What are you eating?

I'm vegan so the multivitamin is just for caution. Better safe than sorry.

 

Anyways, Yerba Mate tastes sort of like green tea (it's not as bitter) and you're not supposed to get it as hot as other teas. It's level of "caffeine" is debated.

DOES YERBA MATE CONTAIN CAFFEINE?

 

 

There are currently two schools of thought regarding the stimulant in yerba mate. Recent scientific research suggests that the stimulant in yerba mate is caffeine; however, caffeine-sensitive individuals do not experience the harsh side effects (jitters, stomach upset, headaches, addiction) that are common complaints with coffee, black tea, or Asian green tea.

 

It is important to note that yerba mate provides a wealth of nutrition in the form of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants, all of which may contribute to the "good" energy most people associate with yerba mate.

 

The term "mateine" has been used to refer to the stimulant in yerba mate. Some researchers feel that the stimulating compound in yerba mate does differ from caffeine. We have elected to use the phrase "Naturally Caffeinated" to share the most accurate scientific information currently available. Guayakí is still dedicated to furthering the research in this area, and we will continue to keep you well informed about any discoveries we make.

 

Also the vanilla hemp milk is for flavor (vanilla) and a bit of protein and other goodness.

Two...? Did they get smaller or something? Then again, back in high school the Chipotle across the street made theirs a bit bigger than most other stores. Ah.. memories. Every other Friday was Chipotle Day with me having an extra long lunch period. Eat it nice and slowly compared to clomping it down in under five minutes on most other days.

My friends in college used to refer to the "Two Burrito Challenge." I never even attempted it, but three of them succeeded.

 

*Edit* - Though at least one of the ones who succeeded has also been known to eat an entire large Pizza Hut pizza alone in a single sitting.

I swear I eat like the older generations of my family... all thanks to my grandma. So, you are poor and Chinese... what do you eat?

 

This with white rice.

And it is damn tasty but very salty. I swear it has 1000% of recommend salt intake. Still very good though. However, for my health sake, I cooked up some spinach as well since at Farmer's, its $2 for three bunches that I can split into six meals. Sadly, I can't be Popeye.

I grilled some hot links and burgers. Had some pasta salad and carrot salad as sides. Cooler stocked with drinks. I've got enough left over to invite more friends tomorrow for another BBQ!

 

Only, Harris Ranch New York steaks are 3.99 per lb at a certain store. So, I have larger meat to conquer on the grill tomorrow afternoon.

Some terrible mistake of a congee. I used Italian parsley... the Asian stuff doesn't have this... taste. I should of just done green onions.

 

At least I have something awesome... homemade ginger ale. I loaded up on the ginger for this one and its kicking my ass. So good.

 

Edit: Spam makes it... taste really damn good.
