Breakfast: P&B toast
Heat the bread for a few minutes to get it toasty and warm, this would make spreading the peanut butter easier. It's my first time to try unsalted all natural peanut butter, because this is something not so easy to find here in Japan. Place a few slices of bananas on top. Pair this with your favorite smoothie or in my case, a cold chocolate ginger drink.
Lunch: Tofu, Stir fried vegetables and Quinoa
Cook 1 part quinoa with 2 parts water for 15 minutes. In a separate pan, stir fry your favourite vegetables, I'm usin broccoli and carrots seasoned with salt, pepper and sesame oil. Tofu is a staple food here in Japan so you can find a wide variety to choose from. This one is ready to eat which is a great time saver.
Dinner: Penne pasta in tomato sauce topped with cottage cheese and olives
Boil pasta for 8-10 minutes or until al dente. Rinse and set aside. In a pan, add a teaspoon of olive oil and minced garlic. Add your favourite tomato sauce, I'm using a store-bought tomato basil sauce. Let it simmer for a few minutes, turn of the heat and add the pasta. Mix well, and top it with cottage cheese and sliced olives.
