Pink smoothie

I love how healthy this smoothie is! This is not an overly sweet smoothie and it would probably be a good idea if you like beets :) I love them and really enjoy it.

Pink smoothie 2pp

1 banana
1 pear chopped
1/4 small raw beet I washed it and left the skin on
55g avocado (I weigh so I know exactly how many points it is)
1c water
ice
I added a couple of drops of sweet leaf stevia

Blend all in a nutribullet or blender

Next time I might add a bit of ginger :)

Edamame carrot salad

Edamame carrot avocado salad (didn't have any avocado so made it without this time) Simply Filling or 4pp without the avocado. You could also add any other protein you'd like.

Baby spinach or lettuce
1/4c organic edamame cooked
ribbons of carrot made with a potato peeler :)
2 tsp olive oil
lime juice
garlic finely chopped or garlic powder
cilantro
Bragg's aminos or low sodium soy sauce or tamari sauce

Portobello bacon cheese mushroom

I made this for breakfast today :) Points depend upon whether you use bacon and how much cheese cheese. Mine came to 2pp

Portaobello mushroom
Thick slice of tomato
1 crispy slice of bacon (made an extra one yesterday)
Light cheese

Take out the stem of he mushroom, some people scrape out the black scales I didn't, and either pan fry or bake. I popped mine in my toaster oven on 350 until cooked. Turn it over to get the juices out.

When cooked put it bottom side up, add tomato slice, crumbled bacon and cheese and put under broiler for a minute or leave in frying pan until cheese is melted.

2 tbsp of cake mix of your choice
2 tbsp water

French toast with peanut butter/banana/chocolate

Had this today and it was amazing :)

French toast with peanut butter/banana/chocolate 5pp or simply filling plus 2pp
