Bananas

June 23rd, 2006 at 03:34 pm

Anyone who knows me knows that I absolutely cannot stand eating fresh fruit. I only eat fruit in dried or juice form. (Well, I'll eat almost anything in bread form. Banana bread, orange-currant bread, apple-cinnamon bread. I just like bread. *shrugs*) However, these are not as good for me as the fresh form is. I'm not completely unintelligent. I know the facts.

Its just a texture thing. For whatever reason (though I'm pretty sure it has something to do with kids in the sandbox talking about how bugs squish when you eat them *shudders and gags*), I just don't like biting into something and having juice gush into my mouth. It makes me want to hurl.

But, I'm an adult, and sometimes adults have to do things they don't particularly like because they are the right things to do. *pouts* So, I've decided to start trying to eat more fresh fruit, and I'll be starting with bananas.

Why bananas, you ask? Because even though they are soft, they aren't exactly "squishy". I figure that means I won't want to wrech every time I bite into one. Its a theory, anyway. We'll just have to see if its a good one.

To better motivate myself to do this, I will put $0.25 into the Pennsic Fund every time I eat a banana. Even if its just cutting up half a banana and putting it on my cereal, it still counts in my mind, so contribute to the jar I shall. Here's hoping it works.

    I hate fruit and I won't eat any either. A banana is the only fruit I can stand and then I have to slice it and put sugar on it.

    Hey, but at least you're eating it. That's better than nothing. Wink

    Why not take fresh fruit and put it in a blender to make a smoothie?

    MJ,

    It something I've considered, but most of the smoothie recipes I've found are yogurt-based. While I enjoy the occasional whipped yogurt cup, I'm not a huge yogurt eater. But thanks for the suggestion. Its something I'll have to re-evaluate. Smile

    Not really, I probably haven't had 2 bananas in 10 years. I don't like yogert either. I am a funny eater, but real healthy! (I won't eat any fruits, vegetables or salads)
