RIght at this very moment I am eating a Cashew Protein Plus Boomi Bar. (www.boomibar.com)
It is very interesting. Taste like sweet cashew butter. Three ingredients: cashews, honey and whey protein Isolate.

How do you make roasted brussels???
Cut them in half, put them in a bowl with a bigt of evvo and spices...I also like to add a tsp of really good balsamic vinegar, and roast on 420 for about 20 minutes.0 -
High protein chocolate pudding!
A box of sugar free chocolate pudding
one cup of skim milk
one cup of water
one scoop of chocolate whey protein powder
It's nice to have a high protein dessert
I'm gonna try putting 2 or 3 scoops of protein next time.0 -
grilled portobello cap as a "burger." Now, it's no beefy burger, but it's a nice substitute that takes on any flavor that you choose to put on it. I basted with teriyaki and topped with a pineapple for a hawaiian portobello burger! And get this...the whole cap only had ~30 calories! BIG difference from the ~250 for the beef patty.
Portobello pizza.... yummy goodness!
I used a little bit of homemade sauce, sprinkling of mozzarella, parmesan, green peppers, and black olives. I really like it!
Your portabello pizza almost saved me last night!!! While grocery shopping, I have a BAD habit of tearing pieces of french bread of and eating it as I shop! I did that yesterday! So there went the carbs I was supposed to have in my penne last night! Then I thought of your idea!! I was thrilled!!!
In the end, it got to be late and I just made a salad. But thanks for the safety net of my carb addiction!!!0 -
Shirataki noodles!

I saw them on hungry-girl.com, and I was intrigued. I heated them up, and mixed them with 3 Laughing Cow Light Cheese wedges for 145 calories, and a very filling yummy lunch!0 -

Raw, whole kiwis with the skin on! Such a great snack. Don't know why I hadn't eaten them that way before.0

Okay this is not a new food as lots of you already know about the laughing cow spreadable cheese wedges. But I figured out that they are great for melting on other stuff. Melted one of the garlic & herb wedges over some spaghetti squash and it was great. Now I'm just thinking of all the stuff I can melt it on! lol Sure wish they made it in a cheddar lite flavor!0

Yogurt, granola and berries....YUM!!!0

Speaking of mini pizzas......
Joseph's Flax Oat Bran and Whole Wheat Pitas....60 calories each (so if you use half for a sandwich it's only 30!)
I use them as pizza crusts. a couple of spoonfuls of pizza sauce, low fat shredded mozzarella, and Hormel Turkey Pepperoni.
Kick-*kitten* little pizza that is only a little over 200 calories for the whole thing.
Even the bf loves them, we haven't ordered a pizza in a month.
I LOVE couscous, and have it 2-3 times a week.
Most recently, I discovered Peanut Butter & Co. brand peanut butters. They have flavors like "White Chocolate Wonderful" and "Dark Chocolate Dreams".
A tablespoon of dark chocolate dreams on a rice cake and my chocolate craving is MORE than satisfied!!!!0 -

laughing cow wedges in FRENCH ONION - didn't know they existed - yum
also, vanilla almond Luna bar - SOOOOOOO good0 -
I discovered Wheat Thins Flat Breads. They are like long crackers and 2 of them are 60 calories. They are yummy with laughing cow cheese.
I just tried Laughing Cow Cheese today and oh my gosh...so good. I put it on wheat saltines though I love Wheat Thins so I will have to try that next.
This is pretty simple but thanks to a suggestion on MFP I tried laughing cow swiss spread on my turkey and spinach sandwich on a sandwich thin- it takes care of my desire to have cheese and mayo! Only 50 calories-- and I hear there is a low fat version that is only 30 cals! I've been enjoying laughing cow on wheat thins for years and I'm so thankful I discovered this new use!0 -
I just started MFP this week!! Reading other posts I have found -
Western Bagel- at walmart 110 cal
Thomas thin bagel- at smiths (kroger) 110 cal
Thomas 100 calorie wheat english muffins
i made a 182 calorie egg mc muffin with 2 egg whites, 1/2 oz of cheese, and the 100 cal english muffin- was delicious!! the bagels with ff or light cream cheese are wonderful! And those fiber bars are good too!!0 -
I rediscovered Canadian bacon. 3 slices is about 60 calories and very tasty. I use the sandwich things, egg whites, Canadian bacon and some cheese to make a killer breakfast sandwich. I also use them on the sandwich thins when I make pizzas and any time we have "silly super" for dinner.0

Thanks for this!! I completely forgot about Canadian bacon! How is the sodium? Significantly less than regular or turkey bacon?0
