0 point plus dessert!
1 point plus veggie chili
This is one of my all time favorite recipes! It is hearty and tasty and LOW in points plus! It is 1 point for a whole cup and will totally carry you til your next meal (or at least till your next 0 point fruit/veggie snack)
1 zuchini
1 red pepper
1 squash
1 onion
saute with a little pam in own juices for 10 minutes
then add
1 can kidney beans
1 cup salsa (I like using peach or pineapple salsa)
1 tsp cumin
garlic salt simmer for 20 minutes. This is even better then next day! I like mine with a corn vitatop (for three points plus, worth it) or my favorite low point lemon corn bread which I will share with you in an upcoming post!
Johnson Juice
My kids love it too!
1 cup fresh pineapple
1 cup fresh pineapple
1 cup greek yogurt ( I like fage)
1 banana
1 cup fresh spinach
a handful of ice
splenda, truvea
a little water
1 tbls grapeseed oil (optional, add points if use)
Place all in blender ( or magic bullet)
Makes 3 smoothies for 1 point plus each! It's great on the new program because you don't have to count points for the fruit. It is soooo filling. It might sound kind of weird but it seriously is tasty and you don't even notice then spinach! Just trust me and try it! Thank you Hilary Johnson for this recipe!
