Hello probiotic

I felt like I needed some cleansing today and decided to go to Whole Foods for salad. I had too much fried rice yesterday for lunch & dinner.

I need some change. Off to WholeFoods I went and I got:

- mixed salad: kale with seaweed, cole slaw with vinagrette, cucumbers, olives, corn & peas. (all in small portions)

-roasted asparagus

-Mac & Cheese

-Kombucha tea

Total: $16

A little too much. I agree. I could have skipped on the mac&cheese. But I wanted to try it.

All in all- my lunch was so good. The asparagus was roasted perfectly and had a great crunch to it. It was smoky and savory. The mac&cheese was also really good. The cheese was thick but not too salty. There was also a crunchy top to the mac&cheese that added great texture. The salad was fantastic. The cole slaw had a tasty light dressing; that mixed with the kale, peas and corn made it much more heartier.

There are much more hot item section I want to try from Whole Foods like the snap pea salad, broccoli salad, pesto tofu salad and pizza. They passed out free slices of pizza for samples! I didn't try it because I wasn't smart enough to figure out they were sample until I saw a lady literally take the dish of pizza slices and passed them out to her school of children.

Now I have been waiting for a long time to try kombucha tea. Kombucha tea is a fermented tea that, according to the label on the jar, have '1 billion' good probiotic. I would agree because it's very tangy and have a sizzling type effect. I don't think this is really my thing. I thought it would be more smooth. You really are just drinking bacteria. If you really want probiotic, I would advice drinking lassi. It's so much more smoother and have a cooling effect on your body.

BTW: They have free wasabi packages and it is good! I suspect that these wasabi are fresh because it was fibrous. It was also really spicy- which I really like a lot! I am going to grab more wasabi next time I am there.

Lassi is easy to make: 2 spoonfuls of plain unsweeten yogurt/ 1 teaspoon of salt/ dash of pepper/ 1 cup of water. Mix, stir, & enjoy. You can also add cilantro, peppers or wasabi to give it a different taste.
