The FittyGalz 1 year Anniversary Recipe Book – FREE 5 Recipes under 450 calories!

Featured / fittygalz / Leave a comment

You guys! 1 whole year, 365 days since the FittyGalz account has been created and that we shared our first post ever!

Before creating Fittygalz, Yasmine and I were on a quest to lose weight and have been on a weight loss journey since 2014 – at the end of 2016 after successfully losing weight, life happened and we put some pounds right back on. Needless to say we needed to go back to “dieting”. But that word just didn’t feel right, we did not want to diet, we didn’t want to restrict ourselves to specific foods and we wanted to enjoy life no matter what!

And so the research began! We were looking into the healthy scene, read a few books, watched documentaries and most importantly: LISTENED to our BODIES. I can’t even stress to you guys how IMPORTANT that is.

Long story short, we started prioritizing healthy foods, cooking from scratch and NOT restricting ourselves. Every day, Yasmine and I used to ask each others “What did you eat today?” and we were inspiring each others with recipes, tips and tricks and everything in between.

You get it, from there we asked ourselves “Why not create an Instagram page where we share this with everyone” and so, on March 29, 2018 FittyGalz was born!

And what a year it has been! We met so many incredible people, our community has grown in ways we NEVER thought it would, the support and encouragement is so heart warming and our creativity and love for the healthy life/mind industry has just grown tremendously.

To thank you for always being here for us, I’ve written a little book of recipes for you guys, that includes 5 recipes under 450 calories!

The ingredients used are affordable, easily obtainable and cheap. And because I’m a sweetheart I made two versions: French & English.

Come on then, get downloading! 😉

English version: The Fitty Anniversary – 5 recipes under 450 calories – English version

  French version: The French Fitty Anniversary – 5 recettes à moins de 450 calories

Don’t forget to let me know what you think, your feedback is truly appreciated and will help me create more meal plans/recipes for you guys!

Much love from Yasmine and I,

#FittyBreakfastWeek – Avocado Toast + Poached Eggs Recipe

/ fittygalz / Leave a comment

Happy Saturday! It’s finally the weekend and I hope that you will have a great one!

Celebrating the weekend with the fashionable avocado toast with a poached egg and I’m showing you guys an easy and quick way to cook poached eggs to perfection.

Ingredients

2 eggs

1 tbsp vinegar

1/2 avocado + 1/2 squeezed lemon juice

Salt, pepper, chilli powder

2 slices brown bread

Method

Start by boiling water in a saucepan. Using the hot water from the kettle will save you some time in the process.

Once the water starts bubbling, add in the vinegar and a pinch of salt. This will prevent the eggs from sticking to the saucepan.

Crack your egg slowly but surely quite close to the water. Repeat with second egg.

For a runny middle, let it cook for 5-6 mins, for a medium middle let it cook for 7-9 mins.

While it’s cooking, toast your bread slices. In a bowl, mash the avocado, add the lemon juice and the spices and stir well. Spread your bread with the avocado mixture.

With the help of a holed spatula, get your eggs out of the water and place them on your bread. You can add some chili flakes on top and some pepper.

There you have it, the perfect savory breakfast. An actual delight!
