Super green smoothie for all the vitamins and such 😀. Eating healthy is easy, working out is a struggle right now 🤦🏽‍♀️. This one has 🥬 spinach, 🍌1 banana, small chunk of ginger, 🍓 a few strawberries, and a 🥑whole avocado with 🥥coconut water. The avocado was so perfectly ripe, I was almost tempted to save it for a nice guac 😩😩 . . . #inabudhabi #mydubai #foodie #abudhabilife #abudhabifoodie #dubaifood #dubaifoodie #bestphotoae #canadian #canadainuae #greensmoothie #smoothie #healthy #breakfast #spinach #banana #avocado #strawberry #ginger #coconut #fitfam #fruits #veggies #vegan #vegetarian (at Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates) https://www.instagram.com/lydialydzzz/p/BtxMGYKAjc5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tmyizvyhay8e

I was born in the year of the 🐇 so it only made sense to request for my sugar candy to be designed into one! #ChineseNewYear . . . . #inabudhabi #mydubai #foodie #abudhabilife #abudhabifoodie #dubaifood #dubaifoodie #bestphotoae #canadian #canadainuae #candy #china #newyear #holiday #sweettooth https://www.instagram.com/p/BtdJ-_ggoz1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15rvucew29bri

In honour of #ChineseNewYear, a few pics of my trip to China a few years ago (✔️it wasn’t even on my travel list ha!). 1. Duck blood soup - tastes better than it sounds, I promise 🍜! 2. Street food, super sugary frozen fruit 🍡. 3. Lunch at an office - kinda reminded us of prison food 😅. 4. Chinese wine - have you ever had 42% wine?🍾 And you CANNOT refuse a drink, it’s absolutely rude #nopressurebutpressure 😂🤯 . . . . #inabudhabi #mydubai #foodie #abudhabilife #abudhabifoodie #dubaifood #dubaifoodie #bestphotoae #canadian #canadainuae #blackexcellence #duckbloodsoup #China #chinesefood #touringchina #chinesewine #alcohol #streetfood (at Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtYNAURgxM0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=c8bvu6f79k67

This combo is so good I had to show it twice. All I did was melt my fave chocolate bar (previous post) into my hot chocolate, et voila! C’est magnifique 😍🍫☕️. . . . . . #chocolate #hotchocolate #lovechocolate #chocolatebar #caramilkchocolate #vacation #ottawa #foodie

Ćevapi is a grilled dish of minced meat, a type of skinless sausage, found traditionally in the countries of southeastern Europe and is SOOOO GOOOOD. Haven’t had this in like 10 years 🤤😩

Just made these delicious little three ingredient Christmas treats☺️. Delish 😊😊😊😊. Sadly, I didn’t find Pillsbury puff pastry so I used a not-so-good no name brand. Next time, Pillsbury! Thanks @cookwithgabbie for the recipe 🙌🏾 #cooking #homemade #baking #pastry #snack #treat #christmas

More cooking from this weekend. 😋The good thing about beans is that they’re high in protein so no, you don’t need to eat it with meat 🙄🙄#cooking #plantain #beans #redred #ghfood #ghanaian

This delicious coconut curry rice was inspired my @gourmetkim. She posted a recipe last week or so and I knew I had to try it. It can be eaten o it’s own, but I know *someone* is gonna have shitor with it 😆😆

Definitely one of the best brunches I’ve ever been to - Cho Gao @ Intercon AD 🍾🥂 @chogaoicad #inabudhabi #bestbitesabudhabi

Chicken and shiitake mushroom - definitely a combo I’ll be trying in my kitchen in the near future 😍 I forget the name of the restaurant but it was at @yasmarinaabudhabi

Throwing it back to this wonderful treat at a cute little cafe at Al Seef Walk 🤗🤗#inabudhabi #waffle #snack #yummy #alseef
