This is a pretty simple recipe that can be 'sassed' up by any other ingredients of your choice but for the main dish ingredients I have put together a little recipe for you. 

AND 

2 chicken breasts

1. So the first step is to peel and chop your sweet potato into cubes, not too small but not too big, then put them onto boil. Just to make them softer before adding it to the rest of the dish
2. Chop up the rest of the ingredients and dice the chicken. 
3. Using oil, (I used coconut oil but you can use any type of oil) fry the onion and pepper al dente (oh fancy vocab shan) then add the chicken and fry until the chicken is cooked throughout. 
4. Take your peas and broccoli and put them onto boil for around 5 minutes. (until starting to soften)
5. when the chicken is cooked through, add your quinoa with 1 -2 cups of water to the chicken and let it simmer until the quinoa is cooked. 
6. The 5th step can be quite tricky to work the quinoa:water ratio so if you don't want to do it that way, cook the quinoa in a separate pan, drain it, then add it to the chicken, onion and pepper mix.
7. Next, add your sweet potato, broccoli, spinach, peas and kale into the mix and let it simmer away for 10 minutes on a low heat. 
8. Serve it up still hot and enjoy!

You can literally add any vegetables you want into this dish, and also you can use vegetable stock for the quinoa to simmer in for extra flavour. 

This dish works perfectly with frozen vegetables which means can easily be affordable us students out there because most of the time frozen veg is cheaper than fresh veg, but can be just as nutritional! ( its just the quinoa that can be a tad pricey, well for a students budget anyway...) 

This amount lasted me for 4 meals, I just dished it into tuppa wear and put it in the fridge for the next couple of days.

All Things Green...

Anyone that knows me, will know how much I love my smoothies and juices esp green ones, so this is the average green smoothie I normally make at home.

I use the Breville Blender which at first was a total impulse buy but has definitely become a worthy impulse buy, it’s super awesome and not expensive. I got mine off amazon for £22 but they usually range from £20-£35 depending on the type you get mine is the Blend-Active Personal Blender. It’s so easy and convenient, the bottle it’s all blended in is the same bottle you can drink it from, you just change the lid from the blade blender lid to the drink lid, with very little washing up (always a bonus for a student).

In this smoothie, I have put in:
1 handful of spinach
2 table spoons of low fat natural yoghurt
Half an avocado
Handful of ice cubes
1 Apple

It’s not the sweetest of smoothies so you could add lemon juice or honey for sweetness but I prefer mine unsweetened.

The smoothies can also be quite stodgy so I sometimes add either skimmed milk or water to loosen the mixture to make it blend better into a smoothie.

You can put anything in a smoothie and make your own recipes I try to make at least 2 or 3 of these type of smoothies a week because it’s a fab way of getting the greens in your body in a different form to just eating them in meals.
