Why hello there everyone, it's me, Aya. It's not a name you read often on the blog these days because my posting speed is about as rapid as a sloth strapped onto a turtle walking towards a fan blowing in the opposite direction. But I also understand that you guys are not waiting in front of your laptops all day, waiting to hear word from me (although you...
Yes, I did in fact hashtag my title. Actually, I used two hashtags which warrants each one of your eyes rolling into its socket. Hello, it's Aya, the writer of Healthy Appetite. Before I begin this segment of my blog, I'd like to apologize for the lack of updates in the past few months. It's true, I've been a bit busy trying to get my life together (I'm talking...
Winter is definitely the oddball season in Berlin. I can never tell when it begins, how long it's going to last, and when it's finally over. I learned to deal with it over time, but once in a while when I am walking around in leggings and summer socks, I realize that a. I am insane, and b. I am freezing. So you understand why I still need a bit of work adjusting...
Everybody talks about oatmeal because it's like that good friend that always has your back, even though you sometimes forget about her and she ends up in the back of your cupboard, mingling with the cocoa powder and bottle of Gordon's gin (this is a no judgement zone people). But what is it about oats that is so special? To name a few: -One bowl of oatmeal...
On Sunday, Oli and I biked over to Liepnitzsee, a lake located between Bernau and Wandlitz in Brandenburg. The thing to do in Berlin during the summer is to bike to lakes whenever possible. They're beautiful, surrounded by nature, and it's the perfect way to cool down on a blazing hot day. We started off by eating a good ole hearty breakfast. Actually,...
Good morning my lovely readers and a happy work day to you too (May 1st is Working Day so naturally nobody works). I am spending the morning completely dehydrated because I told myself I would not get up for any reason until I am done writing this post. Oh how nice I am to myself. I think you must be wondering how my 21-day vegan challenge went considering...
Guten Morgen everyone! Well, it's technically not morning here anymore but since it's just becoming morning in America, I'll nab the opportunity. The weather, albeit some rain and clouds, has been pretty amazing lately and when amazing weather hits, all I want are jazzy refreshments. I've been getting a kick out of the fruit water trend, mainly because it...
Some days I wake up in the morning and take time to cook oats or cut up a bunch of fruit for a layered yogurt parfait. Other days, I pour cereal into my bowl and stare into the distance until my cornflakes get soggy. Then there's my lazy fruit-on-the-bottom yogurt that comes in between. Easy and involves no cooking, you can make it with fresh or frozen fruit...
Let's face it: muffins rock. They are transportable and you can customize them any way you want to. They also just look adorable. I mean, how can you resist a batch of these scrumptious lovelies? Luckily, they are super duper easy to make. They are also super duper easy to make healthy. Take these oatmeal banana muffins: 5 ingredients (6 if you add the nuts)...
