eat breakfast! even if you don’t get very hungry eating in the morning helps your brain and body function it’s best. try having some fruit or a smoothie if you really struggle to eat in the mornings.

could i get your take on what the companions (or just my favorite boy X6's) top 10 fave candies/foods would be in a modern AU?
anon you are in luck, because I am constantly thinking about the diets and eating habits of my blorbos
The numbered list isn't in any particular order, it's just so I don't have to manually count each point
so
What the companions would eat if not in a post apocalypse
Cait; Wouldn't have a taste for fancier cuisine. Eats more...hick-ish. I can say that because I was a hick with this kind of diet, growing up. Has a taste for filling, cheap, low-effort food...think lots of fast food, but "healthier" fast food. Like Chipotle, Panera, etc. Can cook, doesn't often, but will if she has a craving. Savory or tart tastes. She tends to eat lighter than you'd expect.
Blueberry brownie anything, favors dark chocolate in general
Submarine sandwiches, anything with pickles
Key lime pie
Salt and vinegar chips and thinks critics of such chips are cowards
Peach Redbull, any energy drinks though
Storebought hummus and Doritos, has been seen eating hummus with just a spoon though
Blueberry bread pudding. Simple to make, fun to eat, very comforting. Buys her bread already stale from a local bakery, has a guy to hook her up with the old shit
Seafood chowder
Sausages in any capacity. Jerky sticks, breakfast sausage, etc. Loves chorizo.
Honey buns from the gas station
Curie; Health nut, she eats like every influencer claims they eat like. Only, Curie actually eats like that. Lots of fresh foods and whole grains, little red meat. However, Curie makes a point to have foods that other health nuts would condemn, thinks its really important to not label any food as "bad." So, she balances between health nut and normal person. Her taste leans toward bright and/or sweet. Dislikes red meat.
Salmon breakfast wraps
Tropical fruit smoothies, eats so much pineapple
Iced tea, favors raspberry. Never seen without an iced tea of some kind
Halibut tacos, likes red cabbage and a fuck ton of lemon on it. Soft shells all the way
Bananas foster
Whipped brie dip, eats it with anything but loves it on apples, basically dessert
Lemon pepper grilled chicken and rice
So many salads, loves that you can just throw shit in a bowl and call it a recipe. Likes strawberries and almonds
Lemon poppyseed muffins
Shrimp and bitter melon stir fry
Danse; mixed bag. One on hand, small town diner tastes. Simple, cheap, good ol' American food. On the other, he's doomed to be a soldier in every universe he's in, so...maybe he picks up some tastes and dishes from places he's toured. Gets a weird pallate that shoots in all directions and makes you wonder what it's like in that thick skull. One day he's a good American boy with pancakes and steak, the next he's eating cake mix dry and drinking tahini from a flask.
Anything BBQ, but a pulled pork devotee
Hot coffee so heavily creamed and sugars it looks like milk. He likes the twix combo of chocolate, shortbread, and caramel flavors
Prepackaged baked goods a la Hostess, fucks up little Debbie oatmeal cookies
Apple and pecan pie
Menemen—Turkish dish, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, bell peppers, spices to taste, and (controversially) onions. Adds sausage and cheese, eats it with a fork or spoon (its meant to be eaten with bread)
Khachapuri—Georgian cheesy bread with egg. Eats with a knife and fork. (its meant to be eaten with the bread crust)
Smores pop tarts
Beef and potato stew
Rice bowl with fried egg and avocado, bonus points if it has bacon
Straight cookie dough/brownie/cake batter, usually when he's black out drunk and cannot shame himself out of eating raw egg products.
Deacon; Very childhood comfort food. Y'know, things you had as a kid, but probably grew out of a bit? Eats out of gas stations/takeout frequently. Very open flavor pallete, has tried everything he's had the chance to. Likes one-handed food, stuff you can have the other hand free for. Doesn’t really have a 'theme', has broad horizons for his diet. Likes lighter, mild flavors, though. He eats lightly and on the go a lot.
Hot/corn dogs, taste in hot dog toppings varies
Egg salad sandwiches
French fries and vanilla ice cream, classic combo
Mango sticky rice
Cornbread with any accompaniments. Likes honey or chili, thinks if you have a drink with cornbread, you ain't a real cornhead
Penne alla vodka
Cucumber salad. This could mean a salad with cucumbers, that trending Asian recipe where you cut the cumber so its springy, or eating a cucumber like a hotdog.
Fried mushrooms
Usually just drinks water but will have gator/powerade when he's working. Likes purple flavor
Captain crunch cereal, loves all cereal though. Prefers the kibble stuff to the berries. Starts philosophical debates about the morality of Trix commercials vs Lucky Charms commercials
Gage; His favorite foods reflect his upbringing. Coastal swamp cuisine, cheap and made in bulk. Take Danse's pallate and hyperlocalize it, and then lower the budget by a good amount. Things he grew up eating. Would gradually replace his favorites with pricier, 'less embarrassing' dishes, distances himself from his origins. However, takes care to not looked too loaded. Smokey and savory flavors are his thing, likes more spice than people expect.
Doberge cake, which is layered with pudding, often half-chocolate and half-lemon
Red beans and rice, with stewed pork if they could afford it
Blackened fish of any kind, liked it with cilantro-lime rice
Steak with potatoes and/or eggs
Chronic iced tea drinker like Curie, though he prefers the bitter kinds
Scallops
Brussels sprouts defender and will fight for their honor
Peaches
Was introduced to curry during a business meeting/outing. Could drink that shit from a glass, has it with potatoes and porkchops.
Lobster anything. This is one of those 'less embarresing' things, but he genuinely enjoys a good lobster roll. Even if he prefers a freshly-caught lobster bisque. Again, something he had growing up, something he pushes away.
Hancock; Similar to Deacon, but favors fatty, greasy food. No, it's not the drugs, that's just his metabolism. He's a skinny twink, always starving, can never put on weight. Eats as much as Danse, who is a big guy and needs more calories than most. He's really into street food and foreign dishes, won't eat at a restaurant if they speak fluent English or have good customer service. IYKYK. Very comfort food heavy, lots of "this would slap with Netflix at 2 am"
A classic oxtail, mac and cheese, and collard green take out combo
Any and all American-chinese take out, usually gets eggplant tofu with chow mein and cream cheese rangoons
"Walking tacos", those things where you open a small bag of chips and dump White People taco makings in. Probably just tips the whole thing into his mouth
Yakitori, Japanese chicken skewers, popular bar food
Bloody Mary cocktails
Pizza, will fight for the honor of pineapple. Would really be into how Brazil does pizza
Frozen yogurt and ice cream, piles with toppings
Breakfast sandwiches or wraps. Egg, meat, cheese, doesn't matter the time nor specifics.
Jam donuts, loves cherry fillings
Puppy chow/muddy buddies, chex cereal covered in chocolate and powdered sugar. Eats his weight in them if not careful
MacCready; forces himself to learn how to cook for Duncan's sake, but for himself...good God. It's horrible. Eats like garbage. Would never drink water if not to set an example. Take out, frozen food, so much candy and soda. After Duncan, broadens his horizons. Finds he really likes soups. Just throw shit in a pot and it works. Eats on a budget, so that's a life-saver. Doesn't have a preferred flavor pallete, aside from his love of candy.
Meat lover's pizza. Thinks pineapple has no place on pizza
Used to drink Mountain Dew and diet coke, replaced it with iced teas and more organic fruit juices for the sake of his teeth
Chicken soup, either from a can, or homemade. Either way, slaps. If homemade, blends veggies for a hidden veggie stock. For him, Duncan is a lot better at eating veggies, MacCready needs to trick himself.
Sour rainbow ropes
Cookie crisp cereal, thinks whoever came up with it deserved the sloppiest head. Incredible design, no notes
Cheese and sour cream chips
Famous Amos cookies
Eggo waffles
Gnocchi is God to him. Its superior to all noodles and makes your Shit In The Fridge soup 1000 times better.
Rice pudding is cheap, easy, and a surprisingly efficient sweet-tooth satisfier. Makes it with pumpkin spice mix or chocolate.
Nick; Home-cooked meals all the way. Could kill himself with cheese and die happy. Lots of easy meals and snacking so he can keep working, but will treat himself to a nice, hard-earned dinner when he has the time and energy. Likes himself the smokey, the fresh, or the sour. Probably knows all the best sub shops in the city, probably in a turf war with regulars of rival shops. Jewish delicatessens are like church to him.
Lasanga. Most of his freezer space is lasagna. Eats so much of it. He's lactose intolerant. It hurts but it hurts so good
Latkes. Fried potato things, kind of like hashbrowns, except the potato is mashed/ground instead of grated. And yes. Also pastrami. But those little potato bitches...mmmph.
Red velvet muffins with cream cheese frosting.
Fried cheese in any capacity
A prosciutto, arugula, brie, and fig sandwich
Pickled pearl onions
Cobb salad
Black coffee. Temp doesn't matter, because he's going to forget it until its room temp.
Has been known to enter fugue states and consume an absurd amount of Chicago style hot dogs
Scones or just plain bread with butter and jams
Piper; Broke college student trying to make it as a reporter. Her tastebuds are fucked, they salivate not for flavor, or texture, but for those good, good low prices. Piper's diet is almost entirely snackfood or takeout. If she ever cooks, it's for Nat. But when taking care of just herself, Piper eats from a box or bag. When she does cook, it's very simple meals. Loves her carbs and her fruit flavors
Chicken Ramen with canned chicken and frozen broccoli chucked in. Also makes this for Nat
Hot cheetos, eats with chopsticks
Spaghetti and meatballs
Fruit smoothies/smoothie bowls, blends in veggies as well for the nutrition
Coka cola and anything from Fanta, loves fruit sodas
Anything carbs and I mean that. Eats a lot of bread, pasta, cakes, potatoes...they're the sweetheart of anyone on a budget.
Buffalo cauliflower, likes it more than Buffalo chicken
Chewing gum. Fruit flavors only, hates mint gum. Likes mint elsewhere, just not in gum.
Nickle-nips and other "jelly/juice in a wax package" candies. Likes the charm of it, also, free chewing wax
Suckers/lollipops, big on hard candy in general but the stick satisfies her smoking habit.
Preston; A mix of easy depression/bulk meals and dishes from his childhood. Lots of spices, cooks with a lot of straight peppers. Tends to eat his food 'raw', not made into a dish. Again, easy and quick to eat. Also tends to buy pre-prepared stuff for the same reason, buys more fruits and veggies and just eats them straight. Doesn't care about eating healthy, he just lacks energy to cook most days.
I have no choice to explain this as it has no name. Casserole dish, layer of mashed potatoes, layer of shredded or chunked chicken, layer of white breakfast gravy or brown poultry gravy, top with drop biscuits. It's buttery, its savory, it is white as snow. Easy, cheap, one ladlefull is dinner. You'll get a few meals out of it, and it's so filling you have like, five minutes before you're stuffed. I call it gut-glue.
Dirty rice
Eggs scrambled with spinach
Jollof/jambalaya
Veggies and hummus or ranch
Various fruits and berries such as grapes, cherries, blackberries, and oranges
Shakshouka, eggs poached in spicy tomato sauce and eaten with bread
Chicken biscuits, crackers dusted with, like, chicken bouillon? They taste like a chicken Ramen packet sneezed on a ritz
Slurpees/Icees/those syruped gas station ice drinks
Straight peppers, eats bell peppers like apples. Eats pickled jalapeĂąos and scotch bonnets to feel something. Drinks the liquid in pickle jars instead of alcohol, or mixes it with gelatin and makes pickle jello.
X6-88; Pretensious rich asshole who eats like it. He rarely cooks for himself, probably has a personal chef or something. Maybe his work has their own restaurants, like Google. Eats mostly vegetables, but his favorite foods skew from "Dubai Influencer" to "12 year old who earned too much lawn mowing money and was let loose in a convenience store." So much sugar. Willy Wonka's factory is his idea of heaven and until it exists, he's an atheist.
Raw meats. Steak and tuna tartar, sashimi, and sushi
Braised duck with cherries
Nduja, a spicy pork sausage spread, has it with flatbreads
Oysters. Eats them all fancy in public, eats them from a tin with doritos at home
Anything from Hostess, Little Debbie, those brands. Fucking anything. However, would kill a man for any kind of Swiss roll
Chocolate milk
Gummies, very picky with brands, hates the harder kinds like Haribo. Wants his gummies soft as a marshmellow
Cadbury eggs
Milano dark chocolate cookies
Gushers

I HAVENT EVEN STARTED DAY 29 OF FEBUWHUMP AND ITS MARCH
Alr it’s march now which means…………
NATIONAL PENUT BUTTER LOVER’S DAY.
So here is what I think the chain’s favorite penut butter combos will be:
Time: smoothie with peanut butter, banana, and Lon Lon milk. Go to breakfast when with Malon. He will always want to savor it because he loves it so much but then like 2 hours later it is room temperature pretty much melted (?) and he only got halfway done. At that point Wind would probably steal the glass and chug it just to annoy him
Twilight: peanut butter on almost burnt toast, he toasted it too high one time and now absolutely loves it. Everyone judges him for eating burnt toast and is not convinced he actually likes it but generally does. Bonus points if it’s smooth peanut butter.
Sky: allergic to peanuts will eat it if someone makes it for him because he can’t say no but typically doesn’t eat it for obvious reasons. Surprised he’s still alive
Warriors: will take a slice of plain bread, not toasted, coat it with three times the amount of peanut butter and stuff it down in 0.2 seconds flat as he is used to not having enough time to sit down for a meal ( :( )
Legend: Makes the sandwiches but never eats them. He will only ever eat chunky peanut butter if it is smooth he will hate you. It is also 80% jelly and only 20% peanut butter because it’s “spicy”.
Hyrule: peanut butter and dirt mud pies. No other comment.
Wild: will spend 12 consecutive hours in the kitchen making a perfect peanut butter and jelly sandwich with homemade pb and same with jelly. Will get bread from Malon, toast it just right, butter it, and assemble it in the perfect format… only to accidentally drop it on the ground (we all know he’ll still eat it anyway)
Four: He needs structure, the peanut butter and jelly sandwich has to be perfect, a nice layer of smooth peanut butter, with a thin layer of the crunchy stuff on top. He also adds some almond’s for ✨aesthetic✨ he also uses the strawberry jelly that comes in those little packet things.
Wind: If he is not chugging Time’s old have drunken smoothie, he will legitimately reach into the peanut butter jar and scoop HANDFULS out. No spoon. Everyone hates him for it because he literally contaminates the jar for everybody but he does it anyway. Oh if he is “buying” his own peanut butter it’s probably stolen.
Ok I completely approve of Legends peanut butter to jelly ratio😌😌 especially if it's home made jam MMM. Delish
Any time I make a smoothie like Time I also usually only end up drinking half🥲 I wish I had a Wind around to steal the remains 😂
What's your favorite way to eat peanut butter Blare?? I usually eat a spoon of it alone🤗 no bread or sugar for me😭 (I'm on a diet LOL)

hi i was scrolling the tags on that carbs post & i saw u ask for advice for eating enough when u dont have good physical introspection -- so here i am!
i not only have terrible physical introspection, i also have not felt hunger in over a decade for Reasons. Here's my suggestions:
- find foods that are fast and easy for u to prepare & make sure u always stock those. that way when u do realize u need to eat Right Now, you can do so quickly and easily. vary the type of food if possible, i tend to keep an easy carb and an easy veggie on hand.
- on that note, bonus points for good snacks u can keep where u work -- having some nuts or whatever on hand right next to u makes it way easier to actually eat them when u should.
- don't be afraid to buy the foods that are easier for u to eat! whether thats microwavable meals or Good Bread, buying food u will actually eat is always better than buying food that u won't. meet urself where ur at! also if u buy food u are excited for then ur more likely to want to eat it for non-hunger fulfilling purposes, which makes it easier to eat when ur not Feeling Hungry.
- related, buy things that make it easier for u to make food u will eat. u can often find things like blenders or toaster ovens online second hand for cheap, if money is an issue.
- some people don't do well with 3 meals a day, if this is u then try more smaller meals! i do well with 3 medium-small meals with a big snack in between, my husband does best with 5 meals a day, everyone is different.
- alarms!!!! set alarms for ur meals & snack times. set several if u gotta. the time those alarms should happen is largely a personal thing & it'll likely take some trial and error, but when u get it down it makes it way easier bc u dont have to rely on ur non-existent internal clock for hunger signals.
- if u have a blender, smoothies are great as snacks between bigger meals and also are a good way to easily incorporate fruit into ur diet! i buy fresh fruit in bulk and freeze it but u can also buy bags of frozen fruit if that suits u better.
- u dont have to eat certain types of foods at certain times. eat pizza or mac and cheese or whatever for breakfast if u want. make pancakes or eggs or whatever for lunch if u want. none of it matters, food is food.
anyways, hopefully this is at least a bit helpful!!
I legitimately teared up reading through this, because it once again reinforced for me the idea that humanity's inherent compassion prevails. Thank you so much for this incredibly helpful, succinct advice that will be genuinely useful! These are all issues I've been dealing with and logical solutions!
I've seen a few of these floating around and tried them, but others are brand new and I really appreciate the time you took to share! You've done something very kind for a stranger.
If you'd like to come off anon in my inbox, I'd love to make you a tiny crocheted cryptid of your choice in genuine thanks for the help. I look forward to seeing how these solutions can be applied!

As a recovering 90s kid I feel the need to share the thinking that has started to help me chip away at the diet culture bullshit that ruled my life until very recently.
Let's say I eat a big ol' slice of chocolate cake for breakfast.
Old me would have been like "omg oh no calories and fat and sugar, I better have a side salad for lunch to make up for it"
Current me is like "wow okay that was delicious, but it's not necessarily gonna give me the energy I need to get through my work day, so I'm going to have a salad with lots of protein and crunchy veg and a really good dressing to keep me satisfied and awake until I get home. Ooh, a smoothie for dessert sounds great, let's get a mango one. And that comes with a bonus of tons of vitamin C which is great since it's cold and flu season!" but there's not like a moral component here, it's just what is gonna get me through my day, taste great, and not feel like a punishment.
Fed is best. Literally no matter what you're eating, it's better than starving. If it fills your belly, if it brings you some joy, if it offers comfort, if it gives you fuel, mission accomplished.
Cake shouldn't come with a sentence. Salad shouldn't be penance.
Food serves a purpose beyond just "it make body go vroom" and don't you dare let anyone tell you otherwise. Food serves goals beyond just "maximum human performance" and don't you dare let anyone tell you otherwise.
Food is home, culture, kindness, romance, safety, gentleness, indulgence, joy, community - it's so many things beyond macros.
YOU get to define how you use food in your life and what you eat and why. YOU get to choose your priorities with food and why. YOU get to dictate your preferences and I don't care if you're an adult, you're allowed to be picky. As far as I know, we have one life on this earth, and if you only want to eat the things you enjoy, that sure feels like none of my business.
Eat your cake, babe. Eat your salad, buddy. Eat.
Eat.

100% agree with the whole "must use up all the zucchini" part of the first reply (my dad is a gardener and we literally get so much zucchini when it's harvest time)
It's practically tasteless on its own so you can hide it perfectly in delicious recipies (dessert breads, muffins, cakes, quiches, savory pies, even smoothies if you know what you're doing) and get all sorts of fiber and other vegetably nutrients as a bonus!
One of my friends is a seriously picky eater (I doubt she'd eat zucchini on its own) but she really loves my mom's recipe for chocolate zucchini muffins and it's nice that she's able to have a tasty treat and also get some vegetables and variety in her diet. Same for me tbh because I don't always eat vegetables as much as I should lol

How to Incorporate Blue Tea into Your Daily Routine
In the bustling lives of modern Indians, maintaining a balance between health, work, and relaxation is crucial. Blue tea, made from butterfly pea flowers, is gaining immense popularity due to its enchanting color, unique taste, and incredible health benefits. This article dives into practical ways to incorporate blue tea into your daily routine, while also touching upon how it aligns with current trends, such as mindfulness and wellness, as well as its appeal to entrepreneurs, students, and health-conscious individuals.
Why Blue Tea?
Blue tea isn’t just visually appealing; it’s a powerhouse of antioxidants. Rich in anthocyanins, it helps boost immunity, improve brain function, and reduce stress. Whether you’re a bride-to-be looking to glow on your wedding day, a business owner juggling meetings, or a student pulling an all-nighter, blue tea can enhance your daily life. According to experts, incorporating blue tea into your diet is a simple yet effective way to prioritize health without compromising on taste.
Dr. Meena Roy, a nutritionist based in Mumbai, says, “Blue tea is not just a beverage; it’s a lifestyle choice. It promotes holistic health and adds a touch of mindfulness to your daily routine.”
Morning Ritual: Start Fresh with Blue Tea
Kickstart your day with a cup of warm blue tea. Replace your morning coffee or chai with this caffeine-free alternative to boost hydration and detoxify your body. Its subtle earthy flavor pairs well with a dash of honey or lemon, enhancing its taste and benefits.
Steps to Prepare:
Boil a cup of water.
Add 4-5 dried butterfly pea flowers.
Let it steep for 5-7 minutes.
Strain and enjoy!
Pro Tip: Add a few drops of lemon juice to turn the blue tea purple, thanks to its pH sensitivity, making it a fun science experiment for kids or a conversation starter in business meetings.
Mid-Morning Pick-Me-Up: A Cool Blue Iced Tea
Replace sugary sodas and energy drinks with a refreshing glass of iced blue tea. Perfect for a quick recharge during a busy workday, it’s an excellent way to stay hydrated and focused.
How to Make Iced Blue Tea:
Brew a pot of blue tea and let it cool.
Add ice cubes, mint leaves, and a slice of lemon.
Sweeten with honey or stevia if desired.
Entrepreneurs can offer this as a wellness drink in cafes, tapping into the growing trend of health-focused dining—a great business idea under ₹1 lakh.
Pre-Lunch Digestive Aid
Drinking a small cup of blue tea before lunch aids digestion and helps control portion sizes. Its calming properties prepare your stomach for a hearty Indian meal.
Why It Works: Blue tea stimulates the production of digestive enzymes and reduces bloating, making it ideal for anyone managing a hectic lifestyle.
Afternoon Productivity Booster
Students and developers often experience an afternoon slump. Swap out your usual caffeine fix with a cup of blue tea to stay alert and focused without the jitters.
Pairing blue tea with a handful of nuts or a light snack can further enhance its benefits, keeping you energized throughout the day.
Evening Relaxation Companion
After a long day, unwind with a soothing cup of hot blue tea. Brides-to-be can use this as a self-care ritual to de-stress, while business owners might find it a perfect companion for planning the next day’s agenda.
Bonus: Pair your tea with a yoga or meditation session for enhanced relaxation.
Incorporating Blue Tea in Your Diet
Smoothies: Add brewed blue tea to your morning smoothies for a vibrant, nutrient-rich twist.
Desserts: Use blue tea to color and flavor sweets like kheer, cakes, or mithai, aligning with current wedding trends in India.
Cocktails/Mocktails: Impress your guests by incorporating blue tea into party drinks, adding a dash of flair and wellness to celebrations.
Rice and Pasta: Use blue tea as a natural food coloring for dishes like pulao or pasta, turning everyday meals into culinary masterpieces.
Health Benefits Backed by Research
Improves Skin Health: Brides-to-be can benefit from its anti-aging properties, which enhance skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles.
Boosts Brain Function: Entrepreneurs and students will appreciate its cognitive-enhancing effects, perfect for tackling tasks or exams.
Supports Weight Management: A great choice for anyone looking to maintain a healthy weight without drastic diets.
A study published in the Journal of Herbal Medicine highlights that regular consumption of butterfly pea flower tea significantly improves metabolic rates and reduces oxidative stress.
Blue Tea and Wellness Trends in India
As India embraces the global wellness movement, blue tea is becoming a staple in health-conscious households. Wellness influencers are showcasing blue tea in recipes, morning routines, and skincare hacks, making it a trending topic on platforms like Instagram and YouTube.
According to a survey by the Indian Wellness Association, 65% of urban households in India have incorporated herbal teas into their daily routines, with blue tea being a top choice.
Best Businesses Under ₹1 Lakh: Blue Tea Cafes
For aspiring entrepreneurs, starting a blue tea cafe is a lucrative idea. With minimal investment, you can set up a cozy space offering various blue tea blends, snacks, and desserts. The unique visual appeal and health benefits of blue tea make it a crowd-puller, especially among millennials and Gen Z.
Offers and Discounts
To encourage more people to try blue tea, several brands in India offer attractive discounts. For instance, brands like Teafit and Butterfly Wellness regularly provide up to 20% off on bulk purchases. Look for offers during festive seasons to stock up.
FAQs
Q1: Is blue tea safe for daily consumption? Yes, blue tea is caffeine-free and rich in antioxidants, making it suitable for daily use.
Q2: Can pregnant women drink blue tea? It’s best to consult a doctor before incorporating blue tea during pregnancy.

My 7-Day Journey to Healthier Eating: A Real-World Weight Loss Plan
 Let's be honest - weight loss isn't about magic pills or impossible diets. It's about making sustainable choices that actually fit into your real life. After years of trying every trendy diet under the sun, I've finally found an approach that feels doable and delivers results.
Tumblr media
Why This 7-Day Plan is Different
This isn't another restrictive, miserable diet that'll have you dreaming about pizza by day two. Instead, it's a balanced, realistic approach that:
Focuses on nutrient-dense foods
Provides enough variety to keep you interested
Doesn't make you feel like you're punishing yourself
Day 1-2: Kickstart and Reset
The first two days are all about cleaning up your eating habits and setting a positive tone. Here's what your plate should look like:
Breakfast:Protein-packed smoothie with spinach, berries, and plant-based protein
Lunch:Large salad with grilled chicken, mixed greens, and light vinaigrette
Dinner:Baked salmon with roasted vegetables
Snacks: Greek yogurt, handful of almonds, apple slices
Pro tip: Drink water like it's your job. Aim for at least 8 glasses daily.
Day 3-4: Metabolism Boosters
Now we're turning up the nutrition and metabolism-boosting game:
Breakfast:Overnight oats with chia seeds and fresh berries
Lunch: Quinoa bowl with grilled tofu and mixed vegetables
Dinner: Lean turkey with cauliflower rice
Snacks: Cucumber with hummus, hard-boiled eggs
Day 5-6: Protein Power
Protein is your best friend for feeling full and maintaining muscle:

Lunch: Grilled chicken salad with mixed greens
Dinner: Baked cod with roasted Brussels sprouts
Snacks: Protein shake, celery with almond butter
Day 7: Sustainable Finale
The last day is about showing yourself that healthy eating can be enjoyable:

Lunch: Lentil soup with mixed vegetables
Dinner: Stir-fried shrimp with brown rice
Snacks: Fresh berries, handful of unsalted nuts
Real Talk: What to Expect
You might lose 2-5 pounds (everyone's different!)
Energy levels will likely increase
Bloating should reduce
You'll feel more in control of your eating habits
Important Reminders
Stay Hydrated: Water is crucial
Move Your Body: Even 30 minutes of walking helps
Be Kind to Yourself: One imperfect meal doesn't ruin everything
Bonus Tips
Meal prep is your secret weapon
Don't completely eliminate foods you love
Listen to your body
Consider consulting a nutritionist for personalized advice
Final Thoughts
This 7-day diet plan isn't about perfection. It's about progress. It's about making choices that love you back. Remember, sustainable weight loss is a journey, not a sprint.
Disclaimer: Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new diet plan, especially if you have underlying health conditions.

Unlock the Power of Plant-Based Nutrition: High Fiber Plant-Based Protein and Organic Greens
Introduction
In recent years, the plant-based diet has grown tremendously in popularity, driven by health-conscious individuals seeking alternatives to traditional animal-based foods. As more people make the switch to plant-based diets, many are looking for ways to boost their protein intake and ensure they’re getting all the nutrients their body needs to thrive. If you’re on this journey, one of the most effective ways to meet your nutritional goals is through high fiber plant-based protein and organic green supplement powders. Let’s dive into how these two powerhouse ingredients can elevate your health.
What is High Fiber Plant-Based Protein?
High fiber plant based protein is a nutritional powerhouse that provides both protein and fiber in one package. This combination not only supports muscle repair and growth but also promotes digestive health and overall well-being. Unlike animal-based protein, plant-based protein sources such as peas, hemp, quinoa, and brown rice provide a rich supply of essential amino acids while being naturally high in fiber.
Fiber is vital for digestive health as it helps maintain a healthy gut, regulates blood sugar levels, and keeps you feeling fuller for longer. This means that incorporating high fiber plant-based protein into your diet can not only support muscle development but also help manage weight and promote a feeling of satiety.
For those who want a clean, wholesome protein source, plant-based proteins come with the added bonus of being free from cholesterol and lower in saturated fats than their animal counterparts. Additionally, plant-based proteins are often rich in other micronutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Tumblr media
The Benefits of Green Supplement Powder Organic
Adding green supplement powder organic to your daily routine can be an easy and effective way to boost your nutrient intake. These powders are packed with a variety of nutrient-dense superfoods like spirulina, chlorella, wheatgrass, and barley grass. These greens are rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and chlorophyll, offering a wide range of health benefits.
One of the key benefits of organic green supplement powders is their ability to detoxify the body. The chlorophyll found in these greens helps cleanse the liver, flush out toxins, and support the immune system. In addition, greens are known for their alkalizing properties, helping to balance your body's pH levels and reduce inflammation.
The antioxidants in green powders also play a critical role in fighting oxidative stress and protecting the body from free radicals. Free radicals can damage cells and lead to chronic diseases, including heart disease and cancer. By incorporating green supplement powders into your diet, you can boost your body’s natural defenses and promote long-term health.
Why Choose Protein Powder with Greens Organic?
A protein powder with greens organic combines the best of both worlds. By blending plant-based protein with organic greens, you get the benefits of both macronutrients (protein) and micronutrients (greens) in one easy-to-consume powder. This makes it a perfect option for those looking to enhance their diet with minimal effort.
Not only will you get the muscle-building benefits of plant-based protein, but you'll also support your overall health with the array of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants from the greens. Whether you’re a busy professional, athlete, or simply someone looking to improve their overall well-being, a protein powder with greens organic provides a convenient way to boost your nutritional intake.
The Versatility of Protein Powder with Greens Organic
Another great thing about protein powder with greens organic is its versatility. You can mix it into smoothies, shakes, or even use it in baked goods like protein bars or muffins. This makes it incredibly easy to integrate into your daily routine. If you're someone who is constantly on the go, adding a scoop of this powder to your water or plant-based milk can provide a quick, nutrient-packed snack.
For those looking to balance their blood sugar levels, a protein powder with greens organic is an excellent choice. Protein helps slow the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, which can prevent energy crashes and promote stable energy throughout the day. With the added greens, you'll also be supporting your digestive system, helping to prevent bloating and promote a healthy gut microbiome.
Conclusion
Incorporating high fiber plant-based protein and organic green supplement powders into your daily routine is one of the best ways to support your health and wellness goals. Whether you’re an athlete looking for a clean, sustainable protein source or someone looking to increase your vegetable intake, protein powder with greens organic offers a convenient and nutritious solution.
Not only will it provide the essential protein your body needs to repair and grow muscle, but it will also nourish your body with a wealth of micronutrients, fiber, and antioxidants. As more people discover the incredible benefits of plant-based nutrition, high fiber plant-based protein and organic greens are sure to remain essential components of a balanced, health-focused lifestyle.
Start making smarter, plant-based choices today and give your body the nutrition it deserves with high fiber plant-based protein and green supplement powders.

In a revolutionary move that's bound to leave treadmills gathering dust and personal trainers weeping into their quinoa salads, Beyoncé's Renaissance Tour has emerged as the fitness phenomenon everyone's been waiting for. Who needs overpriced gym memberships and the awkward grunting of fellow gym-goers when you can experience the exhilarating burn of a true workout disguised as a concert? Forget the days of sluggish cardio and repetitive weightlifting. The Renaissance Tour is a full-body, high-intensity experience that will have you sculpting your dream physique while simultaneously screaming along to anthems of female empowerment. Dr. Chad Thundercock, a leading cardiologist (and self-proclaimed "Beyoncélogist"), enthusiastically explains, "The sheer energy Beyoncé exudes on stage translates directly to the audience. It's like witnessing a human power plant perform a cardio ballet – your heart rate soars, legs burn, and you leave feeling like you could single-handedly run a marathon...in stilettos." The Science Behind the Sweat Science, honey, hasn't even begun to scratch the surface of Beyoncé's fitness magic. A recent study published in the esteemed journal "Vogue Fitness" (peer-reviewed by a panel of celebrity stylists) revealed that dancing to Beyoncé's music burns an average of 1,000 calories per concert. That's more than a SoulCycle session and a kale smoothie combined! Dr. Thundercock further elaborates, "Think of it this way: Beyonce's choreography is essentially a series of lunges, squats, and core work disguised as a pop spectacle. By the time "Break My Soul" hits, you'll be begging for mercy, but your glutes will be thanking you." The Renaissance Workout Plan: Gettin' Groovy with Queen Bey For those seeking a structured approach, fear not! We've compiled the ultimate Renaissance Tour Workout Plan, designed to maximize calorie burn and leave you feeling fierce. Warm-Up: "Formation Cardio" (5 minutes) Begin by power-walking (or Beyoncé-walking, which involves a fierce hip sway) in place for 5 minutes while belting out "Formation." Bonus points for incorporating air punches and sassy hair flips. Main Set 1: "Break My Soul Burpees" (3 sets of 10 reps) Get low, honey! Drop into a deep squat, then explode into a high jump while singing "Break My Soul." This exercise targets all major muscle groups and your inner diva. Main Set 2: "Cuff It Cardio" (4 minutes) Channel your inner dance instructor and shimmy, shake, and twirl for 4 minutes straight to "Cuff It." Don't be afraid to get creative – think robot arms, leg kicks, and booty pops. Cool-Down: "Cozy with You Core Work" (3 minutes) Lie on your back and raise your legs while singing "Cozy with You." Hold for as long as you can, or until you start giggling at the absurdity of it all. The Renaissance Diet: Fueling Your Fierceness Achieving a "Beyoncé Body" isn't just about pumping iron (or in this case, mimicking Beyoncé's fierce dance moves). It's about a holistic approach to wellness. Enter the Renaissance Diet, a revolutionary (and potentially unsustainable) plan based on pure speculation and Beyoncé's occasional Instagram posts. Think organic kale chips, artisanal kombucha, and enough lemonade to fill a swimming pool. Registered dietician Penelope Periwinkle (who moonlights as a Beyhive superfan) advises, "Remember, it's not about deprivation; it's about mindful indulgence. Beyoncé wouldn't approve of starving yourself, but she definitely wouldn't approve of a greasy cheeseburger either." The Renaissance Revolution: Fan Testimonials The transformative power of the Renaissance Tour is undeniable. Just ask Brenda "Bootylicious" Johnson, a former couch potato who has attended 12 consecutive shows. "Before Beyoncé, my idea of cardio was napping in the sun. Now, I can practically run a marathon in six-inch heels! I even managed to snag a backstage photo with Queen Bey herself, and let me tell you, her glow is contagious." The Call to Slay: Get Your Tickets Now!
So, ditch the treadmills and cancel your gym membership. The only workout you'll ever need is an overpriced ticket to the Renaissance Tour. Remember, ladies (and gents who appreciate a good workout): seats are filling up faster than you can say "

🌿 Common Nutrition Mistakes That Holding You Back (And How to Fix Them) 📝
📌 Are you eating “healthy” but not seeing the results you want? You might be making some common nutrition mistakes. Let’s get to the point and get you back on track!
1️⃣ You’re Eating “Healthy” But Not Seeing Results
➡️ You’ve cut out junk food, eat your veggies and even tried some diets but the results just aren’t there. You’re thinking, “What’s going on?” The truth is you might be falling into some common nutrition mistakes that hold many people back.
2️⃣ The Hidden Mistakes That Sabotage Your Progress
➡️ Here’s the deal—just because you’re eating “healthy” doesn’t mean you’re eating right for your goals. Let’s get into some sneaky mistakes that might be holding you back.
1️⃣ Mistake #1: Overeating “Healthy” Foods
➡️ Yes, avocados, nuts, and whole grains are healthy, but they’re also calorie-dense. I’ve been there—thinking I could eat unlimited nuts because they’re healthy. Spoiler: Calories still count even from “good” foods! It’s all about portion control.
2️⃣ Mistake #2: Ignoring Protein Intake
➡️ If you’re not eating enough protein, you’re missing out on the building blocks your body needs to repair and grow. I used to think salads were enough until I realized my meals were lacking protein. Protein keeps you full, helps build muscle, and boosts metabolism.
3️⃣ Mistake #3: Underestimating Liquid Calories
➡️ Those fancy coffees, juices and smoothies? They can add up fast. I used to drink a “healthy” smoothie every morning only to find it had hidden sugars and 400+ calories. Be mindful of what you sip!
4️⃣ Mistake #4: Not Planning Your Meals
➡️ When you don’t have a plan it’s easy to grab whatever is convenient. I used to wing it thinking I could make good choices on the fly. But when you’re hungry and busy convenience usually wins. Planning ahead saves you from those last minute junk food runs.
5️⃣ Mistake #5: Not Drinking Enough Water
➡️ Thirst is often mistaken for hunger. I’ve seen this happen over and over—people think they’re hungry, but they’re really just dehydrated. Water plays a huge role in digestion, metabolism, and overall energy. If you’re not drinking enough, you’re missing out on easy wins.
3️⃣ How to Fix These Mistakes and Fuel Your Body Right
➡️ It’s time to get these mistakes fixed and get back on track. Here’s what has worked for me:
1️⃣ Practice Portion Control, Even with “Healthy” Foods
➡️ Measure out servings, especially with calorie-dense foods like nuts, oils, and avocados. Enjoy them but in moderation. You don’t have to restrict yourself; just be aware of how much you’re eating.
2️⃣ Prioritize Protein in Every Meal
➡️ Aim for 20-30 grams of protein per meal. Think lean meats, fish, eggs, tofu and legumes. Not only will this help with muscle maintenance, but it’ll also keep you fuller for longer. Protein is your secret weapon.
3️⃣ Be Mindful of Liquid Calories
➡️ Swap out calorie-loaded drinks for water, black coffee, or herbal tea. If you love smoothies make them at home where you control the ingredients. A little awareness goes a long way!
4️⃣ Plan Your Meals Ahead Of Time
➡️ Whether it’s prepping meals on Sundays or planning your dinners for the week, having a game plan keeps you on track. I’ve found that 30 minutes of planning saves hours of frustration (and bad choices) during the week.
5️⃣ Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
➡️ Start your day with a big glass of water and aim for at least 8 cups a day. This simple habit has helped me cut down on unnecessary snacking and keep my energy levels steady throughout the day.
4️⃣ Bonus Tip: Focus on Consistency, Not Perfection
➡️ Don’t stress about being perfect. It’s the small, consistent changes that add up over time. If you slip up that’s okay—just get back on track at your next meal. Progress is better than perfection.

How to Start the 21-Day Smoothie Diet
Tumblr media
Getting started on the 21-Day Smoothie Diet is easier than you think. First, stock your kitchen with a variety of fresh fruits, veggies, and smoothie essentials like almond milk, protein powder, and chia seeds. A quality blender is your best friend here—one that can handle everything from frozen berries to leafy greens.

Start your day with a Green Machine Smoothie, blending spinach, green apple, cucumber, and a splash of lemon juice. This nutrient-packed blend is refreshing and energizing. For a midday treat, try the Berry Bliss Smoothie, combining strawberries, blueberries, Greek yogurt, and honey for a sweet, antioxidant-rich boost.
The key is to mix things up! Experiment with different fruits, veggies, and add-ins like flaxseed or protein powder to keep your smoothies interesting and packed with nutrients. Don’t hesitate to get creative—smoothies are one of the easiest meals to personalize to your tastes.
Tips for Staying on Track
Staying engaged with the 21-Day Smoothie Diet is crucial for seeing the best results—and having fun along the way! One way to keep things exciting is to explore new flavors and ingredients regularly. Try tropical fruits like mango or pineapple for a refreshing twist, or throw in a handful of herbs like mint for an extra burst of flavor.
Creating a smoothie rotation based on specific health goals is another great strategy. Dedicate one week to detox smoothies loaded with greens and citrus, and the next week to energy-boosting blends with bananas and oats. By focusing on different benefits, you’ll keep the diet fresh and engaging.
And don’t worry if life gets busy—smoothies are designed to be flexible. If you’re short on time, prep your ingredients ahead of time. Store them in the freezer, and simply blend when you’re ready. This not only saves time but ensures that you always have a healthy meal on hand, no matter how hectic your schedule gets.
Remember, the goal is progress, not perfection. If you miss a day or slip up, don’t stress! The 21-Day Smoothie Diet is all about creating healthier habits for the long term, so enjoy the process and celebrate your successes along the way.
