    I saw you were having them last night and was wondering how it would go - those things definitely seem to be a hit or big miss with folks. Personally, I don't think they pair well with Italian style dishes - I tried them with the WF marinara (which I didn't like - had to use tomato sauce to change that up). But I LOVE them in Asian stir frys, I guess since they are so similar to rice noodles.
  • Day 3 for me, so every meal is different.
    B Peach-Mango Drink (not a fan)
    Snack 1 cup sliced cucumbers w/pinch of Sea Salt
    L Mushroom Soup w/spinach
    S Cookies and Cream bar
    D ground turkey w/spinach and mushrooms put in a lettuce wrap.

    I had a snack in between Breakfest and Lunch because I was feeling hungry, the drinks for breakfest are not doing it for me. But all I have is the samples of everything they gave me, so I will make due. Looking forward to weigh in day so I can get the things I know I already really like.

    Try blending it with ice, it makes it go a lot further!

    Also, hot beverages will help with the hungry. Day 3 is killer!
