Hina’s World: Couscous Kale Squash Salad

I saw this recipe in another recipe online, yet it was asking for 1 cup of brown sugar to the squash.  I thought that was way too sweet, and way too much sugar, so knowing me, and how I work, I experimented, and decided it would be worth it and see and substitute, and add the protein tri-sorb proprietary blend vi shake mix instead, and guess what?  it turned out beautifully, not to mention delicious!    Yeah, it had a sweet taste to it, and it’s a different kind of salad, but wow, oh wow! it was really good and another way to have this shake, with another recipe as people tell me, “I can’t have shakes all the time!  It’s exhausting.”   Well, I’m here to tell you, you can drink the shakes, or eat it, either way, it’s all protein, nutrition and all good for you.  Try this and trust me, it’s so good!      Hope you guys enjoy it!

Healthy dinner

Picture says it all.  

A healthy dinner brings forth a healthy mindset.  A healthy mindset brings a healthy lifestyle leading you back to healthy meals and snacks. 

Simple below are just one of the healthy meals I had today along with my family.  

Easy to prepare as I just drizzled olive oil on the baked beans with seasonings, sea salt and black pepper.  I also added some balsamic vinegar to it.  Very nice taste.  I also baked it in an oven on 450F wrapped in tin foil in a baking dish for 30-40 minutes. 

The chicken kabobs were premade, frozen which I just also baked wrapped in foil in a baking dish for 55-60 mins on 450F making sure to flip it around to cook all around inside. Then for the last 15 mins letting it broil to cook more on the outer part until golden brown.  

Then grilled bell peppers thinly sliced and drizzled with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper.  You can also use instead Himalayan pink salt which is healthier. 

Veggie sticks; I chose celery sticks and carrots.  If I only had some broccoli, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and cauliflower it would be nice. But these worked out too good as well.  

In the bowl is spicy yogurt which consits of 1/2 cup yogurt, 1/4 cup water, sea salt, black pepper, 1/4 tsp garlic ginger paste, lemon juice just 1 tbsp, and chopped cilantro, and 1/4th of an onion diced. 

It’s great for dipping for all; veggie sticks, grilled peppers, chicken kabobs and beans.  

Tastes delicious. Try it for yourself. Let your kids help you.   

Have an awesome week!    

Hina’s World: Rooh Afza Lassi Neon Vi Shake

IMG_0591 Rooh Afza is popular around Ramadan time for Sahur (pre-dawn meals) and for Iftar (after sunset meal) for the Muslims when they’re breaking their fast or about to start their fast.     I looked over the ingredients and saw it contained Rose, a pine called screwpine, and some fruit juices in it, combination of grapes, pomegrante, apples, berries, and pears.        The recipe found in the picture is how I made it, I usually make lassi in my home and fresh fruit juice too, so this particular lassi, contained the syrup, along with milk, yogurt, ice and water so it’s not too thick, and not too watery either, but just the right amount of taste and flavor.     I added the Neon to it in my own glass or my own 20oz water bottle.

I did see another recipe for Rooh Afza with a Pina Colada style, which I have yet to experiment and try for myself with the shake mix and Neon in it.  I am thinking of new recipes to try with the Neon, and with the Vi shake mix that is not already been added to the Vi-Recipes vault just yet.

Stay tuned.

Hina’s World: Ramadan Iftar – Breaking the Fast -Healthy Foods & Green Boost Vi Shake

FruitChaat_HealthyMealsPlatter

Clock wise: A plate of oranges cut up, fruit salad (chaat masala, sea salt, black pepper & orange juice as the dressing), 1 avocado cut up, 1 cantaloupe cut up, 1 bowl full of cherries, 1 cucumber sliced, 1 plate of dates, some potato/peas samosas. in the middle is water with cucumber slices, lemon slices, orange slices and ice, and then a green smoothie shake with kale, spinach, carrots, strawberries, blueberries, yogurt, milk, ice, vi shake mix and water. very delicious.

These past few days; I’ve been making the green smoothie vi shake juice a lot, with different fruits or veggies in it other than the carrots; yesterday it was celery, today it was apple.      Playing around with it, yet it still tastes really good, and a great way to get your kale, spinach, and salad in and energy as well.

If you would like to taste and try the shakes for yourself, just visit my website http://thelifebyvilife.com   and place your order with a Vi Shape Meal Replacement shake, the best part is if you refer 3 friends just to take the Challenge with you, you get your products for FREE.   You can try this recipe, or the several others that I have listed in this blog, and others that are found easily online too.

Mashed_ButternutSquash

Very simple easy recipe to make.

Take a butternut squash, place it in the oven on a baking sheet on 450’F for about 45 minutes.    Remove, and cut into slices, and remove the skin around it.         Place it back in the oven for another 15-20 minutes.    Remove and in a bowl, mash it up, add 1/2 cup of almond milk, 1 Tbsp brown sugar, 2 scoops of vi shake mix or any protein mix you prefer.   Mash it up.
Then add the Vi Bites – Fiesta Nut on top, and walnuts; and serve.   You can add other things, whatever you like.     This was very tasty, and another way to have the shakes.
