Smoothies

Avocado, frozen blueberries, almond milk. Tbsp of PB optional.

nice one. or almond butter sounds like a natural, too

apple, banana, a few almonds, fat free yogurt, fat free milk, cinammon

used to think dairy was unhealthy but i don't even know now. this is what i have been making for breakfast and it has a good macronutrient profile

i thought fat free dairy was, health-wise, the worst kind of dairy??

Yeah I've heard that too. But it seems healthier (to me) to get dietary fat from other sources, like avocadoes, almonds, and fish. If i was consuming mass quantities of full fat yogurt as a smoothie base it seems like that would be too much. Idk, it would be good to get a NN to weigh in

let me give you all some inspiration of the At Least I Didn't Do That variety.

the other day at the store i picked up some ingredients for my classic recipe, ~Innocent Smoothie~. it's pretty simple: yogurt, milk, strawberries, blueberries, peanut butter, and protein powder. when i got home my wife said "wow, those concord grapes are really fragrant" and i, a person with so much room to grow within my cranium, replied "yes they really are!" without considering any of the implications of our exchange.

today i made my Innocent Smoothie, and couldn't help but notice that the blueberries were a bit larger and darker than usual. also, they were all attached to stems. hmm, that's odd! persevering, i picked all of the mysterious blueberries off of the stems and continued making the smoothie. whoa, turns out those blueberries are actually concord grapes, weird! each of these tasty concord grapes come fully equipped with a hard seed, so i'm currently crunching down my innocent smoothie. while typing out this eating report, though, i've gotten kind of used to it, and according to the reputable article "Are Grape Seeds Edible? The Answer Might Blow Your Mind, they're actually kind of good for me! so look out smoothie nation, concord grapes are IN this season

i'm definitely trying to chew the seeds many times before swallowing though, so i don't have to search for the "is this ok when it comes out of my butt?" thread on ILTMI
