<smiling> as I write this post. I just posted a list of food on my FB status which are really satisfying to your taste buds. Healthy? not so much.... but no question about taste - hands down.
Have you ever tried the Mocha Java chiller from Sonic? I tell you - everytime I have it, much like today ;-), my taste buds thank me. Every sip is filled with the utmost delicious mocha flavored cold coffee. This was suggested by a friends son a few years back and i have been hooked ever since. Never feel happy to pay for any other drink from Sonic than my favorite Mocha java chiller. Satisfaction guaranteed!!
But.. I hate this 'but'.. healthwise it aint wise to have it on a regular basis. Course its a fast food joint where organic or healthy food are rarely served. Its almost unthought of. You dont get a strawberry smoothie with real strawberries in a fast food joint. Its usually a mix of substandard milk/heavy or whipping cream and strawberry syrup for the most part. You are left with making the smoothies at home. This is were you can improvise and trick your taste buds to like what you make and yet eat healthy.
My journey with mindful eating began a few years back and I have been experimenting with food. Am happy to say the smoothies I have made so far at home have been liked by kids and they are your toughest food critics when it comes to taste. So I can safely say I excel in smoothie making? :-D. A banana shake is usually a mix of half a scoop of vanilla ice cream(non-fat/fat-free), any flavored fat free yogurt, orange juice and a banana. Stick a colorful straw in a fancy glass and everyone gulps it down in a few seconds<Slurp>. So the trick to get kids to eat any fruit or even vegetables is to mask the flavor.
Happy experimenting!!
