Clean eating update and a quick recipe for an avocado salad.


Hi everyone. I must admit - I am really enjoying clean eating. I do have an odd slice of pizza sometimes, but 90% of my meals are healthy and nutritious. 
There is something about fresh fruit and veg that makes me happy and I just love it!
I am trying out some new oils and supplements as well and I will update you on that soon. I have been asked about my weight a couple of times, but I am planning to keep it to myself at the moment.  I am slowly reaching small goals and I am happy with that. It is a lifestyle change, not a quick fix. If you want to know what kind of food I have been eating for the past 2 weeks, have a look at the instagram pictures on the bottom of the post.

I also wanted to include a quick recipe for an avocado and tomato salad on a bed of chinese cabbage
It is really easy to make.

I diced a big avocado, 2 tomatoes and two garlic cloves and mixed them in a bowl. I added sea salt and black pepper and a generous squeeze of lime juice. You can also add Cantaloupe melon, but if you are not sure about eating tomato and melon at the same time, you can stick to avocado and  tomato :) To make the salad look more interesting I used two big leaves of chinese cabbage as a bed. You can pick them up with your hands and eat your salad without any cutlery :) Yummy! I topped it with basil leaves for decoration purposes :)


You can add diced Cantaloupe Melon if you like a little bit of sweetness in your salads. I love this combo!

Enjoy! :)
