Get fit and eat lightly to enjoy the slimming vegetable cashew yogurt salad

Sitting in the office for a long time and eating snacks without restraint, I accidentally gained weight and couldn’t even fit into the fitted spring clothes. Nutritionists say that women who love beauty and want to eat low-calorie and burden-free food in the spring to maintain a slim figure can try eating yogurt with fruits and vegetables. Homemade vegetable cashew yogurt salad is recommended. One serving has only 100 to 120 calories. It is simple, convenient and healthy, especially suitable for people who eat out and lack fruits and vegetables for a long time.

Sun Yaqi, a nutritionist at the Ren'ai branch of Taipei City United Hospital, pointed out that making a vegetable cashew yogurt salad is very simple. All you need to do is prepare the ingredients in advance, make your own kiwi cashew yogurt dip, and put it in the refrigerator. When you want to eat it, you can eat it with freshly cut fruits and vegetables. Especially for office workers who sit in the office for a long time and often take out snacks and biscuits from time to time, and accidentally consume too many calories, vegetable cashew yogurt salad can serve as a snack substitute.

Nutritionist Sun Yaqi said that one serving of vegetable cashew yogurt salad has only 100 to 120 calories, and it makes good use of the beneficial bacteria in the yogurt, which acts like a body cleanser to help the body stay slim and healthy. Eating yogurt and fruit, two easily available ingredients, together not only reduces the sour taste of the yogurt, but also allows people who eat out to not worry about not eating enough fruit. In addition, cashews are nuts that contain calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, and vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, and are beneficial to the body.

[Ingredients]: Fruits and vegetables have multiple nutrients and are low in calories. Using dipping sauce instead of pouring sauce can help control weight. Ingredients include 26 grams of low-fat plain yogurt, 5 grams of cashews, 8 grams of golden kiwi, fresh vegetables (celery, cucumber, carrot) and fruits (apple, guava).

[Method]: First, blend kiwi, cashews and half of the low-fat yogurt in a blender, then take them out and mix with the other half of the yogurt (you can adjust the concentration according to your personal preference), wrap them in plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator; then wash the fresh fruits and vegetables, cut them into strips, and eat them with vegetable sticks dipped in the kiwi cashew yogurt sauce.

Tips

1. Vegetables and fruits of different colors contain a variety of rich vitamins and minerals, which are very helpful to the human body. For women who love beauty, they can maintain beautiful skin, reduce calorie intake and maintain a slim figure. It is recommended that when choosing fruits, you can also replace them with tomatoes or other fresh seasonal fruits according to your personal preference.

2. Cashews are nuts and oils that are rich in dietary fiber. They can increase the volume of food in the intestines and stomach, adding a sense of fullness. They can also promote gastrointestinal motility and relieve constipation. They can be paired with low-fat yogurt, which not only improves the flavor but also reduces calorie intake.
