Red Sunday - Royal Fruit Salad

As I promised in one of my previous posts, I'm going to share with you my favourite recipes that will add bright colors to your diet.

Let's start from Sunday, it'll be totally RED DAY which means that in every meal we'll add some Red ingredients.

For your breakfast I suggest to prepare a king of the diet food - Royal Fruit Salad! It's simple, healthy and very tasty.

Fruit Ingredients:
strawberries
bananas
apples
honeydew melon
kiwi fruit
any other fruit you like :)

All fruits should be fresh and sliced.
I won't give you exact quantities as I think everyone has his own preferencs.
If you're a big fan of strawberries (as I am), don't hesitate to make it the main component of the salad.

The secret of this recipe is in its dressing. 

You'll need for it:
juice of 2 limes
3 tablespoons of berry juice 2 teaspoons of chopped mint leaves

Toss together all the fruit ingredients in a large bowl. In a small bowl, combine lime and berry juice, add mint and stir.
Cover with this dressing the fruits in a large bowl.

This Royal Fruit Salad can be easily made into filling breakfast by adding some plane nonfat yogurt and granola.

Enjoy your red & healthy breakfast!

Beauty Salad - Russian Women Ultimate Morning Snack

Here's one of the Russian women's beauty secrets - the Beauty Salad - the most healthy breakfast you can ever think of. It's called the Beauty Salad because it's good not only for your weight but also for your skin! And it is really easy to prepare.

All you need for the Beauty Salad is:
* 1/2 glass of oatmeal
* 1 apple (preferably green)
* some peeled walnuts
* 1 teaspoon of honey

The night before you're going to have your Beauty Breakfast, cover the oatmeal with 1/2 glass of cold water. The next morning grater an apple into the bowl with the oatmeal, add walnuts and honey and mix it all together. That's the basics.

If it seems a little bit boring to you or if you're having this snack every morning and want some change, you may want to try adding some new flavors into the salad. I'm a big fan of strawberry, so I often add it to my Beauty Breakfast. You can also add some lemon juice, kiwi, banana and any other fruit you like.

There's also a possibility to use 1/2 glass of kefir (which is actually kind of plain natural yogurt with no flavorings) but it's a matter of taste.

That's all - try it out and enjoy your personal Beauty Salad!
