so since i've joined weight watchers i have learned so much about different foods and different health reasons behind them. i'm trying so hard to stick to my good health guidelines but sometimes you realize that they take up your points. if you follow the ghg's you'll realize that at least 8 of your points are used on them with your milk servings, fruits, and healthy oils.
recently i've been really into hungry-girl.com. i just purchased this milk substitute that she recommends. its called unsweetened vanilla almond breeze. i searched high and low for it in my grocery store. then i googled it and realized that its in a grocery store somewhere on mcdonald and 18th ave (i'm in brooklyn ny). so i was like i'm not taking a bus to go and get this product. so 2 days ago i ordered it online and i already have it! i tried it...its as thin as fat free milk and has more of a soy flavor but i think its a perfect substitute. and its only 1 point for 1 cup! woah! dude! compared to fat free milk which is 2 points for 1 cup. i went bonkers. lol. and it is a good source of calcium and other goodness which is the point of getting in your "milk servings" for the day.
its so important for me to find everything i eat in lower points because as i lost more weight my points went down and it has now become more difficult for me to stay with in points. it used to be that my milk servings would take up 4 of my 22 points. my points are too precious for that. ha! so for now i'll enjoy this. i'm not giving up on milk. i'll just use it less.
i highly recommend hungry-girl.com to anyone on weight watchers! theres a zillion recipes and interesting finds and different ways to make high point foods into low point foods. i made pigs in a blanket from this chick. go. now. you'll love it :)
