Fiber Filled, Protein Packed Breakfast

Good Morning Everyone, How are you all doing? Since it was a little chilly for me this morning, I decided to have a warm breakfast. I made a healthy fiber filled, protein packed breakfast of oatmeal. Here are the deets: 1/2 cup of oatmeal cooked in one cup of skim milk. 1/4c of fat free ricotta cheese stirred in 1TB. of chunky PB stirred in Cinnamon also stirred in My breakfast was quite high in point (7.5 to be exact), but ranked in at 380 calories., which will probably keep me full until lunch time - I hope. The good thing about this breafast is it's very nutritionally packed with fiber, protein and healthy fats. What did you guys have for breakfast?

Good Morning Everyone, This morning for breakfast I just had a glass of milk. Today seems like it will be a rushed day, so Ill probably reach for a snack in a bit. How was your breakfast?

***New Find: Smart Balance Fat-Free Milk***

You guys have probably noticed that I use a lot of skim milk. I primarily drink it for the calcium and vitamin D, but for a 2 pointer its really great to add into smoothies! So, I was in the grocery store this weekend and noticed a new brand of milk by Smart Balance. The milk is Fat-Free milk is fortified with omega 3 and vitamin E. The milk also has 30% more calcium and 30% more protein. Now, in my b-time post, I stated this was 'skim' milk because this 'skim' milk does have 1.5 grams of fat and this fat is added from the omega 3's. The points value for this milk is 3 WW pts. Now, regular skim milk is 2 WW pts. So, for an extra point, you get heart healthy omega 3 fats, 170% of Vitamin E, 25% of Vitamin D and 40% of Calcium. For just an extra point, I really think this is worth it for the nutritional values. Another plus about this milk, it really does taste rich and creamy and I think this can definitely be substituted for whole milk in recipes!!!

So, that's the 411 on this new 'skim' milk :-)

Good Morning Everyone,

I hope you all had a great weekend, and a wonderful breakfast by now :-) I had a glass of 'skim' milk...more on the 'skim' later, and turkey sausage links. A quick and hopefully filling 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?

Good Morning Ppls!!!

How are you doing? Since I am utterly devoted and completely honest to my readers...I will tell you what I had for breakfast. Before I do that, let me tell you how much I love Avocado. I love the butteriness, the earthy flavor, the way it enhances fruit as a salad. I love that it's loaded with heart healthy facts!

With this said...for breakfast I made myself an AVOCADO SMOOTHIE...and loved every sip of it!! Oh yes, this was so rich, thick, and filling. I know this may be awkward to some people, but as I like to say, to each his own :-)

Here are the deets on my delicious smoothie:

1 c. skim milk: 2 WW pts.

1/4 avocado: 2 WW pts.

Blend this in a blender.

Tip: The longer it blends the thicker it gets

That's it! I didn't even need ice since the milk was cold and my shake was getting thick.

Total points: 4!!!!

What did you guys have for breakfast?

Winding down the day...

Guys, I have two points for the day left, and this is usually how I like to spend them. I like to unwind with a glass of STEAMED SKIM milk (just nuke it the microwave for a minute and half or so), and a couple of drops of vanilla or hazlenut extract. This will sooo help you unwind your day... Enjoy! PS: 2 WW pts. :-)
