***New Find: Smart Balance PB***

So, you all know I love peanut butter. Well, I discovered a better butter today. Yes, a PB by Smart Balance, and once again this is delicious. This is an all natural PB made with heart healthy oils, such as omega 3's from flaxseed! So, the stats for PB can be pretty high. This is 5 WW pts. for TWO tablespoons. Usually, when I eat my PB sandwhiches, I only use one tablespoon, so, your looking at 2.5 WW points. Lately for breakfast I've been having one tablespoon of Smart Balance PB, with sliced strawberries or mashed blackberries, on two slices of light beefsteak rye. This really does keep me full till my snack!

What I'm eating...

Hey Guys, In case you guys were wondering how my meals are going for the day, here's a bit of insight. I start my day with a glass of Smart Balance Skim Milk, which is only 2 WW pts. About an hour or so later, I'll have a yogurt for another 2 WW pts. Lunch is a delicious turkey ham sammie, here are the deets: 2 oz. of Jennie O Turkey Ham -2 WWpts. Lettuce, tomato -0 WW pts. 1/4 Avocado, sliced - 2 WW pts. 1 slice of light swiss cheese -1 WW pt. 2 slices of Beefsteak Light Rye - 1 WW pt. I then cut the sandwhich in half. I'll have one half with an apple or pear and I'll save the other half for later on in the day (A couple of hours later when I get hungry, I eat this). The whole sandwhich is 6 WW pts. Dinner is pretty different every night, depending on what I cook. I'll also wind up having a snack before dinner, like string cheese for 2 WW pts.

***B-Time***

Good Morning Everyone, Today for breakfast I had my Smart Balance Milk and half of a PB&J-done my way sammie. Total points 4. What did you guys have for 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 :-)
