Delicious Discovery: Green Tea with Pomegranate

If you remember a while back I wrote a post about the weight loss benefits associated with drinking green tea daily. Well if you’re still drinking green tea (I am), I found a great new way to spice it up a little. I found Bigelow Green Tea with Pomegranate. It’s delicious with all the same great antioxidants as regular green tea, but added sweetness of pomegranate. I brewed it, iced it, and added Splenda for sweetness. Great taste, zero points.

Delicious Discovery: Weight Watcher’s Ice Cream

WW Dulce de Leche

OMG!  One of my new favorites is Weight Watcher’s Dark Chocolate Dulcé de Leche Dessert Bar.  It’s truly delicious!  It’s not like “oh its tasty for a diet ice cream.”  It’s just plain ‘ol good caramel ice cream dipped in chocolate with the added bonus of being a healthier choice.  Each bar weighs in at only 3 WW points plus.  For the non-weight watchers,  that’s, 120 Cals, 4.5 Fat, 19 Carbs, 2 Fiber, 2 Protein. These are a must have for summer.  Even my sister who hates “diet food” asked my Mom to buy some for their house.*

* I was not paid by Weight Watchers to endorse this product, but maybe they’ll see this post and pay me for the next one! LOL

Delicious Discovery: Green Bags


So technically, Green Bags themselves aren’t delicious, but they can help keep your veggies fresh and delicious longer.  I saw on Amazon that they got  some bad reviews, but, they work great for me.  You just have to be careful to keep the moisture out.  I saw the commercial on TV and then by chance found some on sale at the store in the As Seen on TV aisle.  Here is a picture of broccoli that was in a green bag in my fridge for 3 weeks! 

Its looks as fresh as the day I bought it.  I was actually kind of scared to eat it, wondering what kind of voodoo curse that weird green bag put over my broccoli.  But, I ate it, and I survived and it tasted fine.  Not all foods work great (like strawberries), but if you know you bought it, and from reason, may not eat in right away, try a green bag.

Delicious Discovery: Lactose-Free Yoplait Yogurt

Since I finally seem to have gotten my insane eating under control with the help of weight watchers, I decided to do a new type of post called Delicious Discovery.  Anytime I find or re-discover a new food, I’ll do a quick post and a review.  So, today’s Delicious Discovery is Lactose-Free Yoplait Yogurt.  I’m lactose intolerant (allergic to milk/dairy), so I was super excited to see this in Super Wal-Mart yesterday.  Here is the nutrition label. 

It comes out to 170 Calories or 4 Weight Watcher’s Points Plus.  It was delicious.  I highly recommend it.
