What is needed:
1. Avocado x 1/2
2. Tomato x 1
3. Butterhead Lettuce x 1
4. Dragon Fruit x 1 (Optional)
5. Marigold non-fat Aloe Vera yogurt x 1
Wash and cut the fruits and vegetable and dump everything into a bowl, followed by the yogurt. Stir well and it’s ready to eat. It’s easy isn’t it ? The final product looks like this:
How does it look? It’s very tempting and I have had it for my dinner for 2 consecutive nights. Of course the main reason is that I used only half of the Avocado last night and I’ve got to finish off another half by tonight. Remember to use the wrapping paper to wrap up the unused portion of the Avocado up when you keep it in the fridge. Otherwise the surface will turn yellow. However you can just use a spoon to scrap off the surface. The inner part of it is still as fresh.
Avocado is very rich in Vit. E and mono-saturated fat. Vit. E is the essential vitamins for reconstructing damaged tissues and is especially good for the skin and hair... Mono-saturated fat is a kind of heart-friendly fat and can help to lower the unhealthy fats contents in our body. However, as I already have too much fats in my body (Healthy or not.. I just want no more fats!!!), I reduce the potion to use half of the Avocado only… For those who are lean, you may use the whole of the fruit for your salad.
As for the dressing, I am using the non-fat yogurt for the same reason: to reduce intake of fats as possible. However you may switch to use whatever salad dressing as you like… However I think the yogurt tastes better than any of the other types of dressing.. Hehe…
Cost wise it’s quite reasonable also. The Avocado costs me $1.40, tomato is about $0.15, the Butterhead Lettuce is 3 for $2.45 and I used one for the salad, so it’s about $0.80. And the yogurt is 2 for $1.85, so it’s about $0.90 for 1. So added up together, I have spent $3.25 for this meal. It’s about the same as a meal taken at the coffee shop or food court. But it’s much much much healthier and nutritious. And it’s nice to taste too… Just give it a try when you have time and hope you like it.....
By the way I must complain on something.. I bought the Green Tea flavoured NTUC brand soya milk.. It tastes so awful.. Although I am a green tea product lover.. But this is definitely an exception.. So please don't buy it unless you really like bitter soya milk....
