Today was so much better than yesterday. In all honesty, yesterday really wasn’t bad – I mean, the weather was BEAUTIFUL and the temperature reached sixty-four degrees! I don’t like naming bad days because really, a day can only be a bad one if you let it be. I’m going to devote tonight’s post to one of my favorite foods… FREEZE-DRIED STRAWBERRIES.
OM NOM NOM
I got these babies from Trader Joe’s… what can I say? They were delicious!
SOOO GOOD. <3
My only complaints were is that they stained my fingers and mouth red, plus when crushed, they turn into a powder, therefore becoming quite messy. But like seriously, THEY ARE FUCKING AMAZING. The nutritionals are pretty decent, too: they’re single served bags, but come with the full benefits of strawberries. 7 grams of fiber, 230% daily value of vitamin C (although, lyk srsly, EVERYTHING comes with vitamin C these days). They’re a bit tarter than real strawberries, but in a good way. I LOVE ‘EM.
DESICCANT PACKET OF DOOOOM.
On a side note, there’s a desiccant packet inside the bag, which is used to absorb the moisture from the strawberries. DO NOT EAT-AH THE DESI, raves the packet. DO NOT EAT ME. …’kay. xD
Anyway, today overall was a better day for me. Although… I didn’t add in the extra calories. :/ While it’s mostly out of fear, it’s partially out of confusion, because I don’t know where to add those calories in. And they mostly need to be fats, which minimizes the options. I’m comfortable in adding chocolate syrup to ice cream, a good 100 calories right there, but chocolate syrup is fat free. I really want to enjoy what I have to add in, because then ED gets less of an excuse to say they’re bad for me. I don’t want this to feel like a chore. DEE-LEM-UH!
Oy, I hope things work out. I don’t want this to be an issue. I’m going to head off now and shower, then eat yet another snack. Hope you all have a fantastic Friday night, don’t stay up too late. ;D

I just love freeze dried fruit so much i love putting them on my tongue and letting the moisture sink in they are so good.
Glad your day went well! I love those, too, on yogurt, cereal, or just alone! Love em!
I heard about frozen dried fruit! I want to try the apple one
(never had an apple other than fresh)
Lol for the packet thing. I thought about eating eat many, many times xD. We’re crazy.
For the fat thing: how about a tbsp of PB in the ice cream? ‘ve seen many people do that. (ok not people…just bloggers)

Vanilla
Hmm, interesting idea. Does the PB work well in vanilla ice cream? xD
