Avacado : A fruit which has higest protein content
An Avacado Recepie Photo by Jeswin Thomas on Pexels.com While avocados are often praised for their high nutritional value, including healthy fats and various vitamins and minerals, they are not typically considered a significant source of protein. Avocados contain a modest amount of protein compared to other fruits, but it is still relatively low overall. On average, a medium-sized avocado…

I bet Miguel can cook REALLY well.
Like CRAZY WELL.
Tumblr media
Being a dad he did have to come up with something to eat for dinner every night
And with Gabriella being a bit picky, sometimes he had to get creative
And some of his favorite memories are the conversations he and Gabbie had while dinner was on the stove
But even now, he loves it. Miguel finds he act of cooking so relaxing. He likes the peace and the order of it
And even if he comes in really really late from HQ - he'll still try and cook something
Fighting sleep while cooking a quesadilla on the stove
He's a Sazon loyalist SORRY ADOBO STANS
There's always tortillas, sour cream and salsa verde in his fridge - freshly made
(if you got those you can figure something out)
And he grows his own cilantro and basil on the window sill
And he'll never use powdered garlic, only fresh
Yes he can eat garlic - yes people on campus ask him that a lot
(he's hot ACTUALLY a vampire)
His seafood is TO DIE FOR
Miguel can make amazing lobster tail, or crab legs (with Old Bay and butter of course)
And his Ceviche is SO GOOD and SO FRESH
Most likely makes everything spicy. It's not even that he 'loves' spicy food - He just makes it spicy AF and acts like he doesn't notice
MEANWHILE you're next to him and it hurts to breathe
He and Hobie are bean stans.
Miguel loves them in Chilli con Carne, with rice, refried, you name it
and Hobie goes through those British blue cans of Heinz baked beans like it's nobodies business
They both think beans are underrated
Makes AMAZING MOLE and even better Tamales
But you have to BEG him for weeks on end to get him to make Tamales cause he can't be bothered - and he will make you help
He likes Avocado, like in general. On toast, with eggs, guacamole use always a staple
He'll often just eat chips and guacamole the whole day in his office and he'll get pissed if the food court is out of it.
Well look at a corn shell ground beef taco and be like 'You think that's a taco? Is that what you honestly believe?'
Loves cooking with other people - in fact Miguel actually just likes working with people in general. That's why Lyla has a personality.
He's good at guiding others during cooking and teaching them things and not bossing them around
OBSESSED LIKE CONCERNINGLY SO
With mango and Tajin
He'll put Tajin seasoning on ANYTHING - the first time Jess saw him put it on watermelon she was like 'what for????'
But he loves fruit in general, watermelon, lychee, guava. A lot of them are grown fresh in the Society gardens
Strawberries are a favorite of his. Gabriella loved strawberries on pancakes
He pronounces lychee - Leechee (not Lie-chee)
He's the fucking PRO at protein shakes and milkshakes
The man needs workout fuel and whey powder and kale and potassium and-
He's in the kitchen 5am getting ready for the gym
Making a shit ton of peanut butter strawberry banana and oats protein smoothie with coconut milk and honey to sweeten
Because he does have a sweet tooth.
Jolly Ranchers are an oral fixation
You can hear him sucking on one, the quiet clacking of it.
Or see him press it into his cheek, lost in thought
But baking and sweets are his secret love
He just doesn't have anyone to test it on anymore - so he doesn't
His flan is the best, and it was one of Gabbie's show faves
He eats parfaits pretty often, and makes them a lot for Jess (and she teases it for it)
Miguel LOVES tres leches cake, as sweet as possible. And fancy stuff like creme brulee
Don't tell anyone but he actually really likes cheesecake he acts like it's a secret
With him cooking get ready for the most sugariest breakfast ever. It's a dad thing.
Whipped cream, fruits, syrup, chocolate chips, you name it.
Sure Miguel shouldn't have been giving Gabriella THAT much sugar THAT early - but with you it's fine so enjoy the stomach ache in two hours
Another dad thing:
COOK OUT FOOD.
Him and Peter get INTENSE.
Miguel swears by charcoal grills, Peter likes propane and gas
Miguel is the tio with the best Hot dogs and relish that HITS
Peter is the burger dad who spends an insane amount of money on Angus beef
Miguel judges your hot dog toppings but says nothing
His ELOTE???? EUPHORIC
Like,,, it'll bring you to tears it's so good - I don't know how he does it
And when it comes to cooking he's ALWAYS willing to learn
He'd rather invite you over and cook you something than going out to eat
He'll learn something you like or where you're from and make something from there
Even better if you can teach him how to make something - the two of you can make it together
But his favorite part by far is setting it down at the table, trying not to seem like he's watching your reaction
And seeing your face light up at the first bite
Or even better -
Seeing you collapse into bed with a food coma
Miguel with cooking and food as a love language

Yakuza Character Drink Headcanons
A brief break from the romance posts since I realize I did two in a row. Also thank you for all of the love you’ve shown my posts. Especially love when y’all write in the tags. Reminder that you can send any submissions or requests of any kind my way. Until then, enjoy this shorter post and I’ll see y’all tomorrow!
Kazuma Kiryu
Mostly drinks just water. Dislikes overly sweet drinks. Will totally go on whiskey distillery tours if given the choice. Favorite alcohol is whiskey. Has never been blackout drunk. When drunk, he just gets tired.
Majima Goro
Likes mildly sweetened drinks as well as sour drinks, like lemonade. Boba weirds him out (”Drinks are for sippin’ Not chewin’ on stuff!”) and he’s not a fan of coffee. Likes all alcohol but loves sharing a beer with Saejima most. A loud menace and easily provoked when drunk.
Saejima Taiga
Black coffee at the start of the day. Likes milkshakes. Fascinated by Ramune (”Why’s this drink got a lil’ ball inside?”) but tends to break them when opening them due to his strength. Favorite alcohol is beer, hands down. Gets hiccups when he drinks but rarely gets more than tipsy.
Akiyama Shun
Drinks mostly fruit juice of any kind. Almost never drinks water, he’s practically a camel. He’s a big fan of champagne but knows it’s not practical so usually gets whiskey or shochu. He’s a flirty drunk and giggles a lot.
Tanimura Masayoshi
Chugs soda like there’s no tomorrow when he’s working. Prefers soda over coffee. During sit down meals, he drinks tea, mostly chrysanthemum tea. Fond of boba drinks. Likes to drink shochu but is a total lightweight.
Ryuji Goda
Really into tea. Especially traditional tea ceremonies. Has his own personal tea set and takes it quite seriously. Honestly doesn’t drink much else. For alcohol, he dabbles in whiskey or champagne but knows his limits very well and will never get publicly drunk.
Mine Yoshitaka
Drinks protein shakes when he works out. Otherwise, it’s mostly water or herbal tea. Is surprisingly into cocktails and finds bartending to be rather interesting. Has a personal minibar at home. Never has more than one drink in public so he never gets drunk outside of his home.
Daigo Dojima
Like Ryuji except with coffee. Very interested in brewing his own coffee and will always take time to brew himself a cup in the morning. Hates instant coffee. Likes rum and whiskey. Drinking gives him headaches so he doesn’t do it often.
Nishikiyama Akira
Smoothies and fruit juice all the way. He does genuinely like the taste but also does it because it’s popular with the ladies. Tries to get into whiskey but really prefers vodka. Not great at knowing his limits with alcohol.
Tachibana Tetsu
It’s coffee in the morning and water at night. Detests soda. The carbonation feels uncomfortable to him. Seldom drinks, mostly because he’s a total lightweight and most alcohol makes him totally nauseous. Likes gin and tonic the most.
Haruka Sawamura
Boba tea drinker. Likes to get all kinds of toppings put into her drink. Blends her own juice at home using fruits from the market. Particularly fond of guava or strawberry juice. Has never tasted alcohol but the smell reminds her of cleaning products.

!! can i ask for some hart spirit x male reader headcanons pls 🥺
Absolutely you can!! (also hi birdflower it's been a while! ^^)
Tumblr media
Hart Spirit x Male Reader headcanons!
• Hart is definitely that kind of partner who can act like he's full of himself once he has you. For example if you're sitting in the crowd to watch one of his live performances, he might send you a quick wink or even pull his phone out in public just to text you something sappy XD
• He's still however getting used to physical affection though...the first time you hugged him he nearly froze up and it takes a few more for him to warm up and return them since he's only received hugs at a younger age..
• That being said though, Hart's absolute favorite way of showing affection is to keep eye contact while kissing your hand...he loves seeing how much you bright up and giggle over it >3
"Oh my, your palm really likes me too huh? Figured because I'm just sooo good when I do that~"
• It takes him a bit to gather the courage to tell his fans he's dating a man....he hasn't worked up to tell his parents though since they expect him to settle down with the right girl to promote Cheer City, and he hopes his fans respect that..
"Yeah I'm dating a dude, so what? You may send all the hashtags "oh my god Hart Spirit is so gay!" but I love Y/N this much and I'm not gonna stop!"
• Of course his teleporting pom-poms of power are how he takes you to the date areas he has in mind...his favorite spots tend to be the protein smoothie bars and sometimes even the back of his bleachers so you can help him with his video challenges, or just record a nice podcast together :3
• With you around he's been reluctantly more nice to Roi and his pals, he knows his long-determination to destroy the boy isn't going to get you on good standing with him anytime soon.....Doesn't seem to stop Jenny or Guava from teasing about him and Y/N though XD
"Gah, yeah I do that with him! One more word and I'll get back to work on that doomsday dev- uh Y/N I meant to say I was just gonna build a device of love! That's exactly what I was gonna say~"

I impulse purchased this jar of guava jelly last night. I had a croissant at home — there’s a surprising amount of protein in them, which was a fun discovery (cause everyone loves a good excuse) — and I love a little jam or preserves on a croissant.
I was thinking about how much I loved the Ocean Spray Mauna Lau’i guava juice in the 90s. (Do any of you remember this? It was heaven. Most delicious prepackaged juice I’ve ever consumed. By far.)
I tried it this morning and I don’t love it, which is a bummer. It’s bitter. (And yet the ingredients lead with 3 different kinds of sugar, which is puzzling.)
This lead me down a rabbit hole about the juice. It was sold to Mott’s in 2000 but then I guess discontinued at some point. Which is a bummer. Apparently Ocean Spray Tropical is supposed to be very similar, so I may give that a try, but I’m sure it won’t live up to the original. Or more accurately, my memory of the original. It’s tough to live up to someone’s nostalgia.

Superfoods in Indian Diet; right from your kitchen
One of the best things about living in India is its food and the culinary heritage that we experience in every meal that we consume. No wonder; back in medieval times, India was the world’s most sought-after country due to its treasure of spices, hidden from the rest of the world. To the present day, the culinary diversity that we find in India cannot be found anywhere else in the world. However, despite having a plethora of food options that are readily and easily available, we often find ourselves purchasing inexpensive, imported alternatives. 
There is a long list of food items that are so affordable that they can be found in every Indian household, yet they are inexpensive and often a luxury overseas, such as in the US. The list includes spices such as turmeric, cardamom, and ashwagandha (15x more expensive), grains such as millets and black gram (10x more expensive), and fruits and vegetables such as guava and jackfruit (20x more expensive). Without waiting any further, let’s learn about the Desi superfoods that you can add to your diet based on their affordability and availability. 
Everyday Nutritional Powerhouses: Here, we will talk about the superfoods that are not only affordable but also readily available in our households. 
Dal (lentils): Packed with some protein, fiber, and many essential minerals, dal is indeed a staple for a reason. You can explore diverse varieties like moong, masoor, tur, urad, and more for different nutritional benefits. 
Leafy Greens: Do not try to underestimate the power of palak (spinach), methi (fenugreek), and sarson (mustard greens). Not only are these loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, but they also boost your immunity in the chilling winter season. 
Seasonal Fruits: Embrace the abundance of papaya, bananas, guavas, and oranges to fuel your body with vitamins and natural sugars.
Spices: We might know them as spices that add flavor to our meals; spices such as turmeric, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers are more than just flavor enhancers. They are anti-inflammatory powerhouses with many health benefits, such as regulating blood pressure and playing a major role in the prevention and treatment of various cancer types. 
Yogurt: It is a natural source of probiotics for gut health, calcium for strong bones, and protein for muscle development. It can be consumed plain, flavored, or even with fruits. 
Nourishing Yet Special: This category will include superfoods that are not as easily found in households like the ones mentioned above, yet they are hidden gems that carry more nutrients than you can take. 
Millets: Ragi (finger millet), bajra (pearl millet), and jowar (sorghum) are some of the gluten-free grains that are rich in protein, fiber, and certain micronutrients. They’re most commonly used in rotis, dosas, or porridge.
Nuts & Seeds: Chia seeds, flaxseeds, and pumpkin seeds are packed with nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, essential minerals, and protein. You can soak them in water overnight before consuming them or directly sprinkle the seeds on your salads, yogurt, or porridge.
Amla (Indian Gooseberry): One of our top favorite superfoods, amla is a vitamin C powerhouse that boosts immunity, aids in digestion, and comes with anti-inflammatory properties. You can enjoy it raw, pickled, or in the form of juice.
Coconut: Another superfood like the Indian gooseberry, coconut water is the hub of electrolytes, while its flesh has healthy fats and fiber. While it grows in the south, coconut can be found easily in the northern regions of India. Although it is mostly consumed raw, coconut’s nectar and flesh also make it a key ingredient in various South Indian dishes. 
Jackfruit: This versatile vegetable can be enjoyed unripe or ripe. Ripe jackfruit offers antioxidants and vitamins, while unripe jackfruit provides a meaty texture in vegetarian dishes.
Exquisite and Rare Nutritional Delights: Last but not least, this category will take you through some of the rare, expensive superfoods that are worth every penny that you spend on them. 
Saffron: Found in the northernmost region of India, i.e., Kashmir, saffron adds a luxurious touch to many dishes and drinks while boasting anti-inflammatory and mood-boosting properties. Due to its scarcity, saffron is one of the most duplicated superfoods. Purchase saffron only from a reliable dealer. 
Black Rice: A nutty-flavored rice rich in antioxidants and fiber and known for its longevity-promoting properties.
Ashwagandha: This powerful herb is an adaptogen that helps the body manage stress and improve stamina.
In the big picture, embracing India's diverse superfoods offers a treasure trove of health benefits while remaining kind to your wallet. From readily available lentils and greens to hidden gems like millets and amla, these culinary powerhouses pack a punch of nutrients without the hefty price tag of imported trends. So, explore the vibrant flavors of India, nourish your body with local abundance, and discover that superfoods don't have to be exotic or expensive.

i saw your reblog of the kiss prompt!!
what about 7, an 'i've missed you' kiss for our lovely juli & agustín! one of them has returned after a week away for something (maybe agustín visited family?)
I... feel the urge to write this in first person... so here we go...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It would be today.
I knew it was today.
We'd planned on him coming home today.
Even though it was six o'clock in the morning, I still looked out the window of the kitchen that faced the road into town expecting to see him walking toward Casita.
Agustín's mother had received a letter from her sister-in-law in the city saying that her brother was ill and refused to see a doctor. Being the sweet and caring man that he was, not to mention a mamá's boy - which I loved about him - he went on the three-day trek to the city. I'd sent him with enough small snacks to last him the three days to get there, the two weeks they would spend in the city, and then the three days to get back to the Encanto. Knowing him, he would go through at least half of the supply, but then there would also be enough in case anyone else needed it.
I nearly jumped out of my skin when I felt a hand on my shoulder. "Geez, Mamá, I'm sorry." Mirabel retracted her hand and held both up in surrender.
"Ay, I didn't hear you come in," I wiped my hands on the rag hanging from my apron. My brow furrowed, "What are you doing up already?"
She placed her hands on her hips and raised an eyebrow, "I should be asking you that. It isn't your turn today." She wasn't wrong. It had been two years since Casita was rebuilt and everyone but myself was in agreement on a cooking schedule. Having been irritatingly outnumbered, I had no choice but to follow it. This day was Mirabel's turn.
I sighed, "I couldn't sleep, and I thought I would just come down and get a start on it."
Mirabel squinted her eyes at me suspiciously and stood up straighter. She'd grown in the past two years and was now at eye-level with me. "I'll let you stay on one condition. You don't touch anything. "
"Mira I-"
"Nope. It's either that or you can watch for Papá through a different window." She crossed her arms and I suddenly felt as though I was looking in a mirror.
I crossed my arms and raised an eyebrow at her, "Mirabel Valentina Rojas Madrigal."
"Julieta Ana Rojas Madrigal," she countered. My jaw dropped and the smug look on her face said it all.
"This is a little unnerving..." Luisa said from the doorway. It wasn't a surprise that she was up, she was probably coming back from one of her morning runs. "If Mira didn't have glasses, I'd say you had an identical twin, Mamá."
I didn’t look away from my youngest daughter, “Ay, a non-identical sister and brother are enough. Tu batido is already made, mija. I made sure to put guava for added protein.”
“Thanks, Mamá, but... isn’t it Mirabel’s day to cook?” Luisa went over to the counter and picked up the fruit mix. She hummed with satisfaction. Everyone in the house made great smoothies for her, but she always said that no one made them like I made them. ‘A mother’s love,’ is what I always told her.
“That’s what I’ve been saying,” Mirabel said to her sister. Turning to look at her, she was distracted long enough that I could move to the flattop and flip another arepa. “Mamá!”
“It was going to burn!”
“Get out!”
“Perdóneme?” I put a hand over my heart.
“You heard me. Out! Now!” she got behind me and actually started to push me toward the door. “Lu, help me!” 
Luisa sipped her smoothie, “No thanks. I choose life.” That’s my girl. Mirabel may have been most like me, but Luisa was all Agustín, through and through.
Mirabel actually managed to push me to the door, and Casita seemed to help. “Casita! E tu Brute?” A tile flipped in response as if agreeing with Mirabel. “I’ve been betrayed by my own house. This is my kitchen!”
“Mamá, we go through this at least once a month. When will you-” one final shove that got me through the door, “-get it!? There. Casita, you know the drill.” With those words, a door slammed in my face.
I huffed, knowing what I was about to say was far from a threat, “Young lady, you just wait until your Papá gets home!”
“What? Will I hug her to death?”
I spun around and any thought of literally being forced out of la cocina was gone from my mind. “Ay, amor,” I smiled and moved the few steps to throw my arms around Agustín’s neck, his arms fitting perfectly, as they always had, around my waist. I pressed a kiss to his lips, firm but gentle, longing but so familiar. We stayed that way for what could have been hours or seconds, we couldn’t tell.
When we finally parted, I stared into his eyes, his glasses set a little off center. I placed a hand on his cheek and ran my thumb over his skin, my eyebrows furrowed, “You’re skinny,” I complained.
His laugh was like the sound of a symphony, “Conejito, I’ve always been slim.”
“Sí, but you’re too skinny. Didn’t your Tia feed you?” I ran my hands down his arms and held his hands, looking him over. 
“She did,” he nodded, “But nothing compares to what you make for me.”
Grossed-out noises came from the kitchen. “You locked me out, now this is what you get.” I went to go kiss my husband again, but he put a hand up in front of me. 
“Allow me.” His voice was deep and he wiggled his eyebrows. Taking my chin between his forefinger and thumb he held my face as he kissed me. Then before I knew it, he’d picked me up in his arms, eliciting a squeal of surprise from me. He was always much stronger than he looked, and honestly not skinny at all... not when you got a good look at him... with no clothes on. “Vamos, amante, we have lost time to make up for,” he said before kissing me again.
Hacking noises came from the kitchen now. “You two are honestly so disgusting, sometimes,” Isabela said from the bottom of the stairs.
“Ah, I can’t help what your Mamá, brings out in me,” he said in response.
“Pa, gross,” Isa said.
“Maybe you’ll get another sibling?” he wiggled his eyebrows again.
A chorus of ‘Pa!’ ‘Eww, gross!’ ‘I’m honestly going to throw up!’
I raised my eyebrows, “I don’t know about that. We’re too old, Tïno.”
He laughed, “This family is full of the unexpected, Julieta.”
“Just go already!!” Isabela was shielding her eyes and not a second later, I was swept up the stairs and into our room. Safe to say I didn’t try to help with lunch or dinner that day...

This took forever, I’m so sorry! I have a few more of these asks in my inbox. I’m trying to work on them. Hope you enjoyed it.
