Lunches/Dinners

Mexican pizza
1 flat out wrap (multi grain) - 1 pt
1/2 c fat free refried beans - 2 pts
1 oz 2% shredded mexican cheese - 2 pts
Various zero point veggies of your choice. I like to slice up some onion, mushrooms, jalapenos and tomatoes - 0 pts
Total: 5 points, and this is huge!

For this, I use the toaster oven on broil. First, spray the wrap with olive oil or canola spray and put in preheated oven for about 6-8 minutes to harden. Take it out, and layer your ingredients to your liking, starting with the refried beans on the bottom, cheese on top. Place back in broiler and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, until cooked through and cheese is melted. I like to then garnish with a bit of cilantro and light sour cream for an additional point.

These wraps are excellent and come in various flavors for 1-2 points. The pizza combinations are endless! Visit here for more info on Flatout Wraps.

Breakfasts

Oatmeal and fruit
1/2 c quick cooking rolled oats - 2.5 pts
1 banana - 1 pt (this is also great with blueberries!)

Egg white omelette
4 egg whites - 1.5 pts
1 slice swiss cheese - 2 pts (I use full fat for max flavor)
1/2 c fresh spinach leaves - 0 pts
1/4 c sauteed mushrooms - 0 pts
Total: 3.5 pts
