An ideal menu

As a starter, we thought that a zucchini cake would be a perfect introduction. For what ? 1/ Because zucchini is the ultimate slimming vegetable. 2/ With its ultra-mild flavor – some will say bland, we don’t blame them far from it, but zucchini must be fragrant to reveal the best of itself – it supports a good number of seasonings. Herbs, spices, aromatics, everything suits it perfectly! In addition, this cake has everything good since it contains only the necessary minimum of fat, and is cooked in a bain-marie. To try it is to adopt it !

As for the starter, there are cooked vegetables, for the main course, let’s opt for raw with a salad of raw vegetables, strawberries and raspberries. Legumes, red fruits, spicy radishes, refreshing cucumber, all drizzled with a simple spoonful of olive oil, and here is the perfect dish!
We already hear you: where is the protein? The starter already contains eggs, and if you want to complete the dish, you can definitely add pink shrimp. Thanks WHO ?

Dessert is always the inevitable moment of the angel and the devil placed on our shoulders. “Too sweet… Too fatty… Too much of both… In the end, what do I choose? » Don’t worry, if fresh juicy summer fruits are always the quick and easy option, fortunately it is not the only one!
Paying attention to your figure does not mean consuming exclusively raw products, without any form of creativity! We will always defend gourmet cuisine, whether as part of a dietary rebalancing or not.

For dessert, we chose a strawberry and pistachio tabbouleh with orange blossom. Already because it contains cereals, this will promote the feeling of satiety in the long term. Also because this recipe contains almost everything that is recommended, namely fruits (you can replace the strawberries with peaches or nectarines to vary the dish), oilseeds with pistachios, herbs and flower. orange tree for fragrance, but also honey for deliciousness. Of course you can reduce the dose if you wish, but never forget: a diet or a dietary rebalancing is a marathon, not a sprint. Better to hold on and be regular along the length!
