SUPERFOODS FOR DUMMIES

Okay guys, it has to stop now. If you want to join the hype, at least make sure your pronunciation is correct. If you order an açai bowl (which is actually so 2015 anyway, but I still order it weekly), at least order an aa-saa-jie bowl and not an a-kai bowl.

I can hear you laughing now, but I have a few more. Are you already practicing?

  1. At number one, of course, is the kien-waa. Yes, you read that right. KIEN-WAA. Not KIE-NOO-WAA and also not KIE-A-NOO-AA. Clear?
  2. Turmeric, you’re being bombarded with it. Recently, our Marion told us how good KOER-KOE-MAA is for us. But why do we make it so difficult for ourselves? Yellow root, just nice and simple Dutch style.
  3. Maca. Ma-ka, that powder that gives us a boost of energy and balances our hormones.
  4. Edamame beans. EE-DAA-MA-MEE beans, or just soybeans of course.
  5. Then the goji. The GOO-JIE berry, I’ve never really seen the point of it.
  6. Chia. TSJIE-JAA, those seeds that you can never get out from between your teeth. Really annoying, those things.
  7. HU-MUS or is it HOE-MOES? Well… I’ll just throw that into the group here.
  8. Bircher muesli. That’s what I love to have for breakfast. So BUR-TSJUR muesli.
  9. Macadamia nuts. Those are really my absolute favorites, those MAA-KAA-DEE-MIE-JANOTEN. Also the fattiest, but well. Healthy fats at least.
  10. Got a runny nose? Run to Etos for a tube of Oscillococcinum – OS-KIE-LOO-KOK-SIE-NUM, yes. You’ll definitely score points during a game of Scrabble with that.

It can always be worse, of course. Once, in my previous life, someone ordered a LAA-TE MAT-SJE-TOO from me at the bar, and not even with right-turned unsweetened almond milk, extra hot and with a pinch of cinnamon.

Guys, that just can’t be…
