The Ultimate Lunch Wrap

I haven't got much time to spend writing today so I'm going to cut straight to the point - I've created the most delicious wrap ever and had to come share the recipe before it disappears from my head.

It's been a sunny week in Krakow and the summery weather makes me seek colorful and light foods over heavy cuisine. The secret of this lunch wrap lies in the combination of flavors and the tenderly cooked zucchini that has been soaking flavor from chili and garlic - it's just delicious that's all!

The Ultimate Lunch Wrap

serves 3-4, time 30 min

1 package of marinated tofu (I had paprika & herbs)

1 small zucchini

1/3 red (mildish) chili

1 garlic nail

olive oil

hummus

rucola pesto cream cheese (I used Apetina)

salad & other veggies/greens

medium size tortillas/wraps

Wash the zucchini and cut to semi thin strips (full length). Chop garlic nail and chili (remove seeds). Add oil to frying pan and throw in garlic and chili, after a moment add in the zucchini and let soften up for a few minutes. The point is to cook the zucchini to al dente, not make mash out of it. Cut the tofu to slices. Remove zucchini with most garlic and chili to a separate plate. Add oil if needed to the same pan and fry the tofu until it has golden brown color. 

Spread cream cheese and hummus generously to the mid section of the tortilla. If you add other greens put them on next. Add a few zucchini strips in and then the tofus on top. Fold into a wrap and enjoy!

Have a great day and happy munching! 

Happy Hippie's Green Smoothie

A perfect snack for a busy day! I've been running from one thing to another this week and haven't had any time for a proper grocery :( Luckily I normally always have some kale, banana and other fruit around for a yummy smoothie.

I love green smoothies and different variations of green juice. One of my favorite spots in Krakow for a leisurely drink and snack is Frankie's, they do the best fresh juices in town. At home I don't have a juicer so I settle for smoothies. The good thing about these is, they fill you up quite nicely while you also get your daily doze of vitamins :)

Happy Hippie's Green Smoothie

serves 1, time 5-10min

2-3 dl washed kale leafs

1 small banana

1 small pear

1/2 avocado

0,5dl pineapple juice 

fresh mint

Put all ingredients to blender and mix until smooth. You can add the amount of liquid to get thinner smoothie if that's what you prefer. For a breakfast version add 1dl of quark or yoghurt in. 

Enjoy!
