Can we have Beetroot?

[sarahskg]

Does anybody know if beetroot is allowed, would love to have it in my salad, or if anybody has any ideas to make salads more interesting would be great.

Thanks

I think it's quite high in sugars/carbs and it's not on the allowed veggies list so I'm thinking it's probably not allowed.

No beetroot I'm afraid. I make my salads up with watercress, spinach, spring onions, pepper, raw cauliflower, raw brocolli, radishes etc. I also use a dressing (although not strictly on plan I kepp an eye on totals in MFP tp make sure I'm ok. I love my salads!

Thanks, which dressing do you use? I am finding my salads a bit dry and wanted to be able to make them more interesting, thanks. (Shame about beetroot, I love it

I use Frylight Caesar Dressing...yummy! They also do a Balsamic Dressing too. I think it's only 1 calorie per spray

To make my salads more interesting I use spinach and rocket along with a variety of green leaves and add herbs by changing the herbs it makes it less samey and boring

Where do you find those maka I have looked everywhere!!

I usually do a salad with some cooked greens added - cooled down and well seasoned. Often do with tuna and runny egg yum.

Pretty much don't mind them dry anymore, but majority of the time I have them with a mealpack.

I'm currently living in Oman hun, so not sure where you'd get them in the UK. I assumed you'd get them off the shelf in ASDA, Sainsburys etc (???)

Maybe ask where to get it in a new thread? because I definitely know that I'm not the only one who uses it. Just can't remember who else does though x
