Remember that slime show on Nickelodeon?
It was called “You Can’t Do That on Television.”
Side note: did you know Nickelodeon is recognized by spell check?
The contestants would have complete some challenge and if they failed, they got “slimed.” According to Nickipedia, the slime consisted of “green gelatin and cream of wheat, and/or oatmeal.”
I wanted to be on that show so bad it hurt. Probably more so because my parents wouldn’t even let me watch it. Max + Lynda = most strict parents in the world. Not that I’m bitter. 😉
Moving on to MY green slime…
Usually after a weight workout I have a green protein smoothie. However, I had to run out to my car and by the time I got back I was far too cold for a cold drink. Protein sauce seemed like the perfect solution.
Admittedly, this may be the weirdest thing I’ve ever posted about eating. It kind of looked like Nickelodeon’s slime, but it was pretty tasty! Especially with the blueberry “syrup.”
As a sad, waffle maker-less soul, I have become a fan of Van’s Waffles. The blueberry flavor is good without packing a ton of sugar, and they offer whole grain, organic, and gluten-free varieties. If you pop them in the oven on broil for 1-2 mins on each side, they come out nice and crispy.
The blended protein powder (I used Sun Warrior Vanilla) with spinach and a little almond milk only took a second, and I used my “lazy” technique to the get blueberry syrup in 30 seconds. (1/2 C blueberries + 3-4 drops liquid stevia in a bowl and microwaved for 30-40 secs).
The topping is on the thick side – I like an “icing” topping. If you prefer a syrup-y consistency, just thin it out with more milk.
Delicious and nutritious – not only will this entertain small children who like slime, but it will also keep you full until lunch!

Green Blueberry Protein Icing
- 1 C spinach
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1/4-1/3 C unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tsp maca (optional)
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1/4 tsp butter extract (optional)
- 5-6 drops liquid stevia (more if you like sweeter)
- 1/2 C blueberries
Combine everything except blueberries in blender (I used my Magic Bullet). Blend until smooth.
Meanwhile, place blueberries in small bowl and microwave for 30-40 seconds, until beginning to burst and become “juicy.”
Pour the juice and some of the blueberries into the blender with green mix and blend again.
Spread sauce on top of waffle/pancake/muffin/etc, finishing with remaining warmed blueberry sauce.
Creep out everyone around you with your odd breakfast creation.

Another point for green: it photographs so much better than brown.
Was there a game show you wished you could be on?
What’s the weirdest food/creation you eat?
this actually looks like it’d be quite fun to eat! yay for slime!!
My inner 12 year old boy was thrilled. 🙂
I loved that show – I wasn’t allowed to watch Ren & Stimpy!
Now, I always wanted to be on Legends of the Hidden Temple – I could definitely put together the silver monkey faster than any of those goons! 😉
Mine wouldn’t let me watch that either! My mom still can’t tell me why…
Uhmmm. It looks… interesting? 😉
I bet it tastes a lot better than it looked, judging from the ingredients, but yeah… maybe this would be a good post for Halloween 😉
MEMORIES! I totally remember that show! But I doubt their slime was as tasty as yours! 😀
I always wanted to be on Hidden Temple. Slime isn’t my thing. Well… unless it’s not only edible but delicious. Your breakfast actually does look delicious, so I’m cool with that.
I LOVED that show – it did look like fun! Do you remember Hey Dude? 🙂
OMG – I forgot about Hey Dude! Love that one. And Clarissa Explains it All.
Yes – loved Clarissa!! =)
Truly interesting looking but the ingredients definitely suggest something tasty. The photo is visually really cool.
I really wanted to be on Double Dare because I wanted to go through the obstacle course. I guess kids like slime.
Ohhhh… that’s a good one. I can’t believe I forgot about all these.
Nickelodeon is recognized by spell check? Now, that’s funny. I definitely prefer your version of slime 🙂 and this is one of the most creative recipes I’ve seen in a long time Laura. Great idea!
Thank you! It was certainly fun to eat. 🙂
I can see this being a HIT with kids! And I’ve always wanted to be on the Price is Right and Wheel of Fortune…even when I was a kid!
I always have Vans waffles in my freezer! They’re a great pre-run with almond butter + banana!
I think this is a genius idea. We should all get used to eating more green anyway, even if it does resemble a certain popular tv show novelty. I totally loved You Can’t Do That on Television too.
Eeek! I definitely remember that Nickelodeon show. Bleh. Your creation looks much tastier 🙂
I love a good wholesome waffle! The blueberry sauce looks so easy and good!
It is! You can do it with any berry – blackberries are my favorite so far.
Girl you crazy. This is awesome!
It’s so strange-looking, yet oddly compelling at the same time.
Best description ever. I wish I’d thought of it for the title to this post!
I LOVED that show! I love you more with that green creation on your eats! I’m all about the weird sauces on top of my eats. Chia really does look like something from the sea, but I can’t get enough of it!
What Nickelodeon show didn’t involve slime?! I love your version! I’m a waffle maker-less girl too and manage to eat my body weight in pancakes instead. This would make a fantastic topping for them as well, I’d imagine!
Thank you! That’s what I had this morning, actually. It was great with PB pancakes!
The greener the better! It would be a fun St. Patty’s day breakfast!!
For sure! Nice and hearty to combat the green beers! 🙂
Hi Laura! I think that looks great! I love shortcuts and recipes that are adaptable to the situation, tastebuds, what’s in the pantry and, in your case of course, weather! Blueberry “syrup” sounds good too – might use that one day!
Thank you! I do that style of “syrup” all the time – it works with any berry. It’s so quick and easy, and tastes better than the bottled stuff!
I’m a sad, waffle maker-less soul too so I might have to go out and pick up some Van’s Waffles because this sounds really, really good!
As a side note- I wasn’t allowed to watch that show either but I totally snuck in episodes at my friends house.
Sometimes it helps to actually fill out the spaces when leaving a comment….although I rather like the mystery of being the “anonymous” commenter… happy weekend!
Haha! I love the mystique. 🙂
I snuck and watched everything at friends’ houses – Roseanne, 90210, Saved by the Bell…
I LOVE Van’s gluten-free waffles – I just wish they had more fiber! I think I actually want them for dinner (instead of breakfast, where I focus on getting a ton of fiber)!
This is awesome! Not only cause it sounds delicious..but I love the reference to Nickelodeon. Good times. 🙂
Oh man, I love the references to the old Nick shows. They were so much better than what is on nowadays! And this green protein icings sounds like it would be great on a number of things!
I bet this tastes waaaaaay better than it looks! Protein icing sounds interesting.
Are you saying green slime doesn’t look appealing to eat?! 😉
haha this is exactly the kind of thing I’d be making….love it!!!!!!!!
Thank you! It was a fun breakfast. 🙂
I used to love You Can’t Do That on Television, that and Double Dare (the original).
Not sure that I could eat that slime though. 😉
Oh Glut, you could totally eat slime! It’s pretty awesome stuff… pairs well with a Bloody. 😉
Well since you say I can have it with a Bloody….then ok, 🙂
I love Van’s waffles! This looks like fun to eat! I just bought a big container of spinach! Yay for green goodness or slime! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
I actually got slimed @ Nickelodeon @ Universal Studios…super gross…it was clumpy and smelled like applesauce (I assume it was just dyed sauce). I will be trying this! Thanks!
Is it weird that I’m really jealous of that? 🙂
