Fueling Hack - Smashed Potato "Bagels"

I am not the person who hacks Fuelings - I don’t normally like to add stuff to them and then have to track it. But this...this was worth it. I plotted my L&G around it today 😂

1 smashed potato fueling, either flavor (1 Fueling)
2 egg whites (1/7 of Leanest)
1/2t baking powder (1 Condiment)
1/2t Everything But The Bagel seasoning (1 Condiment)
1 wedge light Laughing Cow cheese (1 Condiment)

Mix fueling, egg whites, and baking powder together. Spread in bagel shape on parchment paper on a baking sheet, sprinkle with EBTB seasoning, and bake at 350° for 13-15 mins.

I made one bagel shape and one flattened ball shape to try it out! I spread the Laughing Cow on top of the bagel shape, and slit open the ball shape and spread the LC inside ... the verdict is, both options are delicious! 😋

Shrimp and Cauliflower Grits - Complete Lean and Green Meal (makes 1 portions)

 

I adapted this from the Optavia recipe here.

12 oz peeled and deveined frozen shrimp = 7 oz cooked shrimp (1 LEANEST)

1/2 tsp cajun seasoning (a mix of paprika, garlic, cayenne, pepper, oregano) (1 CONDIMENT)

1/4 c water

1.5 tsp butter (1 HEALTHY FAT)

1.5 c riced cauliflower (3 GREENS)

1/2 c unsweetened almond milk (1/2 CONDIMENT)

1/8 tsp salt (1/2 CONDIMENT)

2 Tbsp sour cream (1 HEALTHY FAT)

1 wedge Laughing Cow Creamy Aged White Cheddar (1 CONDIMENT)

Directions:

1. Thaw and rinse the shrimp, pat dry. 
2. Add shrimp and cajun seasoning to a bowl or plastic bag, and mix or shake until coated.
3. Heat shrimp in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through (3-4 minutes per side usually, shrimp will be pink and opaque when cooked).
4. Add water to skillet with shrimp, scrape the bottom, simmer for 1 minute, and remove from heat.
5. In a separate skillet, heat butter until melted.
6. Add riced cauliflower to butter, and stir frequently for about 5 minutes.
7. Add milk and salt, and continue to stir frequently for another 5 minutes.
8. Remove cauliflower from heat, and stir in sour cream and laughing cow cheese until melted.
