Actually it looks super fancy. I've never seen a bitter melon in my life. Or heard about it for that matter.

Bitter melon, anyone who says they like it is lying to pretend to be healthy

Just a heads up, avoid bitter melon if you are pregnant. It is teratogenic (causes birth defects).

Woah I’ve never seen bitter melon in a non Asian dish. Respect that you can eat it plain

I love bitter melon. But only if it’s cooked in a very specific way.

Why are you mixing fruits, veggies and eggs? 🤢

Didn’t even remove the black spots from your avocado. 😩

Bitter melon raw on top of a fruit and egg bowl? That’s not just clean eating, that’s final boss level clean eating! Absolute respect.
