Health Tips ☆

( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
As many of you know, I have been taking nutrition subjects in my university. Therefore, I have decided to start sharing some health tips, ideas, etc on this blog. Maybe recipes too!
So keep a lookout, with one coming up soon!

Simply click the tab as shown.



PS//I will try to update them regularly. ヾ(´￢｀)ﾉ

I've got Yoplait I've got Yoplait

Thanks to Nuffnang,
I was given the opportunity to do a Product Review on the IMPROVED version of Yoplait Yoghurt!

(ノ＞▽＜。)ノ IT'S YOPLAIT TIME!






Yoplait (= yoghurt in french), has currently reformulated their old recipe. It's now better than ever!

I gotta say this,
I'm soooo L♥♥♥♥♥ving their 6 pack tubs.



I get an assortment of flavours, ranging from Classic (Vanilla, Strawberry, Mango), Dark Berries (Blueberry, Rasberry, Blackberry), Dessert Twists (Citrus, Apple & Cinamon, Vanilla), Berry Punnet (Strawberry, Raspberry, Mixed Berries) and Orchard Fruits (Peach, Citrus, Mango).

These also comes in 1kg tubs, just for the big-eater!
Ok, not really but definitely a more value-for-$$ option since purchase of bigger bulk usually gives a better deal..
But nah, still loving my mini tubs. (´ ▽｀).。ｏ♡

The mini sized ones are REALLY good for "On-the-Go". ESPECIALLY for my morning classes when I always have to rushrushrush, since I NEVER FAIL to snooze, giving me NO time to prepare my breakkie!

Now,
I can just chuck this Yoplait Mini-Tub into my bag and eat them while driving to school.



Sooooo easy!

+

I was also pleased to know that these yoghurts are


"Rich in calcium, No artifical flavours or colours & contains REAL fruits!"

AWESOMENESS.

I can now have a guilt-free snacking since it's also 98% fat free.
Very good during my stress period when I always crave for sweet snacks.


But also cannot eat alot lah! Which is also why this little tub is good for portion-controlled snacking.

+

These little tubs fit perfectly in MY EXPLODING FRIDGE.



Spot them!



I cook & bake alot so this fridge can't contain everything. It's a challenge to squeeze everything in this fridge and I wished that we had gotten a bigger one at the start. Oh well, student life.
OK THATS BESIDES THE POINT.

These little tubs are perfect as they are space-saving!

+

I must say that this 6 pack tubs are also convenient for picnics!




Yes, I know I know. I had the picnic at home. It was an extremely misty and cold day on Monday (11th June) so I decided to stay in, especially since BF is having his exams too.
But it was still fun! I get to bake my cheese souffle (argh, fallen by the time I set everything up. %$#%) and make my lentil soup.

Speaking of soup,


Do you know that you can add the Vanilla flavoured Yoplait to the lentil soup to thicken it up? Just a drop and the sweetness also provided a very good balance.

Try it! Feel free to let me know what you think!

♥

Vanilla flavour is my favourite since it's a versatile flavour.

I can:

- Add to my breakfast smoothie of ANY flavour.
- Incorporate them into my baking recipes!

These vanilla also have added vanilla beans too!

TO END THIS, I SHALL SHARE THIS VERY SIMPLE RECIPE USING THE VANILLA YOPLAIT.

Vanilla Cupcake using Yoplait Vanilla Yoghurt

Finally, top your cupcakes with your favourite frosting!

♥

♥

I made a very simple oreo, cream cheese based frosting for my cupcakes.
Added a little hint of butter for the shine. No other added sugar. Feel free to ask me for the recipe if you would like!

As I love chunks in my frosting, I did not grind them too finely which means.... I CANT PIPE THOSE FANCY FANCY NICE DESIGNS.



Very ugly I know. Shall name it Oreo Soil Yoplait Vanilla Cupcake! (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

So, remember guys, if you want a nice presentation for your cupcakes, grind them finely in a food processor.

♥

This recipe was actually modified from BBCGoodFood.

Even though I have halved the sugar portion as Yoplait Vanilla is already sweetened (plus I am not too fond of desserts that are too sweet), it is still good and I can still achieve the nice golden colour. (Sorry I had forgotten to take a photo of the cupcakes before frosting!)

Furthermore, with reduced sweetness, you can have more room for the normally sweet frosting!

♥

Enjoy! (o⌒．⌒o)

Confession.

Tendency to snack ALOT (I really mean ALOT) a week,
OR SOMETIMES,
in a not-so-good month, a week & a ½ prior to my period.

EXAMPLE:



6 (or 7?) slices of THAT are swimming in my tummy today, making its way to increase the size of my adipose tissues.

Thank goodness I've decided to make a small loaf (divided the recipe by 3) after struggling with my sinful thoughts of making the full thing.
BECAUSE I'VE ACTUALLY WOLFED DOWN MORE THAN HALF OF THE WHOLE BUTTER CAKE. (」゜ロ゜)screams.

WHY LIKE THIS ONEEEEE. щ(ಥДಥщ)

Santucci

LINK.

One of my favourite cafe, especially since it's so near my uni!

Happened to chance upon this little cafe one fine day. Instead of going to the popular well known cafes to satisfy my brunch cravings, I had decided to pop over this place as I had to drop by Boxhill thereafter to do some grocery shopping for a barbie session with friends (Photo). So instead of doing all the detours etc, I have decided that it will be more time-efficient to just eat at this little suburbs near my uni.
There were other small cafes but seeing the crowd at Santucci, I had assumed that it shouldn't be that badddd.

Boy am I glad I did give Santucci a chance!

Had their Poached Apple, Ricotta, Brandy Cream & Pomegranate Molasses.



Love love their pancakes. I thought it was pretty special.
The ricotta was not smacked on top of the pancakes like the norms. They actually had the ricotta occupied the middle section of the pancakes. Imagine pancakes with a hole in the middle (like doughnuts) and they filled the gap with ricotta.
ORGASMIC. (◐ o ◑ )

Their menu*:



Actually there's a second page with all the sandwiches, pasta, etc but I have no idea why but I only capture the first page.

So happy that there's a decently good cafe near university and will definitely go back there again! Ok, I already did, TODAY. Tried their risotto. Their blackboard special.
Even though they still can't beat the ones I had at Vue De Monde, I thought they did a pretty good job. :)
But you probably can't get that again since I reckon they change their daily specials everyday? Hmm?


(*I think they change their menu pretty regularly as they had a different kind of pancakes when I visited them again. It was like less than a month ago? I certainly do hope so!)

Super Belated Post #5: Happy
