You rock my world

Since Joining Weight Watchers I have found some pretty amazing foods that rock my world. Some of them are nothing new, they've been around for quite some time, but they are new to me and I don't think I can ever go back to being oblivious about them. Some of them are quite simple but simple is good:

Broccoli- So simple, so filling. I absolutely adore broccoli. I would eat it everyday if my husband would too! one cup = 0 points. Zero. Zero is good. Actually any green vegetable is good for you to eat and most don't have any point value so stock up and always eat your veggies first-it'll fill you up before the main meal.

Bocca Burger- These make for a filling, quick and easy lunch. Pair with a low fat roll and you've got a meal that will last you all afternoon for very few points. 1 point but adding condiments and roll will add a few more.

Thomas's Healthy Start light multigrain english muffin- 1 point. Good for breakfast. Put a little spray butter or soy butter on and you have a filling low fat breakfast.

Soy butter- For someone with a peanut allergy soy butter is like heaven in a jar. I was using a low fat one witch was 2 TBS for 2 points but be careful, not all soy butter is created equal. I recently bought a different brand and discovered 2 TBS = 4 points! Yikes!

Black beans- I'm not a big bean person but I've recently discovered my love for black beans. They can go in everything and really are quite filling. Try making some black bean brownies for a fiber filled chocolaty treat!

Cabot 75% reduced fat Cheddar- I Looooooove cheese so giving it up is not an option, but this is something I can work with.

Spray butter- butter is great but I have a heavy hand so this little spray kind is easy to control the amount i'm using.

Egg beaters- substitute for eggs but well worth it and with the salmonella break out in eggs right now you may want to consider picking some up instead of your eggs.  1/2 cup = 1 point.

The laughing Cow cheese wedges- didn't I say I loved cheese? yes, here is another great cheese find. 1 wedge= 1 point.

Crystal Light- A zero point drink. Helps me to get all my water in for the day.

Turkey anything: turkey sausage, turkey bacon, ground turkey, turkey peperoni. Turkey is so good.

So there you have it. My list of must have power foods, but I also have some must have snacks that I will fill you in on tomorrow. You didn't think you were getting all my secrets in one post did you?
