Recently Ari's been called upon to work super human hours so there hasn't been an opportunity to do the grocery shopping in sometime (as a reference super human hours is coming home at 7am, 2am and 4am respectively and getting up to do it again the next day!). And as each day passes with a diminishing pantry and fridge my meal choices become more challenging and exciting :)

Yesterday I still managed to bake some Anzac cookies which was cool, lucky for me it's an egg-less recipe because eggs were so 4 days ago lol. Today takes the cake though and I'm putting out a disclaimer as a don't (definitely don't) try this at home kids!

Well the back story to this is I've started a workout regime rendering me somewhat crippled in soreness most other days, so I've been having protein shakes to counteract this. I hate protein, it is so unpleasant while leaving a waxy mouth feel ergh.. so Ari suggested making it into a smoothie with banana.

Now protein, splash of milk, a banana and a few cubes of ice whizzed up in the blender equals magic. I streamlined breakfast altogether by adding my morning shot of coffee to the smoothie (delicious), I could also throw my daily vitamins in there too but I think that would be taking efficiency a bit far. But how could you not love killing two birds with one stone? Actually... I never got this saying, I'd rather not stone any birds let alone two plus these days my arms and legs are so sore I can't even imagine squatting to pick up a stone much less mustering the strength to throw them at birds :) Back to my story.

So bananas disappeared a few days ago, shortly followed by milk so breakfast has become a sort of coffee protein frappe with water and ice, which surprisingly I can't complain about. Today the fridge produced an avocado from behind the lemons and limes! Obscurely hidden from view and on the downhill side of its life cycle, I decided to whiz it out of its misery. This is what I got...

The blender drew the short straw in this process, I couldn't believe how much it looked like someone had used it as a sick bag and then thought it would be funny to blend it up. Besides from tasting unusual, quite rich actually, the texture was absolutely amazing. Limited breakfast options indeed.
