiple times to check it's done.
