Toffee Muller Lite Yoghurt

Well... any Muller Lite... but the Toffee one is particularly delicious. (about 110 cals). I have it as a topping for bananas for a dessert or mixed with 2oz porridge oats for breakfast.

The chocolate one is nice too - and the vanilla one - mustn't forget the mixed berries one.... Actually I'm not sure what I would do without Muller Lite Yoghurts.

Another thing which is a big favourite at the moment is Tesco's low fat cream crackers. My favourite lunch at the moment is three of them (90 cals) topped with oneLaughing Cow lite processed cheese divided between the three crackers (25) and then topped with one slice of that very lean, thinly sliced smoked ham (15) which I shred and divide between the three crackers. Total: 130

Robinson's Pear squash! It makes those 2 litres of water go down very easily! They do a peach one as well which is nice.

Onken Lite Mousse - I love them all & at only 2.5 points a hit are a lovely treat.

Pickled onion flavour monster munch - again at 2.5 points guaranteed to curb a monster munchies attack - I put them in a bowl so it looks more like a proper snack instead of a bag of crisps.

Co-ops own chocolate mousse - yet again 2.5 points, but is delicious. It is only a small tub but is more like the cadburys mousses than Tescos own which is a larger tub but tastes synthetic.

Frozen grapes - I'm living on them now

Extra Lite Cheese spread with Garlic & Herbs - Tesco & Asda both do there own makes and both are wonderful - if you like garlic. I usually allow 0.5 points per scrape - but in reality it should be a lot less than that.

Just a few of my favourite things - sorry I don't know the cals - none handy to look it up.

Kelloggs cereals - I like Crunchy Nut Cornflakes and Coco Pops best. With skimmed milk, they work out at 160 calories a bowl. Good for brekkie and as an evening snack.

Marks and Spencer "lite" Pineapple and Choc and Mint mousse. Only 83 calories a pot. Yummmy.

I have a craving for Monster Munch now

I am a muller light yog and mousse fan too! I use the vanilla one as a cold custard with bananas etc, i eat them for brekky, desserts and as a snack.
I also love fresh soups from the chiller cabinet, my fave at the mo is Tesco's spicy parsnip only 204 for a huge 600g serving, yum, i love the asda carrot and coriander too.
I don't buy a lot of ready meals but prefer asda's as the servings are not tiny and they are very tasty, but read the labels as they can be very high!!

I also love snack a jacks and the ryvita rice cakes with sesame seed. DH was going on about a curry flavoured crispbread he had seen advertised has anyone else seen/heard of these?? i think I would like them.

i also love Jacob's thai bites, oriental spice flavour, mmmmmmm.

Default Orgasmic

I have just had an M&S Count on Us Chocolate and Cherry Dessert. Microwave or steam and it was only 2.5 points. 155 calories for a 130g pot and it was proper tasting chocolate too - not the manky stuff

I am also a muller lite fan too, and you can make a sort of eton mess with muller(1.5pts), crushed meringues(0.5pts for one) and raspberries (approx 1pt).

Just added in the approx points values.

No - I have never tried it warmed, but last night I had an amazing dessert. I defrosted 100g of Asda frozen mixed berries and then layered them in a glass with a chocolate muller lite yoghurt.

Did one for Kevin as well and put a inch thick slice of chocolate swiss roll at the bottom of his with a little of the defrosted berry juice (mixed with a tablespoon of brandy) poured over it and then layered with the choc yoghurt and fruit. He said it was gorgeous as well.

What was that rescue remedy stuff you were talking about a while ago? What is it? Coz I just realised we have some.
How has it helped you?

Default Spray Oil

Hi

Loads of diets recommend this spray oil (Spray fry or what ever it is called) Well I have tried it and think it is gross and expensive too.

Last week I was looking in the Lakeland Catalogue and I found a pump sprayer thingy. I think it was about £4.00 (plus P and P if you don't have a Lakeland close to you, which I don't) Anyway I thought that was a good idea so that I could make my own olive oil spray and at the very least it would taste decent.

Much to me surprise, when it arrived it was already full of extra virgin oil so I thought it was quite a good buy.

If anyone, like me, hates the spray dry stuff, maybe they could consider one of these which costs about the same but is re-fillable Good Aye!!
