Recipe of the Day: Chicken Sandwich on-the-go

Hello Hello!

Another quick recipe for today, which I tried for the first time yesterday as part of my new nutrition plan on The Wellness Log. It's a fairly simple premise, it's a classic roast/grilled chicken sandwich with a twist!

Obviously there's some initial work that goes into it, mainly cooking the chicken itself. Aside from that the rest of the ingredients ought to be things you have lying around your kitchen counters, fridge or freezer. The following makes two sandwiches.

Ingredients

  • One roast/grilled chicken breast - diced (boneless)
  • Two whole grain bread buns (alternatively you can use Balady bread if you can get your hands on the one TBS makes - only produced in the Maadi branch!)
  • Three large leaves Lolla Rossa lettuce (any other type will do)
  • Handful raw baby spinach leaves (normal spinach will do as well)
  • One tablespoon avocado
  • Mustard
  • Balsamic vinegar
  • Cumin
  • Ginger
  • Black seeds (حبة بركة)


Process

  • What the fuck is wrong with you? Have you never made a sandwich before? Just add all the above inside the bread, sprinkle the sauces and spices on top and dig right fucking in!


Give it a try and let me know what you think. My only regret is what I wolfed the whole thing down before taking a picture. I assure you it was quite tasty.

Tip of the Day: Spice Up Your Coffee

Add cinnamon to your coffee. Cinnamon’s effects on controlling blood sugar levels and promoting progressive fat loss are known to science but seldom to the public.


Cinnamon helps your body to better time and control the release of sugar in your body, helping control the release of insulin simultaneously and preventing the conversion of sugars into fat and helping you avoid crashing.

Add ½ a teaspoon of ground cinnamon to your coffee (no sugar - and if you must, aim for brown or preferably honey) and preferably without milk (use skimmed if you must) to consume in the morning or before your workout.
