 Welcome back to my channel and welcome if you are new here. You are in store for another WW weekly meal prep I added a little Christmas flair to this week's meal prep. I have a breakfast a lunch and a snack So I can't wait to share what I have in store for you to help me stay on track give you some great WW recipe ideas So if you want to see what I have in store for this week's WW meal prep just stay tuned For breakfast this week, I'm going to be making a gingerbread apple pancake bake I am bringing all the flavors of the holiday season to breakfast this week I've been craving something gingerbread and this sounds delicious. So let me show you what is in this week's breakfast You're going to need some sweetener of your choice. I'm going to be doing monk fruit sweetener all-purpose flour Milk of your choice. I have a fair life fat free milk molasses salt eggs Ginger and ground cinnamon and one to two medium-sized apples. So let's get started on this week's breakfast So the first thing that we're going to do is peel and dice our two apples Also, make sure that you put your eggs and your milk on the counter and let them sit and get to room temperature The recipe works a lot better if those two cold ingredients are at room temp So just kind of an FYI. So let's get these peeled and chopped After you've chopped your apples, you're gonna go ahead and add them to a bowl to that You're going to add two tablespoons of your sugar of your choice And again, I used the monk fruit and then we're also going to add some ground Cinnamon and of course you can do that to your liking. I love cinnamon The recipe wants about a half of a teaspoon So I'm actually going to do more like a teaspoon of cinnamon plus I did chop up two apples instead of one So go ahead and get that cinnamon sugar mixture Nice and combined over those apples and then we're actually going to get this put into our baking dish And then we'll start making the pancake part of our recipe You're going to take a greased pie dish or dish of your choice And then we're going to go ahead and add the apples to the bottom of our pie dish And we want to get those spread out as even as we can this is going to form the bottom layer of our pancake bake This is already looking so good. I'm so excited for gingerbread So we're just going to lay those out in the bottom of our pan And then we're going to preheat our oven to 400 degrees and put our apples in for about five minutes Just to kind of start the cooking process of our apples But this by itself looks so good While our apples are in the oven, we're going to put together our pancake base. So you're going to need a blender I'm just using my magic bullet. It's just easier for cleanup to that. We are going to go ahead and add in Three eggs. So these have been sitting out in our now room temperature Which is exactly what you want for this recipe. It just helps the pancake puff up a bit more We're also going to add in one cup of our milk, which is the fair life non-fat milk and then we're going to add in the other two tablespoons of our monk fruit sweetener and Then we have three quarters of a cup of our all-purpose flour I'm going to go ahead and give that a quick blend just because my magic bullets pretty full and then once it blends down Just a little bit. We'll add in the last couple of ingredients the molasses the ginger and the salt So go ahead and give that a quick preliminary blend All right, and then we're going to add in our two tablespoons of the molasses Which is going to make it all things gingerbread with molasses in there molasses is so delicious Okay, so we have two tablespoons of that and then lastly we're going to add just a pinch of salt So I would say maybe half of a teaspoon of salt And then it wants half of a teaspoon of the ginger and then we're going to give this another blend Pull your apples out of the oven you're going to go ahead and take that mix that pancake mix And we're just going to pour it right over the top it smells so delicious So we're going to do that We're going to put this back into the oven at the 400 degrees for about 25 minutes until our pancake bake Is puffed and golden brown So the gingerbread apple pancake bake just got out of the oven look at how good this looks my house smells So good. So I'm going to let this cool for just a little bit We're going to pop it out of the container or the pan and then we're going to dust a little powdered sugar on top Slice it up and I'll show you the serving size I'll show you what I'm going to pair it with for breakfast and of course give you the smart points It was the night before Christmas. I was closing down for business in a present shop I So here's breakfast for the week I'm going to be pairing this with most likely an over easy egg or a scrambled egg and maybe an egg white For a little bit of protein, but this is what I'm going to be having this week for breakfast So I have one serving of the gingerbread pancake bake This is so good. It is dense like cake. It is so delicious It kind of is a cross between like a pumpkin pie texture and cake it is Outstanding and one sixth of the recipe is only four smart points. So this pancake bake is four points I'm going to pair that with some blueberries and then an egg and an egg for me on the green plan is two smart points So my breakfast will be six points total with the egg But just for the gingerbread apple pancake bake is only four smart points for lunches this week I'm going to be making a winter cob salad. This is a little bit higher in points, but it has everything For your lunch. It has your protein your healthy fat Your greens your veggies and fruit. It has everything that you need So let me show you first what is in the dressing and then what is in the actual salad itself For the dressing you're going to need olive oil or avocado oil apple cider vinegar light mayo salt ground pepper or i'm sorry ground mustard And honey i'm going to be using sugar-free honey That really helps save on points for the dressing because it's pretty high with the avocado oil So this is the natures hollow sugar-free honey. I purchased this off of net triton It is the best honey substitute it tastes like real honey and it is about an eighth of the smart point So you can have one tablespoon of this for one point where you can have one teaspoon of regular honey for one point So saves points and tastes delicious. The link for net triton is down in the description box below So definitely check it out. I highly recommend adding this to your cart and there are several other great WW products on net triton's website. So again, the link is down in the description box below So that's everything that is in the dressing And then for the salad itself, you're going to need some sugar-free maple syrup reduced sugar craisans pepper Butternut squash whatever greens you want to use I'm going to be using this italian style, which is romaine and radicchio and then the protein greens from organic girl Which are sweet pea leaves so good. So i'm going to mix those two together You're also going to need a couple of pears avocado Bacon of your choice. I have the private selection center cut bacon I love this bacon because you can have two slices for one point. So it is so low and delicious And then of course you're going to need some pecans So let's get started on our winter cop salad So the first thing i'm going to do is put my bacon into the oven 400 degrees I just line a sheet pan with some foil and the bacon comes out perfectly cooked and it's a very easy cleanup So let's get this bacon cooked and then we'll start making the dressing for our salad While our bacon's in the oven, we're going to go ahead and chop up our butternut squash I really wanted to get the already pre-chopped ones, but they didn't have any at the store So we just want to cut this into cubes and we are going to roast this in the oven Before we add it to our salad and then once we finish our squash We're also going to chop our pecans and toast those on the stove as well So let's get this butternut squash chopped up door Jingled once more And then time almost came to a stop But somehow I and maybe so did you Do We're ready to put our butternut squash in the oven So I've spread it out here on my baking sheet lined with parchment I'm going to give it a quick spray with just some non-stick cooking spray That'll just kind of help brown it up a little bit And then we're also going to put about a tablespoon of maple syrup over the top Of our butternut squash So i'm just going to kind of give it just a quick drizzle And then we're going to throw this in the oven and get this baked up While our butternut squash is in the oven, i'm going to go ahead and just toast up One third cup of my chopped pecans and we'll get these nice and toasted It really brings out the flavor and then we're just going to set these aside While our squash is in the oven, we're going to make the dressing for our salad So I have one half of a cup of apple cider vinegar and make sure you get the one with the mother I'll show you here on mine See how it says with the mother. This is the best apple cider vinegar So I have one cup of that. I have one quarter cup of avocado oil You can also use olive oil, whatever you you have on hand And then we're going to add one quarter of a cup of light mayo And then we are going to add in three tablespoons of our sugar-free honey We're going to add some ground mustard and the recipe wants about a half of a teaspoon So i'm just going to kind of put in a little bit of the mustard And then the last couple of things that we have to add our salt and pepper So again, just to your liking go ahead and add in some salt and pepper And then we're going to take our whisk here And we're just going to whisk this until it is emulsified It comes together. It's nice and creamy. I'm going to cover it with some saran wrap And we're just going to throw this into the fridge until we're ready to eat our salad or put together my meal prep I'm going to put this in little containers and into the bowl for my salads for the week So just get it nice and combined until you don't have any more chunks of the mayo So the assembly of the salad is going to be a little bit different for this week I am going to be using my meal prep bowls All of my meal prep containers are linked down in my amazon store in the description box So I went ahead and mixed together the two lettuce mixes so that it's nice and combined So what we're going to do to assemble our salad is we're going to go ahead and fill Our bowl here with some greens now our other ingredients here makes eight servings total. So I'm going to Bowl up five salads and then I'm going to have salad today my husband and myself So I'm going to show you what the completed salad looks like put together when I go to eat it So you're going to see me assemble them for meal prep And then you're going to see what the actual salad looks like when we do go to have it for lunch today So go ahead and add your greens to your bowl The only other things that we're going to add to our bowl are the butternut squash pieces And that's just because it's okay if those are added prematurely before we actually eat our salad So go ahead and add a few pieces of butternut squash now the pears the bacon the craisens and the toasted pecans Are all going to be backed up separately and added to our salad So I have my little snack size ziploc bags And I'm going to take just a little bit of the pecans here remember this again is eight servings So you want to be aware of how much you're putting in your bag here And then also I'm going to add a few of the reduced sugar craisens to my bag And then I'm going to seal that up and that is going to be just the pecans And the craisens and then I just go ahead and add that Directly onto my bowl of lettuce and squash My other ziploc bag is going to have my two slices Of the center cut bacon and I'm just going to put that directly Into a baggie and I will crumble that and add it to my salad when I go to eat it So that's also going to get added to the bowl And lastly in the third bag, I'm going to just add a couple of slices of my pear And then that's going to go into my bowl So I've got my bacon my pear My craisens and nuts and then the last thing that's going to go in my bowl here is one eighth of the dressing So for the dressing I do have my little reusable cups. I got these at home goods I also have an eighth of a cup measuring Cup here. I'm going to put in about one and a half of those into my salad dressing container And I think that's going to be the perfect amount to make eight salads And then I'm just going to slip that into my bowl. So my salad is ready to go So when I go to eat it, I just put my pears bacon Nuts and craisens and drizzle over my dressing and I am good to go So I'm going to put together the rest of my salads But somehow I knew And maybe so did you But everything would change from now on Yes, bro is my son Is Christmas For part of my snacks this week, I'm going to be making a homemade cranberry nut granola I'll be putting this on yogurt and things throughout the week I've been craving granola and this sounds so good. So let me show you what is in this recipe First you're going to need some pumpkin seeds or pepitas sunflower seeds dry roasted almonds Also some sugar-free syrup Unsweetened cranberry juice concentrate so nothing that has any added sugar rolled oats non-stick cooking spray cinnamon salt Brown sugar alternative of your choice. I'm going to be using sucre and gold This is my very very favorite brown sugar Alternative it tastes like the real thing zero calories zero points I purchased this off of net triton's website the same site that we bought the honey for my lunch recipe So again another great thing to add to your car net triton's website It is linked down in the description box below and then lastly some reduced sugar craisens So let's get started on our granola So the first thing you're going to do is line your baking sheet with some parchment paper We're going to add one third cup of our pumpkin seeds And then we're also going to add one quarter cup of sunflower seeds And we're just going to spread these out and we're going to throw these in the oven at 350 For about 10 minutes until they're nice and toasted in a small sauce pan You're going to go ahead and add in your one third cup of sugar-free maple syrup We're also going to add in half of a cup of our cranberry juice concentrate And we're going to add in the two thirds cup of brown sugar You can see I have two different kinds. I run out of sucran. So I'm using the monk fruit golden as well And then lastly we're just going to add in a little bit of ground cinnamon And you're going to stir this constantly until it is Dissolved the sugar is nice and dissolved and it's going to make kind of a thick syrup cranberry syrup for our granola Go ahead and grab out a medium-sized bowl at our two cups of oats to our bowl We're also going to add our one half of a cup of roasted almonds and a little bit of salt We're going to give this a quick mix. Let's grab our pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds out of the oven And then we'll add those as well So I went ahead and added those roasted sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds to the mix I reduced the heat on my oven to 325 and then the last step is we're going to take our maple syrup cranberry mixture And we're going to go ahead and add it directly here to our oats. Oh Looks so good. We're going to get this mixed together You just want to make sure that everything is nice and coated in that syrup mixture That's what's going to give it that chewy delicious granola texture And then we'll be ready to get this onto a sheet pan and get it into the oven Grab out your sheet pan and your non-stick cooking spray. Give it a nice coating We definitely don't want our granola to stick to our sheet pan And then we're going to go ahead and add this yumminess directly to our pan Spread it out somewhat thin because you do want it to cook all the way through We want it to get nice and chewy and crispy like granola And then we're going to go ahead and put this in our oven at 325 for about 20 minutes Just until it's cooked through then we'll pull it out We'll add our cranberries throw it back in for a few more minutes and we will have WWE friendly homemade granola So I just pulled the granola out of the oven. We're going to go ahead and add in One cup of our reduced sugar craze in so we're going to add that into the mix Of the granola kind of spread that out And then we're going to put this back in the oven for about 10 more minutes until everything is nice and crispy Granola is out of the oven. Yum. Look at this. You guys so Delicious, I'm going to let this cool for a little bit This granola makes 12 servings. I'm going to show you how I'm going to weigh it out So I know exactly what I'm eating per serving So I'm going to let this cool for a little bit and then we'll get this all weighed and measured So we know exactly how much per serving is and I'll give you the smart points All right, so you saw me weigh out my granola So I added both of the grams together and look at this 53.25 grams in a serving So 53 grams of this homemade granola and you guys this is delicious I tried it. It has a little bit of tang of the cranberry, but sweet. It's so good So 53.25 grams is five smart points So this granola makes 12 servings at five smart points per serving Now you can have a little bit over 10 grams for one smart point So that's probably what I will do is measure out 10 grams on top of my yogurt And it will be a one smart point snack Um, well then my yogurt, of course one smart point worth of granola plus the points of the yogurt So how do you recommend this granola? It is delicious and you get a ton for five smart points In fact, let me measure out 53 grams and I'll show you the amount that you receive for five points So here's 53 grams of granola That is a lot. So again, if you weigh out 10 grams, it's one smart point 20 grams is two smart points It's basically one point per 10 grams of granola, but That's a lot for five smart points So here's my snacks for the week. I'm keeping it pretty simple this week. So of course for my morning snack I'm going to be having my built bar. I have this every morning It is the one thing that keeps me satisfied keeps me full It is only three smart points This particular one is coconut almond and if you are an almond joy lover, you are going to love this built bar It literally tastes like an almond joy. It has chunks of coconut chunks of almonds And it is only three smart points. Look at these macros 130 calories 18 grams of protein. So that with the seven grams of fiber five fat Keep you nice and full and there's only three Grams of sugar. So this is one of my very very favorite flavors of built bar This one again is three points all of the built bars are three smart points with the exception of the peanut butter That one is actually four because it is made with organic peanut butter has chunks of peanuts in it. So Delicious, but highly recommend built bar. It's a great on the go snack You can even use it as a meal replacement Delicious my code here on the screen will get you 10 off in free shipping So head over to built bar definitely order the bars. They're so good. They're a staple on really any eating plan They're even keto friendly Ww friendly on all three plans. I love them. I literally eat one every day at least one every single day So head over pick yourself up some built bars. I'm also going to be having a yogurt I've been loving the ciggies as you guys know. This is the zero percent milk fat strained non fat yogurt What I love about this is the taste and the ingredients pasteurized skim milk raspberries cane sugar Fruit pectin live active cultures. That's it. You guys three smart points And what I'm going to do is add a little bit of the granola that I made in meal prep to the top Probably one smart point worse. So then this will be a four smart point snack It'll give me a dose of protein and sweetness from the granola Ciggies yogurt in my opinion, honestly is the best yogurt out there It is so incredibly delicious and the ingredients are stellar So that's going to be a snack and then also just because I'll be out and about with Christmas coming and doing some last minute Shopping and planning for the holidays. I'm going to be having an cafe latte Iconic protein shake. These are so good. They are grass fed There is 20 grams of protein only three sugar 130 calories And two smart points now what is great about this besides the fact that it does have some caffeine in it Is the ingredients in the iconic are so much cleaner and better Than premier and it is also only two smart points just like the premier protein But look at these ingredients just so much better Sweetened with monk fruit ingredients you can pronounce grass fed milk. Absolutely delicious So here's a little bit more about the iconic shakes. I do have a code for iconic I will put it here on the screen definitely check them out They have quite a few flavors if you're not interested in one with caffeine The chocolate and the vanilla are so good. They have a matcha. I mean they have some really fun Protein shake flavors and again, you can throw these in the car They do not have to be refrigerated. You can add them to shots of coffee or drink them by yourself So good. So I'm just going to have one of those on hand as an extra snack and for two smart points You can't beat it. So iconic protein shakes. Siggy's yogurt with granola and built bars.
