This recipe makes 8 average size bars. Each less than 200 calories. Can't beat that!!
I crumbled 1/2 of a granola bar in with a bowl with Chobani Champions Greek Yogurt (The Honey-Nana flavor) and sliced strawberries.
I really like most Chobani flavors, but Honey-Nana is not one of them. Guess, I will be sticking with the grown up versions for now :)
Lunch
Lunch was a hodgepodge of leftovers from Cartina Laredo. I had a stuffed jalapeno, pork taco, chicken quesadillas, and a steak and shrimp skewer. I also enjoyed a much needed Oatmeal Raisin Cookie.
Crappy camera phone!
Dinner

Today is one of the rare days I do not feel like cooking dinner. I may not cook really big meals every night, but I hardly ever do not want to cook anything. It is a lay on the couch and watch TV kind of day.
For dinner, I cooked a frozen pizza and added extra peppers and onion. I served my pizza with a salad with Italian Dressing.
This dressing was really good and only 45 calories for 2 Tbsp. |
Everyone's been raving about Chobani's yogurt! :D Too bad I can't get 'em here in Melbourne!
ReplyDeleteLovely eats! Plenty of veggies!
Chobani is the only yogurt I like! I seen it on a lot of food blogs too and tried it.
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to visit Australia. One day! :)
