Healthy-ish snack recipes!

Hi all,
   for this blog I decided to try out some healthy-ish, but very simple and yummy snack recipes. I'm really not that great of a cook so if I can do these with good results I'm sure you can too:
The first recipe is really easy yet surprisingly delicious! It is Avocado Crispbread with Lemon

The ingredients are:
- 2 crispbread pieces (I used ryvita, but any will work) 
- 1/2 an avocado
- lemon juice
- black pepper and salt






1. Mash up the avocado with a fork.
2. Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the crispbread with a knife
3. Squeeze on the lemon juice and season to taste.

The second recipe takes slightly longer, but is so worth it. This is also a great recipe to share with friends and family (or just eat all by yourself!). It is Tortilla Chips and Homemade Salsa

The ingredients are:
-Plain tortilla chips
-300g of tomatoes
-1 small onion
- 2 or 3 mild chillies
- 1/2 a bunch of coriander
- 1 tablespoon water
-salt and lime juice to taste

 1. Chop up the tomatoes, onion, chillies and coriander finely.
 2. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and serve immediately

The final recipe is so delicious, but easy as well- you just spoon it all on top of each other! You can do loads of different variations of this- replace the fruit with your favourite, add agave syrup instead of honey, whatever you want. However here is my favourite Granola, Fruit and Yogurt Pot

Ingredients:
-Natural, plain yogurt
-A granola of your choice (be careful though if you want this to be a healthy snack as a lot of commercial granolas have loads of sugar in so check the ingredients!)
-a small handful of blueberries
-1/4 of a mango chopped into small pieces
-honey

Method:
1. Put a tablespoon of yogurt in the bottom of a glass.
2. Add a 1/3 of the blueberries and the mango
3. Add a tablespoon of granola
4. repeat the process until your glass is almost full and then smooth over the top with a final layer of yogurt
5. Drizzle on some honey and enjoy!

 
I think all three recipes are delicious and hope you enjoy trying them out! Have a nice week,

Hello!

         I know this is a bit late because it's my second post, but I thought better late than never. My name is Evie and I am starting this blog to write about anything and everything that interests me. This means there will probably be quite a range, but the topics will mainly be about female empowerment, recipes, beauty, lifestyle and fashion. If any of these areas interest you make sure to follow my blog so you can keep an eye on my posts! Thank you,

Labels against women

             This blog is inspired by the Pantene Philippines advert which, as you can probably guess from the title, is about labels against women which happen on a day-to-day basis without anyone giving them much thought. Above I have put some of the comparative labels for women and men in two lists from the advert. The worrying thing is I guess without even having to think about it you can tell which one is about women. (How did you see though my genius colour swap?!) Doesn't that mean that subconsciously the society we live in has brought us up so we immediately recognise the negative labels for women and the positive ones for men? I think this advert has really made it clear to me that there is deeply integrated sexism is in our society today and the only way I can think of to combat it is though opening our minds: why should women be less accepted in the workplace? Why can't women wear what they want? Why can't women look after their hair with this fantastic shampoo and conditioner range? Oh sorry, that's just the advert speaking again. Or we could just buy Pantene products so they keep making fantastic, awareness raising adverts like that. Their conditioner is actually very nice... :)
