International recipes as healthy as they are easy
Yoga classes free at eight set up the gym at home or pull rope due to lack of budget.
During these days of quarantine there are many people who they are not willing to sacrifice their physical condition, opting for the different possibilities offered by the days of isolation (and the excess of free time).
Others instead, prefer to acknowledge that do not feel productive (and absolutely nothing happens), while some have chosen take care of your diet as the best way to circumvent them sedentary effects.
Ideas for a healthy diet
“During these days it is necessary to continue eating a balanced diet: the protein Necessary for keep muscles in good state, carbohydrates to face the day with Energy and of course, vegetables and fruits what they bring us vitamins”, Nutritionist Debora Rosillo tells Traveler.es.
“However, we must also keep in mind that lack of sun encourages consumption of vitamin D that we lack through some foods,” she continues.
“Oily fish (salmon, tuna or herring) are the main foods with vitamin D, in addition to egg yolk, avocado, mushrooms or, to a lesser extent, dairy".
To this need to maintain a healthy routine during confinement, another front is added: the not being able to travel (and that you have the right to be sad about it).
Shortcomings found in this following list of world dishes as healthy as easy to make the best answer to the advice you once gave Orson Welles: “Ask not what you can do in their country. Ask what's for lunch."
**Egg hopper (Sri Lankan) **
Yes, it may not be the most “light” dish on the list, but can anyone resist this? crunchy bowl of even tastier content?
Considered as the main breakfast on the island Sri Lankan, the exotic version of the pancake is even more nutritious and healthy. Use a wok to shape the “container” and make a mixture of rice flour, yeast and coconut milk (one of the twelve superfoods) until it is time to poach orange glory. Of course, we insist, better for breakfast!
Egg hopper, the star breakfast of Sri Lanka
Tip Traveler: accompanies the Sri Lankan style dish with sambal, or any other type of minced chili (one of the best known fat burners).
Quinoa Tabbouleh (Lebanon)
If there is a salad in the world to unite them all, that is without a doubt the taboulé. Typical of Middle Eastern countries like Syria or Lebanon, this delicacy is made up of a mixture of chopped parsley and mint, tomato, olive oil and lemon juice which is combined with a base of bulgur, couscous or, in this case, quinoa, ideal for vegans and celiacs.
Fresh and healthy, as well as the perfect dish for those (long-awaited) future beach days.
Tip Traveler: you can too add raisins, black olives or even dates depending on your tastes.
Poke: pure addiction
Poke (Hawaii)
Thousands of years ago, fishermen in the Hawaiian Islands ate a lunch of gutted fish, seaweed, salt, and even limu, a natural extract from lava.
Much later, the one known as poké grew out of this tradition to become the hula-hop nation's best ambassador of fast-good to the world.
Sometimes known as “deconstructed sushi”, the success of poké consists of combining all those healthy leftovers that you have left in the fridge: diced raw salmon with rice, lettuce, edamame, seaweed, cucumber or even pineapple sprinkled with soy sauce or wasabi mayonnaise.
Tip Traveler: If you can't find edamame, you can opt for baby beans.
açaí bowl
**Açaí bowl (Brazil) **
A few years ago, hundreds of instagramers started posting photos with a bowl with extra violet color.
The reason? Acai fever a fruit extracted from the palm trees of the Amazon whose amount of vitamins make it one of the twelve registered superfoods.
A colorful ally to combine with yogurt, other red fruits such as strawberries or raspberries, banana, grated coconut and even a splash of **almond milk. **
Tip Traveler: You may add chocolate both in ounces and grated. If it also contains **more than 70% pure cocoa, it is not considered a sin. **
Lemon chicken couscous (Morocco)
walk through a souk, inspire the aroma of spices or even buy a rug that at some point transports you to other distant lands.
Moroccan culture is possibly one of the most iconic in the world, and much of this charm is due to its delicious cuisine: the pastela, a cake of nuts and chicken meat with cinnamon; sweets dipped in honey the chebakia but, especially, its variety of couscous
to your version of lemon chicken couscous must not miss the sting of parsley, olives and sauteed onion served in a typical clay pot.
Tip Traveler: Accompany the dish with a rich Moorish tea based on fresh mint.
Blessed lemon chicken couscous!
Fish tacos (Mexico)
Mexican gastronomy is not only one of the few in the world recognized by UNESCO, but its options and combinations are (almost) infinite.
However, this time we opted for a lesser-known version of one of its most famous dishes: fish tacos.
Nothing better than cooking the typical taco dough with rice and going on to make a mixture of shredded fish (hake, for example) combined with cabbage, pico de gallo and a dash of sour cream. The best "craving" for this quarantine.
Tip Traveler: Accompany them with nachos combined with up to 50 ingredients.
**Cause of Lima (Peru) **
We know that mentioning Peruvian food without including ceviche is the closest thing to sacrilege.
However, this time we delve into this vast gastronomy to stay with another of its delicacies: the cause of Lima, a typical entree from the country of Machu Picchu consisting of a steamed potato tartlet with yellow pepper, boiled egg, black olives and a squeeze of lemon.
Then, it is filled to taste: well with avocado, shredded chicken or tuna. oh! And a touch of mayonnaise.
Tip Traveler: The shrimp stuffing it is our favourite.
Have you tried the Lima cause? Well, it's time!
**Ribollita (Italy) **
On those rainy spring days, opting for a soup is always a highly recommended suggestion. What perhaps you did not expect, is that it came from the country of pizza and pasta. Typical of the Tuscany region, ribollita is a feast for lovers of legumes based on beans with stale bread, black cabbage and different vegetables.
Tip Traveler: If you can't find black cabbage, you can substitute kale.
**Green papaya salad (Thailand) **
Also known as “som tam”, this salad from northwestern Thailand and the neighbor Laos is one of the healthiest and easiest to make.
Crush the papaya in a mortar and add chili, garlic, tomato, broad beans and lime juice. If you stay hungry, you can accompany it with thai style grilled chicken (known as kai yang).
Tip Traveler: Serve it cold and use chopsticks, as you will eat more slowly.
Coca boba (Spain)
Of course, we do not forget our country, much less the dessert. Or in any case, best ally for snacks.
Because for those of us who grew up in the Spanish Levante, coca boba continues to be that simple cake that transports us to childhood; to the summer afternoons with the yaya dipping pieces in a cool glass of horchata.
Ribollita
Called “boba” due to the simplicity of the recipe, this “coca” consists of a combination of lemon zest, eggs, flour and sugar (to be replaced by stevia, for the healthiest) whose version with cocoa powder can make a difference.
Tip Traveler: If you prefer an even healthier dessert, you can always cut orange into slices and sprinkle with lime juice, orange and cinnamon. If you feel more rebellious, we have the recipe for the best cheesecake in Spain. Dessert is always negotiable.
