Want to get my attention?
To solicit a lecture from the Nutrition Nazi on why you need to eat more veggies all you need to do is:
Pick through the crudite platter, cock your head sideways, and ask “What’s up with the white broccoli?”
Before thrashing you soundly about the head, I will tell you nothing is wrong with the white broccoli… mostly because it’s cauliflower.
Hey! Where are the Twinkies?
Yeah, but what’s up with the green cauliflower that’s next to it?
OH NO THEY DI’INT!
mrtl – Mariah ate them!
gary – I know. Wtf?
Dima – Oh yes they did!
Check out Pea’s post about watching AI for the first time: http://twentyfivewords.blogspot.com/2006/01/not-just-no-but-hay-ull-no.html
Cauliflower even gets a shout out!
Bless your heart mrtl. That post was *awesome* and yeah, WordGirl (she’s “Pea” at mrtl?) rocked the cflower too.
Synchronicity my friend. That crap’s straight up freaky.
Hey there’s also light green broccoli too! That’d really freak out those veggie-phobes. The white broccoli, so to speak, makes excellent mashed potatoes. Just add them in to sweet or white or even on their own.
I made a fruit smoothie today with ripe/frozen berries of all kinds and a banana. I’m feeling faaaaaabulous.
Hanni, any good smoothie recipes?
It’s just albino broccoli. Haven’t they seen an albino before?
laurenbove – yeah in response to this post, my friend Christophe pointed out that there’s a new hybrid broccoli/cauliflower thing out there called “broccoflower”. Check It Out.
And of course I have a smoothie recipe! I am the Nutrition Nazi after all, and few things are as nutritious as fresh fruit!
Hänni’s Dairy-Free, Sugar-Free, (Yet Still Delish) Smoothie for 1
4-6 ice cubes
1 small/med apple peeled, cut and frozen
4 frozen cherries
1/3 frozen banana
1/4 c pine nuts (great dairy substitute) or walnuts
1/4 c frozen blueberries
1/4 c water
*for extra sweetness add a few chunks of frozen pineapple. Mango is good too.
*to make it really good for you, add a tsp of liquid chlorella and a tsp of berry powder (Berry powder can also be used as a tea when it’s placed in water, or pour it on top of apples before baking for an extra-sweet, extra-healthy treat).
What the hell happened to Broccoflower?
I find it funny that you call yourself the nutrition NAZI and yet you don’t want to call cauliflower the WHITE broccoli. What kind of NAZI are you? lol
Also, I think you could use this sound clip as your nutrition nazi theme song.

Personally, it makes me fear all veggies, but maybe it could work for you.
Mmm, broccoli.
Who cares about disgusting cauliflower anyway?
GAH!!! Pea and wordgirl started visiting around the same time, and I’ve gotten them mixed up. It’s wordgirl’s post. Sorry!!
In the picture…Is that Orange Celery?
Mmmm I just downed a 5 cheese sandwich – so not healthy, but SO yummy!
Jackie – I have not seen zee albino broccoli before, no.
Suzanne – Since this posted, I have a friend who works at a grocery, who said they have orange cauliflower too! Yes, I am for real.
Phineas – You are totally demented. I *am* going to keep that song as the Nutrition Nazi theme though. Maybe that makes me demented too?
Holly – I know, cauliflower tastes like dog crap. It’s like the one veggie (besides brussel sprouts) that I won’t go near.
mrtl – Eventually I figured it out on my own. I’m Nancy Drew remember?
William – I’m fairly certain those are carrots…
Sassy8877- That sandwhich would totally make me constipated.
