Do you love lots of dressing on your salad? A look at the label will reveal two tablespoons can be up to 150 calories of fat, sodium & sugar. There's absolutely no nutritional value in it. The fat free or low fat alternatives aren't much better.
It's expensive, but often on sale for $2 a 16 oz. bottle or $6 for the 64 oz of Greggs Dressing. I'm on the war path to better health, though.
Here's how to get protein & calcium instead, with a fraction of the calories. Use cottage cheese! Yuk, my son-in-law & grandkids say! Try it, you might like it! Put a generous helping of plain old cottage cheese on your salad. It's delicious!
If that's not enough flavor, blend a 16 oz creamy Knudsons (or any kind) cottage cheese with 1/2 Hidden Valley Ranch packet and add 1 cup plain yogurt. It's better for us than the slimy alternative. Allan is on the band wagon with this one. Success!!
Now how do we replace chips, french fries & pop? We could just not buy them. Ouch!!
