Perfect Diet - Trying to lose weight and still eat well

Contrary to popular believe: Trying to lose weight, does not necessarily mean, to eat boring food. Trying to eat healthy, does not necessarily mean to eat meals you do not like.

I want to show you that you can actually can have all in one:

• Good Food
• Weight Loss - (IF you are trying to lose weight!)
• Improving your health

You will see: all the recipes will be easy to cook - even if you are not a trained chef. They will be tasty, but still "edible" for the ones who are trying to lose weight.

Not much of a surprise that most of the recipes will be part of the Mediterranean Diet. This diet has proven to be tasty, healthy and low on calories.

Today we start with one of the "Classics" of the Spanish kitchen. The Gazpacho - the cold vegetable soup, but I will add a little "something extra"!


GAZPACHO with PASSION-FRUIT ICE CUBES

You need:
1 large red pepper; 10 really ripe Cherry Tomatoes; about 150gr. Cucumber without peal; 2 spoons of Coriander - very finely grinded; a pinch of cumin seed; red Tabasco (after your personal taste); 4 spoons of chicken-chilli sauce; 90 ml of a good vegetable oil; 50 ml of really good virgin Olive Oil.

Now mix all the ingredients in a Blender until you have a really smooth and homogeneous liquid. Then take a fine sieve and strain the liquid through it. And your Gazpacho is ready!

For the Passion-Fruit Ice Cubes you need:
4 large spoons of Cane Sugar (white) and 100 ml of Passion-Fruit juice

Dissolve the sugar in 5 spoons of juice at low heat. Then mix it with the rest of the juice and fill it in a tray for ice cubes. Freeze over night!

And That´s It! Now you have a perfect starter for your next BBQ, or your next dinner. It is easy to prepare, you can prepare it a day in advance and, no matter who are your guests, you can serve it to everybody: vegetarians, people who are trying to lose weight, people who are living on a natural diet.

Everybody will like and enjoy your Gazpacho with Passion-Fruit Ice Cubes!
