Tiny food business

Right now, my "job" requires me to be both super stressed and physically active. I am a multi-tasking stripper, trying to juggle my business and my boobies. One hand on the pole, the other clutching a planner. Except not at all.

I'm just running around a lot, hitting the sheets tired way too late each night and not taking very good care of myself in the food basis -- not eating enough, at all, which I've learned by now does nothing but slow my metabolism, and make me run out of steam before I need to. So I've turned to every woman's super space food, yogurt.

I hate yogurt, I need to tell you this. To me, Yoplait is a horrifying experience -- it always goes lukewarm halfway through the cup, there's a chalky aftertaste and it feels like it is coming back up as I try to choke it down. I was there for the revolution, though, and began to eat low or non-fat Greek-style yogurt, and kept that habit up for around a year. Calcium, protein, cultures. But I stopped, and now I eat a Larabar or Odwalla bar if I'm lucky, and then I follow that up with a handful of nuts or another Larabar, which I love beyond reason, a few hours later and then eat actual food once I'm done. But this morning I realized that I've felt better on the days that I added something else into the mix, and that something, today and every morning from now on, must be yogurt.

Enter Rachel's Yogurt.

I buy them locally at New Seasons, and they are not only delicious, with interesting flavors (my favorite is 'Vitality' -- Pomegranate Acai) and beautiful packaging, but they're sweetened with cane juice instead of artificial sweeteners or corn syrup. They can be eaten quickly, and you don't have to chew. Along those lines, I also make meat smoothies, but I think the yogurt wins out over that taste treat. Liquified Venison at eight in the morning is a hard thing to beat, though.

I love New Seasons. I will have to try this. I usually buy Tilamook, Vanilla Bean, which I love.

IMHO, low or non-fat yogurt is just not worth it. You're not going to die of a heart attack from eating 2% yogurt. Plus, the taste upgrade is huge, and the fat content helps your yogurt stay cold longer.
