On the road to DBS Marina Regatta 2018, one must eat like a champion to be a CHAMPION!!!!<\/p>\n

Ok, ok. There was a sharing session by May Schooling (Joseph Schooling’s mother) on how she feeds her son and Benson the chef at Mahota on healthier cooking.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

May Schooling told us for breakfast pretty much she makes fruit smoothies for her son. I thought that that was pretty simple, I could do\u00c2\u00a0that<\/em>. Just choose my fruits, freeze in portions like what she does and then just blender it together with Greek yogurt and milk.<\/p>\n

And then especially since he does train a lot, cheese toasties help for him since he does need carb replacement for energy so he wouldn’t “lose muscle”.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There’s parmesan for the umami melted in this toasty too but it is a simple enough recipe.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then we have demos by chef Benson of Mahota<\/strong><\/a>. One was a ‘healthier’ nasi lemak where the nasi was actually CAULIFLOWER?!<\/p>\n

I need to make more cauliflower as rice since I am doing a low carb thing… In general.<\/p>\n

Anyway, another recipe was a “Milo” because one of his sons was lactose intolerant and couldn’t drink the normal Milo. Instead, this recipe is made of avocado, almond milk, cacao powder, cocoa powder and coconut water. I can’t remember if there was a plant sugar added but mostly it tasted good and it really depends on how rich you want it to taste.<\/p>\n

Apparently since almond milk is very clear, to get that ‘rich’ taste on how regular milk is, you can add avocado cause that’s buttery.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All the ingredients were available at Mahota at Kitchener Complex so that’s convenient if I ever want to go buy it.<\/p>\n

Double convenient cause it’s the same building where my comic store (G&B) and ukulele shop (Ukulele Movement) is at right now.<\/del><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There was one more recipe he demo-ed which was a protein bar and after that, we got to try it on our own.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Alright, a spirulina protein bar. Let’s do this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dates are totally delicious but I haven’t tried spirulina before.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

OK I TRIED IT. That’s my bar? It looks like a bar but anyway I brought it home to chill in the fridge as stated by him to get it more set and then ATE IT.<\/p>\n

Results: I liked it.<\/p>\n

But then dates are sweet and dates plus oats and anything else tastes good to me. Heheheh, so ok. I now have learned how to make my own protein bar!<\/p>\n
