Easy to Make and Delicious Healthy Food.

Easy to Make and Delicious Healthy Food.

The idea of eating right can be a bit daunting to some of us, because we are unfamiliar with putting together tasty dishes to replace unwanted foods in our diets. It is also a common misconception that making healthy food is expensive and complicated. I believe we can all prepare healthy meals with ease, without compromising on taste and flavor. Here are some great dishes to make in little to no time, they are as healthy as they are delicious.
Greek Yoghurt Porridge with Honey, Banana and Almond:
 
The time it will take: 6 minutes.
What You’ll need:  1.5 oz porridge oats, 1 cup  semi-skimmed milk, 1 tbsp low-fat Greek yoghurt, 1 tbsp honey and a handful of toasted flaked almonds
