TofuBlueberryBananaTortillaBeansLongRiceSorbet

Our photo wire thingy is in Tevita's office and until it's back later on today, I can't post what was for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!

Which is what this blog is about. Nothing fancy, just some food items that I've had to create out of necessity. I won't go into detail about the "necessity" part because how gross is the word gastrointestinal?? Just saying it makes my stomach churn. Get it? Gastrointestinal, stomach churn?? har har.

Anyway, there's a tofu berry banana smoothie that I accidentally made into a sorbet. Photos soon, but I think you might love it. And it cost a total of 1.50 to make. And it's two big servings! And it's only like . . . well, ok, if I start down the path of counting calories and adding up costs it might lead to me doing more work than I want to. Suffice it to say this smoothie/sorbet is cheap and healthy and so so good! That's saying a lot for me, by the way, because tofu is irritating. I get irritated by tofu like I do with mini vans that are double parked in a packed lot. Or like I do with haoles who dress all granola and earthy with the dreads and the tie dye and the birkenstocks, and then they go and USE BRAND NEW PLASTIC GROCERY BAGS. Get a life, wash your feet, and take care of the Aina, dirty teethed people!

Ahem . . . This is how irritating tofu is. . . And yet this smoothie/sorbet is quite delicious. It's one of those "I'll eat it everyday till I get sick of it and find a new obsession" kind of delicious. I did the same with hummus. I ate it three times a day for a year and I can only hope this smoothie will go the distance with me as well. It's packed with protein, it's low cal, and it absorbs most flavors fairly easily.

So until I get to posting pics, please take my word for it! (and malama aina)

  1. If you do this every day, I'll never have to plan another meal again--just do a lot of shopping. Where do you get your chicken?
