Lightly boiled or steamed broccoli in a bowl (i filled the whole bowl, so almost a whole head of broccoli)
As soon as it's in the bowl, add a sachet of miso soup mix (the little sachets) but no extra water
Stir
Enjoy!

Of course you have to like broccoli! But if you do it's a really satisfying snack, and works out at just about 100 calories 😋

I bet it would be nice with a few chili flakes too

I did this today! Steamed a whole head of broccoli with some salt. Put it in a box to graze on over the next couple of days. Ate the lot :D

Fair point! 😂 but I really need a snack when I get in from work, and this really hits the spot

It's not a meal! I like to have more than 100 calories in my meals, and some protein!

Only if you don't like broccoli. Honestly, the miso makes it really satisfying

I do like broccoli as a side dish but really couldn't just eat an entire head of it

Or you could have a bag of crisps. And I say that as a broccoli fan.

A bag of skips is only about 75 calories. I'd rather have that

Is the sachet a powder or that gloopy paste stuff? My DH goes on health kicks periodically and always buys boxes and boxes of miso soup paste sachets that then sit and fester in the back of the cupboard.

It's the gloopy paste. Delicious it is too!

To those saying I could have a bag of crisps, I could, but then I find I am hungry again 10 minutes later. The broccoli is high volume, low calorie and has lots of nutrients (she says, sounding like a diet podcast 😂)
