Breakfast I can make: Layered protein jar

Breakfast - the most important meal of the day.

But somehow, I am not really found of this meal. It might be the fact that I did not know how to cook a nice one for myself, or simply my uncontrollable appetite once I start eating (so starting later in the day could limit the time I begin my endless devour of food).

Nevertheless, I do agree that one should consume a healthy breakfast daily, early in the morning. Today I am feeling extremely in the mood and creative, thus decided to give myself a nutritious breakfast (on the go!)


I used:
- Organic soy powder
- Strawberry jam
- Greek yogurt
- sun-dried blueberries

I did:
Spoon ingredients into jar in the order of soy > jam > yogurt > blueberries

Yes, it's just like that. I feel slightly idiotic even typing this out. 

The soy came from the soy milk that we made last night using the blender. They're basically just cooked powdered beans. I feel that they can be a very good oats substitute for people who wants less carbs in diet. Google tells me that the carbohydrate content in soy powder is only around half of that in oats and protein double.  

I'm loving this breakfast as it's extremely fast and convenient, only took 2 minutes of my morning. And when I screw on the lid it can be taken out and enjoyed on the go. Furthermore, all that protein gives me power and energy to tackle my day too!

Art in a cup: Coffee talk

I'm a coffee addict, seriously.

It all started in my university days, long lectures and meetings left me no choice but to start my long journey on the coffee path. But I'm a coffee addict who is poor and had little cash to spend in fancy coffee shops. That's when I decided to brew my coffee and froth my own milk.

I just used a petite wand frother from IKEA and some milk. After some playing around, spooning and scooping, I got this:

 and this:

So fun. Happy playing with frother! No skills required and a good way to spend a Saturday morning.
