I seem to sleep better and have sweeter dreams when I take my calcium supplement before bed. (I discovered this by forgetting to take it in the morning a few days.) Try it. Let me know what happens.
Sweeter than calcium dreams, sometimes too sweet, is apricot nectar. I froze little ice cubes of it last week, wanting just a frozen splash of the pretty juice at a time. This morning, waking thirsty from last night's volleyball, I blended a few cubes with soymilk. It's SO. Delicious.
Wow--a calcium supplement? I don't take one of those, and I'm pretty much galloping into menopause. So I can't really answer your question, actually.
ReplyDeleteAnd soy? hate it. I like soy sauce well enough, and I liked edamame the one time I had it, but there are many various (and nefarious) forms of soy that do not agree with me. The idea of soy milk makes me a little queasy. (and it's really not "milk" so much as "juice.")
I like apricot, though, and I've made smoothies, so that part of the program I like.
Hmmmm...maybe you should take one. I actually get horrible charlie horses during my menses unless I take a calcium and magnesium supplement. Perhaps this is because I can't drink milk, what with the lactose intolerance. (Aged cheese is OK, though.)
ReplyDeleteYou can blend the apricot ice cubes with regular milk. We just happened to have soy---what with the lactose thing.
I probably should, especially given that I've been eating a lot less cheese, as part of the general ARP (ass-reduction program), and less milk as well.
ReplyDeleteI am monumentally lazy these days, and the though of gathering the various ingredients for smoothies and then actually, you know, BLENDING them, in a BLENDER, well, I'll just have a mango dum-dum and pretend it's fruit.
