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!

• 向盈盈學習把咖啡戒了算了，我每次看人坐在車裏排長隊買咖啡都不可理解，或佩服他們的耐心。 -天邊一片白雲- ♀ (0 bytes) () 09/12/2023 postreply 18:32:57
