I'm making a turkey sausage breakfast casserole I was going to do a chicken sausage, but I had ground turkey on hand and with the price of meat I decided to use what I had on hand So we're gonna be using ground turkey. You could also do ground chicken. Let me show you what's in our recipe You're going to need some light shredded cheese some light crescent rolls. These are the 90 calorie from Pillsbury You'll need a brown sugar alternative of your choice as always. I'm using Lakonto golden It is my favorite to me. It tastes the most like regular brown sugar. I just really like it It's a healthier alternative to sugar substitutes. I'll make sure I link Lakonto down below for you with 15% off You're going to need some liquid egg whites a pound of ground turkey or ground chicken Parmesan cheese and some spices to create the sausage. So we'll need some salt and pepper as always I'll link these gravity-fed salt and pepper grinders down below Obsessed with these I got these off of Amazon and then you'll need some sage smoked paprika and all spice and also some crushed red Pepper which I'm omitting because I don't love spice. So let's get started on Breakfast so the first thing we're going to do is put together the turkey sausage So I have a pound of 93% ground turkey. You could also use 99% We're going to add salt and pepper Add a quarter of a teaspoon of allspice one teaspoon of smoked paprika and About a half of a teaspoon of sage two tablespoons of your brown sugar alternative And then mix that all together really well. This is the turkey sausage I added a skillet to the stove top with some non-stick cooking spray We're going to add in the turkey sausage mixture and we're going to cook it until it is completely cooked through This smells so delicious. I cannot even tell you So we are just about ready to start assembling the casserole now that the brown turkey is done cooking So I have a six by nine baking dish. We're going to add the ground turkey to the bottom And then we're going to open up the can of crescent rolls, which is my least favorite part ever Okay, these ones came out the end, which is interesting We're basically going to break our crescent rolls up into pieces And place them right on top of the ground turkey Then we're going to kind of press the crescent rolls down so that they actually have contact with the ground turkey Two cups of egg whites, which is this entire small container or 16 ounces And then I have three quarters of a cup of light shredded cheese and one quarter cup of parmesan And we're going to add that right to the top We're going to put it into a 350 degree oven for about 20 to 25 minutes We want to make sure that the egg whites are cooked through and the crescent rolls The turkey a sausage skillet is out of the oven. This looks So incredibly delicious. It smells Really really good as well. I will go ahead and put points calorie serving sizes here on the screen for you I'm going to pair this with some fruit for a protein packed delicious healthy breakfast For my lunch this week. I am making a low carb ground beef taco bowl The only carbs in this come from the beans, which is a great source of carbohydrates Slow digesting. They even have fiber and protein. So let me show you what's in lunch First you're going to need a green bell pepper half of an onion. I'm going to add some avocado This is an addition if you want to add it same with the salsa You can really add whatever toppings you want to your bowl a pound of 96% extra lean ground beef I'm going to be adding some black beans Taco seasoning salt pepper your favorite greens I'm going to use this romaine up and then I'll be switching over to a mixture of spinach and romaine You could really use whatever greens you want. So let's get started on lunch Go ahead and add your pound of 96% ground beef to a skillet Break it up and we want to make sure that it's cooked thoroughly While the ground beef is cooking We're going to go ahead and chop up the half of an onion and the green bell pepper Once your ground beef is about cooked through any 95% We're going to add in our chopped up green bell pepper and onion and allow those to cook down until translucent Once your veggies are softened. We're going to add a packet of taco seasoning A little bit of water and mix that together allow it to heat through So I want to show you how I plan on assembling the bowls We're going to assemble one that I will actually have for lunch today And then throughout the week all of my components are pre-made. This is really important for prepping So I have my protein source done. I have my carb and additional protein source ready to go My greens all the toppings all the good things that I want to put on my low carb taco bowl So we are going to start with a bed of greens and of course you can use any of your favorite greens This recipe makes four servings total So I'm going to take one quarter of the taco season ground beef and add that to my bowl This is a good amount of the ground beef. I mean, this is really going to give you a big big punch of protein And then I want about a quarter cup of black beans And then I'm going to add salsa salsa is zero points. So go ahead and add as much as you would like I am going to add a little salt and pepper just onto my beans And then right before I eat the bowl, I'll go ahead and slice up probably about a quarter of this avocado I usually just weigh it out in grams on my food scale And then I may even top it with a little bit of sour cream as well But doesn't that look so good? I mean this is packed packed with protein This is a good size serving for the points and calories I will go ahead and put those here on the screen for you and remember you can add whatever toppings You want just really focus on getting in a good source of protein healthy carbs and fiber For a protein packed sweet treat this week. I'm making protein coconut balls. I'm really excited for these I love having these protein balls on hand Pop them in your mouth easy to go quick easy snack. You can take them with you They're portable. They're great for work sports school. So I'm really excited to have another batch this week So let me show you what's in our recipe first. You're going to need some protein powder You can use any protein powder that you want I'm going to go with the vanilla base with my integrated nutrition. I'll link this down below for you You'll need some rolled oats sliced almonds unsweetened coconut flakes Fresh strawberries and some medjool dates. So we're ready to start the protein balls This is super easy. You can do this in a food processor. I did not have a food processor We actually sold it when we moved from washington to arizona. So i'm just going to use my magic bullet This works just as well and it's versatile. I can use this for smoothies for this type of recipe I'll link my magic bullet down below for you guys But what I did is I added one cup of pitted Medjool dates now. Let's talk for a second about the great date debate Some people count points for these some people don't depending on how you search for them in the w w app Some of the dates give you points. Some of them don't I choose not to track dates They are in my opinion a dried fruit without any added sugar So I count them as zero points when you click on the link on my recipe website It is going to show the dates as zero points if you want to add Points for the dates then just go ahead and rebuild the recipe in your app so that it's personalized to you I just want to remind you guys that w w is a tool It is a tool for us to use for weight loss and we can make tweaks and changes And utilize the tool in any way that actually works for us and I have never counted points For dates. So now that we have the great date debate out of the way. Let's get this ready to go So again one cup of pitted medjool dates I'm going to add one half of a cup of rolled oats Three quarters of a cup of slivered almonds I'm going to give that an initial blend before I add in my strawberries and my protein powder Now I'm going to add in my four medium strawberries that I sliced up and then give it another quick blend I'm going to add my one scoop of protein powder and then give it one last blend I went ahead and added a second scoop of protein powder to it once I finished blending it in my magic bullet This protein powder is actually two scoops is a serving and that's also going to help thicken it up a little bit We want it to be kind of a paste type of texture And then we're going to throw this in our refrigerator for about an hour And allow it to firm up a little bit before rolling it into balls one hour later So into a shallow bowl. I put half of a cup of the unsweetened coconut flakes I just pulled the protein ball mixture out of the fridge And then I have a plate here to put them on once we roll them in the coconut So the recipe makes 12 protein balls So we're going to take some of the mixture Roll it into a ball and then we're going to roll it into the coconut flakes and set it on the plate So I just finished the coconut protein balls. These look really really good These definitely could firm up a little bit more So I'm just going to cover them with some saran wrap throw them back into the refrigerator But look how delicious these look with the roll rolled in the coconut 12 protein balls only two points per ball.
