David and I are getting sick of sandwiches for lunch.
I love taco salad and could eat it for every meal.
this week we decided to do Taco salad for lunch.
Nutritional and Cost highlights on this nutritious lunch!
- Total fiber for the whole meal......18g (an adult needs 20-35 grams a day, and usually only gets 10-15g)
- Total fat..........................................14.5g (3.5 from the Chili 5g from the wheat thins, 6g from corn chips) you need to consume less then 65g of fat a day
- Saturated fat..................................3g
- The ingredients all together cost about $17.00 (that's not including the fact that I will use a lot of the ingredients in other meals too).
- So each meal is about $1.70
- It provides enough for 10 Lunches. So five days worth for two!
David eats his lunch at school in between classes. I put everything for the saled in a big Tupperware then in a separate glass jar I put the chili so he can heat it up and pour on top of his salad.David doesn't like salad like at ALL but he loves this and expresses his gratitude for a yummy lunch. I really enjoyed it too. It was delicious and I felt so great after eating it.
So if you want to give it a try here are the ingredients:
- 2 bunches green leaf lettuce
- 2 bags Santitas Corn chips
- Pace Salsa
- 2-3 cans Nalley Turkey Chili (lots less fattening then regular)
- Fat free sour cream
- Green Onions
- 1 box Wheat Thins
- 4 ROMA tomatoes
- 10 pieces of fresh fruit. Apples and Pears both have 5g of fiber per piece of fruit. Buy what is on sale you can usually find apples for .89 a pound. If you want to save money then buy 5 oranges and have half an orange a day. (less fiber but still an ecellent serving of fruit!)
