Strawberry Banana Bonanza

When it comes to hard candy, strawberry is always my flavor of choice. This works out really well for me and Ryan because he loves the yellow and green flavors and always leaves me the reds!

Today’s breakfast featured lots o’ strawberry flavor, but from healthy sources, not artificially delicious gummy candies.

This morning I woke up feeling not-so-hot and wanted to enjoy a breakfast that would be easy on my stomach but still tasty.

I made myself a super-easy strawberry banana bonanza breakfast.

Today’s meal included a bowl of freshly sliced strawberries, a large banana and a cup of strawberry banana Chobani yogurt.

It was super tasty, but I’m not sure how the yogurt feels in my belly. I think I may have been better off enjoying a simple piece of toast with some buttah?

Question of the Morning

What foods or drinks do you feel like make you feel better when you’re sick?

Nothin’ makes me feel better than a cup of my mom’s homemade chicken noodle soup! I also think drinking ginger ale when I’m sick helps to ease my stomach.

  1. My favorite sick food is toast with marmite (a british spread that is super salty) it just hits the spot and the salt always settles my stomach

  2. Strawberry is always my flavor of choice too! Love it. And I’m with you on the ginger ale – my mom always gave that to us.

  3. I love fruit when i’m starting to feel crummy. I’ll make a smoothie in a bowl packed with berries and vitamin c. Cold and healing. 🙂 Perfection.

  4. When I’m sick, I need to eat something bland and easy to digest, such as oatmeal, toast or a handful of non-sugary cereal. Eating anthing sweet or acidic just upsets my stomach even more. Vanilla soft serve ice cream really soothes my stomach when I’m feeling sick and it’s super tasty!

  5. I love soup as well when I’m feeling sick, especially homemade 🙂

    Hope you feel better!

  6. Tomato soup is definitely my number one food to eat when I am sick. Sometimes I will eat it with a grilled cheese sandwich. It’s “comfort” sick food. Yummy!

  7. i’m all about chicken noodle soup and sprite…it always makes me feel better that i’m eating those comfort foods!

  8. I always eat a bowl of cottage cheese. It’s cold and bland

  9. Ooo, I’d definitely steer clear of yogurt if I didn’t feel well!! I hope you’re feeling better.

  10. 7up or Sprite with toast or crackers, but I haven’t been sick in years!
    Strawberry/Banana flavors are the best.

  11. I’m such a freak because when I’m sick, I do not lose my appetite at all. Everything sounds good to me from nachos to pizza to oatmeal to cake. ha!

  12. When I’m sick, I’m all about dry toast and ginger ale! Hope you get to feeling better soon!

  13. I have that yogurt for a snack today! When I’m nauseous, flattened coke helps, or ginger ale. I actually hate soup when I’m sick.

  14. when i’m sick, all i can eat is fruit, and sometimes creamy things like yogurt & applesauce. seriously nothing else sounds good to me and i have to force myself to eat anything else. lots of people like toast or soup when they’re sick but i just can’t do it.

  15. My mother ojiya. It’s a Japanese porridge-like dish made with soft rice, tofu, dried seaweed, miso, onions and potatoes..:)

  16. I love chewing ginger chews when I’m nauseous- it really does help. Other than that, when I’m sick all I want is carbs. Cereal, toast, tortillas, pitas…I try to just honor by body and give it what it wants! Hope you feel better soon!

  17. When my tummy is sick… toast. How dull.

    But when I have sore throat, it’s all about the soups! Homemade chicken noodle & Hot & Sour soup- YUMM!

  18. When I’m sick, I am usually a tea, ginger ale, toast, and soup kind of gal. Nothing too complicated, and everything is quick to make. If I have more of an appetite, I throw some ice cream in there as a treat 🙂

  19. This will sound weird but actually coke makes me feel better….but best of all is just WATER!

  20. Ginger ale, toast, crackers..perfect feel better items.

  21. I always drink ginger ale when my stomach is upset and definitely dry toast or with some buttah.

    Hope you feel better!

  22. If I have a stomach ache, nothing hits the spot more than ginger ale and Saltines. I only like soup when my stomach isn’t riled up.

  23. Soup & tea always make me feel better!! Ginger is also really good for tummy problems. Hope you feel better! 🙂

  24. My dad always used to make me milkshakes when I was sick when I was little. Recently he tried that again, and it made me even more sick! Dairy does not mix well with me when my stomach is upset! Not sure why they used to make me feel better when I was younger!

    Hope you feel better!!

  25. Definitely ginger ale! That is proven. The ginger is a soother. Toast is also a good one, as is soups. Anything with dairy irritates my stomach so I try to stay as bland as possible.

    Hope you feel better soon!!

  26. My favorite as a child was Sunny Delight – I had to have it when I was sick. I had it several years ago, and it tasted horrible. Must have been a kid thing 🙂 . Now, ice cream always makes me feel better 🙂 .

  27. I don’t really like soup, so when I’m sick it is usually crackers and 7up. Of course, nothing healthy! lol

  28. I nice hot bowl of oatmeal is pretty easy on my stomach. Plus it is really tasty 😉

  29. I always a eat cheese toast when I’m sick, and try to stick to plain water to drink.
    Hope you feel better!

  31. I haven’t been able to hold anything down since Sunday. I feel horrible and all I’ve wanted was toast, chicken noodle soup, oatmeal, and bananas.

  32. When I am sick I carbo-load to the max. All I want to eat is toast, oatmeal, crackers, etc.! 🙂

  33. Homemade chicken noodle soup made by the husband for cold/congestion/soar throat, and toast with a little butter for those times when you feel you can’t eat a thing. Hot tea helps as well.
