I love this delicious & healthy bowl ♥
Just look at all theese delicious colours gathered in one place.
Remember, that it is important to eat colour-ish.
If you eat fruit & vegetables in the colours of the rainbow, then your body gets all the necesarry vitamins, carbs, minerals, fibers & proteins that it needs.
When I am having me time, or just wanna spoil myself, I am making this healthy meal for breakfast or lunch ♥
It tastes amazing 🙂
Below, I have written some stuff about the things in this dish – and why they are good for you 🙂
Salmon
Salmon is healthy .. You just need to get the right kind of salmon – Very important!
As I understand, you should keep away from Norwegian salmon. It is farmed fish, and the salmon is stuffed with antibiotics, food colouring etc. (and then it is not that healthy to eat salmon anyway, so sad!)
It is so disgusting, to think about, that it is legal for the farmers & the fish companies to fill your body with all of that crap! 🙁
As I understand you should try to buy wild salmon, faoese salmon (they also do farmed fish, but they have much more controled & stricter rules for what is alowed to give the fish) or you should buy salmon from Greenland.
– I have now found out that you can buy a package of smoked salmon called ‘Sockeye wild salmon from Alaska’.
Thats the only kind of non breaded smoked salmon I can find here in denamark.
If there are is someone here, reading, that works in a seafood shop or something, then please come with some valuable inputs 🙂
If you get the right salmon, then it is very healthy, and salmon is filled with:
- Omega-3 fatty acids
- Lots of protein
- D-vitamins
- B12 vitamins
- Selenium
- Calcium
Avocado
Just because avocados are high in fat, it doesn’t mean that you should stay away from this amazing fruit 🙂
Avocados are super healthy & keeps you satiated for a long time ♥
Avocados lower your cholesterol & prevent blood clots & arteriosclerosis.
Avocadoa lso contains a bunch of nutrients, and lots of antioxidants. These antioxidants helps your body prevent inflammation & improve the blood flow.
Avocados contain:
- Healthy fatty acids (monounsaturated) – This lower your cholesterol level
- Fiber
- Potassium
- Lots of Vitamin-K
- Vitamin-C
- Vitamin-E
- Magnesium
- Carotenoids
Remember!
if you only need ½ avocado, then leave the avocado seed in the part of the avocado you are not eating.
Then put it in a freezing bag & store in the fridge 🙂
Tomato
Tomatoes are very healthy, and they are stuffed with an antioxidant called Lycopene.
Lycopene is what makes the tomato red.
Lycopene is amazing for your immune system, and you can get it from fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes or pasteurized tomatoes.
The effect from the Lycopene increases with 25 – 40 %, if the tomatoes are cooked/warmed up. Then it is easier for your body to absorb 🙂
Pretty funny! because it use to be the other way around. All other vegetables/fruits, looses the vitamins & nutrients when they are cooked 🙂
You can also find Lycopene in: papaya, red peppers & watermelon
Tomatoes contains:
- Lycopene
- Low on calories
- Vitamin-C
- Vitamin-E
- Betacarotene
