But Wow. A Dream. A Literal Fucking Dream.

Dont like broccoli?

I didnt really mind broccoli before

Like i had either broccoli or green beans w/ almost every (savory type) meal that also included protein and stuff and used it as a low cal filler for more volume and as a palate cleanser tbh

I liked the taste but i wouldnt say i liked it more than a jap sweet potato (GOSH WHY DO THEY HAVE TO BE EVEN MORE CALORIFIC THAN A NORMAL SWEET POTATO)

bUT BITCHHHH when i started Roasting em florets (either in the oven or in the microwave) instead of boiling

when they start getting brown stripes on the stem fUCKKKKK

I could now just eat it straight up instead of roasted jap sweet potatoes (i still like j.st.potaters better buttttttttt)

This has a jerky like texture which<3

AND no microwaving veggies DOES NOT make it lose most/all of its nutritional value,,,, thats just a widespread misconception based on hypothesis and findings from few earlier studies, that have been disproved since, which have been exacerbated by popular media...

notice how after boiling veggies youre able to make a broth? Ye those are "lost" nutrients that came from the veg..

Ofc some nutrients are gonna be lost through microwaving but not AS much since its a quicker cooking process

You can look further into this subject if it interests you, but i won't bore yall too much w/ info i find interesting

But also hey if you like boiled/steamed broccoli im not taking that away from ya. prepare it however you wish, just sharing a way I found brocolli more enjoyable for me thats all

23 calorie chocolate shake✨ (large)

ingredients:

• 1.5 cups water (0)

• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (7.5)

• 1 tbs cocoa powder (10)

• 2 tbs stevia (0)

• 1/4 tsp liquid stevia (0)

• 1/2 tsp cornstarch (5)

• 5-7 ice cubes (0)

how to make:

• put everything in a blender and blend until everything is smooth and combined

this shake is so good if you want something sweet for low cals🥺 the actual calorie count is 22.5 for the whole serving but I just round it up to 23. It’s very sweet so if that isn’t your thing I’d suggest just adding 1 tbs of stevia instead of 2 (any 0 cal sweeter will work) you can also take out the cornstarch if you want, it’s supposed to help thicken the recipe up a bit since it’s so water based but honestly there’s not much difference w/ out it plus you save 5 cals so 🤷🏽‍♀️it’s also very filling so if you need something to hold you over until you eat again this should do the trick
