Ruth from Perutbesi.com, I've recently discovered another place that serves healthy salad and wraps that are affordable, nutritious and wholesome!

As the dressings are made without any preservative, it can only be kept up to

Hot Wraps
For those who can't accept salad as a proper meal, SaladPlus Co also offers hot wraps which are freshly made upon ordering. The wraps are toasted to give it a slight crunch and a warm, toasty taste. SaladPlus Co uses Mission's Spinach wrap for all their hot wraps, hence the greenish hue of the wrap.

A well-balanced healthy rice dish packed with fibres, proteins, vitamins and nutrients. The chicken rendang was flavourful and aromatic, I did not even realize the absence of coconut milk in the chicken rendang until Diana pointed it out!
Non-Dairy Pumpkin Soup with Garlic Bread RM8.40(L) , RM5.20(S)
Pure roasted pumpkin puree soup, packed with sweet pumplin taste & seasoned with herbs and spices. Even without cream or dairy product in the soup,the soup has a thick and creamy consistency.

Healthy Desserts
I've always believed that "healthy" and "desserts" can never go together. However, the desserts served at SaladPlus Co proved me wrong! These delightful sweet treat at SaladPlus Co can curb those pesky sugary craving, minus the guilt!
Hot Peanut Butter, Jam, Banana Wrap RM7.30
The classic peanut butter, jam and banana sandwich, in the form of a hot wrap! Drizzled with chocolate sauce & topped with grounded nuts to give it an extra crunch.
I find the sweetness just right, a simple yet delightful dessert which leave little guilt!
Healthy Banana Split RM7.30
Friendly to the waistline and also wallet. Granola, sliced banana, greek yoghurt, chopped mango, apple and raisins.
A delightful medley of flavours and textures. The healthy banana split was simply splendid! The sweetness from the granola and juicy fruits balanced up perfectly with the greek yoghurt which leans towards the sourish side.
Healthy Yogurt with Granola RM 5.20
A simple yoghurt and granola dessert. Like the Healthy Banana Split, the greek yoghurt is inclined towards the sour side. The blueberry and mango preserve balances up the sourness well. I would prefer the Healthy Banana Split over the yoghurt desserts as I favor the extra crunch and texture.
Salad PlusCo also offers freshly brewed coffee to curb your caffeine cravings.
Verdict: Healthy, filling and wholesome wraps and salad. Don't forget to try their healthy selection of desserts too!
