WLC style Breakfast - Green smoothie and Pork Crackling Joint

Breakfast usually feels like the most challenging dish during WLC especially when eggs and smoothies are the easy way out but gets a bit boring after awhile :) Its also important to remember to use eggs with moderation (At least cut the usage of yolk to reduce the intake of cholesterol/fat)

Today we tried a green smoothie and it actually turned out real nice.

A pork crackling joint is also an option during WLC. The crackling brings flavour to the actual meat but we always remove it after cooking as its fairly fatty but that is all up to you!

Pork Crackling Joint

Place the joint into a roasting tin. Cook in pre-heated oven 180C/350F. (Cooking time is 30 minutes per 500g plus en extra 30 minutes). Allow joint to rest in a warm place for 10 minutes before serving

 

Green Smoothie

This serves one person so double the ingredients if for two persons

• 1 dl of fresh spinach
• 1 dl of Cucumber ( I peeled mine but not necessary..)
• Celery - approx a piece of 4cm
• Approx two  parsley
• Juice of half 1 lime
• Juice of half 1 lemon
• 1 sliced banana

Combine all ingredients in a blender. To get more juice out of the lime and lemon roll them against the table before cutting into half and squeezing them. Breakfast is served!
