I have to admit that I am a health-food addict. I'm not crazy psycho about it, but I do love it.
Whole grains, black beans, quinoa, red peppers, and spinach speak to my heart. My mom calls my recipes 'weird' and 'different'. :) They're actually really yummy, but don't typically include cream of chicken soup. I try to limit eating dessert to once a week- I make myself EARN those suckers!
Most mornings I'll make a smoothie for breakfast- the ingredient list:
Organic, nonfat, plain yogurt
Tofu
Pure orange juice
Banana
Frozen strawberries
And protein powder if I'm feeling extra wild
It has taken some time, but I have been able to teach Lane this very complicated recipe. I have entrusted my breakfast to him a little at a time, and some mornings he will take over the breakfast-creating responsibilities.
This morning I went out for a run and before I left he told me that he would make our smoothies while I was gone.
This is how it went down:
I come back in huffing and puffing, grab the waiting beauty of a smoothie out of the fridge excited to replenish my body with some healthy strong stuff.
I get about halfway through and look over at The Boy who is grinning ear to ear.
Me: That make me nervous... What?
L: How's your smoothie?
Me: Delicious...
L: I put a secret in there... ICE CREAM! A couple scoops of it! Isn't it great!
I have no words for this. Apparently we still need to work on what exactly does, and does not qualify as a health food.
Ha ha. Well at least it was a good surprise and not something you can really complain about. Still, sounds like he needs to go over the ingredients one more time.
ReplyDeleteToo funny! I guess it could have been worse. I can't even imagine what my husband would put into my smoothie. Maybe you should tape the recipe to the blender.
ReplyDeleteYeah, me and Lane would get along like peas and carrots. :)
ReplyDeletelol! This is too funny:)
ReplyDeleteI'm new to your blog and look forward to reading more! Love meeting other army wives!
oh I am laughing. I understand you though, I love to eat healthy too. It is so much more satisfying! =)
ReplyDeletelol I used to tease my friend that I had my own "protein shakes" fat free ice cream, fat free milk and a ton of peanut butter. Not exactly healthy! haha Sounds like your husband and I are on the same page. (Although I normally do try and eat healthy)
