I have a new, crippling disease.
I eat too fast.
It’s not like a cute, “whoops I’m done before you!” It’s an, “OMG I have licked my plate clean and no one has even touched their main courses yet” kind of thing.
I feel like it’s the worst in public. I know I’m alarming onlookers. I mean, there is no way to eat like a ravenous gorilla & still look graceful. I was at Panera Bread yesterday & was dipping this sammich into some tomato soup & literally slamming it into my face. There was soup all over my mouth, crumbs on my chin. I went through 12 napkins, finishing the meal in 4 minutes flat. ALL while carrying on a conversation. Something is WRONG. It doesn’t have to be this way, does it?
Perhaps it does because I specifically used this wide bowl for my smoothie so I could shove my face all up in there.
Time: 20 minutes (prep + smoothieing) | Serves: 1
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup of frozen berries (raspberries, blackberries, + blueberries used here)
- 1/2 cup of frozen pineapple
- 1 tbsp. of peanut butter
- 1 scoop of vanilla whey protein
- 1 tbsp. of chia seeds, + more for serving
- 4 oz. of nonfat vanilla yogurt
- 1 cup of almond milk
- Granola, for serving
- Fresh berries, for serving
How to:
- In a nutribullet, ninja, blender or other pulverizing contraption, combine berries + pineapple + peanut butter + protein + chia seeds + yogurt + almond milk
- Blend until smooth + no chunks
- Pour into a bowl + top with more chia seeds + granola + berries
- Serve cold
- Time yourself + see if you can beat my record of swallowing this in 2.5 minutes

…I have been told that I eat so fast, my family is terrified to get their hands anywhere near my plate, for fear they, too will be ingested. Thanks for the chuckle. Great post.

Hey! There’s nothing wrong with scarfing down something when it’s as delicious as this! (or Panera Bread’s tomato soup in my humble opinion – that soup is amazing!)
Just remember to take deep breaths in-between your bites! LOL 🙂 🙂
