Deluxe Raspberry and Banana Smoothie

From the same Weight Watchers "Eat Wisely Turn Around" book 1 as the vegetable soup (see earlier post). 5 points (page 27)

Pretty tasty. I've been making these for breakfast once or twice a week since they're quick and portable.

The recipe calls for pineapple juice, but I substitute orange juice. With the pineapple it tastes a little too tropical. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing, it just isn't what I'm going for.

Vegetable Soup

This soup is such a win.

From Weight Watchers' "Eat Wisely Turn Around" book 1 (page 31)

It's really easy to make and pretty quick too. If you make the recipe as written, it makes 4 1-cup servings that are 0 points each. I added to it though, to make it a bit more filling so I could eat it for lunch. I added 1 cup of shelled edamame and 2oz (uncooked) orzo and it turned out really great (5 points per 1-cup serving).

I plan to make this soup but double the recipe and just keep it in the fridge. It worked great as a quick lunch and I never got tired of it. :-)
