The last two days have been quite hard during the day, it seems we are not eating enough during lunch and we have decided really to start cooking larger amounts so we can take lunch from the leftovers.
Also general tiredness/weakness has been around and by reading from other Whole Life Challenge participants more or less everyone are feeling the same, but its should get better hopefully. We have slept very well, me even too well, it has been really hard to get up during the last three days.
We bought a pork joint to have something different for breakfast to go with the smoothie, this time pear/banana, tasted really nice. The pork joint is so easy, you just need to roast it (don't add salt). It will be enough for few days, and it is best (in our opinion) when enjoyed cold with a little salt sprinkled over.
Tried Orange puree too (remember you cannot drink orange juice, cannot squeeze the juice out from the pulp! BUT you can put the peeled orange into a blender and have the puree. Tried mango/blueberry smoothie too and it was really yummy and something different.
Ran out of almond milk :( so need to do more during the weekend, will take pictures this time!
For dinner we had the leftovers from the yesterday's chicken and made some Hummus.
We were lucky to find some natural Tahini (sesame-seed paste) from Waitrose, made it much quicker:
We made our hummus from dried chickpeas (not sure if canned are allowed?)

Roasted Chicken, TomatoSalad with Hummus
Hummus;
- 1 cups dried chickpeas (the smallest you can find)
- 1/2 cup tahini
- juice from 1 squeezed lemons
- 1-2 garlic cloves
- salt
- olive oil
- parsley (not mandatory)
- paprika powder (not mandatory)
- Wash the chickpeas until the water is transparent
- Soak them in clean water over night
- Rinse the peas
- Put the chickpeas into a food processor and grind well. Leave it to chill a little while
- Add the tahini and the rest of the ingredients and go on with the food processor until you get the desired texture.
- If the Humus is too thick, add some of the cooking water. It should be thinner than the actual desired texture.
- Sprinkle Parsley/Paprika Powder over the hummus
- Serve with Olive Oil (With spoon press a whole to the hummus and pour in a bit of olive oil)
