We All Have Promises to Keep – Apple-Carrot Snack

… I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep …
Robert Frost

Now it’s officially over. When you’re past New Year, there is nothing else to look forward to, unless you have already started looking forward to the end of the world which is supposed to happen one of next 360 days. There remains only one thing that does not let you sleep tight at night – your New Year resolution. And it’s good if you were lucky enough (well, I’d rather say smart enough), and you’ve decided to improve yourself (be more independent, reduce stress and take up self-development course) or take a trip – not too much work to be honest. But even our government tells us that most popular self-delusion is “lose weight”, “eat healthy food”, “get fit”. Kind of wise of them to stress something like “get a better job” or “get out of debt” less and less… It is, for sure, easy to make food-related promises when you’re stuffed and happy. But in case you’re as much of a sweet junky as I am (obviously, meat pies do not count), and if your body requires lots of sugar to survive through the day, it gets more and more tough every day. So here is a little something to help you stick to the resolution and to land into the “Nice List” next year.

Apple - Carrot Snack

You will need:

2                       Apples

1                       Carrot

4 teaspoons       Honey

Method:

1. Peel carrot, grate it.

2. Peel apple, grate it.

Tip: keeping the skin on the apple will ensure you consume more vitamins.

3. Mix apple and carrot together in a bowl. Dress your fruit salad with honey. Stir again.

4. Apple-carrot snack it ready to be served. Bon appétit!

Turns out it’s not that hard to be clever and keep promises, make body happy with your choice and raise personal self-esteem. Seems like a sweet deal to me.

Sincerely yours,
Mrs Lovett
