Yesterday afternoon, I was absolutely delighted that I found a place where I can buy nuts wholesale! So, without saying much… here’s what I got:

Taking off from my Tuna Burger recipe yesterday - I’m starting to explore new territory… Shakes!! I whipped up a quick shake this morning for breakfast.

Here’s what I put in it:

• Half green apple (cubed)
• Half slice pineapple (cubed)
• 1.5 scoops of Optimum Nutrition Whey Protein (Vanilla)
• Handful of Almonds (about 8 pieces)
• 2 tablespoons of Carman’s Muesli
• 1 glass iced Green Tea
• 5 ice cubes
• 1 teaspoon Melrose Organic Wheatgrass powder

Blend in a blender for 30 seconds - and done!!
It actually tasted pretty awesome!

Unfortunately, I am unable to analyze and provide you with the nutritional breakdown cos I live in a home, not a laboratory, but I do know for sure that this shake is packed with high-quality protein, fiber, good fats, antioxidants and more - and will beat any so called ‘healthy shakes’ you can possibly buy from any juice kiosk here in Malaysia.

I’m still trying to find combinations that I prefer the most… so until then… hop on, and be prepared to go on a roller-coaster journey of TASTE with me! :)

P.S. - I don’t know what to call this shake! Anyone wanna help me name it? And honestly… I had no intention of making it match the theme colour of my blog… I swear!

Looking forward to your replies…

Today’s post is gonna be really different - I’d like to share a recipe for making Tuna Burgers I tried lately (unfortunately I didn’t take pics!).

If you’re sick of eating Tuna out of the can… then this recipe is just perfect for you. Turn plain tasting canned tuna into a mouth-watering hot meal by just adding a few ingredients.

Tuna Burgers

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Makes 2 servings

Ingredients:

• 3 cans of Tuna chunks in water, drained (I used the TC Boy Tuna in Spring Water)

• 2 Tablespoons Wheat Germ
• 1 Large Green oOnion/or Red Onion (minced finely)
• 2 omega-3 Eggs, beaten
• 1 Teaspoon Soy Sauce
• Dash of Garlic Powder (McCormick Spices has this - you can get them at any Supermarket)
• Salt & Pepper to taste
• 2 Teaspoon Olive Oil

Instructions:

• Combine all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl - Use your hands and mix them well (wash your hands first alright?)
• Form into 2 or 3 large patties
• Use Cooking Spray on a non-stick grilling pan, and pan-fry the tuna burgers for approx 5 mins
• You’re done!!

The wheat germ and omega-3 eggs help to form a nice matrix for these burgers and add precious omega-3 fatty acids. This dish can be eaten be served with a salad, grilled vegetable, used in a sandwich - or just eaten plain.

What I like about this recipe is that the Tuna Burgers are really REALLY easy to prepare - looks really awesome in the end - and makes you feel like a chef. Try this.. and let me know how it goes! You will certainly impress your partner!

In my next few posts… I plan to highlight the various tools in the kitchen (like my awesome grilling pan I bought from Ikea, costs less than RM90), the various condiments I use, etc. Don’t forget to subscribe to my blog if you don’t wanna miss out!
