Recipe Rescue: Recipes you can make substitutions to!

The first recipe comes from DeAnn Murtha.  This is a quick and delicious way to keep her full when she is in a time crunch.  We would love to see similar recipes on the FB page if you have any!!

Chocolate Shake
Kirkland chocolate shake: 180 calories
4 ice cubes: 0 calories
2 teaspoons coconut oil: 80 calories
2 tablespoons PB2 powder (or natural peanut butter): 45 calories
1 Banana: 90 calories

Total Calories: 395
The nice thing about this recipe is that you can easily make substitutions based off of your calorie goals.
Thanks DeAnn


 South West Salad : Stacy Reed :)
2 cups Romaine Lettuce: 15 calories
4oz grilled chicken breast with McCormick Grill Makes Rub: 155 calories
1/2 cup of tomato: 50 calories
1/4 cup black beans: 35 calories
1/8 cup of fresh corn: 75 calories
Salsa:: 4 tablespoons: 50 calories
Total Calories: 380
This is my go to recipe!!  It makes soooo much food for low calories.  If you have additional calories at the end of the day you can add avocado and maybe a little ranch to this recipe.

Ranch Tip
Buy fat free sour creme and add a ranch packet to it.  This is only 25 calories for a serving.
This is another one that allows for changes to fit your calorie goal.  Try it out :)
