APAD: Take the bitter with the sweet

APAD:      Take the bitter with the sweet
meaning: To accept both the negative and positive aspects of something. The phrase is typically used in an acknowledgement that nothing is perfect.
e.g.          When it comes to this job, you have to take the bitter with the sweet. It's hard, but it's worth it.

Today, I had a relaxing breakfast at home without have to be stucked in the morning heavy traffic.

My breakfast  -  a smoothie bowl  is realy delicious. I am very full after finish my bowl. Otherwise I can finish another bowl. It is a perfect balance of sweet, sour and  bitter. It is creamy like silk. 

It was blended from  orange, bitte mello, banana, and carrort and pineapple,  lemon juice and some nuts. 

Ingredients
SMOOTHIE BOWL
2 fully ripe golden bitter melon
1 orange
half middle size carot 
1 small ripe banana ( fresh or frozen)
half cup frozen pineapply chunks
2-3 Tbsp walnut
2-3 cashew 

2 cups of water
1-2 tbs lemon juice

 


TOPPINGS optional
1 Tbsp sunflower seeds

It looks a lot of stuff. But we alway have most of them in our fridge. So it is very easy and fast to make this kind of breakfast. Some time I just replace the bitter melons with other veggies, keeping other ingredients the same.

Thank you. Have a good day!

向盈盈学习把咖啡戒了算了,我每次看人坐在车里排长队买咖啡都不可理解,或佩服他们的耐心。

戒了好。sometime coffee has strange effect to some people.

是的,今年特别忙,压力一大,喝咖啡,居然就胸闷,呼吸不畅。实在吓了一跳。大家都要保重身体呀。
盈盈一笑间
哈哈,我属于特例。咖啡的香味浓郁,对于爱好者来说,还是很诱人哒。。
