A very simple green smoothie:

Blend until smooth

Makes roughly 3 cups, only 200 Calories, fat free and refreshing! Use less watermelon for a thicker, sorbet-like texture.

This is an oatmeal recipe that I loved to eat before I went to college and gained the freshman 30. It's fairly high in calories but it's also incredibly filling and will control your appetite all day. I used to eat it every morning and maintained a weight of ~105 lb for several months.

1/4 cup oats
1/2 cup milk or milk substitute
2 tbs peanut butter (this recipe is for true peanut butter lovers!)
2 tbs raisins
salt and cinnamon to taste
optional: a banana, apple, or pear, sliced into bite-sized pieces

Heat the milk on medium-high heat until it begins to bubble. Then reduce the heat to medium and pour in the oats, peanut butter, raisins, salt, cinnamon, and fresh fruit if using. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens to a consistency similar to sticky rice and the bubbling stops.
