The big Olympic fever is fading away and so is the lovely summer weather. This is a post dedicated to every person who fought hard and who fought well for their country. 

Pink Beauty ~ A simple healthy drink / breakfast replacement

I had a super weekend of less cooking, more shopping :-) and eating out -binge eating :-( and after all the cooking last week of Breakfast Bars, Almond Cookies & Crab, all I wanted this morning was a breakfast replacement, a healthy drink that can satisfy my ever hungry tummy. Sometimes when I do too much cooking , I cannot eat much... I don't know if this happens to only me or everyone else? my husband finds this weird :D. Though I try to make vegetables as part of our daily diet and being a ardent non-vegetarian, at times I just want nothing to do with non-veg for at least a day/ just 1 meal ;-)

I usually make this veggie drink on these kind of days. This Pink beauty is fully nutritious with simple carrots & beetroot, I used the whole veg without cooking it. Added some yogurt and a dash of ginger to give it a punch. Trust me this simple drink can fill you up for 3-4 hours and I almost forget lunch time.

And if you are very keen to find out the benefits of this 2 veggies please do, Beetroot & Carrot-I was really stunned to find out their goodness. To this adding yogurt helps our immune system. I am linking this to hearth & soul blog hop.
