Breakfast Pot

I love, love, let me repeat LOVE breakfast! I made some Stevia in the Raw sweetened Oats topped with Think Fruit dried Fruit Snacks in none other than Blueberry. To get a blueberry muffin oat effect I added just a touch of vanilla. Delish! Here is how you can do it!

Boil 1 cup water
Add ½ cup oats
While water is absorbing stir in the oats, while those are cooking add a few packets Stevia in the Raw—stirring frequently. Add in a touch of vanilla (love Watkin’s). At the end I like to throw in a ½ cup egg whites but this is up to you. Then I just cook a bit longer. You an always increase the water a bit and use protein powder instead. At the end of the cooking add in Think Fruit of your choice (comes in an array of delectable flavors) and enjoy. This is a great AM breakfast treat.

Susta!

There are so many sweeteners out there and trust me, I have tried them all. I like things sweet, I mean really sweet. My motto is “the sweeter the better”! So rarely do I use just regular pure sugar… I would have to use a ton of it and the calories really add up. I rely on more of the Natural line of low cal sweeteners and have been experimenting to find what works with what. I had not yet found one that tastes good sweetening up certain items such as my protein brownies without any aftertaste but yet really sweet and yummy! Here it is—Susta sweetener. “A healthy alternative to table sugar and artificial sweeteners” AND “Turns calories into healthy energy” are their slogans. Sign me up! I had to see what this was all about because the taste is great. Susta is made up of all things I can pronounce and want in my body. In addition, the Susta blend contains probiotics, supports digestive health and is a low G.I. food. One packet is equal to the sweetness of two teaspoons of sugar. So here was my protein brownie that turned out excellent using 3 packets- I would have been eating 6 teaspoons of sugar! Yikes! You can buy Susta online—Lucky YOU!

Feels like cheating...

Pudding and cookies for a snack! Well how about that for under 300 calories! Take Chobani vanilla 0% greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon dark chocolate cocoa powder, sweetner of choice and stir like mad.

On the side, have two huge Nutridel Pecan cookies.

I am so addicted to this new pudding creation. Here is another stellar combo:

Chobani Plain 2% + Hershey's Dark Chocolate cocoa + NuStevia White Stevia Powder
