You Can Thank Me Later Because Cilantro Avocado Yogurt Dressing Will Change Your Diet And Life

If the headline didn't give it away, I'm stoked about this Cilantro Avocado Yogurt Dressing from Bolthouse Farms!

Here's why:

If you've been to Pollo Tropical before, it's highly likely that you asked for cilantro garlic sauce to fulfill your order. And, if you haven't, then I can sincerely tell you that you're missing out. Their cilantro garlic sauce is a creamy dressing that should be poured generously over your TropiChop Bowl or salad and used as a dipping sauce for your fried yuca.

Unfortunately, this yummy sauce isn't the most favorable when it comes to healthy eating. But don't fret, I'm here to introduce you to my new holy grail: Bolthouse Farms' Cilantro Avocado Yogurt Dressing.

This yogurt-based dressing is a healthier alternative to Pollo Tropical's cilantro garlic sauce as it has no artificial flavors and no artificial preservatives. If you aren't sold yet, let's talk about the substantial difference in calories and fat between these two sauces. The yogurt dressing has 40 calories per serving and 3.5g of Total Fat. On the other hand, Pollo Tropical's infamous Cilantro Garlic sauce has 160 calories per serving with a hefty 17g of Total Fat. I AM SHOOK.

What I enjoy most about this cilantro avocado dressing is that it works well with a variety of dishes. I enjoy it drizzled on top of my sautéed chicken or steak, as a savory dressing on homemade salads, and even as a dipping sauce for carrots or broccoli.

I have yet to entertain my taste buds with the other 12 yogurt dressings that Bolthouse Farms offers, but the mango chipotle and honey mustard yogurt dressings will surely be in my next grocery haul!

On a serious note:

As a fitness junkie and health coach, I'm all about healthy alternatives - if you couldn't tell by my enthusiasm for this yogurt dressing. I believe in living a healthy lifestyle and, in order to do so, I aim to create healthy habits. By building small disciplines to replace unhealthy habits, I've been able to achieve sustainable results for my health and physique. Trust me, with this strategy, it's possible for anyone to make a positive change in their health. I encourage you to start small - practice eliminating one of your poor habits by replacing it with a new choice that will contribute to a better you. For example, instead of stocking up on loads of unhealthy snacks, start purchasing some fruits & veggies. Preparation is key for staying on track; so, if you have healthy options readily available when those cravings kick in, you will be prepared and empowered to stay in line with your goals. If this sounds too simple, well, that's because it is really this simple. Don't make things harder for yourself than they actually are - eliminate those distractions and excuses that keep prohibiting you from achieving your goals.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
