 I Making slow cooker jambalaya. I am so excited about this recipe I've been craving some type of Cajun dish and this sounds amazing. So we're gonna get this started It's about 7 30 in the morning, but we're gonna get this into our slow cooker so it can cook all day long So let me show you what's in our recipe. You're going to need some shrimp. This is a one pound package I'm actually going to use this entire bag of shrimp I omitted the chicken. I'm just gonna do shrimp and sausage. So I'm gonna do this whole bag some minced garlic Diced tomatoes, you'll need some rice whatever rice you choose a green bell pepper onion Celery some seasoning you'll need some oregano It also calls for bay leaves, which I don't have so I'm omitting that and then Creole seasoning which I don't have But I'm just gonna replace that with the adax original red This is my favorite seasoning as you guys know It's a nice clean seasoning. This one does have a little bit of a kick So it's a great replacement for Creole seasoning no salt all-natural no MSG clean clean delicious seasonings I love these because there's no salt So it's great before weigh-in great if you watch your salt But it does not lack in flavor at all if you're interested in Dax I do have 10% off and free shipping I'll put that here on the screen for you guys and they have over 20 seasonings including a brand-new ranch That is amazing. So definitely check out Dax You guys know this is a staple in my house So I'm gonna sub the Creole for the original red and then you'll also need salt and pepper and Sausage so because I'm not using chicken. I'm gonna use four of these Trader Joe's Organic sweet Italian chicken sausages. It should be really good. So that's everything for the recipe I'm gonna get the green pepper and the onion and celery chopped up and then we'll put it all together in the slow cooker All right, so we're ready to get the slow cooker going. So in my bowl here I have the chopped up celery green pepper onion sausage and shrimp and I went ahead and just defrosted my shrimp These ones come deveined no tail. So it makes it really really easy But make sure you remove tails and veins if you buy that type of a shrimp So all my food essentially is in this one bowl. So I'm gonna go ahead and add that to my crock pot It's really simple. Everything is going to go into the crock pot. So it's very easy. There's no mess Super quick dinner. So we're gonna go ahead and toss all the good stuff in the crock pot And then we are going to add 28 ounces of diced tomatoes These are the organic fire roasted. You could just use regular diced tomatoes Just just happened to be what I had on hand So I wanted to use those up and I'm gonna give it a quick stir in between Each item I'm adding to the crock pot and that's just gonna make sure that everything is nice and stirred together I'm so excited for this you guys I can't even begin to tell you and then I have one cup of that organic white rice and Then to that I'm going to add my Dax original red. Make sure you guys are checking out Dax seriously Best seasoning ever. This one is a little bit spicy. We don't do with spicy I do it better than my husband So I'm gonna limit the amount that I put in just so it's not too spicy I'm also going to add oregano now You can add bay leaves like the original recipe if you have those Unfortunately, I don't have those I should buy them I just never even think about adding them to my cart when I'm grocery shopping and then of course we're gonna pop in some salt and pepper and I'm gonna put in a hefty amount only because We're not adding any broth or anything else that has salt to this dish And then I'm gonna do the same thing and add a hefty amount of pepper and last but not least we have some minced garlic I'm just gonna go ahead and pour some in and then we're gonna give this a another stir And that's it you guys. It's super super simple I'm gonna go ahead and add in a cup of water as well Now I did not follow the directions the directions has you kind of cook things separately because they're using chicken I didn't add chicken. So I decided to go ahead and add everything to the crock pot at once I am going to put this on low I'm gonna keep my eye on it And if I feel like I need a little more water to make sure the rice gets cooked through But the jambalaya stays thick then I will definitely add more water So I'm gonna put this on low for about three hours I'll check it and then I'll pump it back to low or to high depending on how it's cooked through But this is going to be delicious. So here is my breakfast for today You guys saw this last week in my what I eat today. It was so good and so filling I decided to have it again. So I kind of did a fun spin on avocado toast So the base of my toast is this Ezekiel 49 pita pocket These are only two smart points in a hundred calories for this whole entire pita pocket It has such good ingredients. So I go ahead and just warm it up in the microwave or in a pan for a few seconds I topped it with 70 grams of avocado and some of the everything but the bagel from Trader Joe's and then one egg on top And then today for some extra protein. I'm really trying to hit my protein goal every day instead of fruit I'm going to do this good culture cottage cheese with fruit that way. I'm getting the best of both worlds This is so good. You guys it's three grams of sugar 100 calories, but it has 15 grams of protein They're so good. I love them. So I'm going to do this for three smart points instead of fruit Two for the pita makes five and this is four points worth of avocado So that's nine smart points and I'll put the calories here on the screen for you guys And of course, you guys know the eggs are zero. So this is breakfast. It's kombucha time. It's 10 a.m I like to have this between breakfast and lunch Kind of satisfies me if I'm feeling a little bit snacky So it is 50 calories for the bottle and three smart points And then I'm having water and I forgot to show you guys this morning This is my fifth one of these since I woke up So yay me on the water isn't this cup super cute. So this you guys is from coffee over cardio So the same company that I buy my coffee from all those cute shirts I'll link it down below for you guys. You can use my discount even on these cute little cups They have several of them Love it keeps my water nice and cold. So i'm going to sip on my kombucha and on my water Hey guys, excuse my appearance This is the after fourth of july look But I thought I would hop on really quick and let you know that I'm going to insert some pictures here from fourth of july Now if you're on my facebook group or in my 90 days summer challenge You already know that I stayed within my goal as far as calories go over the fourth of july so that was super exciting So we had a little get together with a couple friends at our house. We had a fire We took the dogs down to the river. They swam. It was really really fun So i'm just going to share with you some pictures just so you can kind of see how our fourth of july went. So enjoy It's lunchtime and it's another day of salad. This is one of my very favorite salads We actually have this leftover from our barbecue last night. I made it for everybody and I loved it So I have a couple cups of the power greens from costco for zero strawberries for zero snap peas Green onions for zero. I have one ounce a full fat feta cheese for three smart points I have three of these which you guys know. I love the cauliflower new chick on the block These are the spicy ish now. These are too spicy for me unless they're in a salad if they're in a salad It's perfect. So I have three of those for three smart points One tablespoon of sunflower seeds for one and then over here. I made up my famous dressing It's one tablespoon of balsamic vinegar one teaspoon of avocado oil One teaspoon of mustard little salt and pepper you mix it up and it's two smart points and it is so good Especially with this chicken salad with the strawberries. It's amazing So my salad is a total of nine smart points and I will put the calories here on the screen for you I get a lot of questions on where I buy these You can find them at really any grocery store. They're in the freezer section Generally with the healthy food so in the health food area But I've also heard that you can find them in the rest of the chicken the regular chicken area So you just got to look around your store, but I love them. So yeah, nine point delicious salad Is it time for lunch for you? Okay, when mommy's done with her salad, you guys can have some green beans. Okay Okay You need to wait too till I'm done. Okay, and then we'll have green beans for everyone Green beans for all so for dessert after lunch. I'm having some smart sweets Kind of craving something sweet after the spiciness of that salad. So these are the smart sweets sweet fish I pulled them out so you guys can see that is how many you get That's a lot and these are big. I mean they're big Fish so you get this entire bag all of these fish for three smart points That's the size of them. They're so good Three grams of sugar smart sweets did just reformulate So they actually took out some of the ingredients that were kind of questionable and decided to sweeten with allulose Which is a naturally derived sugar from figs and raisins. So I like it. It doesn't affect my stomach There's actually zero sugar alcohols in smart sweets. So they're pretty clean when it comes to candy So I like that. It's plant-based a good source of fiber flavored naturally and free from artificial colors and sweeteners So the entire bag is 90 calories And three smart points. You don't get any protein unfortunately, but you do get quite a dose of fiber So if you're fiber sensitive, you probably only want to eat one bag a day Because it does give you a ton of fiber. So this is going to be dessert and then of course I still have Water, let's give the dogs some green beans. Yeah, this is my dessert. All right everybody. It's time for beans Are you gonna get up and come get this bud? Yeah, okay. Oh kind of all right. We're gonna slither. Here you go He's so lazy like he will not get up for his beans.

It is organic It's 160 calories for two ounces or one eighth of the loaf Of course, I'll put the points here on the screen for you pretty decent ingredients. Everything is organic So I got that bread and I thought how easy would that be for a quick weeknight dinner And speaking of bread, I also decided to pick up a loaf of angelic bakery Seven grain sprouted bread sprouted to delight and we know that sprouted bread is always the best But look at the calories you guys 60 calories per serving now the azekis 90 So take a look at the ingredients. They're also really really good. Actually, I don't see anything in there That is questionable. It's oh, there's natural flavor two percent or less of natural flavor I can deal with that, but I'm excited for this bread. I'm going to throw this in my freezer I like to keep sprouted bread in the freezer at last longer Oh, look at all this good stuff. I also grabbed this roth buttermilk blue cheese crumbled This was such a great price and you guys know, I love my blue cheese So I had to pick that up. I like to have that in my salads I also grabbed isn't it crazy kombucha? So they had kombucha as an option for this week's box So this is the hibiscus refresher. This is the revive. So it looks like it is 45 calories per bottle because it's 30 calories for eight ounces one and a half servings per container I love kombucha as you guys know, I've actually never tried the revive brand So I'm excited and then I also grabbed these true story organic sweet italian Chicken sausage you guys saw me haul the true story hot dogs from trader droves Those were I think five dollars.

This is full fat cheese So I'm here for that So I thought this would be great for my husband's lunches or for a little good Bit of protein in the afternoon And everything else is produce. So I picked up another organic mango because my last one was so Freaking good. I think I actually got two. Oh, yeah, I got two. It was the best mango I've literally ever had so I grabbed two of those I also got a sweet potato because it's hard to find just individual organic sweet potatoes in my area So I grabbed that And then my husband's been liking to take carrots and ranch in his lunch So these are just some organic rainbow baby carrots. So good and so pretty And then I loved my brussel sprouts last time. So this time I got three bags so that I can have these as a side dish My husband doesn't like brussel sprouts, but I love them. So I'll have that as part of like a lunch meal prep I went ahead and picked up a big bundle beautiful bundle actually of green leaf lettuce. This is organic lettuce This looks really good.

I'm so excited All right, it is 2 30 and I'm going to have a protein shake This will tide me over until dinner today. I'm feeling some Reese's some Reese's vibes So we're going to make a mock Reese's shake now. I've shown this I believe on instagram and also on my facebook group, but not here on youtube I don't think this is my favorite way to have a protein shake because it is so indulgent And sweet and delicious like I'm having a milkshake, but it is chocked full of protein It's low point. Uh, I'm so excited. So in my magic bullet cup here I have all of the ingredients for this Reese's shake. So what it is is one frozen banana I have one cup of this great value unsweetened almond milk You can use whatever nut based milk or regular milk that you want I have one scoop of my live well plant protein This is in the cacao, which is essentially the chocolate It has 17 grams of complete protein 16 grams of amino acids Only two grams of sugar. It is clean. This is no lie The cleanest protein powder you're going to be able to find It is one smart point per scoop one point And you are getting 17 grams of complete protein complete meaning the type of protein that's in say a quinoa Which is the best protein for your body. They have a vanilla Unflavored coconuts and chocolate. I have all of them. I love them This chocolate is probably my favorite chocolate based protein powder I've ever had and I know it says plant protein, but I promise you There's no chalkiness or grittiness that plant protein has it is absolutely Incredible. I don't know how they do it, but good job live well I do have 10 off for you guys. I'll put that here on the screen and link it down below Take advantage of it. They are the nicest company. They're protein powders the best I've ever had It's all I really use now. I'll go through the other brands that I have But this is my ride or die my go-to And then to make it a rhesus. I add two Tablespoons of this laconto peanut butter powder. I'll link this down below for you guys as well You can buy it right off of amazon two tablespoons is 1.50 calories And it gives you an extra six grams of protein for only 50 calories If you're looking for a good protein boost powdered peanut butter If you're trying to say points or calories is a great option Because you get a lot of protein Point bank for your buck. Yes. So that is what is in my rhesus. It's literally those four ingredients And it tastes like a rhesus. So i'll get this blended up I'll be back to show you my protein shake and there it is. Doesn't that look amazing? It literally looks And tastes like a chocolate peanut butter milkshake. I am not kidding And you guys this entire protein shake aka milkshake aka rhesus is three points one for the almond milk one for the protein powder One for the peanut butter three points you guys for literally a rhesus peanut butter milkshake with protein I wanted to show you guys this you can see that I have scooped all of the jambalaya Into a bowl here on my food scale. I get a lot of questions on how do you figure out what eat servings is How do I know out of this big crock pot that i'm eating one serving out of six or eight or however many servings it makes So what I do is I take it a bowl Put it on my food scale. I zero my food scale out with the empty bowl on it Then I fill the bowl with my dinner. So I've emptied the entire crock pot into a bowl This weighs a total of 2,596 grams. So I take that number and divide that by the number of servings So in the case of my jambalaya, it's eight. So I take 25 96 divided by eight and that is how many grams I get per serving. So hopefully that helps you guys out that way. You're not overeating. You're really truly dividing it Into eight servings. So here is a dinner. So I measured out on my food scale 324.5 grams is one eighth of the whole bag So that is four smart points on both blue and the purple plan and five points on green So all of that for four or five points if you substituted a zero point rice on purple You could get this down to one smart point per serving and that is 211 calories for the jambalaya And then of course I have some peas as well So my dinner is going to be four smart points total and 211 calories plus the peas So here is my dessert for tonight. I'm going to have one of the clio bars As always in strawberry. This is my second favorite flavor along with the vanilla So these are six smart points and they are only 140 calories and they have eight grams of protein Which is great for a sweet treat. So this is going to be my dessert and the final thing I'm eating for today Thank you so much for joining me on another what I eat in a day I hope you enjoyed coming along with me today seeing all of my food and that delicious dinner recipe Don't forget that is on my website and the link for my website is down in the description box As well as the link to come join my facebook group Discount codes and links to all my favorite things.
