Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival for family reunion. In addition to appreciating the full moon, people always eat mooncakes to celebrate the occasion. Plus, they get together to eat barbecue. If they are not careful, they will consume too many calories, which will lead to the full moon and the "family" being happy too!

Traditional mooncakes can be divided into Taiwanese and Cantonese mooncakes. They are made from a lot of flour, refined sugar, oil, eggs and other ingredients. They are high-sugar, high-fat, and high-calorie snacks, among which Cantonese mooncakes have the highest calories! In addition to causing obesity, excessive consumption can also lead to problems such as high blood lipids and high blood sugar, affecting human health.

Get rid of the high-calorie traditional mooncakes and make your own low-calorie mooncakes, which are healthier

At the same time, you can also retain the feeling of Mid-Autumn Festival.

This time, dragon fruit was specially selected because it is a low-calorie, high-fiber fruit. Contains:

• Vitamin B complex

• Vitamin C

• anthocyanin

• Dietary fiber

• Potassium

In particular, the pectin contained in pitaya is a water-soluble dietary fiber that helps soften stool and prevent constipation. In addition, pectin can delay gastric emptying, increase satiety and bind bile acid, which is beneficial for weight control and lowering blood cholesterol.

In addition, the unique red color of pitaya comes from the "betacyanin" in the flesh, which is a natural pigment. It has beautiful color and can reduce the use of artificial colors, avoiding adding burden to the human body!
