Guess what guys? I found liquid GOLD while on break from my job today.
Well, not literal gold, but it was pretty awesome anyways.
I work at Spirit Halloween, and they force you to take half hour breaks every 6 hours you work, so i walked up to the mall with my friend Chris to visit a tiny Bubble Tea And Smoothie Shack stand that had caught my eye for a long while.
There appeared to be a grey milkshake on display of the menu.
It was called a Taro Milkshake, and it looked interesting.
So we asked the guy who ran the place what taro was, and ended up with an answer along the lines of "a type of potato that tastes like you're eating cookies".
Wait, a POTATO SHAKE? Sounds gross, right? You don't wanna eat something like that...right?
I decided to order it. And sure enough, after he had made the shake and charged us, I tasted it and BEHOLD, THE TASTE OF SUGAR COOKIES. He didn't add any sugar at all, just taro powder, ice, water, and a bit of milk. We were so amazed by how something so natural could taste like the treats that people crave so much around the holidays, and cheat on their diets to have.
So for those who have a sweet tooth, but still want to be healthy, i suggest looking up recipes involving Taro, you could probably even make cookies with it and pretend they are sugar cookies =]
Satisfying and good for you at the same time, how much better could it get?
