One Fit Ramadan

I realized I forgot to post last night about what I had for Iftar so I will roll it up into this post. I made some chicken scallions and rosemary with a side of mashed sweet potatoes. I made enough for 1.5 servings so I could have some in the morning too.

• 1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into pieces
• 1 lb chicken thigh, diced
• sea salt and chili powder, to taste
• 2 Tbs of coconut oil
• 2 scallions, sliced in to thick rings
• 2 Tbs of rosemary, chopped

Wash the sweet potatoes and place them in a large pot full of water. Bring the pot to a boil and add 1 tsp of sea salt. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup of water from the pot and drain the rest. Pour the water you saved back into the pot and mash up the sweet potato.

Season the chicken with the salt and chili powder. Heat up a skillet with 2 Tbs of coconut oil. Once the skillet is hot, add in the scallions and rosemary. Saute it for a minute or so and then add in the chicken. Mix and flip until the chicken is brown. Cover it and let it simmer for 10 minutes.

I served the chicken with the mashed sweet potato. It was an exceptional combo. I wasnt as hungry as I thought I was so I ended up saving a decent amount for later and Sahoor.

For Sahoor, as promised, I really changed things up. I decided to go egg-less. I have had eggs almost every single day this past month but it was time to break the habit. I had some of the leftover chicken from the night before that I heated up. I also made a little treat with a banana and almond butter.

• 1 banana
• 2 Tbs of almond butter
• 2 Tbs of coconut milk

Cut the banana into small slices. Add in the almond butter and coconut milk. Simple as that.I love fruit with almond butter so this was great for me. The almond butter helps process sugar a lot better from fruits so it won’t keep you up and your body won’t store it. Also, the protein and fats you get from it are great. The coconut milk just made it easier to eat by softening things up. The small taste of coconut gave it the perfect carribean taste I needed in the morning.

Very simple Sahoor. I’ll try to do something different tomorrow too!
