My Favorite 5-minute Meal - Only 267 Calories!

Last night I made dinner in five minutes, loaded up on nutrients, and consumed only 267 calories! Here's how I did it:

1.) I scooped out a half cup of spinach salad I'd tossed up a few days ago, topped it with sliced roasted beets I'd prepared on Sunday, and dressed it with Bragg's Organic Hawaiian Fat Free Dressing & Marinade (more on this stuff tomorrow!)
2.) I soaked a sweet potato in hydrogen peroxide for a minute to get all the grit and grime off; then dried it, poked it a few times with a fork, and put it in the microwave for 4 minutes.
3.) I grabbed a slice of tofu that I'd blotted dry earlier today and spooned on some fresh heirloom tomato pico de gallo I'd made on Sunday
4.) I cut open the cooked sweet potato and put a spoonful of the pico de gallo on that, too.

Tada! Dinner! So fresh, so easy, and not a calorie wasted. Everything I ate was utterly nutritious, not to mention downright tasty. Think about it - sweet potatoes, spinach and beets are all considered super foods.

And see for yourself - here's the nutrition in formation from my dinner: 
267 calories, 4 g fat, 12 g protein, 43 mg sodium, 39 g carbs, 7 g fiber, 24 g sugar, 0 mg cholesterol


And here's what each food brings to my table:
