Chicken & Mushroom Salad

Heyyyyyy,

This meal is as good as it looks! Creamy chicken and mushroom in my opinion is the best combination. Along with your protein this meal is also low in calories and provides you with greens and vegetables.
This is beautiful on both a hot and cold day.

Give it a go!

Peri-Peri Chicken Wrap

Peri-Peri Chicken Wrap

Helllooo to all of you food addicts,

This recipe is a great way to re-invent your old boring sandwich. In under 10 mins you can create a delicious meal you would find at a cafe. This is great to pack in the kids lunch box, or for yourself to take to work and university. By having home made food packed, this not only saves you money but also stops you from getting tempted into buying something from the food court.
The peri-peri sauce is a beautiful addition, but this also can be replaced by a sauce or your choosing.

Some motivation

Hey all!
So as we promised you on Twitter, we've made a little video to hopefully motivate you guys some more!

You can probably tell we've never made a video like this before, but hey we tried :P Anyway please don't judge us haha! We tried to show you how you can transform from being lazy and fat to happy and healthy once you start healthy eating and exercising :) Oh and we may have exaggerated with the results being so quick (24 hours? We wish!!) Here it is:

Thanks for following guys!

Fresh fruits that can be used

Pizza with no set topping

Homemade Pizza with as many toppings

How's it going wisefoodies? Reena here :)

The one thing I reckon we would both agree on it that pizza is a food for all! I mean you can put whatever topping you like on it, to suit you and if your friend doesn't like it, then they can put whatever topping they like on theirs'. No complaints and everyone is happy :) 

However takeaway pizza can be full of fat, sugar and salt.... I know it tastes great, and the whole point of it is when your lazy and can't be bothered to cook, just order and get it home delivered. Even I get lazy at times, so when I feel like eating pizza, just buy the base :) and the toppings well probs going to be in your kitchen anyway :)

TIME: 25 minutes

1 pizza base (I bought mine at the supermarket, the brand 'Mission")

500ml of tomato paste

A handful of mushrooms chopped finely

1 large broccoli chopped finely 

2 slices of ham chopped finely

A handful of sun-dried tomatoes chopped finely

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Here's how to make:

1) Preheat oven at 150 degrees Celsius

2) Spray a pizza oven tray with Canola Oil (or any Oil you have)

3) Spread tomato paste on the pizza base

4) Add all the ingredients onto the pizza with cheese being the last ingredient

5) Put in the oven to bake for 10-15mins, depending on how you like the cheese (I like it golden)

If you don't like any ingredients I have mentioned just replace it with what you like :) it's that easy!

Sorry wise foodies, I ate it all before I could take another pic :)

Berry Bonanza Smoothie

Mixed Berry Smoothie

Hey guys :) Steph again!

Lately I've been trying to find alternatives to ice cream for dessert. As a lover of plain yoghurt (the natural kind without any added sugar or flavouring) I found that having this with a bowl of fruit such as sliced banana and strawberries is sooooooo good! But for my latest post i figured why not make it into a super smoothie? I know some of you might hate skim milk, I used to as well, but once you make a conscious decision to switch to this milk after a while it's all you can have! But guys, you just can't go wrong with this fruity goodness. It's such a perfect summery drink too. Which for this hot Aussie summer I know you wisefoodies will need!

TIME: 5 minutes
CALORIES: 200

Here's what you'll need:

• 2 cups mixed berries (I used frozen ones)
• 1/2 cup skim milk
• 1 cup plain yoghurt

Here's how you make it:

1. Add all these ingredients together in a blender and blend! Voila!

Enjoy my wisefoodies :)
