Shouldn't it be Breakfast of champions?
Not so much
Every quarter my employer does an event to celebrate specific achievements
This quarter i got to go
Yay me!
However...
It was a Breakfast event
And my crappy food radar went off immediately
 |
| Thats me in the middle being hopeful! |
But i went in with a positive attitude
There should at least be fruit and, fingers crossed, maybe some oatmeal!
Alas there was not
We had sketchy looking eggs that must of come from some alien like chickens
We had sausages and bacon
There was what might have been wholewheat toast - hurrah!!!
But upon closer inspection it was already buttered
WHY???
So after a tiny pile of odd shaped eggs and a piece of whole wheat toast - I poured a small glass of juice for some kind of veggie/fruit consumption only to discover that it was the kind that came in frozen concentrated cylinders
So this leads me to my IRK of the day
Why do event planners forget about us healthy eaters???
I admit it, i cheat on my whole food healthy living ways occasionally
I have some of the naughty food that tastes SO good
Hello Cinnabon, i'm talking to you!
But during the week i focus really hard on eating well because it makes me feel good
No one wants a food baby and the immense need for a nap in the middle of a work day
FYI

October 13, 2010 Urban Word of the Day when you eat so much, that your stomach looks pregnant Jeez! I ate so much, I look like I am having a food baby! | ||
While they look good prior and taste good during consumption - I doubt anyone feels great after eating chocolate bars and sausages
At least i know i don't
Give someone a fruit salad and a yummy bowl of oatmeal or a buckwheat bake and they will feel peppy all day
So my question is - What do you do when events happen and you know it won't be the best food?
Me?: I will be running home on my lunch to prepare a giant green smoothie to partake in this afternoon in an attempt to offset the unfortunate food of this morning
What Green Smoothie will i be enjoying???
Glad you asked
Breakfast Blues Green Smoothie
Ingredients
1/2 frozen banana
1/3 cup of frozen blueberries
1 cup of almond milk
1 icecube
1 tsp of chia seeds
3 drops of stevia
1 tsp of peanut butter
2 large handfuls of spinach
Directions
1. Throw it in your blender (apologize for taking it away from griddler, they are becoming close now that they sit on the kitchen counter together during the move prep)
2. Take the fur baby for a quick walk so you can go to UFC class after work and you won't have to worry about her bladder, its enough you have to worry about your own!
3. Drink at your desk while speaking in soothing tones to your stomach that you are sorry for putting it through that this morning - tomorrow will be a breakfast cookie for sure!

I admit i forced 2 coworkers to try this smoothie
I'm kinda pushy when it comes to this healthy eating
They were both surprised that something that looks so obnoxious can actually taste good!
Welcome to my world friends - obnoxious AND tasty :o)
See you tomorrow for fashion friday! I need your input on what to spend my birthday $ on
