He gets most of his calorie intake from liquids. Soups, juices, smoothies. He does eat his fair share of solid foods—A lot of his favorites and every variety of dish imaginable, but he always comes back to liquids because they’re easy to consume and passively sip. Protein shakes are a pretty big one, but he usually sips on juices throughout the day.

His guilty pleasure drink is… drumroll please!

Water.

Which surprises Bruce when Barry’s over at the manor one day. Why water when he can have anything that he wants?

Barry does have a favorite drink, it’s something else, but a guilty pleasure? It’s always going to be water.

He explains that with his powers he needs to consume an ungodly amount of sustenance, that every calorie matters. To maximize efficiency he needs to consume an incredible portion of food at every meal and snack in between to keep up with his metabolism.

Water doesn’t have calories, it would hydrate him, but then Barry would still need to keep in mind consuming other things. A bottle of apple juice or an entire watermelon could easily double as both calories and hydration. Sometimes it’s just easier that way. And sometimes he just wants a drink of water. The sweet sweet taste of water at three in the morning, or a chilled glass of water after a hot day in the city.

- Has a very active imagination and very vivid dreams. Keeps a sleep diary because some of these dreams are… intense

- Hates breakfast sandwiches but loves each component separately. Would rather eat a heartier “lunch” sandwich for breakfast than a classic sausage, egg, and cheese

- Prefers savory > sweet breakfast options, but won’t say no to a free donut or freshly baked muffin

- Likes jelly filled donuts

- French toast > waffles or pancakes

- Likes raspberries

- Has a thing for sun-dried tomatoes (that plus pesto plus fresh mozzarella? heaven)

- Has cold extremities tho his torso is pretty warm from all the running
