7 Days Family Meal Plan Kenya( Kenyan food timetable)

After the December holidays, of eating meat and all the delicious foods, in January Kenyans always go back to their default settings.

This means they are broke and eat foods they would normally, in the middle of the month if that advance does not come through. If you ask me; Every January Kenyans go through a healthy eating journey, which we do not realize. All the foods mentioned are super good for your overall health.

Let us look at this TOP 10 FOODS

GITHERI

Just like cabbage, most Kenyans do not f**ck with githeri. We ate it so much in high school, that whenever we see it on a dinner table we cringe. It is a mixture of maize and beans, boiled together then fried to your preference.

Is it healthy? Yes 100% and packed with proteins and carbohydrates. Here is how you make a simple but delicious githeri.

SUKUMAWIKI (COLLARD GREEN)

This is a go to meal for Kenyans when broke. Add eggs or Avocado if in season and you have a balanced diet. Here is a video of how to make this delicious meal served with ugali.

SPINACH

Just like sukumawiki, you can have spinach with eggs and ugali. They are packed with iron and good for your overall health. Here is a video of how to make them.

CABBAGE

This is a healthy vegetable hated by most Kenyans. Maybe it is because it was served in some Kenyan boarding high schools a lot and most hospitals serve this to their patients.

The negativity aside, cabbage is packed with lots of nutrients that are good for your body. Here is a video of how to make it, served with rice.

FRIED EGGS
