Lunch with avocado and roasted peppers wrap!

Today I had to think of a lunch I could pack up and go easily without fuss but without either compromising the quality flavor and nutrition of my meal.

Therefore I mashed up an avocado I had in the fridge, added a spoonful of tahini, a little fresh onion, quite a lot of lemon, salt and pepper and a touch of cumin.

Meanwhile I through a couple of bell peppers in the oven and roasted them for 10-15 min after lightly sprinkling them with a few drops of olive oil.

I then covered a large Arabic pita with a layer of the avocado mixture. I topped it up with pieces of my roasted peppers and some freshly cut coriander and cherry tomatoes. I spread thinly cut lettuce on top of everything and wrapped it in a cylinder.

And VOILA!! A tasty, nutritious wrap to grab and go!



Notes:
*This would also taste exceptionally in Paphitiki pitta!
*Pretty much any vegetable would be perfect to add to this wrap (a version I tried once with mashed green peas was very filling and tasty)

Dinner with zucchini and kale

Tonight I had an amazing combination of flavors for dinner, thanks to my friend Mahi for passing me these magical recipes. (I highly recommend checking out Pure & Simple cooking book by Brahma Kumaris)

Zucchini Mash


I steamed 2 large zucchinis and then blend them in a food processor.
I then added a bit of oil in a saucepan and added 1/4 cup of flour.
Aftern blending well the two ingredients I added the zucchini.
I then made a mixture of 1/2 c. of chopped walnuts, 2 tbs tahini, a little lemon juice, chili flakes, cumin and pinch of salt. (Mahi mou I used your advice on the tahini instead of yogurt and transformed the recipe into a vegan one)

Kale with Pine Nuts and Raisins


I boiled my kale in a bit water. 
I then toasted a few pine nuts and after removing them I added a couple of tbs of olive oil. 
I tossed in the kale and mixed well. I then added the pine nuts, 2 tbs of raisins and some lemon and adjusted salt and pepper to taste.


YIAAAM! 

Heaven in a cup!



This morning I had an amazing vision of a simple and nutritious breakfast: 
I grabbed a couple of bananas, threw in a few pieces of some frozen ones - I always keep some in the freezer - and a spoonful of homemade peanut butter. 

Truly a miracle. Tasted like a thick vanilla milkshake! 
And all these with the benefits of ripe bananas and freshly ground peanuts. 
A must try! 

Note: If you like your smoothy thick, be generous with the frozen banana pieces
