Soy-Free Love Potion

Remember middle school, when “going out” with someone meant his dad would drive him to meet you—and your mom—at the movies?

Today I was thinking back to middle school, the time when girls discover that whole “boys have cooties” thing is a lie. My mind wandered through first crushes to first kisses to first dates.

After my run, I extended the love-on-the-brain theme into breakfast: with a Lavender love potion parfait. The cream is my Healthy Whipped Cream blended with blueberries; lavender refers only to the color, not the taste.

Soy Free Lavender Cream

(Makes 1 1/2 cups: one Katie-sized serving!)

  • sweetener of choice
  • 1/16th tsp salt
  • handful blueberries
  • scant 2 1/2 tbsp water (20g)
  • 3 drops coconut extract, optional but recommended
  • 1/2 serving agar base (recipe linked below)

Instructions: First, make up the agar base. When it’s cooled, put 1/2 of it in a blender (or Magic Bullet) with all the other ingredients and blend away.  Whip very well. I like to put it in the freezer for a few minutes prior to eating, so it’s super-cold.

See original cream post for Nutrition Information.

For the parfait, I simply layered cooked oatmeal, cacao nibs, and the cream.

Question of the Day:
Do you remember your first kiss?

I am sorry to say, mine was not “Hollywood movie” romantic. Actually it was mortifying! I was in 7th grade, at a friend’s birthday party.

A bunch of us were sitting in her backyard, including my boyfriend at the time. Suddenly, everyone starts chanting, “Kiss kiss kiss!” Because so few of my friends were in relationships at such a young age, they decided that others’ relationships were their business; it was like Gossip Girl. Ugh. Anyway, the guy leans in, and I get all nervous. I scream, “Don’t kiss me, I have taco breath!” :-?Mortifying with a capital M. (But in the end, he kissed me anyway lol.)

    I did never really kiss a boy because I am single since birth (except for a faux-relationship with a cute gay boy in 6th grade, but that doesn’t count), but maybe I will seduce some cute guy with your love potion 😉
    Thinking about boys as an activity while running seems also nice and I will try it today 🙂 I am always really shy around boys so I don’t have any male friends 🙁 you seem to be very good with other people, do you have any tips?

    Mine happened when I was 17, and had just begun dating this guy who was a few years older. I’d never really thought about exactly how kissing was done as I was a real-life late-blooming bookworm, but figured it couldn’t be too complex in the moment. However, I underestimated. We were sitting on the couch watching a movie, when all of a sudden it was like I was being attacked by his face! ( I’ll spare you the details) It hit me that he was trying to make-out, so I did what any freaked-out bookworm would do… I tensed up every muscle in my face and jumped back- only I accidentally spit in his! oops.
