the worst extremely low-stakes consequence of societal fatphobia is when a low-calorie/“”“"healthy”“”“ recipe is actually good and suddenly everyone thinks you’re sharing it as a diet aid and not because it fucks hard
anyway put some frozen raspberries in a bowl and pour just a leetle bit of cold oat milk over it and the oat milk will semi-freeze into a kind of ice cream texture. and now you have fake raspberry ripple ice cream that’s 90% raspberries by volume
While we’re on this topic let me share this banana pancake recipe adapted from here that is ostensibly a "healthy” recipe but is just so crazy easy I make it once a week:
1-2 ripe bananas (depending on preferred level of sweetness/banananess)
2 eggs
½ cup (120g) unsweetened almond milk
1 cup (120g) old fashioned rolled oats, gluten free if desired
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 heaped teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
You chuck it all in a blender until smooth (be careful not to run for too long or the starches in the banana and oats will activate and become slimy) then cook on pan/griddle as normal pancakes with your oil/butter of choice. I usually get 3-4 pancakes out of this on a medium-size non-stick pan.
Now importantly these will not be as super light and fluffy as regular pancakes, but they are still yummy and are great if, like me, you are pre-diabetic and get blood sugar crashes after eating high-gi carbs but want to regularly eat pancakes. I like to eat them with sweetened greek yoghurt or almond butter and freshly chopped fruit for extra protein and fibre.
I’m at the point where I’ve memorised the ingredient ratios and it takes me 15 minutes to whip up a batch of these from start to finish in the morning. Give them a try!
in the whole greenland conversation i feel like there’s not nearly enough acknowledgement of the fact that greenland is already suffering under imperial rule. seeing wayyyyy too much tacit validation of denmark’s possession of greenland on socials today. look into reproductive abuse against greenland inuit women by the danish state. US acquisition of greenland would be bad but the status quo is not good. this is not a matter of sovereignty, i only wish it were a matter of sovereignty, it’s just a bunch of imperial powers playing RISK with indigenous people’s lives again
