Urban Babes Hot Tip!

Hi Babes!

Here's something I recently read about consuming sugar that I thought you may find interesting and useful!

Today's Hot Tip- Always eat sugar with protein!

Never eat sugar on its own (including fruit and honey) always eat it with some protein and 'good fat' for example with a handful of nuts or a slice of meat or fish! This is because protein and fat slow the rate at which sugar floods into your bloodstream and if sugar hits your bloodstream quickly,you'll feel quickly high and then very quickly low.

Healthy Recipe: Dinner

Chicken Stir fry

My version!

The whip-it-up dinner, the go to, the best! For me a chicken stir fry is my favourite healthy dinner. Here's how I do it!

You'll need:
150grams chicken breast
1 Tablespoon of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Broccoli
1 Fresh Chilli (optional)
15 Almonds
Pinch of Pepper

Method:
1. Cut the chicken breast  into small cubes (2-3cm thick), heat the pan to Med- High. Add tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil to pan.
2. While chicken is cooking, chop up 3-5 stems of broccoli to the desired size. Dice the chilli into small pieces.
3.  Once the chicken is cooked through turn heat down to medium, add the broccoli and chilli to the pan
4.  Add the almonds in and give it one last big stir so they are coated in oil/ flavours stir until broccoli has softened.

Grab a bowl & a pair of chopsticks and voila! Your stir fry is complete!!!

Healthy Snack

In every snack I try to incorporate a good carb (fruit/ vegetable), a good fat and protein. I find this very refreshing and a great way to detox, flush out any bad foods I've consumed.

Fresh, clean, HEALTHY!

Healthy Recipe: Breakfast

This morning I needed a super kick start to the day and I made one of my favourite things in the world- Omlette!

Ingredients: 
1 egg yolk + 2 egg whites
1 chicken tenderloin
Spinach Leaves
Chilli

Yes, I said Chilli, not only do I love the stuff and eat it with most of my meals (if not all) it is really good for you!

Chillies Help to Burn Fat Chilli increases the metabolic rate, which aids in the fat burning process. Studies reveal that eating chillies can raise your metabolic rate by up to 23% for about 3 hours. 

You can read more from this article by clicking here.

Method:
1. Whip egg in a bowl and heat pan on low. Add pepper and little salt (if needed) to egg and use extra virgin olive oil on your pan.

Note: I used leftover chicken and was refrigerated. Cook a tenderloin before you cook the egg and slice/shred it to small portions and have it ready beside bowl.

2. Add egg to pan and add ingredients- chicken, spinach and chilli. You can some tomato, mushroom into if you like!

3. Let the omlette create a solid base and flip it in half so that it is closed or like a wrap.

4. Serve on plate and voila! You have a healthy, fast breaky to kick start your morning!
