Raspberry Vanilla Smoothie:

1 cup raspberries (1 fruit)
1/2 cup milk (1/2 dairy)
1/2 cup vanilla (or fav) yogurt (1/2 dairy)
1 tsp vanilla (optional) -----
6 ice cubes crushed -----
1 drop Stevia extract (or other sweetener)-----

*Blend all ingredients in a blender or similar. Makes 1 large or 2 small shakes. You can use all milk, or all yogurt, depending on whats on hand and your personal preference. This is great when you have to fit in your last fruit & dairy, and want something different. *Pits sink to the bottom, if allowed to stand for a few minutes*

I really enjoy my smoothies... usually use:

3 oz. wildberry yogurt
1 cup of frozen strawberries
1/2 - 1 packet of Sugar Twin
1/2 cup water

(1/2 Fruit, 1/2 Dairy)

Sounds good MicheleR, I guess its the same concept except I use ice cubes instead of the water.

Spicy Egg Wrap:

1 egg scrambled
2 tablespoons fat free salsa
1 6" diet tortilla (I use bodywise)
cooking spray

*Spray pan with cooking spray, scramble egg, add salsa, heat through. Pour scrambled egg/salsa mixture onto tortilla, roll up. I usually add a bit of tobasco, cause I like mine spicy! You could add veggies like peppers, onions, mushrooms etc.

1/2 protein, 1/2 free exchange, 1 starch, 1/2 fat.

Meatloaf in muffin pan (another favorite)

Extra lean beef (the amount necessary - hard to tell you!!)
1 egg (1/2 P)
1 tbsp of bread crumbs (don't really count it since you'll eat 1/12th of this.
2 tbsp of Worcesthire sauce (something else that doesn't really count...almost no calories)
Mustard (to your taste)
Garlic Powder (to your taste)
Pepper (to your taste)
Parmesan sprinkle (again... really small in portion - not counted)

You can add any cubed (tiny cubes) veggies in here (carrots, peppers & oignons is good).

I sometimes add a little 0.5 oz cube of cheese (or smaller) in the center of those muffins...it melts and it's OH SO GOOD!

Preheat oven to 400F.

So mix all the ingredients above in bowl. I separate in batches of 2 oz each. If you want to have them bigger, you can.

Spray cooking spray on a muffin pan (I use the 12 muffin one).
I usually fill at least 10 muffins with my meat but I try to do 12 as these are OH SO GOOD as leftovers!

Cook for above 25-30 minutes. DELICIOUS!

2 Servings (of 2oz each):
1P, Veggies if you have any, Dairy for the cheese.

Turkey Meatloaf - 6 Servings
 
Celery - finely diced (1 cup)
Onion - finely diced (1 cup)
Cremini mushroom - finely chopped (4 cups) - you can use white mushrooms if you prefer
Egg - 1 large - beaten slightly
Ground Extra-Lean Turkey - 24 oz
Porcini - 1/3 oz - if you can't find porcini you can use any dried mushroom you can find. Grind it up into powder by using a coffee grinder
Whole Wheat Bread slice - 1 - bake in oven until dry then crush into breadcrumbs
Tomato Paste - 2 tbsp
Worchestershire Sauce - 1 tbsp
Thyme - Fresh (2 tsp) or dried (1 tsp)
Flavo magic and pepper to taste

Directions:
Soften celery and onion in a pan. You can spray the pan with PAM if you like, but there is enough moisture in the celery and onion to allow them to sweat naturally. After 2-3 mins add the mushrooms and cook until almost all the mositure from the mushrooms has evaporated. Put the mushroom mixture into a mixing bowl and allow to cool for 10 mins.
Once cool, add in the egg, then the remaining ingredients, saving the turkey to add last.
Bake at 375 degrees for 40 mins or until done.
To help with portion control, I baked my meatloaf in a 6-cup muffic tray. The mix divides up perfectly!

Each serving:
1 Protien
1 Vegetable
1/6 Starch

I am not sure if I am missing anything else. If I did, please let me know! Also, let me know what you think...;)
