And last but not least, my Facebook group head on over and join us. So we have a super fun day today. So let's jump in. This morning, I think I'm going to do a scramble. It just sounds really, really good and it's kind of a good way to get in some extra veggies. So I'm going to do one whole egg in two to three egg whites, four to six slices of Canadian bacon. I have to see how many points that is, but this is a great way to get in some protein, about a tablespoon of fresh parm on top. And then I have these mushrooms that are about to go bad. So I'm going to slice up a few of those. And then I'm just going to put in a little basil because I love basil. So let's make a little scramble for this morning's breakfast. So here is what I'm putting in my scramble all chopped up. So I ended up doing four slices of Canadian bacon, a couple mushrooms, some fresh basil, one full egg, three egg whites. And again, I'll just top it with about a tablespoon of parm. So I've got my pan warming up and let's make the scramble. My veggies have sauteed down a bit. So I'm going to add in one full egg and three egg whites. Scramble that up. I'll put together my plate and be back to share points and calories. So here is my breakfast. My scramble turned out really, really good. What I love about this type of a breakfast is there's a lot of food for little calories and points. So it's filling and it's satisfying and it's sustainable. And you're getting in a good amount of protein between the eggs, the Canadian bacon, which is a really low point, low calorie, high protein meat option, as well as the cheese. So my scramble is only three smart points. Two for the Canadian bacon, one for the tablespoon of fresh, delicious parmesan. The basil is going to add some good flavor. And then I'm having a little bowl here of a mixture of organic blueberries and blackberries. So my entire breakfast is three smart points and a ton of protein, which is exactly how I like to start off my day. I always say make sure your breakfast is 20 grams or more of protein. Good morning. As you saw, I just finished my breakfast. It was incredible. 44 grams of protein in that breakfast, including my coffee. I do add the vital proteins collagen. That's 10 grams of protein. But that's 34 just for breakfast, which is an amazing way to start off my day. Once I finish my breakfast, I always fill up my water as you saw so that I can start working on my gallon of water. Yes, that is still a goal for me every day. I've been nailing it. I've been drinking at least a gallon some days, even more than a gallon of water. But once I finished breakfast, get my water poured for the day. It's time for me to take a couple of supplements. First thing in the morning, I take my gummy vitamin from Costco, and then I move into my other supplements that I take every single day, starting with my probiotic from Thrive. So many of you have reached out and have ordered your gut health test, have sent that back and are waiting on results, including my lovely husband. I mailed his off about a week or so ago, and we're just waiting for the result so that we can see where he is gut health wise. So I'll definitely be sharing that with you guys. But I did my gut health test. As you know, I was deficient in five good bacterias, which are all in my personalized probiotic. That's what I love about Thrive is they personalized the probiotic to you. It's great to take a probiotic, but it needs to be personalized to the healthy bacteria that you need. And that's where Thrive comes in. I couldn't recommend the test or the Thrive company any more than I do. They're such a great company and such an amazing, amazing, accurate test that gives you the correct probiotic. So every day I take my two, they're a soft gel. So they're super, super easy to take. I just take them after a meal, whether that be breakfast or lunch. Again, they're very, very, very easy to swallow. I'll link Thrive down below for you guys. Right now they're offering 50% off of their gut bacteria, gut health test. Highly recommend. I literally could not recommend it more. And then I take my greens. I take them, my adventure to fit greens in the apple and the banana. I'm pretty good about eating my greens, but I always like to back it up with a supplement. It's really important to get in your greens every day. It just helps your body function properly, digest your food properly. And of course, make everything a little bit more regular. So these greens are great. They taste really good. You can mix them with water, put them in a smoothie or dry scoop them. I just dry scoop them. I put this in my mouth with some water. I swish and I swallow. I think they taste really good. They're like a sour candy. So it's just a good way to get your greens in in a split second and also a little bit of water in the meantime. I've been getting a lot of questions on my tumblr that I featured in my favorites video from brewmate. I'll link this down below. I'll link these down below as well with 10% off for you guys. If you struggle to get in your greens or you just want to make sure you're getting in your greens, this is super affordable and easy, easy way to do it. I'm going to have my morning snack. So I'm having this blueberry ginger bottle of kombucha. As I mentioned before, this bottle is three points on the WW app, but I count it as one point. It's anywhere from 50 to 60 calories. So that's one point to me. And then I'm going to have one of my cups of whole milk cottage cheese from Good Culture. These are four smart points. This is a full fat cottage cheese. It's amazing. I found these little cups at Costco. You can also buy Good Culture in the tub. Generally at Target. Walmart and Kroger is where I've seen them. So this is my morning snack and it is a total, this is my morning snack for five smart points. Do you have your special bone, buddy? Yeah. Oh, there it is, bud. Happy day, buddy. You get a special bone. Do you have your special bone, honey? Little show mommy your special bone. Oh, you're so excited. Your tail is just a wagon away. Along with our bathroom remodel, we decided to do a little bit of upgrade in our bedroom as well. You can see that my husband has this old school, literally 10 year old alarm clock, but I wanted to give him a little bit of an upgrade. So I have this Heim vision wake up light alarm clock and it is an LED alarm clock. The clock allows you to set up to two alarms is an FM radio and a sleep aid. So it has color changing lights that you can leave on during the day for a little bit of ambiance in your room. And then it also has a nighttime bedside light or a midnight light depending on what you're after. I love how it changes color and my favorite feature is the nature sound. So there's ocean and nature. I'm going to let you guys take a good listen because it's pretty incredible. So I showed it to Troy and of course he wanted to just stick with his old school alarm clock. So I decided to go ahead and put this on my side of the bed so that I don't have to look over him to see what time it is during the night. And I'm loving it. I love the nature sounds and all the different lights. So I'll link this down below for you guys. It's super affordable and you can just pick it up off of Amazon. So so much for my grand plan of having Troy swap out his old school alarm clock. But lucky for me, I get an amazing new alarm clock. Lunch time. It is about noon and I'm hungry. So I'm making a chicken wrap. This is one of my very favorite lunches. It's so so easy. So the wrap I use is the Mission Carb Balance Tortilla. I have never tried these. This is the first time. So I'm hoping I like them. I'll put here on the screen what my thoughts are versus the Olay. These are two points instead of one point. And then I spread one wedge of the Laughing Cow Light Cheese for one smart point. In my air fryer, I air fried six of the Kid Fresh nuggets. You guys know I love these nuggets. You can have six nuggets for three points. This is my air fryer, the Copper Chef. I'll link this down below. I just buy this on Amazon. Then I added a few slices of these organic hamburger dill chips for zero. A little bit of lettuce. And then I just kind of roll that up. And it makes this really delicious chicken wrap. And then for dessert, I'm going to have my light and fit yogurt in toasted marshmallow with about a tablespoon of the purely Elizabeth granola. That is three points. And then of course, no surprise to anyone in Auroboro water in Cactus Rose. This is my favorite sparkling water. It has perfection of ingredients. It's so flavorful and delicious. You can buy this off the Thrive Market. I'll link Thrive down below with 25% off your first order and a free gift. So highly recommend the Thrive Market. I actually have an order on its way. So I'll definitely film that haul when it comes in. But that is going to be my lunch. So my wrap here is two points for the tortilla. Three for the nuggets and one for the cheese makes this wrap six smart points. And then three points here for my little yogurt parfait with the yogurt and the granola zero for my Auroboro. So this is my nine smart point lunch. It's afternoon snack time. I am not quite done with my gallon, but I'm getting there. I'll definitely report back to you when my gallon of water is gone. But I decided to go ahead and have three points worth of the hope hummus and garlic in pesto. This is the hummus right here. So again, I have three points worth of that with some cucumbers to dip in my hummus in replacement of crackers because I want to have three points worth of these dark chocolate drizzled plantain chips with salt from Trader Joe's. This is what they look like. They are so good. So I'm going to have three points worth of those as well. So my snack is going to be a total of six smart points for tonight's dinner. I'm doing a WW pound dropper recipe. We are making the copy cat KFC chicken bowl, but in a casserole form. I'm really excited for this because sometimes making the individual bowls is a little bit of a pain. So I'm excited to see how this casserole turns out. This is a five ingredient recipe, so it can't get any easier than that. You're going to need some popcorn chicken. I was after the Tyson, but they did not have it at Kroger. So I picked up the Kroger brand, some light three cheese blend frozen corn gravy of your choice. It recommends beef gravy. They didn't have beef. So I just picked up pork and then mashed potatoes of your choice. I'm using the Trader Joe's frozen 50 of the potato pellets in our recipe. If you use another mashed potato, follow the original recipe because it's essentially two and a half cups of mashed potatoes. So let's get started. First thing we're going to do is put 10 ounces of the popcorn chicken into our air fryer at 400 until the chicken is crispy. While the chicken's cooking, we're going to get our potatoes prepared. So I actually ended up using the entire bag. A serving is 10 pieces. There's five servings per bag and I needed 50 pieces. So all you do is add a little bit of water to these potatoes, pop them in the microwave and stir them and they make the perfect, perfect mashed potato. I'm making dinner. It is 430 and my gallon of water is officially done. I just put the last little bit in my cup here. I will make sure that I link both my cup and my gallon water bottle in the description box for you. So I'm going to go ahead and cut up a lemon, get my water ready for tomorrow. I fill it up the night before so that it's super, super cold. And I leave my gallon in the fridge throughout the day and then fill up my small cup again to keep my water nice and cold, which is how I like it. Spray a nine by 13 baking dish with some nonstick cooking spray. My potatoes are completely softened and I went ahead and pulled all of my popcorn chicken out of the air fryer. I did cut the bigger pieces into smaller chunks just so that the chicken was a little more evenly distributed through the casserole. We're going to take the entire bowl of potatoes and put this on the bottom of our baking dish in a nice even as possible layer. We're then going to take two cups of corn and put that over the top of the mashed potatoes. So we have a layer of potatoes and a layer of corn. Next step is to take your popcorn chicken and just layer it over the top of the corn and the potatoes. That's another reason you want to cut it into a little bit smaller pieces because we only have 10 ounces of chicken, which sounds like a lot, but when you're layering it in a big casserole like this, it goes relatively quickly. So make sure that you go ahead and get them laid out on top as even as possible. So every serving has popcorn chicken. We're then putting our casserole in a 400 degree oven for about 10 minutes. We want everything to get warmed through and we want the chicken on top to be extra crispy and ensure that it's cooked all the way through. I just pulled the casserole out of the oven. I have one half of a cup of light shredded cheese. I'm just going to sprinkle that right over the top, pop it back in the oven just until the cheese is melted. And the last step is we're going to drizzle over half of a cup of gravy. I went ahead and warmed it up in the microwave just so that it would drizzle a little bit easier. This looks delicious. This entire pan makes six servings or six KFC bowls. I'm going to go ahead and plate this up. I'll be back to share points and calories. All right, so here is dinner. This is one sixth of the KFC bowl casserole. So I have a bowl here and then a bowl here for Troy. So this is one sixth of the recipe. It is 296 calories, which is not bad for chicken, potatoes, gravy and corn. It is nine smart points on the green plan, seven points on blue and three points on purple. If you use a mashed potato, that is zero point. So for me, this is a seven smart point dinner. Thank you for joining me on another What I Eat in a Day on WW.
