Move Over Protein Shakes; Beetroot Juice Can Be Great Workout Drink - Expert Reveals

Protein shake is a staple for every fitness enthusiast. Most of them rely on extra protein intake to repair bones and muscles post workout. Protein shake is a popular supplement that also helps replenish energy drained out of the body during a strenuous workout. Today, protein shake is easily available in the market in powdered form. But it is, end of the day, a supplement (with added…

How many dishes can the guys make? As robots, I can see that they would have a lot of knowledge due to the internet, but do they have any criteria as to the theme of the restaurant or the amount of time it takes?

great question!

the restauarant is specifically a cha chaan teng, a Hong Kong style cafe so the majority of the menu revolves around that cuisine

however!! the DCA boys often introduce new menu items, as well as weekly and seasonal specials!

Sun is the most adventurous in cooking new dishes. he is very interested in learning new recipes, new cooking methods, ingredient substitutions, etc! he takes it all as a personal challenge to experiment with new recipes

Moon will often try new dishes based on current trends—like he would totally be making variations of the Dubai chocolate bar and tanghulu and cucumber salads right now haha! honestly if he could, he'd love to travel and try all different kinds of foods around the world

As the barista, Eclipse also experiments with new drinks. along with their standard cafe drinks (like tea, coffee, ovaltine, etc.) he also has a seasonal drink selection to match the themes of the season. so it's autumn now, he'd have pumpkin spice milk tea, sweet potato latte, and mooncake hot chocolate for mid-autumn festival—all decadent, warm and cozy drinks that feel like a warm hug!

they have an ever-changing “surprise me” special, which is a unique meal that combines the dishes they've been experimenting on. it's like a very casual omakase. it's not a very popular set, since it constantly changes, but it is at a reduced price. the customers’ feedback also helps them improve the dishes. see, the boys can eat (as an alternative way to charge) and they do have taste and scent receptors, but they struggle with textures and mouthfeel because they don't have a squishy human mouth. so getting customer feedback on their experiments really helps them out. i imagine the "surprise me" special would be popular among students who are on a tight budget and are willing to try something new each time, cuz even though it's a mystery, they know it's great value for the price since the boys put all their effort into all their cooking

*clenches teeth and fists* it's fine no one comments on how Dorian is more "lithe" than before. It's fine that he's not "nearly as bulky". It's fine that he doesn't sleep well then has to wake up just to be the sunny optimist the next day. It's fine that his strings are wound so tight that he's ready to snap.

It's fine that Dorian's health is being ignored. He's the new guy, right? Fresh faced? Not burdened by the trauma of the last few months, right?

I had 3 overly ripe platanos (plantains) so I decided to make a fresh vegetable soup with them. I just cooked from the heart without a recipe. It came out great!! I sautéed onions, green peppers, carrots, celery, mushrooms, scallions, zucchini, and, of course, the platanos. I seasoned it with salt, pepper, basil, oregano, and a little garlic powder. I sautéed 2 minced garlic cloves and a teaspoon of minced ginger in a separate pan. I added that and 4 cups of chicken stock to the pot. I let it boil until the carrots were tender. I then took my stick blender and blended the mixture until smooth. I added cream and mixed it up until it was fully incorporated. Then, I added cooked peas and sweet baby white corn. I served the soup with seasoned croutons and topped it with crispy onions. As I ate it, I felt myself getting healthier with every bite. 😁😋 It was good and good for me. I'm thinking of adding roasted chicken to it next time that I have a bowl to make it a complete meal. It was light and creamy and just delightful. I'm glad that the platanos got overly ripened. I do not like throwing away food so I had to come up with something to do with them. This turned out very well. I'll be making this again. It's good cold, too. Perfect for a hot summer day. I encourage everyone to cook your own food. You'll save a great deal of money, and you can make it just the way you like it. It's a great skill to have, and it's a lot of fun to do. My favorite part is when I get to sit down and eat my creation. Mmmmmmmm. In the words of Julia Child.... bon appétit!!

Idk if anyone else comes across this or maybe im being assmad about something that really isnt a pattern but does anyone else notice a lot of recipes that call themselves "healthy" actually mean "this meal is almost totally empty of calories nutrition and flavor"

I have been fascinated with @danbuettner ‘s work & study on the Blue Zones, also known as areas of the world of where the healthiest and longest living people (centenarians) reside. These people are the definition of longevity, so it’s worth studying their characteristics.

Where are the 5 Blue Zones?

🇺🇸Loma Linda, California (U.S.A.)

🇨🇷Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica

🇮🇹Sardinia, Italy

🇬🇷Ikaria, Greece

🇯🇵Okinawa, Japan

 

Blue Zone characteristics:

• 90% - 100% of their diet consists of whole, plant-based foods high in fiber!
Fruits, vegetables, tubers, nuts, beans (daily), whole grains 
NOTE: they retreat from dairy but will reach for goat & sheep milk products.

• Cruciferous veggies – broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower

• Cook & finish dishes with olive oil

• Supplement w/ fresh herbs & spices (w/ medicinal & healing properties) – rosemary, oregano, sage, mint, garlic, turmeric, mugwort

• Snack on nuts – almonds, pistachios, Brazil nuts, cashews, walnuts

• Whole grains – sourdough, 100% whole wheat, rye, barley
NOTE: sourdough is naturally lower in gluten, has gut-supportive bacteria, & high in fiber.

• Their diet is naturally low in sugar. (No more than 7 tsp/day).

• Drink mostly water & green tea. They also drink some coffee (antioxidants) & red wine (polyphenols) in moderation.

Other factors:

o   Fast occasionally

o   They move naturally every 20 minutes or so.

o   Regular connections

o   Little time on electronics

o   Sense of purpose
