Lunch On the Run: Deli Roll Ups




This lunch is brought to you today by my hips.  Yep, that's right.  Years ago when I joined Weight Watchers, I quickly learned that bread was the fastest way to use up your points before dinner even arrived.  Who needs bread anyway?  (Don't answer that)  Honestly, I really love these deli roll ups, as I refer to them, and eat them almost everyday for lunch.  I can eat a few of these and a banana in the carpool line and stay full until dinner.  My flavor of choice when it comes to the proteins is provolone cheese with Boars Head Buffalo Chicken but the key to these "rolls ups" is to stuff them full of veggies.  Tomatoes, spinach, avocado, etc.  The sky's the limit.  Just get creative and your hips will thank you later.

Weight Loss Breakfast


So, I am in love. Basically.  This is my new favorite breakfast since Lesley  shared it on her blog a few months ago and I FINALLY decided to try it.  Here's the recipe prepared to my taste:

1/3 cup 0% fat Greek yogurt
1 tbs. organic peanut butter
1 tbs. peach preserves
1 tbs. shredded coconut
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
sprinkle cinnamon to taste

The yogurt alone gives you almost 10g of protein to start your day and I promise you will stay full until lunch.  And by the way, if you're a WW fan, it's 6 points.   

Your Southern Peach,

Amy
