Hello there,
Today I have a Ramadan Iftar Menu (Week 1) For those who follow me on the blog, I’m sincerely sorry for not posting as before. The blog has been reflected my self journey in what do I usually eat (gluten free & vegan meal some days, regular omnivore other days, and so on), and bake (Healthy and traditional). And what do I want to become an expert in. This blog is not only a website for business and generating income. I love that of course! But I will not post only for quantity, but for quality dishes, that are interesting in some way for YOU

Notes:
**This is a suggestive menu, Not a diet plan. It may not be suitable for your diet plan . What you should eat depends on your calorie needs, how much do you burn during workout, and your activity level, and your age. You may skip some of the courses, like salad or soup, if you think that you are full, also I didn’t list any portion. You may have to decide that based on your knowledge of your needs. These ideas of dishes are just to help you design your iftar meal.
** You don’t have to stick to every course every day, you can alternate between days, choosing what you like. However, the menu is based on meals that fit together, and maximizing your intake of meat/chicken , fruits and vegetables. Every course has a goal, different fruits, vegetable, protein source, and carbs source to help you stay on track of eating healthy and maximizing your intake, eat small portions of everything.
