My Fruitive Challenge: Day 133 — Experimenting with Smoothies

-

 My wife is not adventurous with her food. She’s British is her excuse. She prefers not to know how I’ve prepared my meals and she doesn’t believe me when I say my meals are delicious. She’s tried my diet food. Usually she doesn’t get past the smell test. The fact that I’m mostly SOS-free doesn’t help.  Yesterday, she squirmed when I said my smoothie was delicious and asked if she wanted to know what was in it.

No.

But it was so delicious!

Okay, but it better not be gross.

Frozen fruit mix, coconut milk,…

Okay.

Peanuts, maple syrup, water, …

Yes, and that’s it?

Leafy greens, just a little.

No, now it’s starting to turn.

Beans.

What!

Beans.

Beans?! What?! No, that’s so wrong!

But it was so delicious!

You’re so weird!

Do you remember how everyone loved my sweet potato brownies? It’s the same concept.

Ughhh…!

Here’s the catch though, for the first two months of the diet, I’m also committed to eating SOS free diet, which means no added salt, oils, or sugar in the food I consume. I have been pretty worried about that part of the plan because I love my salt, oil, and sugar, but I have to say that I had a really good first day of it. I ate fresh fruit for breakfast, rice and salad for lunch, and a rice and beans bowl for dinner. The trick for me is to add a variety of no salt seasonings to taste and to toss in a mix of vegetables including avocado. I had one mishap worth mentioning though

We signed up with Shipt for grocery-getting. It's our first time and it feels luxurious! I could get used to this! Like the first time I felt When Grubhub delivered me a hamburger, But better. Hey, the Shipt employee just texted me. She's on her way. Wait. A breaking update from News 8: "Shipt: Meijer team members at 3 stores test positive for COVID-19" Me: Uhh. Laura: She's here! Stand back. Don't touch. Smile. Say thank you. Wave goodbye. Spray the bags. Wipe the groceries clean. Did you get the receipt? Maybe we can return the COVID-19 For some in-store credit? For now, let's get dinner ready And eat nutritiously! A crown of luxury indeed Fit for a king and queen! I can't get used to this.
