I Give in to my Cravings: Pinoy Snacks

The thought of snacking "biko" was on my mind for the whole week and I can't last another day without giving in to my cravings so; when I checked my pantry today, I was in great joy that I have all the ingredients. If you are curious how to make #biko , check it out in YouTube.

Do you love my apple mug? Very cute huh? This is one of the many fall collectibles of Better Homes products. I bought three mugs and they are all cute as a pumpkin (*v*)

My day is complete after I ate my Pinoy snacks, the biko and the sweet mango. My smoothie is not at all Pinoy hehehe. It is blueberry and banana smoothie which is very yummy and healthy. Want some? Thanks for stopping by always. I will see you around.

Yogurt Parfait n' Muffin at Cracker Barrel

I always enjoy road trips especially when hubby and I are taking the scenic routes. The last long road trip that we have had was last October and it was amazing that for 9 months to this date, we never have one after that. You know the reason why? We are enjoying our time exploring our new neighborhood and almost everyday, we take the time for short road trips instead. Two hours the most and we love driving down the Space Coast even at early morning watching the sunrise by the Indian River or walk down the beach to have a glimpse of sunset by the sea. Of course, dining is part of traveling isn't it?

Here is my favorite breakfast at Cracker Barrel: a Yogurt Parfait n' Muffin which is a mix of Low-Fat Vanilla Yogurt, seasonal fruit topped with Honey Oat Granola mix of almonds and dried fruit plus the yummy Wild Maine Blueberry Muffin. This is such a delightful breakfast right? Have a wonderful Thursday y'all.

Berries for a Nutritious Breakfast

Do you love fruits? I love fruits and I usually ate them during breakfast. I choose the ones that I can easily eat and doesn't need time to prepare. Here's some berries that I took a picture before I gobble them LOL. Enjoy these berries everyone. Do you like Raspberry? Raspberries are rich in vitamin C, manganese, dietary fiber, Vitamin B, folic acid, magnesium as well as iron.

While Blueberries contain anthocyanins, other pigments and various phytochemicals, there is evidence that this fruit improves memory. There is also under preliminary research for their potential role in reducing risks of diseases such as inflammation and cancer. It is one of the highest antioxidant capacities among all fruits and vegetables. Antioxidants are essential to optimizing health by helping to combat the free radicals and blueberries provide the greatest nutritional benefits.

The edible fruit below is blackberry. Blackberries are healthy antioxidants and rich in nutrients. It is known to contain a compound called salicylic acid which has been proven to numb bodily pains and treat unusually high body temperature or fevers. Fiber is important in maintaining a healthy digestive system because it pushes toxins and other excess waste through the intestines and supports healthy and bowel movements. One of the soluble fibres found within blackberries is pectin which helps lower harmful cholesterol levels which lowers ones’ chances of heart disease.

You can eat them raw or add it in your cereal. Whichever way you feel, fruits are nutritious food to include in your daily diet. Stay healthy everyone and thanks for stopping by.

Whenever we dine out at OLIVE GARDEN, I usually order the Blueberry Fresca. This is such a thirst quenching drink that I learn to love over and over again. You should try this drink because it's fruity and so yummy and way better than sodas!
