I LOVE the sugar free flavored syrups. I have only used the Vanilla, Caramel and Hazelnut up until I ordered these 6 sweet babies last week. Arrived today and yes......I opened each one and stuck my finger in (they are MINE thank you) and tasted each syrup. Soooooo yummy!! There is so much you can do with these. I recently mixed the SF caramel syrup in some greek yogurt with some cinnamon and Splenda. Was a delicious "caramel apple dip". I cannot wait to make yummies with these new flavors. I ordered these directly from the Torani website. In case you didn't know, you can buy the big sugar free bottles of syrup from Starbucks as well. They usually only have SF vanilla and caramel to sell but for about $7 including the pump, not a bad deal.
If you do not already LOVE and follow Eggface, you need to!! She is the BEST post-op bariatric lady out there in my opinion. She uses SF Torani all the time and was my inspiration for buying the new flavors.
My other new fav find are these fabulous protein packed lentils! I have been wanting to add Lentils to my diet. Sooooo yummy and a big PUNCH of lean protein for your diet. The idea of cooking dried beans kept me far away from trying this since I am short on time on week nites. I found this "Melissa's Lentils" at Walmart in the produce section. Delish, already cooked and just need to be warmed to eat. Fabulosity yall!!
Since one of my besties is a vegetarian I decided to make my first Lentil meal for us on Sunday. I made Easy Lentil Feta Wraps. (Click for recipe). Was like a Medeterrian Burrito. High protein, low carb and delish. I used the Low carb wraps and regular onion instead of shallots. My veggie bestie LOVED them. I let him take home the leftovers and I made some more tonight. I just warmed up the lentils tonight and put fresh red onion on top instead of cooking the onion. Was just as good. Sooooooo excited about this Lentil find.
Ironically, Eggface posted Lentil burgers on her page this week. Will have to try those.
Here is my lunch box for the week (we had a short week at school since Monday was a holiday). All of this usually lasts me about 3 days. I make these on Sunday and take to work for my fridge there. I will eat something off the salad bar or the hot bar if it is on my "healthy" list.
This week I made a BLT lettuce wrap. Large lettuce leaves, bacon and diced tomato. You can add a little lite mayo to the tomatos if needed but I didn't this week. Also fresh strawberries with Splenda. Pic 2 has fresh blueberries, cottage cheese, hummus and veggie stix. Yummo!!
