0 Point Cauliflower Rice Taco Bowl

 0 Point Taco Bowl

All ingredients are zero points on the Purple Plan.

- 1 bag frozen riced cauliflower

- 4 frozen Tyson fajita strips

- 1/3 cup pinto beans

- 1/4 cup fat free cheddar

- 1 tbs taco seasoning

- Salsa

- Non fat greek yogurt as a sour cream substitute. 

- Hot sauce of choice. I used Taco Bell Fire Sauce for this bowl.

Directions:

Heat the chicken tenders in the air fryer at 400 for 6 minutes. Head the riced cauliflower in microwave according to the directions on the bag. Combine everything into a bowl and toss with taco seasoning. 

Super easy to make, all ingredients can be kept on had and it's also very customizable! Add in lettuce, switch to black beans, make it vegan with chickpeas instead of chicken, add some diced green chilis or roasted corn. Yum!

3 Point Burrito

 

3 Point Burrito on Purple

All points are zero unless noted.

- 1 Joesph's Lavash Bread (2 points for the whole thing)

- 1 slice Velveeta (1 point)

- 1/4 cup fat free cheddar cheese

- Hot sauce, I like to use either Tapatio, Taco Bell Fire, or Franks.

- Nonfat greek yogurt for a sour cream alternative

Filling:

- 1 can fat free refried beans

- 1 can chickpeas

- 1 can diced green chilis

- 1 tbs taco seasoning

Other add ins:

- Any leftover veggies you have on hand (in this burrito I used kale and leftover roasted veggies)

- Tyson frozen chicken

-  Brown rice

- Corn

- Cilantro

- Black or Pinto Beans

Combine the filling ingredients in a large bowl. Assemble and I usually just microwave everything, but if I add the frozen chicken I cook it in the air fryer at 400 for 6 minutes. This burrito is very simple to be made vegan! So I like to make my food crazy easy. I usually have the filling part on hand, and just add in whatever I have or feel like at the time. So easy but still low points! The whole burrito is actually very filling, so a lot of the time I just eat half and save the other half for later.

0 Point Edamame Teriyaki Peanut Noodles

 

0 Point Edamame Teriyaki Peanut Noodles

 

- 1 box Edamame Spaghetti

- 1 package frozen kale

- A few Tyson frozen chicken pieces. I only had fajita on hand and even though that doesn't sound like it would be good with the Asian flavors, it was still delicious.

For the sauce (this makes 1 serving if you like it a little extra saucy):

- 2 tbs sugar free teriyaki sauce. I use the G Hughes brand because it's easy to find around here, I get it at Walmart or Meijer

- 1/2 - 1 tbs Sriracha. I like it spicy, but you might need to use less.

- 2 tsp PB2

- 1 tsp Truvia brown sugar blend

- 1 tsp garlic powder

A few spritzes of I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray

Extras you can add on:

Chopped peanuts, hemp seeds, grated carrots and cucumbers, chopped nori.

Directions:

1) Cook noodles as directed on package. In the last 2 or 3 minutes, dump in the package of frozen kale. Drain.

2) While noodles are cooking combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl.

3) Combine sauce with about 2 cups of noodles. Store the rest for leftovers for the next few days :)

I also like to throw in any sort of leftover veggies I have on hand. In the picture below I tossed in leftover roasted carrots and broccoli.

Quick Breakfast Quesadilla. Purple Plan Update.

 

4 Point Breakfast Quesadilla

- 1 Ole Extreme Wellness High Fiber Tortilla. 1 point.

- 1 slice of Velveeta cheese. 1 point.

- 2 slices turkey bacon. 2 points.

- 1/4 cup fat free cheddar chceese. 0 points.

- 1 egg. 0 points.

- 2 tbs canned diced green chilis. 0 points.

- 1/4 cup pinto beans. 0 points.

- Diced onions. 0 points.

- Hot sauce. 0 points.

All points are based on WW Purple plan.

I like to use as less pans as possible, so I cook everything in one skillet. It takes longer but it's less dishes so it's worth it in my book. Cook up turkey bacon in a nonstick skillet until crispy...well as crispy as turkey bacon gets. Remove from skillet, and then scramble your egg. Add all ingredients to your tortilla and cook using some I Can't Believe It's Not Butter spray until lightly browned on each side. 

  So I finally am starting up WW again. Like I said in a previous post, I lost all motivation when quarantine started (and the stores were out of everything), then we bought our first home and went through all the moving shenanigans, then it was summer and the months have FLOWN by. I cannot believe we are almost in September. 

  I think I put back on 9 lbs that I had previously lost. Which sucks, but I know I can lose it again. I'm on day 2 now and it's much easier then it was when I started last December. I know what foods to have on hand, and I know what to make quickly. I'm completely fine with eating the same things over and over again, so I like to make big portions and eat it throughout the week. I don't know why but I really don't enjoy cooking just for myself. I love cooking for my family though....I just feel like "why bother?" when it's just for me. That's what I am working on changing though, I need to "bother" doing things for me. So along with WW I started up the Curly Girl method for my hair again. It's a lot of work so I had stopped caring before, but I realized I need to care for myself too. So here we are.

  I switched to the Purple plan because I like that it allows for a more whole food approach. The one thing I don't like about WW is that it kind of encourages low fat, processed diet foods. I was undecided if I wanted to start back up on WW, or start eating whole food plant based. WW is definitely easier, so I'll do my best to incorporate wfpb foods for health. 

  I'm also still trying to conceive, but I really do feel like it will be soon. :)
