Re: Any new low point discoveries?

[Guest guest]

This isn't such a new discovery... but one that I'm willing to trumpet

anyway!

Flat-out bread. They're kind of like tortillas, only a little more

substantial. 3 or 4 points ea, depending on what variety you get. Not as low

in points as some products, but I think they're great. They're pretty

good-sized and you can easily split one in half and still be satisfied. I

get it at the local grocery store and I know that many SuperWally's carry

it. The manufacturer's website is http://www.delections.com/. This is

available in several flavors and also in a low carb version. I like the

Italian Herb the best. I emailed the vendor a few months ago, telling them

how much I loved the flat outs. They responded with a very nice note and

even sent me some coupons.

I used these more before I started doing the Core program. I made wraps,

thin crust pizza, panini, etc.

Any new low point discoveries?

I guess the thing I'm always looking for and interested in is new low

point ideas or products. Such as Carb Focus chips, the entire bag is

only 3 points. Also Lays has a " light " potato chip out thats only 1

point for 20 chips. You can now get low carb tortillo wraps that are

only 1 point. Colonial Bread has a lite wheat bun for hot dogs and

hamburgers that only 1 point and you can get fat free hot dog weinies

that are only 2 points. (not good grilled because they srivel up to

nothing but good cooked on the stove). Any body else got any new

discoveries?

If you want a HUGE dessert, get two servings of chocolate FF pudding

(3 points), 1 serving of FF cool whip (0), and a small banana (2).

Seriously, you'll have to skip dinner. It's that big. :>)

that reminds me - there are some awesome low carb bagels at Costco. They are

not mini bagels, but they are somewhat smaller than regular (too big

anyways) bagels, and they are only 1 point each, and they come in several

varieties. They are made by Western Bagel, and called " The Alternative

Bagel " Each one is 2 oz. 110 cals/0 fat/8 g fiber and an added bonus: 7 g

protein! They even have significant portions of calcium (10% of DV) and

iron (8%).

I think you may be able to find them in the low carb section of regular

grocery stores, too.

We don't have Costco's here but I'll be sure to look for them elsewhere.

Remember that we're sharing ideas here, not judging them. Many people

probably haven't heard of Flat Out breads.

You can make two pizzas out of one sheet (they're that big) and add a

big salad. I've done that before. They also have a low carb version of

a wrap by the same company that is HUGE and is only one point (I think

three points for two, though...which is typical). They make awesome

wraps.

Some things I enjoy (some may be oldies, but goodies)

No pudge brownies

FF SF yogurt with frozen berries

Dreyer's no sugar added fruit bars (0 pts)

The flat out and carb out breads/wraps (1-4 points depending on serving)

Sara Lee Delightful wheat or white bread, full sized bread that takes

a beating and doesn't fall apart...love 'em! Only 1 point for 2 slices

Pan honey peanut butter still 2 pts for 1 tbs, but a little goes

a long way and no need to add extra honey to bread if you want a PB

and H sandwich

[Guest guest]

No offence meant...I've had both and really do like the wraps

better...taste wise and point wise. I saw where someone said the flat

outs were good for making pizza. Now that sounds good. I'll try that!

It's not really a low point discovery, but I make soup with lots of

veggies and legumes (chili, ham and bean soup, gumbo). They are

almost always 1.5 - 2 points a cup. I leave them in a airtight

container in the fridge. Whenever I am starving and need to cook

dinner, or am not in the mood to chop, weigh and prepare a meal I

heat some. It's filling, it's low points, it's healther than any

prepared " snack " I could get from a package (and just as quick to

fix). But when I really want a sweet snack I do Blue Bunny Healthy

Start creme pops.

I'm catching up on posts, so forgive me if someone has already posted

about this. I recently discovered these ramen-like bowls of noodles

called " Simply Asia Soy Noodle Soup Bowls. "

I actually picked the package up at the store for the sole purpose of

mocking how many calories and fat grams it contained. I was SHOCKED

because it only has 70 calories and NO fat. It also has 2.5 grams of

fiber. So, it's ONE POINT!!!

I bought mine at a store called Marc's (for 96 cents). It's not

exactly the same as ramen, but it hits the spot (I love noodles),

especially for only one point. Here's the company's website,

http://p2.hostingprod.com/@thaikitchen.com/soynoodlesoupbowl.html

They have a " contact us " link on this site, so maybe they'll tell you

where you can purchase these in your area.

That sounds great ! Do they have a lot of sodium ? What flavors would

you recommend ?

Hi, Ginny:

The sodium content is...eh...not as bad as some things: 210mg for the

Savory Onion and 100mg for the Szechwan Garlic. I've had both of

those, and I like them both. They have one with ginger in it, but I

haven't had it. I'm not a huge ginger fan.

I hope you can find them!!

I orignally posted the note about the flat-out bread and, believe me, no

offense taken! :-) To the contrary, I thank goodness we live in a country

where we're free to express our opinions.

Flat out pizzas are tasty. I like to make them with FF cheese, turkey

pepperoni and veggies from the Farmer's Market. (Too bad the growing season

is just about over!) I've also made a WW version of Pizza Marguerite, with

slices of tomato, FF mozzerella and basil leaves.
