    A Fiberone bar. That's it. Well, and coffee.

    Trying to figure out how to do better when trying to get a 16 month old off to daycare, my wife leaves for work well before I do, and I have enough trouble getting to work on time as it is!!

    Could you make up a batch of smoothies (yogurt, low-fat milk, or soy or almond milk + fresh/frozen fruit) the night before and leave it in a pitcher in the fridge? Should be easy to calculate and use up quickly if you only make 2-3 servings at a time.

    I had a bowl of cherries for b-fast this morning, they were awesome!

    Is Trader Joe's a brand, or a store? It seems to be popular on this site.

    ZebraHead, that apple/peanut butter sounds delicious! Going to try it soon

    I'll try that.

    Today I actually had a Chobani 0% greek yogurt with some rice krispies in it for crunch - not the best cereal around (but not bad), but it's what I had on hand.

    And I feel full...

    It's a store that also has their own brand. They carry mostly their own brand of stuff but there are other brands also.

    Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

    1 banana, 1 low fat bio yogurt, 200ml semi skimmed milk, 2 tablespoons peanut butter

    507kcal
    53g carbs
    25g fat
    18g protein

    It was my first time making this and as i logged it after I drank it I found out too late about just how many calories are in peanut butter - I thought this amount would be fine. Oops! I cut back on my lunch though to compensate and I'll only use 1 tablespoon tomorrow!



    Hey I LOVE these and I make them whenever I crave something sweet and chocolate I use about one tblsp of PB but when I feel like I really want sweet I might use two, but keep in mind, it may be a lot of cal, but they are good cal bc of the PB, it contains good fats. So it is better to eat that than something else, I make mine with frozen banana, PB, honey,a dash of splenda, milk...yum!!

    I made up a recipe for healthy whole wheat banana muffins ( I just posted the recipe). I had one of the muffins with a cup of coffee with milk. I feel very satisfied. Usually I have oatmeal and applesauce or a brown rice cake with 1 TB. Adams natural peanut butter and a piece of fruit. Occasionally I have a scrambled egg with two eggs whites and turkey bacon for breakfast.

    It's a store that has their own brand and they generally have healthier versions of the prepackaged junk as well as organic/whole foods that may be hard to find in a regular grocery store.
