I'd been intrigued with these really easy yogurt bowls that I decided to try one myself today. In this experiment, I have plain soy yogurt, 1/2 banana, and some plain Cheerios. After this picture was taken I found my cinnamon which made for a nice little flavor addition. I snuck some soy protein powder into my orange juice since with surgery upcoming, I need all the protein I can get so my body can easily heal.The only problem was this experiment wasn't very filling! I could easily fix that by using granola and perhaps some walnuts instead of plain Cheerios. Granola is going on my grocery list now.
I thought I'd also share what has to be one of my favourite teas I've ever had: Black Lychee. It came from a store near Pike Place Market in Seattle called Vital Tea Leaf. My dearest and I stumbled upon it while out for my birthday, and being the big tea fan that I am we had to take a peek! It was an amazing little store. They have free tea samplings, and believe you me we sampled quite a bit that day. This ended up being the winner by far. It's got the black tea flavor you'll know and love, but also just a hint of natural fruity sweetness from the lychee.I do love my teas with milk, and have been experimenting with different milks to put in my teas since I'm allergic to dairy milk proteins. So far I have tried plain soy milk, plain rice milk, and am trying out unsweetened almond milk. Soy tasted great, but I am trying to cut down on soy where I can so in comes rice milk. That was much too watery and I didn't care for the taste, so I switched to almond. Ding! We have a winner! I bought one plain and one vanilla carton of almond, so I'll see which I like best in the end.
Have some goodies planned for tonight with the help of my folks. Major cooking operations do require a helping hand or two because of my TOS pain unfortunately, but hopefully I will have culinary success to report on later!
