Sour Peaches and Bill Nye

It all started with a couple of sour peaches. Last week, I came back from the oh-so-famous Torrance Farmers Market with a bag of peaches, strawberries, blueberries, and a pineapple. I was excited for my purchases and was ready to start my oh-so-healthy lifestyle. After a few days, I decided to have the peaches with my bowl of cereal. And guess what? They were sour. As in NO flavor. None.

 

So, what am I to do? I put on a smile and gave it to my husband. Told him, you need to start eating more fruit.  And guess what? He took a bite and walked away. Whhhhhhhaaaaaaat? How dare he walk away from fresh peaches! Then I heard him sing. It was the Bill Nye theme song.

 

Bill Nye the Science Guy…Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill!

 

And then it hit me. I remembered watching one of the endless Bill Nye video at work (thanks to my co-worker) that talked about trash. Yup. Trash. And how packaging is wasteful. Why buy individual cereal boxes when you can buy one large cereal box and save on packaging? Why buy individual yogurt cups when they sell large ones and you can scoop out some for yourself?

 

So how does this all come together? Well, I made a smoothie. I dumped the sour peaches, along with bananas, and the blueberries (they were going bad) and mixed it with yogurt. Yogurt from the big container.  No more wasting fruit, and I’m done buying individual yogurt cups.
