Over the past weekend, i spent the better part of my Saturday making bread rolls for the coming week. That way, i’m able to determine what goes into my food as well as eat healthier. By the time i was done with baking the first batch of bread i had already started feeling off. This usually happens when i’m fagged out and famished. To satisfy my hunger, i treated myself to this tasty low-fat sandwich with one of the freshly made hot bread rolls with chilled zobo drink. Although prawns could be really expensive when compared to other seafoods sold in the market, it’s best to start including it in your diet. Prawns are considered to be one of the healthiest foods in the world with an excellent source of high-quality protein and several important vitamins and minerals that support good health such as omega 3 fatty acids and a great way to get iron, zinc and vitamin E.
