That looks like one yummy salad! π Hmmm.... a bit too rainy/miserable for today over here but I see possibilities and it sure looks like an interesting combination!π€
If I were at home (at a lark I will assume you were at work at the hospital) I would personally bulk it up with pure bunnies to increase the bunnies to bunny surrounds ratio π but yummy for the tummy it sure looks!
I don't think we have either of the two franchises up north

My therapist who I see for binge eating and other food related issues suggested that I make a big veggie tray every week so I have something I can snack on. So that is what I started to do this week (I was on vacation last week) and so far it has been really helpful. I was feeling snacky about 2pm yesterday so I pulled it out and just nibbled until I wasn't hungry any more. I do add a piece of cheese as well for a tad bit of protein, but it's mostly the veggies. This week I have mini peppers, baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, and sugar snap peas.
So add that to the banana in my oatmeal, the broccoli and sweet potato in my lunch, and the mixed veggies in my dinner and you have a lot a bunnies.

Great idea Athijade! Iβm going to chop up some veggies too

Well. Green Giant California Mix, Japanese veggie mix, and green and yellow wax beans and carrots were on sale in 500g bags. (Of course they also had other mixes in 400g bags for the same price π‘, and plain broccoli or green beans in 500g bags that I also passed on as I like pretty colors π€£)
Two for $5 of our dollars ($3.58 or so down south). Plus first Tuesday of the month so an extra 10% offβ¦..
I am now the proud owner of 24 x 500g veggies baggies @ US $1.61 per baggie.... hopefully will help keep me in bunnies till the end of the month!!!!π

Where does one STORE 24 bags of frozen veggies? Wowsers! Of course I havenβt seen the back of my freezer in years - heaven knows what sales bargains hubby is hiding in there. π

The freezer?π€― Where else do Texans store frozen stuff???π€·ββοΈ I've got a fridge format upright freezer I bought a few years back and placed in the storage room downstairs! Not as convenient... but extra steps!ππ€£

And, by the way, this is what I call "the Holy Grail": something that is enjoyable and fills me up disproportionately well for the calories spent on it! Simply AWESOME!π

Freezer! I have one of those in the laundry room. Over six feet tall and large enough to stash two full grown dead bodies! Nicknamed the JUMBOTRONβ¦β¦β¦. Hubby doesnβt play around when it comes to preserving his frozen grocery bargains.

@Athijade - glad the veg tray helped.
Fwiw, found I like to dip the vegs in salsa too at times. Initially was a ranch or sourcream with the salsa creamy type for dipping⦠Later, started keepin saute or smoke grilled veg (stick-) rough chopped/blended to use as a dip too (as a salsa alternative).
I had developed a strong aversion to 'diet foods' out of yoyo history and developed a strong preference to graze sweets...
Upshot - treating the veg platter as kind of an incredible charcuterie helped me embrace the veg tray on hand in lieu of the 'raid the sweets"

Now let's imagine me weaning myself from candy bars and chocolate.... π«©π§π²

@Athijade - glad you went with the veggie tray, greaet way to keep yourself on track! I'm planning an 800 mile road trip to Nashville soon, and will stock up on veggies for car snacking.
yakkystuff - I like using salsa as well - we are in Texas afterall! I use this as my salad dressing a lot of times, either on it's own or mixed with nonfat Greek yogurt to make it creamy. We have a TexMex place here called Gringos. I like to get their Cobb salad with 'red sauce' as the salad dressing - basically red salsa.

Am I hearing an offer of mixing greek yogurt into salsa?
I tried that once! It ended up TERRIBLY BAD!!!!!
The issue was NOT the yogurt, OR the salsaβ¦..
β¦β¦ the issue was the 1100Cal worth of crackers that transported the mess from bowl to mouth!π

Crackers???
Lol
Vegs r da conveyor ;)
Salsa as salad dressing, I can see that, yum!

My 440g cucumber run out⦠and I had to move to plan B. Plan B sucked! Should have quit while I was ahead with Plan A!
Obligatory :lol: that is more like π£ππ0 -
Aah, gotchya...
Other interesting sticks/rounds or wedges I like - radish (peppery), zukes/summer yellow squash - innocuous, cabbage/greens raw to wrap similar to veggie sushi or spring roll in lieu of deep fried wraps.
Remain lifetime fatigued over celery & carrot sticks but can include as part of variety.
People get so beautifully creative with wraps, mine are not. They dip fine in salsa though ;)
Picked up a purple cabbage - would be pretty.

purple cabbage should be niceβ¦. I guess lettuce wrap is a thing too! As is cabbage wrap!

Had tomato soup myself a couple of days back!
Not sure where seaweed falls!!!
Opened up an 880 G container of "gourmet"! seaweed salad that claims to be 880 calories! Have consumed 271g so far!
Plus 195g cucumbers. Plus 303g green and red grapes!
I guess nine bunnies without or ten bunnies with the 100g of black olives that went with the cucumbers!!!!

Hey, seaweed should count! It's very healthy for you and low cal. I like the seaweed snack packs for a crunchy/salty snack - only 35 calories.
1 -
I like to crumble the seaweed sheets into soups & stirfries and as a topper on salads & veggies. Adds flavor & a hint of salt for sure. Yum! Time to restock.
1 -
I've brought the little sheets before! They even have rolls with extra extra spices (almost pepperoni stick sized).
This is "fresh" seaweed. The calories are in the dressing, of course

There was shredded zucchini in my chocolate protein muffins I had for breakfast, then I ate a sweetango apple when I got home from work, with a serving of Pb2 reconstituted with 1 pump each of SF salted caramel and SF brown sugar cinnamon syrups. Dinner later has red and yellow peppers, onion and shishito peppers.

All I got so far is green giant asparagus, roasted potatoes and onions 300g.... and a 500g mini tub of butternut squash soup from the supermarket. The soup got to have SOME bunnies!π€·ββοΈ
The cocoa bunnies are annoying me π‘
Looks like we have a new wave of shrinkflation which may end up with a silver lining.
Noticed that "full size" candy bars just got a hair cut. Wubderbar package at 49g 250Cal instead of previous 300Cal. (Contents were 53.5 actual) Could have sworn that Cadbury dairy Milk fruit and nut were more than 38g (today's was 37.4; yesterday's 39.1). Looks like Mondelez is leading the shrinkage! (Oh Henry, not on sale, is still 58g on the shelf)π€·ββοΈ

PAV - you know waaaay too much about chocolate and candy bars! Iβm choosing ignorance and avoidance.
