My favorite breakfast while I've been here is yogurt and Jane's homemade granola. Now, I'm not talking about Yoplait Light....I'm talking about fresh fruit, whole milk yummy goodness!! It is incredible!!! At first I freaked about a little bit about the fact that I was eating full fat yogurt that tasted more like softened ice cream than a healthy snack until I realize that there are only about 250 calories in a cup!!! Isn't that great? I don't know how they do it but America must learn quickly.
Speaking of calories, I love how on the nutrition labels over here they call it "energy" instead of "calories". How refreshing! "Calories" has become such a taboo word with immense negative connotations so reading "energy" is a million times better. For example, how wonderful is it to say "My chocolate croissant has 600 units of energy in it! I'm gonna be raring to go today! Watch out world... Give me another one!"
Which reminds me...I have come to stand firm in the belief that while in Europe, eating pastries is equivalent to eating celery. Case closed.
...It's the little things that I love about this country or rather, this continent :-)
