For no particular reason I have decided to start this Blog with Strawberry Milk. Actually Vanilla and Strawberry milk-like substance. My closest relative (over 50) who happens to be drop dead gorgeous for any age and has a body to die for slurped on this the other day when she came to visit. She did me the favor of leaving the carton so I could hunt down the contents. I went online and the Abbott website indicated it could be located in stores within 5,10 15 miles of where I live. I opted for a 5 mile radius as I am currently not allowed to drive due to ankle. Stop and Shop, Vitamin Shop and Rite Aid. I was surprised Fresh Market or CVS (closest to me) were not included. Vitamin Shop was all out and Stop and Shop only had one four pack of Vanilla left. I confess I sipped on the last little bit in the carton after relative had gone and deduced the vanilla contents were not completely unctuous. There were however multiple strawberry packs left. The best of it was both the one lone vanilla and all the strawberry packs were deeply discounted......
So that is how after having confirmed that the "best before" dates were all late 2015 or 2016 I have over 30 of these little cartons in my fridge! ($1 each).
In truth I cannot stomach drinking the strawberry on its own. However, this is probably due to memories of working as a nurse with naso-gastric feeds and corresponding negative associations with "Ensure". Unfortunately, as I now had multiple packs of strawberry and not vanilla, I had to come up with an alternative consumption strategy. Solution: I really do like it in good old "black" tea as a milk substitute. As I do not like green tea at all, or black tea without milk, and almond milk doesn't cut it - I am happy. Post Script: Did I mention the plan is to cut out Sugars and Carbs?
