Yogurt Parfait...

Hey Guys,

Sorry for the lack of posting yesterday! First things first, I promised you guys the recipe for the yogurt parfait. Although I use the same ingredients, I like to eat my "parfait" bowl style vs actual parfait style.

Here are the deets: 6oz. Greek yogurt 1c of raspberries 10 whole almonds (the recipe calls for 2TB of slivered, but I like the texture of whole almonds) Procedure: Layer this baby up parfait style. I added a TON of my favorite cinnamon to the yogurt. This got me thinkin...why don't they make a cinnamon flavored yogurt? Question of the day: What's your favorite type of yogurt to eat and how do you eat it? My answer: Chobani non fat with almond butter stirred in!

***Recipe Alert: PB&J- Done My Way***

Good Morning Guys, So you'll notice I have this PB&J -Done My Way often. First of all it's pretty quick to put together, second of all because of the berries, it is very antioxidant packed, and last but not least, you are getting the heart healthy fats from the PB. What more can you ask for?!? Here are the deets: Arnold's Sandwhich Thins 2 TEASPOONS of all natural Peanut Butter (I like Skippys Extra Chunky All Natural) 3-4 Blackberries Put the PB and Berries in a bowl, and smash the berries with the back of a spoon, and mix with the PB Spread on Arnold's Sandwhich Thins (this is even better when the bread is toasted :-) ) Total WW pts: 3 I hope you guys try this recipe out because it really is good! You can also use sliced strawberries or freshly mashed blueberries!

***B-Time***

Good Morning Ppls, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!! The weather was gorgeous in NY!! This morning for breakfast I had my Berry Olive Oil Smoothie...as usual, this was delicious!! What did you guys have for breakfast?

Berry Tastic Smoothie

Hey Ppls,

So, I have alot of people emailing me about my EVOO Berry Smoothie. I really suggest you try this smoothie because not only is it delicious, but it is so antioxidant packed and is loaded with omega 3 fatty acids! Also, believe me on this, the EVOO adds such a thich richness to this smoothie!

Here are the deets:

1 cup skim milk

1/2 cup Blackberries

1/2 cup strawberries

1 tsp. of EVOO

Blend all of ths in a blender. I do not even add ice because the smoothie gets so thick!

This smoothie ranks in at 4 points...awesome for an on the go breakfast!!

PS: You can really use any type of berries

PSS: Guys, I really think it's a good idea to invest in a good Extra Virgin Olive Oil..it seriously makes a difference! A little of the good stuff goes a long way. I use Carapelli, it's so deep, rich and fruity in flavor!

***Early Lunch***

Hey Guys, So I made myself an early lunch because I knew Iwould be out later on today, and could have my snack later on. Lunch today was a Berry Smoothie -yes another smoothie, but they are so quick, easy, healthy, and filling!! Here are the deets: 1 c. skim milk: 2 WW pts. 1 c. of berries (I used strawberries and blackberries): 1 WW pt. 1 tsp. of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (trust me on this): 1 WW pts. Blend all of this in a blender! This filling smoothy is only 4 WW pts.!!! Guys, I add the EVOO because first of all, one teaspoon is only 1 WW pt. Second of all it is loaded with heart healthy Omega 3 fats. Third of all, the fat from the EVOO paired up with the fiber from the berries is a great way to fill you up! So if you think about it, this one smoothie gives you heart healthy fats from the EVOO, cancer fighting antioxidants from the Berries, and Vit D and Calcium from the milk. Now, how awesome is that!!! What did you have for lunch?
