What gives us the energy to do whatever we want to do in life very comfortably is food. People believe the best way to stay healthy and energetic is through eating at least three square meals in a day. My problem with eating food is that I usually find it difficult to eat food in large quantities no matter how sweet that food is once I have eaten a small quantity I am okay. Here in this post, I will be using this opportunity to teach you how to prepare oha soup using cocoyam. ## **Breakfast** ![1000249605.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWspVPQ9Sh9RB6fP3Av76jijF7soQdzsKE4YLBPWeU6Ff/1000249605.jpg) Being Sunday I went to church and came back a bit late which was kind of late for me to have, I warmed the leftover rice that I didn't finish eating Saturday night and ate it as my breakfast which saved me the money I would have used in buying bread and other things. This simply means my breakfast for the day is jollof beans and rice. ## **Lunch** ![1000249878.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPbuVQXTMFLZekTujpq1BDsore7bRUKdMniaFGxJ3FcSq/1000249878.jpg) My lunch for the day is swallow with **oha soup**.

The salad fruit cost me the sum of ₦3,000 which is equivalent to 6.6 STEEM. I used the following ingredients; **coconut yogurt, watermelon, carrot,** and groundnut** to prepare the salad fruit. I ate this as dinner because of how filled up I was in the afternoon when I needed something light. **I am inviting: @dove11, @simonnwigwe, and @dave-hanny** **Cc:-** @jyoti-thelight
