10 HEALTHY CHEAP STUDENT MEAL IDEAS

Veggie rice burgers with some more veggies and baked fries. 

After eating these babies my friend Klara and I fell into a deep beautiful food coma while snacking my aunt's homemade cookies and having a proper girl-talk. It was a dream! Also always bake your fries never fry them. Trust me.

Lemon chicken with sautéed spinach

Just a few ingredients make a perfect meal. 

Eggplant courgette and parsley frittata with some more roasted courgette

Looks impressive, but it's basically an omelette. Chop and put everything except eggs into a pan for a few minutes. Then add eggs and just before they begin to fry put them into a heated oven. This thing makes people think that you know how to cook.

Leftover veggie burger balls, paprika roasted potatoes, boiled eggs and mixed salad

This is a well known "put everything you have in your fridge on a plate and impress your hungry friend" type of meal.

 Roasted courgettes and baked paprika potatoes salad

This is my version, but just bake or roast some veggies and throw them together with rocket, tomatoes and carrots. It's like eating eating a rainbow. 

Tuna salad with green beans, cabbage and carrots

I like tuna a lot although surprisingly I don't eat it as much since I've moved for Uni. But, when it comes to this dish, make sure you blanche your beans and then put them on a plate while they are still warm. It just makes it better.

Greek yoghurt with oats berries and honey

What can I say - it's a no-brainer breakfast or a snack.

Tomato soup

Anyone who knows me will tell you that I am the biggest soup enthusiast and this one is my childhood favourite. Onion and garlic go into a pan, followed by passata and chicken/vegetable stock, then put roasted tomatoes in as well. Finally blend it a little bit with a hand blender and put parsley on top. Pure perfection is what you just created my friend.

Oatmeal topped with kiwi cinnamon berries honey and dates

It's hard for me to choose my favourite breakfast but this on is in top 3 category. Put half a cup of basic steel cut oats ( I prefer steel cut ones, they get much more creamier than rolled oats ) and water, a lot of it. I usually keep on adding water during the time they cook. It helps them get super creamy. And then top it with any kind of fruit, dried berries, nuts you have. The options are endless, but peanut butter in oatmeal will blow your mind. Also don't let the amount of oats you put at the beginning scare you. Really little, goes a really long way when it comes to oats. 

Sautéed mushrooms risotto

This one looks more like mushrooms with rice, then other way around. 

It's all about treating your food as a medicine, that's it. If you have any questions, just comment below and I'll answer. :)

BREAKFAST CLUB

 Merry Christmas my little reindeers. :*

 I really hope you are happy on this fine day, wearing that Christmas jumper, eating cookies, opening presents and spending some quality family bonding time. I am currently siting on my sofa trying to recover from a horrible hangover and Christmas food overdose after I had the most amazing day with my favourite people. 

I am the biggest breakfast enthusiast you will ever meet. There are really only a few things better in this world then having your breakfast in bed. It doesn't even have to be morning for me to have breakfast. These are the kind of things I would eat at 3 am as a comfort food when I am having boy problems or a panic attack about University work. Sometimes I am in a mood for a mozarella omelette, sometimes for an oatmeal with raw cacao and banana, but these are all really healthy recipes. That is the only thing I care about when it comes to food in general - just healthy. My favourite thing on this planet is avo and feta cheese on toast. OH MY GOD! I have a love affair with avocados. Whenever they are on sale I make sure I buy fifteen of them and I am not even exaggerating. Just read the next few lines and you'll understand me.  

1. Eggs on toasted bread with feta cheese and parsley

2. Banana, avocado and raw cacao mousse topped with oats, cranberries and almonds

3. Mozzarella, feta and parsley omelette with tomatoes and toast

4. Oats with banana, kiwi, goji berries, raw cacao, honey and homemade fig jam and my favourite bliss balls ( recipe here )

5. Toasted bread with honey, kiwi and goji berries

6. Avo on crispy toast with feta cheese

Sounds delicious, right? :)

HEALTHY TREATS

Looks delicious, right? And the best thing about these bad boys is that they are sugar, dairy and guilt free, vegan and actually unbelievably good for you. 

I was inspired by a recipe from WNTLM, amazing blog by the way, but I didn't quite follow the recipe. I think that's what this is actually about, creativity, using whatever you like and have as long as it's sugar free and non processed. Also, please don't worry about the right measurements, because there is no such thing. This is what I did and what I used but you can do whatever you want. I just hope you'll get some inspiration from this. 

You will need:

- about 15 big medjool dates, more if they are smaller ( this is the base, so it's the only ingredient that's necessary )

- 1,5 handful of goji berries

- 1,5 handful of almonds

- 1,5 handful of cashews 

- 4 table spoons of raw cacao

- 2 tablespoons of coconut powder

- 1 big tablespoon of honey

1. Put everything you see above ( that's a cacao and coconut mixture right there, so don't get confused ) except honey into a blender. 

2. Now this already smells and looks like heaven. Put one huge tablespoon of honey into a mixture and let the messy part begin.

3. Create whatever the shape you want and then cover it with raw cacao or coconut, or mixture of both.

They are full of proteins, antioxidants, vitamins and they were gone in a day. My friends from Uni, my flat mates, my mom and my sister all loved them. I promise you they are "out of this world" kind of delicious and SO good for you.
