Hey y'all! Do you have any advice about making smoothies? Like, what kinds of fruit and veggies go well together, what combos very much don't work, and especially if you have any advice on what frozen fruits or veggies work best. I am thinking about trying making smoothies but I know pretty much nothing about it lol

Best Strawberry Banana Smoothie

2 cups frozen strawberries

1 banana, frozen

1 cup milk of your choice (I like almond milk)

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Ice, to desired consistency

tips for making the best strawberry banana smoothie:

Use frozen strawberries for a thicker, creamier smoothie.

Ripe bananas will add sweetness to your smoothie.

Use your favorite milk of choice.

My current favorite thing for breakfast as a busy college student is a banana! Banana’s are amazing. I find them light enough to eat before dance class, but filling enough to hold me over till lunch! I also like to have oat milk with it! I buy the Silk Kids Blend, it has 8g of protein! Also lots of added vitamins and minerals since it is for kids. All together that makes my breakfast 225 calories, which I don’t hate, especially since I tend to skip dinner.

Leap Day Spell

The Earth takes 365 days and roughly six hours to orbit the Sun. Leap Day, occurring on February 29th, is a corrective measure to include those extra hours.

Do you work very hard but are not appreciated at your job? Do you give generously in a relationship but are not reciprocated? Have you been eating healthy without noticing any effect on your body?

As above, so below. Leap Day is the time for correcting mismatching things in life.

STEP 1: The Protest

At any time during the 24 hours of a Leap Day, write down on a piece of paper, in just one sentence, what you wish to correct in your life.

If you have more than one grievance, choose that which pains you the most. The one that, if set right, will give you the greatest relief.

Using natural paper uncoated with polymers, as well as pencil instead of processed ink, will help you connect to nearby supernatural earth-dwellers.

STEP 2: The Appeal

On the back of the paper, write with your non-dominant hand these eleven names:

Abbac, Abdac, Istac, Audac, Castrac, Cuac, Cusor, Tristator, Derisor, Detestator, Incantator

They are demons who work for the old gods. They punish the mischievous and the cruel with scorn and ridicule.

The struggle you feel while using your opposite hand is what will make them take notice of you.

STEP 3: The Judgement

Put your paper and a single banana peel in a small unpainted metal pail. Fill it up with water. Place it where the light from the Sun or the Moon can reach it.

A banana peel, though considered trash, is rife with vitamins and minerals. Your protest will be weighed by the demons against it: What has more worth, your complaint or a piece of garbage?

STEP 4: The Waiting

After exactly eleven hours have passed, use the liquid in the pail to water a plant. Respectfully dispose of the paper and the banana peel together.

If the old gods’ minions have found your protest worthy, that aspect of your life will begin correcting itself in the next few days.

If nothing has happened in eleven days, it means they have decided that whatever unfairness you are suffering is well-deserved. That it is payment for how you too have treated others unfairly before.

Avocado & Spinach Superfood Smoothie

Ingredients:

1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted

2 cups fresh spinach leaves

1 banana, preferably frozen

1 tablespoon chia seeds, plus extra for garnish

1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant milk of your choice)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt or a dairy-free alternative for a vegan option

Honey or agave syrup to taste (optional)

Ice cubes (optional, if you prefer a colder smoothie)

Edible flowers and thin slices of lime or lemon for garnish

Instructions:

Blend the Base:

In a high-powered blender, combine the avocado, spinach, banana, chia seeds, almond milk, and Greek yogurt. If you like your smoothie a little sweeter, add honey or agave syrup to taste.

Adjust Consistency:

Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick for your liking, add more almond milk to reach the desired consistency. If you didn’t use a frozen banana and want your smoothie colder, add a few ice cubes and blend again.

Garnish:

Pour the smoothie into a tall glass. Sprinkle additional chia seeds on top for an extra nutrient boost.

Decorate:

Decorate with edible flowers and citrus slices for a beautiful and appealing presentation.

Serve:

Serve immediately while fresh and enjoy! This smoothie isn’t just a treat for the eyes; it’s packed with vitamins, fiber, and healthy fats. The avocado provides creaminess as well as heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, the spinach offers iron and other minerals, and the chia seeds add a good dose of omega-3 fatty acids. It's a perfect start to the day or a refreshing pick-me-up in the afternoon!

Touma: Oh, you bought bananas.

Kento: Yeah, gotta make sure I get my daily potassium K.

Touma: …p-potassium K?

Kento: …I mixed up vitamin K and potassium.

Rintaro: Potassium isn’t vitamin K. Vitamin K is actually called phylloquinone.

Kento: Isn’t potassium denoted by K?

Rintaro: You’re thinking of potassium the element, on the periodic table. It’s not a vitamin, it’s a mineral.

Kento: So… bananas? Don’t they have potassium?

Rintaro: They do, but only 9% of your daily intake. You’d be better off eating spinach or avocado.

Touma: …I’m totally calling bananas potassium K from now on.

Some Warnings For Birth Control

I just recently started birth control and I’ve been doing a lot of research on it so that I can keep track of my symptoms and what not. I had extremely painful periods and needed the birth control or else I’d be throwing up, shaky, and all sorts of other bad things.

Anyways, I started looking into depression prevention methods for myself. I’ve had depression many times before and I know birth control can cause it, so I’m taking preemptive measures. While I was looking at the article I read, I found out that not only is birth control an inflammatory, but it causes vitamin depletions.

These nutrient depletions could be an underlying cause to so many peoples’ depression when they take birth control. I’m angry that this isn’t in the normal list of symptoms and that I have to specifically look for it. I searched it up after I saw it in the article and it’s completely true! I’m pissed that this has to be specifically searched up when it should be listed in the symptom list. People knowing about this could not only make them healthier, in terms of vitamins and nutrients, but make them healthier mentally, even if they’re not taking birth control.

The vitamins, acids, and minerals that are typically depleted are vitamin E; vitamin C; Vitamin B2, B6, and B12; magnesium; folic acids; zinc; the amino acid tyrosine; and selenium. I went and gathered a list of foods that would help keep these vitamins, minerals, and acid levels mostly normal (but I would recommend supplements if you can’t have any of these). I recommend doing your own research and figuring out what is best for you; I’m not a doctor and I’m certainly not a dietitian.

Vitamin B2: Almonds, whole oats, whole grain barley, quinoa, wild rice, soybeans, beef, salmon, pork, spinach, avocado, eggs, collard greens, romaine lettuce, milk, legumes, chicken, turkey.

Vitamin B6: Chickpeas, beef, turkey, brown rice, potatoes, chestnuts, salmon, poultry, milk, carrots, spinach, green peas, bananas, avocado.

Vitamin B12: Salmon, Yogurt, eggs, nutritional yeast, cheese, pork, milk, beef, chicken, turkey.

Vitamin C: Oranges, lemon, brussel sprouts, mango, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, cauliflower, tomatoes, cantaloupe, broccoli, strawberries, mustard greens, pineapple.

Vitamin E: Almonds, broccoli, hazelnut, asparagus, pumpkin, mango, peanut butter, spinach, pine nuts, mustard greens, tomatoes.

Magnesium: Almonds, pecans, spinach, black beans, avocado, cashews, pumpkin seed, chia seed, potatoes, leafy greens, brown rice, peanuts, yogurt, salmon, dark chocolate, tofu, bananas, legumes.

Zinc: Beef, pork, chicken, pine nuts, peanuts, cashews, almonds, legumes, seeds, dairy products, oats, black beans.

Selenium: Pork, beef, chicken, eggs, Brazil nuts, salmon, grains, turkey, brown rice, sunflower seeds, lentils, baked beans, oatmeal, spinach, milk, yogurt, pistachios, bananas.

Folic Acids: Broccoli, Brussel sprouts, cabbage, kale, spring greens, spinach, peas, chickpeas, kidney beans, legumes, asparagus, eggs, beets, citrus fruits, bananas.

Tyrosine: soy products, chicken, turkey, fish, peanuts, almonds, avocados, bananas, milk, cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese, lima beans, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds.

You can take prenatal supplements that will give you a good dosage of all of these! There are supplements for people who need them and we need to be aware of what the doctors aren’t telling us. People who take birth control are more likely to become depressed or suicidal, even more so in teens, so this needs to be known. I don’t care if it stops 1 or a 1000 cases of depression/suicide because even if it helps prevent 1, just 1, then EVERYONE needs to know. This could save someone, even if it doesn’t seem like a lot or doesn’t seem that serious.

What each vitamin, mineral, acid does for your body:

Vitamin B2: important for the growth, development, and function of the cells in your body, energy production, and metabolism of fats, drugs, and steroids

Vitamin B6: important for normal brain development and for keeping the nervous system and immune system healthy

Vitamin B12: helps keep blood and nerve cells healthy. It's also essential for DNA synthesis, red blood cell formation, and converting food into energy

Vitamin C: needed for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. It is used to: Form an important protein called collagen, used to make skin, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels

Vitamin E: vital for vision, reproduction, and the health of the brain, blood, and skin

Magnesium: better sleep, increased energy levels and improved mood, helps the heart maintain a healthy rhythm and is involved in the regulation of blood pressure and cholesterol production

Zinc: helps your immune system and metabolism function, important to wound healing and your sense of taste and smell

Selenium: reduction in cancer risk, cardiovascular, Alzheimer's disease, thyroid disease, and beneficial effects on reproductive health and fertility

Folic Acids: helps your body make new cells, reduces your risk for heart disease, stroke and some types of cancers

Tyrosine: essential component for the production of several important brain chemicals called neurotransmitters, including epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine. Neurotransmitters help nerve cells communicate and influence mood. Tyrosine also helps produce melanin, the pigment responsible for hair and skin color

^This is just a basic list and does not include everything that these vitamins do. Remember to always do your own research, I may not have had everything right!

Special Müller Mail: RDY edition

Hello everyone

and welcome to the Müller Mail Special.

FC Bayern's season is now officially over. Now the home European Championship is just around the corner and I can hardly wait to experience a great football festival in our country - as a player on the pitch, but also as a football fan.

We will be talking in detail about this major event in the coming weeks. In this special edition of Müller Mail, I would like to tell you about a project that I have put my heart and soul into.

After months of development work, RDY Protein Meal, the new protein drink meal that I launched together with ESN, is finally on the market. I was hooked from the very first idea, back in early 2023.

But first things first.

What is RDY?

We've all been there - a hectic everyday life, little time for a balanced meal, we're on the go and still want to eat smart.

This is exactly where the RDY drinkable meal comes into play for me.

RDY stands for "ready" and is a protein drinkable meal. Together with the experts at ESN, we have worked on a recipe that delivers the best possible performance and, in my opinion, is now the tastiest drinkable meal on the market.

RDY now contains 38g of high-quality protein, fiber, important vitamins and minerals. The energy/carbohydrates come from valuable MCT oil, among other things. And what makes me particularly happy is that all four flavors taste really nice.

Why RDY?

My basic idea is to pass on my experience and knowledge of nutrition and performance.

And now I even have the opportunity to launch products on the market with my partner ESN that help me personally to nourish my body better.

ESN is one of the leading German supplement manufacturers and the collaboration has been extremely positive so far.

Our first product is RDY Protein Meal.

During the development of the RDY protein drinkable meal, I was also in the laboratory several times to fine-tune the recipe and test the taste.

Protein was an important factor here.

Science currently agrees that a sufficient protein intake is not only filling, but also essential for a healthy and efficient body. As an athlete, I try to consume around 150g of protein (1.5-2g per kilo of body weight) a day. Of course, this may vary for you, so it's best to find out.

150 grams of protein a day is not so easy to achieve, even with three freshly prepared and balanced meals. An RDY Protein Meal often comes at just the right time.

One thing is important to me: drinking meals should not replace a balanced and freshly prepared meal. Rather, they are a much better alternative to snacks with empty calories such as chocolate bars, jelly babies, potato chips and the like. To be honest, we often snack our way through the day.

This is where RDY comes in and offers an excellent solution when you need something quick and easy, but still want to provide your body with high-quality nutrients. And of course it's really tasty too 😋

My RDY favorite.

I love all the varieties, but if I had to choose a favorite, it would currently be the Milk Chocolate. The creamy chocolate flavor immediately reminds me of the delicious cocoa of my childhood.

A little Müller tip: In recent weeks, I've been drinking RDY Protein Meal in the evening with a handful of nuts and a few berries. This gives me something tasty to drink and something to bite into.

During the day, the banana flavor has currently taken the lead.

So I'm all the more excited to find out which variety you love.

Exclusively at REWE & online.

Now it's your turn.

The RDY Protein Drinking Meals are available exclusively in your REWE store. I'd be delighted if you'd pick up a drink and give it a try. For those who prefer to order online, you can do so directly from ESN using this link: To the ESN website

Your opinion on RDY counts.

Now I'm looking forward to hearing what you have to say. The initial feedback has been great and the drink is already sold out in some REWE stores. But whether it's positive or constructive - I really want to hear your honest opinion. Let me know how you like my protein drink and whether it helps you in your everyday life.

You can also send me photos or videos of you enjoying your new favorite drink. Or simply link to your Instagram or TikTok post about RDY Protein Meal.

With your permission (please be sure to add a comment) I will share some of them on my Instagram channel.

I will be giving away 3 RDY surprise packages from me among all entries.

Thank you so much for your continued support. Without you, my fans, it wouldn't be half as nice. You only win together. And that's exactly what we'll be doing at the upcoming European Championships.

Here's to an unforgettable football festival, keep your chin up and stay healthy,

Your Thomas

Ooo, dogs are the best judge of characters, please!

Thank you for the ask! This fic is turning into a big one!

Snippet:

“He could be reacting to stress, or depression,” Bethany continues in his ear. “Or he could just not be used to kibble. Try some wet food, that might entice him. Some dogs simply will not eat unfamiliar foods, no matter how hungry they are. You can also try adding extras on top to entice him. 

“But you’re right, we don’t want him missing any meals. If the wet food doesn’t work, try what you usually give him and see what he does. If he eats, then we’ll want to start introducing more vitamin and mineral abundant foods along with it, spinach, bananas and fish, that sort of thing—hamburger patties aren’t the best nutrition wise. But either way, we can work on introducing more typical dog foods into his diet later, for now we just want him to eat.”

My Easy Go-TO ADHD/Depression Meals

I was telling my friend abt my depression meals and she said i should post them on my blog abt food and i went wow yeah maybe i should

this is part a recipe list for me, but you can use it too if u want mmmmm yeah veg i table

Shitty Poke Bowl

Microwaved rice (this is like $0.98 at my local grocery store)

Bag steamed veggies/canned veggies (these are generally pretty cheep all round, canned is cheaper obv but the frozen ones taste better imo)

microwaved chicken nugs

sawce (soy sauce, oyster sauce, spicy sauce, chicken sauce, idk bro go wild)

Microwave all, combine in bowl, sauce, enjoy

Frozen pizza obv

go for veggie ones, they're more filling and get a good amnt of vitamins and minerals you're probably lacking

Yogurt parfait

melt frozen fruit

low fat yogurt

add something cruncy like cereal

Veggies and hummus

not technically a full meal

cut up veggies, precut is nice but that shit is expensive, so either buy it that way or precut your shit literally as soon as you get home, like don't even sit down, wash and cut that shit

hummus of your choice

maybe a cracker can join the party to round things out

Chicken Wrap

this takes a little more effort but it's nice

air fry/bake/microwave some chicken nugs/strips

put that shit on a tortilla

add lettuce (i can but just a bag/box of lettuce from the grocery store for like 2.87)

add cheese (sandwich cheese (like the flat ones) works well (i use colby jack because i like it))

sauce that shit, ranch, buffalo, mystery, i don't give a shit just add a liquid

frozen dumplings + veg

go for the frozen dumplings that have veg and meat, preferably ones without chicken because everything else is so chicken heavy and you need the nutrients from other meats that chicken doesn't provide

frozen edamame is a good veg for this one

Snacks:

pickles, just like straight out of the jar

same with kimchi

handful of goldfish, i got individually packaged ones from costco for like $9 and the box has lasted me almost two months so far

cereal, maybe a bowl, maybe just a hand full

hand fruit (like bananas, apples, peaches, oranges) shit you just eat and hold in your hand and don't really have to think about prepping

instant soup

hummus, again

cheese sticks

a piece of whole wheat bread, toasted if you're feeling fancy (i buy the enriched shit because i need all the help i can get)

carrots, baby carrots are nice to snack on, but i won't like there's something satisfying about biting a chunk out of a whole carrot

bell peppers, i genuinely just eat these like apples sometimes

the flavored tuna sachets from blue fin

instant mac n cheese pots
