What I Eat in Day to get 100G+ Protein | Summer Vacation Edition
I'm currently at my family's summer cottage and I thought I'd film a what I eat in a day video.
We're here to celebrate midsummer which is a big holiday here in Finland.
But now let's go and make breakfast and then I can show you around the cottage.
So welcome to our summer cottage.
Almost everyone in Finland spends their summers at a summer cottage.
Our cottage was just renovated. On the left you can see a video clip of the old kitchen.
This looks like a completely new place. We now even have electricity and running water here.
The big windows are my favorite part. We only have a dry toilet here. In Finnish it's called hursi.
And here's a smaller cabin where we sleep. There are two bedrooms here.
And here is the sauna which is right by the lake.
My favorite part about the cottage is definitely the view. It's so beautiful here.
For lunch we're making a greek style pasta salad.
Then I went paddleboarding with my brother's dog. He loves paddleboarding. If I go without him he
will jump into the water and swim to the board. Right after this he saw Aaron on his kayak and
he jumped into the water and swam to the kayak. Such a funny dog. For snack I made a blueberry
banana chocolate smoothie. Might sound a bit weird but it was really good. I added half a banana,
some frozen black blueberries, low-fat Greek yogurt and two tablespoons of vegan chocolate
protein powder and a little bit of milk. I only had chocolate flavored protein powder
at the cottage so that's why I had to use it but I actually really liked the combo.
We want to have a crepe cake for dessert after dinner so we're gonna start prepping that already
now. Finnish crepes are like a traditional dessert that people make during midsummer. First I cracked
three eggs into a bowl and I added some milk and whisked everything together.
Then I added sugar and salt and whisked again.
Next I added flour and mixed everything together.
Then I let the batter sit for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile I made the filling. I just whisked
some heavy cream and then I added unsweetened quark and a little bit of sugar.
Then I built the cake. I topped the crepe with the whipped cream layer and next I added some
berries and then I just repeated the process. I wanted to film a what I eat in a day video
on a holiday to show that treats and foods like pizza can be a part of healthy lifestyle
since it's all about balance. Everything in moderation is the key. We put the cake into
the fridge while we make dinner. For dinner we're going to make pizza so let's start by making the
crust. First I heated water in the microwave and then I added the yeast and mixed it with the water.
Next I added maple syrup and salt and mixed everything together.
Then I added half of the flour and mixed with a mixer for two minutes.
Then I added rest of the flour and mixed for two more minutes.
Lastly I added the olive oil and mixed for one more minute. I didn't have a rolling pin so I
had to use my hands to flatten the dough. Then I added the toppings. I added some tomato sauce,
pesto and shredded chicken and lots of cherry tomatoes and lastly some mozzarella.
I baked the pizzas at 220 celsius degrees 430 in fahrenheit for about 15 minutes.
The pizzas turned out so good. I like adding arugula on top of pizza just before serving.
And here's the ready crepe cake. Such a fun dessert idea for summer.
One of the midsummer traditions here in Finland is to make a bonfire.
It was midnight at this point and it was still so bright outside.
This is my favorite time of the year because it's bright pretty much 24 7.
Those were all the meals I had today. I hope you like this a little bit different kind of
video format. The written recipes are in the description box as always. Enjoy!
