Flat Belly Recipe: Hi-Pro, Low-Fat Baked Spuds


Did you know that one potato can make a complete nutritious and delectable meal?
Here's how (it's kind of like stone soup - just without the interesting story or moral about a community pitching in together.):

One Large Russet Potato
Butter
Trader Joes 2% Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup Broccoli Flowerets
Cheddar Cheese
Balsamic Vinaigrette Salad Dressing
Salt
Pepper

Scrub the skin and then microwave the potato for 10 minutes, then check to see if the middle is soft (try 15 minutes if you’re doing 2-4 potatoes)

If you like the skins toasty (I do), put it into a toaster oven at 450 for another 5 minutes or so. Drizzle some balsamic dressing on the broccoli and zap it in the microwave for about a minute, check and reheat until it is slightly soft but still crisp and a rich green color.

When the potato is done, cut it down the middle and mix in about a teaspoon of butter and the Greek yogurt. Lightly salt if you like and pepper to taste, then top with the broccoli. Grate a very thin layer (you should see more broccoli than cheese) of cheddar and zap in the microwave if you need to in order to melt it onto the broccoli.

Dig in!
