Weight Watchers Smoothie Pancakes

I am a big fan of breakfast. And usually every morning, I wake up with my stomach growling and I am in need of a quick fix to settle the noise. While, I am trying to stay away from cereal because I find it doesn't fill me up as well as other breakfast items, I sometimes stand in my kitchen with no idea what to make, prolonging my stomach from getting the fix it needs.

Okay, wow, I was a little over dramatic with that sentence and holy run on with that also. So short and sweet, I get in a breakfast slump. This is why I love Instagram and blogs, Pinterest, basically anything social media, etc because I can search and find some inspiration.

When looking for breakfast, I love quick and easy, hence why I went on an overnight oats splurge for about a month awhile back.

Hmmm..I should really get back to that.

God, I am all over the place today.

SOooooo..back to my breakfast. I follow on Instagram and Bloglovin, Brooke:Not On A Diet, check her out at www.brookenotonadiet.com

She is such an inspiration to me in the Weight Watchers world. She has lost over 100 pounds following the program and now a WW leader. She is down to earth and a pretty awesome lady. She posted a couple of weeks ago about Smoothie Pancakes.

Get this made with 2 items!

LOVE!

The recipe calls for 1 WW smoothie packet and 1/3 cup of eggs whites. Mix together and then make into pancakes. It makes a pretty big pancake or I am sure you can make it into several mini ones. Take any smoothie packet mix to create an endless supply of decisions and flavors.

I remembered this recipe this morning and went to town with it. I was happy I had some smoothie mix laying around too.


Greek Yogurt and Honey Smoothie Packet for 2pp and 1/3 cup of All Whites Egg Whites for 1pp. I mixed in a bowl until smooth and then sprayed a pan with PAM and turned on Medium Heat. 

Disclaimer, I am the worst when it comes to flipping pancakes, but this morning I was determined.


Woohoo, finally a decent looking pancake!

Also note, the pancake will not have a cake like texture. It will have a fluffy egg white texture. But tastes just like a pancake. Surprisingly delicious! The smoothie packets are sold at WW locations and go for about 7.50 a box, with 5 packets in a box. I find that to be a bit expensive, so I wait for them to go on sale and then stock up. Now that I can make these with them, I will be doing this more often. Especially with the flavors such as, chocolate, vanilla, and coconut.

I paired my pancake with some sugar free syrup, heated up frozen blueberries, a Trader Joe's Mango Greek Yogurt and my coffee.


My whole meal came to 6pp and it was filling and the pancake can be qualified as simply filling since they are both a power food. WIN!

This is now one of my go to, fun, quick and different breakfast options.

So what is your favorite "new" breakfast meals??

Low Point Apple Crisp

Image
At my Weight Watchers meeting yesterday, my leader told me about a low point apple crisp and I couldn't resist making it today. I love apple crisp, I don't have it often or really at all, because it can be high in points and frankly I like low maintenance  baking, so when I can find something easy and quick and low in points, well I am all game!! This apple crisp is again so easy and quick, perfect for a craving, a family gathering, party or just to have around the house. Requires only 3 or 4 ingredients to prepare this and you might even have all of it in your house right now. Apple Crisp Serving Size 4 4pp for a serving 4-5 medium apples 2 packets of Cinnamon or Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal (preferably one that are 100-120 calories or 3pp) 8 oz of Diet Sprite or Diet 7up 5 sprays of Can't Believe It's Not Butter 1tsp of light brown sugar 8x8 baking pan Here is what I used: I actually used 5 apples because I

Perspective: My Trauma, Fear and Rejection

Well we have made it through another week of CoronaVirus, Stay Home, Social Distancing of 2020. I honestly have no clue what to call it, other than that. Today, has been 2 weeks since we closed BBW and shut down the store. Originally we had some high hopes we would have been open by yesterday, the mall sent an email saying they weren't going to open until the 19th, and then Pres. Trump extended the Social Distancing until the 30th. I honestly have no clue when I am going back to work. I am literally just trying to take it day by day and moment by moment, and week by week. I have been surviving and also Thriving during this process. I am a child of hard things. I have been through some tough shit in my day, and maybe I will get to that at some point, but we can save that for another post. Today the idea of Perspective is in my brain. If you don't know, which I am sure you do know if you follow along with me, but Rachel Hollis, whom is one of the many people I look

Let's Go To The Movies....And EAT at Cobb Theaters Tyrone

Image
As part of the Tampa Bay Bloggers, I was given access and a gift card to tour the new Cobb Theatre at the Tyrone Square Mall for social share and blog post, all opinions and reviews are my own. I have lived in the St. Petersburg Area for almost 7 years now and worked at the Tyrone Square Mall for 6.5. In those 6.5 years, I anxiously waited for the mall to get a movie theatre and the time has finally come and this is not just any run of the mill movie theatre, this one is luxury and spacious and a whole experience on its own. Nanci, over at This Crazy Life of Mine , also a Tampa Bay Blogger and more importantly one of my besties, and I have partnered with our blog post about the Cobb Experience. She was in attendance also and there is so much to tell you, we decided to break it up into TWO part posts, linking to the two of our blogs together. I am going to give you the details on the food experience at Cobb, believe me it is more than just soda, candy and popcorn and Nanci is going
