I top my egg whites and veggie spaghetti with cottage cheese…it may not look pretty but its really good!

I like baking a protein cake with whey and water and then mashing up my sweet potatoes in it

I don’t know if this is gross, but lots of people find it a little odd. I love to break crunchy granola bars (like Nature Valley) into hot chocolate. Let it soak a little, and it makes a divine treat!

Thanks so much for the inspiration!

I eat greens in my oats too – except I make ‘em savory instead, with some parm cheese sprinkled in.

A lot of Chinese food I grew up with is considered “gross.” But to me, it’s homecooking!!!

I think I would totally blend up the oats to make them a uniform green, only because I think it would be so pretty that way. I do have some frozen spinach I should look at using up before I move, so I’m just have to try it out.

As for “gross” foods, the first thing that came to mind was calamari. My sister thinks it is the most repulsive thing, with the tentacles and all, so I make sure to taunt her with it when I have it

I’m definitely going to have to try it — good idea using a super ripe banana to negate any of the spinachy flavor!

I think that might be too much for me in the morning:) Glad you tried it and liked it though! My dad thinks hummus tastes like dirt, but I love it!

My boyfriend thinks it’s disgusting when I put cottage cheese on my sandwiches. I say he would never really know unless he tried it. (That’s not happening anytime soon).

@Brooke: It didn’t really take getting used to– it’s sweet and natural tasting. You should try it!

Tina,

Quick question: how did you get used to using agave in your coffee? Is it very different from sugar? I recently gave up diet coke as my caffeine choice and want to add coffee in, but don’t want to use my usual sugar. How did you do it? Thanks!

Oh yeah, and I’m proud of you for mixing spinach into your oats….it looks good (though spinach is admittedly not my favorite green veggie). Take care!
