EATING HEALTHY IN UYO; The Chicken Salad Adventure

Sisters in need of flat tommy, I greet you o!

So, I recently joined the trending Fit Fam gang and as expected, a WhatsApp group was involved. Next I know, menu was given and a long list of ingredients was posted.

Hmm, these ingredients were costly! Like, common minimum wage earner like me wee die from purchasing all these products. But I was determined, even though I knew in my mind I was only going to buy some. I sha started the exercises.

Plenty pictures of exercise poses and meals which mostly consisted of smoothies, vegetables, chicken salad and green teas later...one day I almost fainted o. A good friend advised that I try portion control which basically involved my normal Nigerian meals but in quantities smaller than the usual, increased protein and fruits intake.

I could do that... I did that. Plus the exercises, I started seeing results. There weren't big results but I noticed. Chicken salad became my best meal o, but where to find a good one as a girl that works all day.

Come and see salad in my town.

Chai! The experience sha... I dunno whether to laugh or cry. There was one where cabbage was the foundation of the disposable plate and we, I and my friend, had to hunt for the chicken among the giant cumber slices.

In case you're wondering, we didn't find the chicken; we were eating cabbage salad.

So, we went for another vendor and this time, the chicken was shredded so thin a strand of sewing thread had more weight. The final...the storm before the calm, took approximately five hours to deliver salad, five hours!

Ha, Hunger Games was a joke compared to our struggle that day.

But I have good news. Visit @freshblesyns on Instagram and facebook to get the perfect and balanced chicken salad.

As you can see in the salad images above, you get your vegetables, nuts, proteins and a bespoke cream if you need it...me, I eat it like that o... Fit Fam has made my body be rejecting things I use to enjoy that year.

For those living in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, visit Freshblesyns at Nteps Supermarket at Maitama and at Discovery Park, Udo Umana. They also have smoothies, tigernut juice, freshly squeezed fruit juices, meal plans and offer catering services...

I know Iyaff shown you the way... You can Thank Me later.

Ciao!

WAR: Third Free Chapter

3 EVACUATION She stood on the deck of the ship as it slowly berthed at the walls of Marshland. A rope was let down from the parapet as opposed to the walkway, only let down when resources had to be transferred from the ship into Marshland. Laika had undressed the soldiers, even the guy in the control room, which she had tied up on his chair in only his under shorts. She had parked up all the uniforms and boots in a large duffel. She heaved it over her shoulder and began climbing the ladder with the conviction of meeting Zuka at the top. She wanted to grin when she saw that she’d been right but Zuka immediately looked down her cloths, questions shone in his eyes. “War. Cameroon is bombing this place in the morning and Nigeria isn’t going to do anything,” Laika explained urgently, dropping the duffel at his feet. “What…?” “I commandeered the ship, we have less than an hour to evacuate everybody before the soldiers at the wall suspect foul play.” “But, Laika…” “Hey...

Movie Review: God Calling...

BB Sasore, thank you for this movie. I have no idea if you experienced this movie or someone else did, but, I am convinced this movie couldn't have been someone's muse - this was real life experience! Ladies and gentlemen, if you haven't seen God Calling, you absolutely should. This movie has a star studded cast, amazing directing, apt graphics that just blow your mind and great acting that depicts reality to a zing. God Calling is about a family, man, wife and a daughter. They are happy, but wife doesn't like God or religion. It shows when she is forced to go to church by her little daughter and the pastor stops mid preaching to tell her 'God is calling you'. She scoffs it off and tells her husband that the pastor is looking for money. From thence, her life spirals out of control and brings her to a point she wants to kill herself... I cried and screamed during this movie, mostly because I've experienced something like it. Everyone needs to s...

Saturday Special...

Beedo Sauce We had to make up a name for this one, so we landed at Beedo Sauce. Even our in-house chef and food scientist (since he's always experimenting) is yet to know the name of his creation. It could have been Beef-Dodo, like it's gizzard contemporary is called Gizz-dodo, but hey, where's the fun in that? Beedo Sauce sounds more exotic and well, it suits Saturday Special; it would make a delicious surprise to that special someone or persons you might be hosting this weekend. HOW TO MAKE IT As little as 2,000 naira can get you this beauty, it could be more or less, depending on the number of guests. Ingredients Beef Ripe plantain (preferably soft ones) Onions Garlic Ginger Seasoning (he used Mom's Pride Beef super seasoning) Curry Thyme Fresh Pepper 🌶 Fresh tomatoes Fresh tatashe (optional) Vegetable oil Salt Beef stock And you're ready to rumble!...
