A week or two ago a dear friend sent me a care package of Trader Joe's marshmallows, which are entirely corn free! No corn syrup! No cornstarch laden powdered sugar!

This afternoon, feeling incredibly groggy, I decided I needed a cup of my fancy cocoa (with half a scoop of protein powder), and instead of using sugar or honey, I would use a few of the marshmallows for sweetness. 

YES. This was a good idea. This helped stave off a mild panic attack because of my stupid brain deciding it wants to freak out over everything ever said to it. Cocoa and marshmallows made my brain be quiet. I need to remember this. Not the cocoa with protein powder, I've been doing that for a bit, but that 1) adding marshmallows is GOOOOOOD, and 2) maybe have this treat a bit more often because maybe it helps with the fucking anxiety.

So yeah. That's where I'm at right now.

Anxiety is a beast.
You deserve marshmallows

Ooooooh that's glorious!

ETA oh nuts, they're tapioca. Tapioca is worse than wheat for me when it comes to an immediate reaction. More for you, I guess!

Hooray for finding a treat that registers in your brain as a TREAT that brings you some peace. <3

Which protein powder are you using? I'm trying to get more protein into my diet, and a lot of them are just... no.

Also, hooray for treats!
