Huevos Rancheros

Out of my comfort zone! It's time to try something new, something exiting, something I'm not very familiar with.
I've never made poached eggs before, so this was the perfect opportunity to try!
This dish is wonderful and healthy and my boyfriend and I liked it both sooo much it won't be long before we're making this again <3.
The great thing about this dish is that it's both suitable for vegetarians and non-vegetarians.
In this version I added some chorizo, but it's also amazing without any meat!

Ingredients: 
- 2 cloves of garlic (peeled, thin slices)
- A bunch of spring onions (thinly sliced rings)
- 1 red & 1 yellow bell pepper (cut into thin strips)
- 3 red or orange chili peppers (thinly sliced rings)

- 4 big eggs
- 4 tortillas
- 1 lime (juice)
- 1 ripe avocado (slices)
- Pepper
- Salt
- Chorizo (80g - pieces) - optional
- Olive oil - optional

• If you choose to use chorizo, bake the chorizo in the oven or in a pan with a little bit of olive oil and add it to the mixture later
• Stir the slices of garlic, spring onion, bell peppers and most of the chili peppers in a big pan for about 10 minutes, until they're soft
• Add the tomatoes to the mixture and mash them
• Add the canned beans and their fluid and let it cook on medium heat for about 10 minutes until the sauce has thickened
• Add pepper and salt as you prefer, and add the baby spinach and wait for them to shrink
• Take a spoon and make dimples in the sauce, break the eggs on top of them
• Put a lid on the pan and wait for about 3 to 4 minutes to poach the eggs
• Serve everything in a bowl or on a plate and serve the tortillas, the lime and avocado with it

Superbowl nr. 7 - Yoghurt & Strawberries

This is one of the simplest Superbowls I've made so far.
Strawberries are great as they boost your immunity and they help fight cancer. They don't contain much sugar and are a source of anti-oxidants and vitamin C. When it's not the right season to buy fresh strawberries, you can use frozen ones. The frozen ones also keep your smoothie cool!
The second version of this Superbowl is exactly the same, only I put some granola into this one for a crunchy effect :)

Ingredients:
- banana (chopped)
- Strawberries (8 pieces)
- Milk of your choice (30ml) - I use almond milk

- Almonds (2tbs)
- Maple syrup or Honey (1tbs)
- Coconut powder (optional)
- Granola (optional)

• Mix the banana, yoghurt, maple syrup/honey, milk and 5 of the strawberries in a blender
• Pour the mixture in a bowl and sprinkle the quinoa flakes and almonds over the mixture
• Cut the rest of the strawberries in slices and put them together with the almonds on top of the mixture
• Sprinkle some coconut powder on top if you want to
• Add some granola for a crunchy effect if you like to!

Superbowl nr. 6 - Banana meats Peanuts

When I was younger, I really didn't like peanut butter, but now I've really learned to appreciate it, and this mixture is a real pleasure!
Peanuts are very good for your cardiovascular system and they contain good proteins. I recommend using pure chocolate for this recipe because it contains a lot of magnesium which is good for reducing stress and fatigue.

Ingredients:
- Peanut butter (1tbs)
- Milk (2dl)
- 1 banana (chopped)
- Chocolate (1tbs - chopped)
- Cane sugar (1tbs)
- Unsalted peanuts (chopped)
- Other nuts (optional)

• Mix the banana, milk, peanut butter and cane sugar in a blender
• Pour the mixture in a bowl and sprinkle the chopped peanuts and chocolate chips on top of it
• Add other nuts if you want to
• You can also put extra parts of banana on top

Enjoy!
