Swimming up an Appetite



Can you see me? I'm the speck off in the distance, making my way out to the pole. Had a beautiful swim in the bay this morning and gained a lot of confidence in the water. I'm guessing I swam close to 700m but the aim over the next few weeks is more to feel comfortable in the open water rather than setting any records.

I returned home with a mega hunger and thought I may as well make the most of a lazy Sunday and cook a Sunday-worthy breakfast - French toast with berries and chia yoghurt. It did not disappoint. Its a great source of low GI carbs with protein, zinc, 'good' fats and calcium. Whilst this dish sounds decadent, its still very healthy and certainly able to be eaten safely by those who are trying to shift some weight.

French Toast with Blueberries and Chia Yoghurt

Serves 1

2 Slices rye bread
1 Egg
2 Eggwhites
1T Soymilk
1/2c Blueberries (frozen are fine, just allow to defrost)
3T Goat yoghurt (or any plain yoghurt you like)
1t Chia seeds
Stevia or honey to taste

In a bowl whisk eggs, eggwhites and soymilk. Soak bread in egg mix for about 20 seconds on each side and place in to a hot pan. Cook until golden on each side.

While the toast is cooking, mix the chia with the yoghurt and add stevia or honey to taste.

Arrange the toast on the plate and scatter berries on top. Yoghurt can be served on the toast or in a little bowl.


Happy Sunday everyone!
