 Welcome back to my channel and welcome if you are new here today you are in for a treat I have a fantastic WW weekly meal prep coming your way I have breakfast I have lunch and I have a really whole food wholesome snap I'm planning to take it with me to Vegas I'm heading there on Friday to meet all of my WW tribe members off of my Facebook group that are able to make it over to Vegas if you're not part of my Facebook group I'm gonna put it right there on the screen for you definitely head over join my group we're just under 9,000 members it is so positive fun energetic lots of great ideas shared on that Facebook group so head over and join us you'll get a whole vlog coming your way of our trip to Vegas I cannot wait to see everybody meet everybody and spend some time with everybody so this week I made a really good fall festive pumpkin dish I made a delicious copycat lunch recipe and that snack so if you want to see what I have meal prep for the upcoming week just keep watching so the first thing I need to do for meal prep is get my chicken marinating so that it has time to really absorb those flavors while I make my breakfast and the rest of my lunch prep so for lunches I'm gonna be doing some marinated chicken along with my salad so what I need is two breasts of chicken these are the thick ones I'm gonna go ahead and slice those long ways to make them nice and thin you'll also need some apple cider vinegar oil you can use olive or avocado and whatever marinade you want and I'm gonna go with this brown sugar bourbon because my salad is kind of sweet so I wanted my chicken to have a sweet nest to it as well and then of course some water so let's get this chicken chopped in half and into the marinade ready to go into the fridge get it nice and marinated oh it smells delicious so I'm gonna throw this in the fridge and we'll get started on breakfast so for breakfast this week I'm gonna be having a baked pumpkin chocolate chip oatmeal now let me just tell you how incredibly excited I am about my breakfast I love anything pumpkin I love anything chocolate so this should be absolutely delicious and you're getting that hearty baked oatmeal I'm going to pair this with some eggs so it's going to be a very filling full breakfast for the smart point so let me show you what is in our pumpkin baked oatmeal you're going to need some old-fashioned rolled oats make sure you do not use quick cook oats for this recipe use the old-fashioned rolled oats milk of your choice I'm gonna be doing this carb master milk from Kroger it's the same points as almond milk so feel free to substitute almond cashew coconut milk whatever you prefer you'll need some salt some pumpkin pie spice so I'm gonna be using the DAX pumpkin pie spice as you know this is my all-time favorite pumpkin pie spice ever it is amazing I love DAX because they are all natural no MSG and even better no salt so great spices to use before weigh-in or if you're someone that just needs to watch your salt intake because the flavor in these spices is amazing and this particular one for the pumpkin it's super clean ingredients cinnamon spices and honey and every one of DAX recipes you can pronounce or spices you can pronounce every ingredient so that is always a good thing so if you're interested in DAX I do have a 10% off discount code it is here on the screen for you head on over check them out they have about 20 different spices I own everyone and I love everyone but I have to say this pumpkin spice is on the top of my list so I'll be adding some of that you're also going to just need some ground cinnamon vanilla bean paste is what I'm going to be using you can also use just vanilla extract whatever you have on hand I'm going to be using the PB2 but this is the powdered almond butter so I'm going to substitute this in place of oil or peanut butter just to kind of enhance the almondy flavor of this recipe so I'm going to be doing the PB2 almond butter you'll need some canned pumpkin some sugar-free maple syrup and lastly some chocolate chips I'm just going to be going with lilies so let's get started on our breakfast so let's get started on our oatmeal so we've got two cups here of the rolled oats and we're just going to mix everything in a large bowl here to that I'm going to add my pumpkin pie spice I do not major as you know I love pumpkin pie spice so I add quite a bit generally I'm also going to add just a dash of salt and that just helps bring out the pumpkin flavoring and then just a little bit of cinnamon as well since there is cinnamon in the pumpkin pie spice and then we're just going to mix this together get everything kind of nice and combine and then we'll add in our wet ingredients now for our wet ingredients I'm going to add my one third cup of milk and again this is the carb master milk from Kroger I'm also going to add one quarter cup of my sugar-free maple syrup I'm going to add vanilla bean paste in place of vanilla extract so I'm just going to put in just about a teaspoon of the vanilla bean paste and then lastly I have one and a third cup here of the unsweetened hundred percent pure pumpkin so I'm going to go ahead and add that and we're going to give this a big mix make sure everything is nice and mixed together and then we'll go ahead and add in our chocolate chips now I'm going to reserve some of my chocolate chips to pop on top because I like that look of the chocolate chips on top plus it adds that really intense chocolate flavor in every bite so get your pumpkin oatmeal mixture all nice and combined and then we'll add in those chocolate chips lastly is our chocolate chips so I went ahead and measured out four servings of the lilies chocolate chips which is approximately 240 chips so I'm going to add almost all of them just reserve a small amount again for the top of the pancake bake you can really use any chocolate chip just make sure that you're recalculating the points if it's a chip other than lilies because your points may be a little bit higher but there is our pumpkin chocolate chip bake I'm going to get this in a pan and we'll get this into the oven I went ahead and sprayed my 8 by 8 pan with some non-stick cooking spray we're going to go ahead and add in this delicious pumpkin chocolate chip mixture you guys I am really excited about this this smells so good I can smell the pumpkin but I can also smell the sweetness of the vanilla bean in there as well as the pumpkin pie spice oh yum so we're just going to spread this out into the bottom of our 8 by 8 pan so this is going to be a thicker baked oatmeal than the traditional one that you cook in either the what is it 9 by 11 pan or the 9 by 13 so this is going to be a little bit thicker which is awesome so we're going to go ahead and spread that again as evenly as you can I wish you guys could smell this I really do because it smells so good all right and then to that we're just going to top it with the leftovers of our chocolate chips so just kind of evenly put those over the top just so you get that little bit of a yummy extra chocolate chip in every bite here of your pancake bake oh my goodness you guys oh my goodness okay there you have it so we're ready to get this into the oven it goes in at 380 for about 20 minutes and then we're actually going to turn our oven off and keep this in there for an additional 20 minutes while the oven is off so I'm going to get this in the oven and I'll be back to show you our completed oatmeal bake well our bake is in the oven we're going to make some almond butter to go on top so I have four tablespoons of the PB2 almond butter and then I'm going to do a spin on Amanda Lewis's recipe so if you do not know who Amanda Lewis is definitely check her out on both YouTube and Instagram I will put her name here on the screen for you she's amazing she is the WWR she's lost on over 50 pounds she's a wonderful human being so definitely check out her channel this is actually her recipe so she does it with PB2 but I'm gonna do it with almond butter and then all you do is you mix in some syrup now if you have the really thick syrup you probably will need to add a little bit of almond milk to thin it out but you're going to mix in syrup until you get the tech consistency of peanut butter and let me just tell you how amazing this is you guys this is so good this is her recipe something she created but I'm excited to share it with you guys and also share her channel with you because again in my opinion she's one of the best WW YouTubers so go ahead and mix that together until you get that nice creamy texture of peanut butter or in my case almond butter and this is just going to be spread on top of our pumpkin bake when we go to eat it and it's just going to add that depth of flavor and it's also going to add if you were to use even regular almond butter it would add that extra fat and protein to your recipe but again mine is the PB2 version but it's just really going to add that yummy flavor to my bake so here's what you have is that nice almond butter consistency so I'm just going to put some saran wrap on this and then when we go to eat our pumpkin chocolate chip bake we'll add a little bit of this on top and I do already have this figured into the total points for our breakfast so I'll get this in the fridge and let's look at this beauty oh my goodness my house already smells so amazing so full of fall so excited so I just pulled this out of the oven I am going to allow it to cool just a little bit it'll be a little bit easier to cut and then I'm going to go ahead and assemble my meal prep containers I'll be back to show you exactly what I'm having for breakfast and give you the smart points so here are my breakfast you only see four here because I'm short Mandarin so I'm going to pick up another bag this week so my other meal prep container only has the pumpkin bake but I'm going to show you this bake you guys look at this I mean could that look any more delicious it is full of chocolate and pumpkin and oatmeal oh it sounds amazing it smells amazing I did try a little bit it's super good so this oatmeal bake I'm going to top with that almond butter that we made with this syrup again that was from Amanda Lewis's channel definitely check her out and have a couple oranges and I'll probably cook up a couple of eggs and the days that I'm in a hurry I'll grab a couple hard boiled eggs as I head out the door so for my breakfast one sixth of the pumpkin chocolate chip oatmeal bake is only five smart points and that includes the almond butter so that is five points my oranges are obviously zero my eggs will be zero so my breakfast here you guys five smart points five smart points of pumpkin chocolate chip deliciousness along with that marinated chicken for lunch I'm going to be making a copycat Chick-fil-A superfood salad you guys I cannot wait for this this salad is generally really high in points and I'm going to make a ww friendly version that still has all of the goodness of the original so first let me show you what's in the salad and then I'll show you what is in our maple vinaigrette that we're going to make for our salad so the salad has mixed kale or baby kale in it so I went ahead and picked up two bags from Trader Joe's I wasn't sure exactly how much kale I would need for enough salad for the five days so I went ahead and picked up two bags you'll also need some baby broccoli or broccoli knee so I picked that up at Trader Joe's as well dried cherries again Trader Joe's these are the unsweetened so these are zero points I count these as zero there's nothing added to them they're literally dried cherry so these are zero and then also some almonds and not almonds I'm sorry walnuts and we're going to toast those and give them that nice toasty nut flavor and then for our maple vinaigrette you're going to need an oil of your choice I'm going to be doing avocado oil apple cider vinegar sugar-free maple syrup I have the joseph's I actually purchased this off of netrician and I have to say this is my all-time favorite syrup ever it is so good it is seriously the best sugar-free syrup there is a link for netrician down in the description box so check it out click the link it'll take you to the site you can peek around highly recommend adding this to your cart if you do put in a netrician order salt and pepper and fresh lemon zest and juice so let's get started on this copycat Chick-fil-A superfood salad the first thing I'm going to be doing for my salad is toasting my walnuts so I just have them here on a cookie sheet on some parchment paper I'm going to throw these into the oven for just a few minutes just until they get nice and toasty toasting nuts brings out their natural flavor and makes them taste a million times better so I'm going to get these in the oven and then we'll start getting our broccoli chopped up our lemon zested and juiced so for a salad I need to go ahead and chop up my baby broccoli or my broccolini and then I need to both zest and juice my lemon so let's get started on that so we can start putting together our salad together our dressing for our salad so you're just going to need a cereal type of bowl to that we are going to add one quarter cup of olive or avocado oil I don't have olive so I'm going to use avocado we're also going to add one quarter cup of sugar-free maple syrup you guys look how thick this Joseph's syrup is I'm telling you this is the most authentic to real full sugar maple syrup I've ever found and it is so thick I had to make sure I got a spoon look at that to get the syrup I mean it's insane and it is so incredibly delicious so we're going to add a quarter cup of that I have two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar we're going to do a little dash of salt and we're going to do a little dash of a pepper and then lastly we're going to be adding in about two tablespoons of that fresh squeezed lemon juice that we did and then we're also going to add in our lemon zest now it wants a teaspoon I'm just going to add everything I have I love lemon anything so the more the merrier and I'm just going to take my little mini whisk here and I'm going to mix this together and we have the Chick-fil-A maple vinaigrette that easy so I'm going to put some saran wrap on this and throw this in the fridge while we put together the rest of our salad and then we're going to go ahead and cook up those chicken breasts that we have marinating in the fridge so let's put together our salad so what you're going to need is your baby kale or whatever kale you're using look at these delicious toasted walnuts yum you'll also need your chopped up baby broccoli and lastly your dark sweet cherry so I'm actually going to put everything in my bowl and then we'll package up our vinaigrette separately so we want a good amount of the baby kale just as much as you want to have each day then remember the more lettuce you use the more dressing you have to use so just keep that in mind as you're putting together your little superfood salads here but I have my baby kale and then I'm going to take one-fifth of my broccoli because I'm actually going to be making this salad for all five days this next week so I want to make sure that I have enough broccoli for all five days I want one tablespoon of my toasted nuts so I'm just going to kind of wing about a tablespoon here of my toasted nuts and then since these are zero I'm not too worried but I do just want probably I don't know 10 or so of the dried cherries and there you have it you guys this is the chick filet superfood salad let me show you how we're going to package up our vinaigrette and then I'll show you exactly what our completed salad looks like and we'll start that chicken kids are complete in my little reusable containers I have one-fifth of the dressing these are great they have these cute little plastic lids they're awesome you don't have to throw them away like the disposable plastic ones you literally just throw them into your dishwasher so it's good on the environment they're easy they keep everything nice and cold because they are that kind of aluminum steel casing so I have one-fifth of the dressing I'm going to go ahead and add it to each of my superfood salads and you guys that's it look at how amazing this looks you're getting your veggies you're getting a little sweetness from the cherries some protein from the nuts broccoli and then that amazing maple vinaigrette so this is the superfood salad let's get our chicken cooking and then I'll show you my entire lunch and give you all of the smart points so we're ready to get our chicken in the oven I have my oven preheating to 375 I have my sheet here lined with some parchment paper oh my goodness this marinade smells amazing all right so we're going to get our chicken put out here on the parchment paper that's just going to help make it a lot easier for cleanup and then our marinated chicken here looks again absolutely delicious it smells sweet and kind of tangy all at once so I'm really excited about that so there is our marinated chicken breast I'm just going to pop these into the oven and we'll have one of these each day with our superfood salad yum look at this chicken this looks so good I just pulled it out of the oven I'm going to allow it to cool and then I'm basically going to just put it into I don't know if I'm going to do a ziplock bag or if I'm just going to put it on a plate and then just pull the chicken breast off every day that's probably what I will do but the chicken is done and I'll be back to show you my lunch and give you all of the smart points so here's what I'm going to be having for lunches this week so I'm going to be having one of these chicken breasts couple of these are rather large so I'll slice it in half and that will give me enough for five days I count this chicken as one point because I do count one smart point for the marinade due to the fact that there is some oil in there as you know there's always marinade left in the bag so I don't need to feel like we need to count more than one point but I always like to count one smart point and then of course I have my superfood salad my copycat Chick-fil-A with my dressing the salad with dressing is five smart points you can't beat that you guys you're getting veggies you're getting walnuts you're getting vinaigrette with the healthy avocado oil all for five smart points so really excited about that and then for dessert I'm going to be having one of my chocolate right peanut butter cup patties this is what these look like there are two peanut butter patties per package they are 35 calories per cup so this package is a total of two smart points you can't beat it and these are a really good dupe for Reese's I feel like they taste a cross between Reese's and a butterfinger and they are delicious I purchased mine off of the protein wise website there's a link down below if you click the link it'll give you ten dollars off your first order so you can order a few boxes of these for free and you can do a little bit of shopping around as they have tons of ww friendly delicious items so I'm going to be having one of my chocolate right path of peanut butter cups oh that's a tongue twister for two smart points so it's two for my dessert five for my salad and one for my chicken so this is my eight smart point lunch for a snack this week I'm going to be having a sheet tray maple cinnamon trail mix I cannot wait for this I've been craving trail mix and again I'm going to be taking this with me to my meet-up in Vegas so here's what's in the trail mix first you're again going to need some sugar-free maple syrup you know I love this Joseph's again I purchased this off of nutrition there's a link down below you'll need a little bit of salt reduced sugar craisans cinnamon powder raw almonds I think these are lightly salted almonds you could really do either one pumpkin seeds and walnuts so this is going to be a super heavy protein and quality fat trail mix so let's get started so to put together our trail mix it is super easy you can see here I have all my nuts so I have one cup of pumpkin seeds one cup of almonds and one cup of walnuts so a total of three cups of nuts and seeds so we're going to go ahead and just kind of mix that together we want to make sure that the nuts and the pumpkin seeds are nice and combined that already looks so good and to this we are going to add three tablespoons of maple syrup I am going to eyeball it the maple syrup you I've already counted for in the calories and in the point so I want to make sure I have enough here to combine all of my nuts together and get that nice sticky coating so three tablespoons of our maple syrup and then we're also going to add in a little bit of cinnamon and that's just going to give it that nice maple cinnamon taste and then of course a little bit of salt and that's just going to enhance all of those flavors go ahead and mix that together really well you want to make sure that those nuts are covered in the maple syrup that's what's going to give them that delicious maple cinnamon glaze when they cook let's get out our baking sheet line it with some parchment paper and then we'll be ready to get this into the oven so we've lined our baking sheet here with some parchment paper and then we're just going to spread out our trail mix just evenly here on the parchment paper and get that nice even coating here we don't want it too much in a lump because we want the trail mix to roast and cook completely through so just kind of spread it out as much as you can here on your parchment paper we're going to get this into our oven at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes or so just enough to kind of roast everything through and really get that cinnamon and that maple to mix in well with all of our nuts and seeds so let's get this into the oven it is looking delicious look at this trail mix oh my goodness it smells so good i just pulled it out of the oven and you can see that that syrup it's kind of sticking together oh yum so i'm just going to take my spoon and just kind of try to divide it out a little bit i know that it's going to be clustering due to the maple syrup which is honestly not a bad thing at all and then once it is cooled completely we are going to add in one cup of our reduced sugar cranberries now just heads up that was this entire package of these craisans so this is about one cup worth so go ahead and add that in take your spoon mix that together oh my goodness you guys look at how good this looks so we're just going to get this cranberries mixed in really well with our clumps of our nuts with that maple and that cinnamon oh my gosh yummy so what i'm going to do is i'm going to divide mine out into 16 servings it is pretty high smart point because you have nuts which as you know have a lot of fat which are actually really healthy and good for you and then you also are adding in those reduced sugar craisans even though they're reduced sugar they still are pretty point heavy so this is fairly point heavy but extremely satisfying whole delicious food so i'm going to divide it out into 16 and that's going to keep it a little bit more point reasonable for me so i'll show you exactly how i'm going to measure that out and what a serving size looks like so to measure it out to get an accurate serving size i have a bowl here on my food scale i have it in grams and i've zeroed it out so what i'm going to do is add all of my trail mix here into this bowl and then i will divide the number of grams by 16 so my entire batch of granola weighs 541 grams so i'm going to take that so good and i'm going to divide that by 16 which is about 34 grams per serving so what i'm going to do is remove 34 grams of trail mix into a little baggie and that will be one serving so let me get this bagged up and i'll be back to show you our granola and give you the smart points our trail mix and give you the smart points so here is one serving of the trail mix so this is a small bag i would say that you're getting about a quarter cup of the trail mix or so and again i divided mine into 16 servings so one sixteenth which is about a quarter cup of the granola is for smart points it is a little bit high but remember you're getting a lot of nuts you're getting some healthy fats and it'll keep you full so it's a great four-point snack and again i'm going to be taking this to vegas to share with all of my tribe members so here are my snacks that i'm going to be having this week so first of course i'm going to have my built bar you know i have this every day as my morning snack this tides me over until lunch it's delicious it's packed full of protein and fiber so it keeps me nice and full so i have the built burner and caramel brownie just so you know this one is no longer available this whole line of burners is not i just have some leftover so i'm going to be having that the double chocolate mousse is so good if you like chocolate galore you're going to love this double chocolate mousse the mocha chocolate cream amazing if coffee and chocolate is your thing you'll love it black cherry this one is really good it tastes like a chocolate cupboard cherry it's a fairly new flavor of built bar and then the newest one or my very very favorite one is the peanut butter you guys this is so good it actually has chunks of real peanuts in it and thick chocolate coating so incredibly delicious this is a new flavor it is available on their website so definitely check it out all of these built bars are three smart points apiece which is not bad for a protein bar the peanut butter though is four points and that's because it does have a little bit more saturated fat and calories due to using organic real peanut butter and chunks of peanuts in it but it is worth every single bit of that one extra point very it's honestly my favorite along with the mint brownie delight so i'm going to be having a built bar every morning if you're interested in built bar my code is here on the screen it'll give you 10 off and free shipping amazing that's even included on the sample pack of the built bar so you can't go wrong head over to built bar definitely pick up the peanut butter and check it out and order yourself some built bars so this is my morning snack of course i'm going to be bringing the trail mix we just made in meal prep i'm actually really excited about this and at first i was like oh that's a lot of points but not really when you have nuts and sweetness and cinnamon and craisans i'm so excited so that's four smart points and then i've been in love with the new smart cake flavor this is the vanilla latte this was one smart point per cake there are two little cakes in this package here these are low carb so they have zero sugar five grams of fiber four grams of protein per smart cake 38 calories one smart point the vanilla latte is really good it does have some caffeine so it's nice for that little afternoon boost i nuk it in the microwave for just a few seconds it's soft it's delicious it has a sugary crumb coating so good love love love the vanilla latte by the way these are keto as well so if you are following keto or you know someone that is this is a great sweet treat on the keto plan one smart point you guys can you believe that for a little cake sometimes i'll top it with a little fat free
