The Pizza Smoothie
Yes, you read that right: The Pizza Smoothie. Here at Teen Autism, we pride ourselves on being beyond innovative. We boldly eat what no one has eaten before. In this house, neither child has ever requested the typically well-loved staple, macaroni and cheese, for dinner. But a pizza smoothie? Bring it on.
I try to explain to Nigel that texture has quite a bit to do with why we like certain foods. Take away the texture, and that changes how we respond to a food. Appearance counts for a lot, too. Change the appearance and texture of a favorite food, and it might not be so appetizing.
But he’s adamant that - for him - it’s not about the texture or appearance. “It’s all about the taste,” he says.
And so, down the hatch it goes. He drinks the whole thing and claims to enjoy it. But, smile notwithstanding, I’m not so sure.
We’ll see what happens the next time we have pizza for dinner.

Oh my. That looks quite… terrible. And the smile may be a wee bit forced? But good for him for following through on his idea!

Just the headline on the post made me want to gag. Then to see it and see it being drank….yuck. I think I lost my appetite.
On the other hand. Your son is SOOOOO handsome. In the words of Mama on the Edge. Yum!
Not that I’m a sicko. I’m not really into teenage boys either. Yuck!

Bass-o-matic, anyone?
Love the shi- I mean, pizza-eating grin.

Hmmm, thats something to think about! Actually, was the smoothie HOT??? And did he add some sort of liquid to it to make it blend up better? I must ponder this. I think, if it was hot, it might actually be pretty good! I would just think of it as pizza soup, instead of a pizza smoothie!

Looks about as appetizing as my green smoothies, but I’m still not sold on the idea yet. :0) I’ll have the boys give it a go the next time pizza man knocks on our door!

Omg. I don’t know whether to laugh, or barf! Nigel has amazing fortitude.

Blech. Trying to ruin my lunch? That kid has fortitude, that’s for sure! He had the idea and followed through with it. Now that’s what makes great inventors.
And, oh, don’t you know about Pizza in a Cup (The Jerk by Steve Martin)?

No, no, no. So wrong on so many levels. I’ll pass on the pizza tonight…

Thank you (and Nigel) for making me laugh.

That is so gross!!! ugh. honestly I can’t even imagine drinking that…that smoothie is the wrong texture for me. We don’t do mac and cheese either, Daniel gags at the site of it!
November 5th, 2009 at 8:14 pm
Well. He’s adorable, even if his smootie is barf-a-licious.
November 8th, 2009 at 8:51 am
ewwww…but good for him for trying to test the boundaries of what is acceptable…and even ‘pretending’ to like it!
