Red
is for vitamin C
As
you’ve read in previous posts, there is never a shortage of food in Korea…they
are definitely an eating culture. So, my
plan of attack has been to eat mainly salads for dinner when I cook at
home. Well, I’ve run into a little
problem with that plan…produce is so darn expensive!!!
I
haven’t been saving as much money as I had hoped, so I took a look at my
finances to see where it’s all going. I
was a little shocked to learn that a huge chunk is groceries. This has caused me to change my eating
habits. I’m going to stick to my omelet
for breakfast (one egg and one egg white with lots of peppers and onions). My school lunches will remain my biggest meal
of the day. Dinner…instead of tuna salad
and fruit…is now a green smoothie.
Spinach is pretty cheap, and I can usually get a good deal on browning
bananas. When you freeze them for
smoothies, the browning doesn’t matter.
And I’m thrilled to say…I found PB2!!!!
There’s on online store called iHerb that ships to Korea pretty
inexpensively. Add that to my smoothies,
and it’s great tasting with some added protein!
Produce
Rainbow
Can’t
wait for that tasty strawberry.

At
least the poem keeps me in the know.
Violet has vitamins and a little manganese
Grapes...gotta get me some of these!
So many options, it’s hard to choose!
I’ll eat them all so I can lose!
