Healthy Whole Grain Cookies with Nuvia Cafe. Perfect Breakfast!

Cookies..oh I love this word..cookies with coffee for breakfast... even better! These cookies are healthy, delicious without being very sweet and go perfectly with coffee in the morning. I like them a lot because you can make a large batch and store them in the fridge. They're the perfect snack. Yummy and very filing too.

Now let me tell you about this new brand of coffee I tried recently. I'm not a huge coffee maniac but still.. I do enjoy a good cup of coffee for once in a while. What I like most about Nuvia Café is its flavor! Being healthier and all it's a plus of course (it contains Ganoderma, African Mango and Pomegranate extracts) but that's not what I like most about it. This Sumatran Arabica Coffee has an amazing strong flavor. It smells delicious also and it has a yummy, thick foam which I love. So, if you usually enjoy strong, flavorful coffee this is just right for you! Check out their website for more info!

Try the recipe below and tell me how it was. What other healthy snacks do you think go well with coffee? I'd love to try other recipes also :)

Grated Apple with Honey and Walnuts - Healthy and easy dessert for breakfast

Today I woke up so tired...I immediately realized that I needed a lovely, high in vitamins breakfast to cheer me up.  I saw some apples and I remembered about my childhood dessert: grated apples with honey and biscuits. I didn't have any biscuits so I chose a healthier ingredient: raw walnuts. It was just what I needed! Easy, quick, healthy, sweet, crunchy...yum! 

Try it! It's low in calories, high in vitamins and it's ready in less than 5 minutes!

Baked Carrot Frittata

First of all, this recipe isn’t vegan. As you know I am not totally vegan and honestly I don’t think I’ll ever be. I love eggs and in my opinion there is absolutely nothing unhealthy about eggs as long as they’re from hens that were not given any growth hormones or that were not fed with chemicals. Fortunately, I have a family friend that has a countryside house and all my eggs come from her.

Now, there is a different story with store-bought eggs. I never buy eggs from the store because I know where they come from and there is nothing healthy about stuffed-with-hormones hens. All chemicals and hormones that were given to hens will be transferred to the egg and finally to you. I only recommend eating eggs that were bought from a safe source. Maybe you’re lucky and you’ll find a trustworthy farmer at your local farmers market.

This is a breakfast recipe for 3-4 people or 2 really hungry ones. (By the way, it is very difficult for me to decide how many servings a recipe has because I eat normal to small servings but my boyfriend eats up to three or even four times more than me. Yeah, he has a big appetite and a fast metabolism. Wish I was like that too.)
