Type 2 Diabetes? Whatever.

You can’t go wrong with vanilla can you? Plain, normal, “just one of us”.

Well, in this case, it went like this.

I took the new trusty shaker out. Washed it. Looked at it. Hoped that 200ml of water was going to fill it.

Exclusive: It didn’t. Because it holds 600ml. So breakfast just turned into a shot glass of milkshake.

I put the water in. I put the powder in. I lobbed in the little mixer ball.

Being a man, the next part was rather easy as many of us have practiced our entire lives.

I grabbed it and gave it some damn good wrist action. I used vigor only used for…..anyway. I digress.

There is now a creamy white liquid where the powder and water once stood from the vigorous wrist action. OK, seems I didn’t digress. I should get this back on track.

Sniff test:

A full body with tones of vanilla and wanting.

Taste test:

Yeah OK, it is sort of vanilla. I mean, this is subjective isn’t it. What does vanilla actually taste like? Cheap vs expensive ice cream are vastly different. Vanilla with chocolate tastes different. Vanilla flavouring in a cake tastes nothing like it. But my god. CAKE! Maybe this milkshake is bang on point? No idea. Do you have any ideas? I can live with the taste and it is a nice texture. It isn’t peanut butter or marmite on toast. My stomach doesn’t feel like I have had food.

It is going to be a long day. But I am allowed black coffee which hey, that can inhibit appetite. Right? RIGHT?

Is it lunchtime yet?
