Asparagus Omelet - Quick Lunch

Friday, May 5, 2017

Asparagus is the ultimate spring veggie! On my previous post I told some benefits of this green superfood. Now I introduce my favourite spring time lunch - asparagus omelet.

This is how I make it:

A punch of green asparagus (basically as much as you like)

3 eggs

parmesan

salt & black pepper

fresh oregano and/or other herbs

Wash, peel if needed, cut into pieces and steam the asparagus for a couple of minutes.

Whisk the eggs, add some water (3 tbls), salt & pepper. Blend

Puor the egg mixture in a non-stick skillet, cook it in high heat for a few seconds, reduce the temperature to medium and cook until eggs are softly set, add parmesan, asparagus and herbs. Continue cooking for a couple of minutes.

Fold omelet in half and serve it.

Healthy, gluten free lunch with full of protein, fibre and vitamins.

After running 5,5km in the Margit Island this morning it was easy to consume an omelet (half of it) made of potato slices & chunks of red peppers topped with white asparagus and Parma ham. Delicious and full of protein.

This week's been pretty good sports-wise - 3 x running/jogging & 2 x 90mins sessions of hot yoga, yesterday was for resting. During the holidays bought a pair of pink compression calf sleeves to avoid cramps in my legs. Been wearing them now the week while sporting and sometimes even in the office during the day. It's been around 8C outside. They feel nice, supportive and warm. Very much like flight stockings but more comfy and the dressing them up is easier. First I thought I had avoided the muscle pain which would've been natural for not running for a while. But this morning I DID have that pain, not a huge one though. Anyway, I will continue wearing these calf sleeves this winter and spring and see whether I can get rid of the cramps. No cramps so far!
