Smart snacks under 200 calories
I
read an interesting article about healthy snack choices to keep our energy and
blood sugar stable. There are some snack
ideas I've never thought of.

Made and drank another smoothie today. My second smoothie ever! Yesterday's smoothie was very brown. I wanted my smoothie with bright vivid colour same as the ones in recipe books. So, I dug out my bag of frozen cherries and added them into my smoothie. Well, you can see the result. The colour was not as beautiful as I wanted. The taste? Without banana, it's not as sweet as I wanted, either. I guess this is why people usually add banana inside their smoothies.

100 Happy Days Challenge - Day 38
Made and drank my first smoothie today. My friends were very surprised, or shocked when I told them I've never had a smoothie before. Well, some of them encouraged me to make one. I have apples, bananas and unsweetened almond milk at home so I made one.
It
was very sweet and it tasted good.

100 Happy Days Challenge - Day 37
Bought a pair of walking shoes for my mum for Mother's Day. Yes, I know it's a little bit early for Mother's Day. But my mum wanted a pair of walking shoes. So we went to the mall and got a pair she likes.
2
weeks later on Mother's Day, will my mum wear her new pair of shoes? Or will she wear them tomorrow?

What? January 21st is National Hug Day? Yes, I know.
But why not hug more? Many
studies have shown that hugging has a lot of health benefits for us.

100 Happy Days Challenge - Day 36
Shared some organic gluten-free fair trade chocolate bars with my relatives. The one I have here, according to the company Camino, is this year's best seller Butterscotch and Sea Salt.
Fair trade promotes farming practices for farmers to
1.
receive a reliable income
2.
earn extra money for their communities to build schools, roads etc
3.
protect the environment
If
the natural environment is being protected, farmers can keep on farming to
provide for themselves.
A
simple purchase of a fair trade product can enrich people's lives and protect the
environment. What a good thing many
companies have fair trade products.
I
should buy more Camino products.

100 Happy Days Challenge - Day 35
Found a 1L glass jar to make my first probiotic drinks. It was given to me from one of my friends a long time ago. It was a jar for organic kefir. After we found out one of our family members can't eat dairy products any more, we stop eating kefir. Well, she is not lactose intolerance. Her sickness prevents her from eating dairy products.
So,
we need to get probiotic from non- dairy foods.
If I want to make probiotic drink with quinoa, looks like it's better to
sprout my quinoa first before I make the drink.
Hmmm, how should I sprout quinoa?
Okay, another Google search for sprouting. How will I make this quinoa probiotic drink? I'll keep you posted, my friends.

Made Chinese Black Sesame Seed Porridge / Sweet Soup for the first time!!! Well, thank you for one of my Japanese friends taught me how to make brown rice flour. And, thank you for one of my friends from Hong Kong taught me how to successfully made this Chinese dessert. My mum and my sis loved it, too. I'm so proud of myself. Yes! Which Asian dessert should I make next time?
This
is how my friend says Black Sesame Seed Porridge / Sweet Soup in Cantonese.
