What's wrong with me?!
| Mon, 07-10-2006 - 12:11pm |
I'm sitting here at work thinking about how I can't wait to get home tonight and have a mango smoothie. A what?! Yes, a mango smoothie. A month ago I wouldn't have even considered eating mango in anything but salsa and now I'm looking forward to a mango smoothie as a nighttime treat! What's wrong with me :)? LOL!
Since you've started eating healthier/dieting, have you noticed that any of your cravings have changed? Don't get me wrong, I still love a good dessert, I just find that most of the time now I'm craving healthier treats.

I agree with you on this one, I actually LIKE munching on mini rice cakes while watching TV...
So, you are going to make and send me a mango smoothie right!?!?! Sounds YUMMY!LOL

You are so right! Now I crave mostly grilled veggies like mushrooms, peppers, steamed broccoli, and also fresh fruits like strawberries, melon, berries. When I want something more calorie dense I choose dried fruit and walnuts or other nuts and feel my happiest.
That sounds delish! Do you have a special recipe?
Not really. Tonight I just had one mango that I diced up and froze, then pureed it with 1 C of 1% milk. It has a fairly light flavor when you make it that way, and it's just sweet enough. I've also made it before with 1 mango, 1 peach, and 6 oz of fat free NSA strawberry yogurt, and that's super yummy!

Yes you are so right.. to my surprise I am craving healthy food too. Actually it's strange that I admit this, but healthy food tastes really good. Don't get me wrong, I sometimes crave a juicy burger or a huge ice cream LOL. Right now my craving is Flavored FF yogurt (higher in calories than plain, but for me is so worth it).. and banana milk smoothies.
You know something, when I read your post it struck me as very strange that people actually eat mango in salsa. We usually have mango smoothies, mango ice cream, mango juice, etc.. see a trend? Cold & sweet. I never tried to cook with mango before.. didn't even know it was possible
