I was in the midst of prepping dinner tonight and thought about having some zucchini and summer squash to go with my steak tips....
So, I yanked out my spiral slicer and sliced up a PERFECT 12oz portion.
Per Calorieking.com: this is only 60 Calories, 11g of total carbohydrates, 4g fiber, 4g protein, 1g fat, and a WHOPPING 892g of potassium!
This plate is TOTALLY full. I prepped this for tomorrow's lunch with about 1TB of real butter, fresh garlic, sea salt, black pepper. Ill heat it up in the microwave as-is - where this contains its own water source, it will perfectly steam but still retain its 'bite'.
This is super filling for such a low calorie vegetable too, without hurting one's stomach at all!
Just thought it was fun to share! (Profile photo)

The only thing you will run into with it is 'what do you do with the core piece left?' - you simply add it to a soup, or munch on it! The only waste you have are the immediate ends you trim off to get started... you lose about 5% normally... the rest is completely usable!!!!
I love this damn toy! LOL!!!0
