One of the best things about losing weight (and enjoying the process!) is cooking! I could pretty much live on this meal, and I just devoured this bowl of it for my lunch!
Salad;
1 little gem lettuce
1 ripe tomato
2 large slices red onion
1/4 red pepper
1/4 green pepper
1/2 small avocado
2tbsp Tesco Light Choices French Dressing
1 small sweet potato (±135g), boiled for 5min, drained, roasted with 1cal spray, s&p and oregano on 250 degrees (celsius) for 15-20min - I like it at the point where the edges are really chewy and sweet and the middles are fluffy!
Best part;
Calories - 290
Carbs - 41g
Fat - 15g (those awesome fats you get in avocado!)
Protein - 5g
I love this meal - sweet potato fills me up amazingly but it isn't at all starchy like most other carbs, meaning your body breaks it down better and you never feel bloated. Superfood! Hope you like it.

Not at all, it wasn't that long ago I'd never tried it either! Some people are put off by the look/texture, but I find it to be a really clean, rich tasting veg. Definitely right up there amongst my favourite vegetables!0 -

Wonderful, just been and purchased all ingredients! :happy:0 -
Yum - adding the ingredients to my list! I've been looking for a way to work avocado into something! Thanks0

Hope you like it! A bit of sour cream on it would go down a treat, but I went for the healthier french dressing. But if you're feeling crazy0

This looks really awesome! I've also never tried avacodos, as someone else mentioned. But it sure looks good. I'll have to try it sometime.0
-
that sounds really good0

What's gem lettuce? This looks delicious. Definately going to try it.0
-
Ohhh that looks awesome. Why have I not thought about adding sweet potato to a salad before? Genius!0
-
Damn! That is definitely being added to my food list! What a fantastic combo ... very colourful as well.
I like rosemary on my roasted sweet potatoes with a tiny splash of balsamic vinegar as they come out of the oven. Try it ... you might like it. :happy:
... and Congratulations on your wonderful weight loss!!!0 -
