Thanks Sherry!! :)

Kristi, I do something similar to your yogurt bowls. I put 1/2 of a yogurt cup (1 pt) in a bowl, then add 1/3 cup of light cottage cheese (1 pt) & mix it together, then I add 1-2 T of a low point granola (1 or 2 pt) & then add fresh fruit (0 pt) I usually go with blueberries & then sprinkle it with some cinnamon. This is so delicious & filling & keeps you full for a long time. The combination of the yogurt & cottage cheese is a lot of protein. So depending on how much granola you use its 3 to 4 points.

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

ohhhh, I may have to try that!! Sounds delicious!! 😋😋

Hi Kristi, I love your videos. Your elephant ear plants look beautiful. I do have to say I’ve never seen that kind of bread I’m in Northern California & we don’t have it here. Have a wonderful weekend 💜

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Thanks so much, Kim!! I love our elephant ear plants!! :) If you have the Nature's Own sugar-free 100% whole grain, that kind is good and is the same in points as the Aldi kind. :) Have a super weekend! :)

i have loved laughing cow cheese for years. This meal prep is going to be so great for me this week. Thank for the varieties and especially easy meals. We need this sometimes. Our lives get so busy.

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Laughing Cow cheese is so amazing!! I'm glad this meal prep is a good one for you. I absolutely loved it!! So easy and not a lot of ingredients to mess with!! You're right - we definitely need easy sometimes. :) Thanks Brenda!

Hello, hello Kristi, It's warm here (finally). Woohoo, nice walk today. I picked up that turkey piece from Aldi's and it's delicious. Thanks for the heads-up. Everything looks super good, as usual. Have a nice weekend.

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Thanks Barb!! So glad you got to get out for a nice walk!! Glad you like the turkey! Have a terrific weekend, my friend! :)

Yummy looking breakfast and lunch! I make a yogurt bowl similar to that but I also add 1 points worth of low-fat cottage cheese to bulk it up. i don’t add chia seeds though Sometimes I top it with granola, or sometimes a little bit of fiber one cereal. 9 grams is 0 points(of the cereal). I’ve never been a fan of cottage cheese, but I like it this way!

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

I went back and forth between doing the Fiber One or the granola, but decided on the granola this time. I love Fiber One cereal though! I've never thought to try cottage cheese in it! I love cottage cheese so I may have to try that!

[@SnowGardener307Budgets]

More great ideas! That coconut cacao sounds delish! I love the chia seeds in the overnight oats! I am so excited...my KZbin friend Crystal from What was Mommy Thinking sent me a box of treats and it included Lily's Butterscotch chips and rum extract. So I get to try your butterscotch rum overnight oats! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Oh, how awesome!! Hope you like it!! I wish I could find the butter rum extract. I really think I'd like that a little better. Just go very easy on that rum extract - it's one of those extracts that can be very overpowering!! LOL

[@SnowGardener307Budgets]

These are great easy ideas for when we don't have a lot of time!! Love it! Thanks :)

Thanks so much, Sherri!! Agree!! And with me having to work Saturday and then a crazy busy week this week, it was important that I had something prepped, so quick and easy definitely worked this time! :)

Thanks so much Stacey! 😊

I’ve been doing the same with laughing cow, so good, and I’m a mayo lover . Totally ok with no mayo now.

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

It's amazing how you can replace things with it!! The only thing I haven't done yet is BLTs. I always have to have mayo on that, but I may try using the Laughing Cow next time!!

[@angelawebb8945]

I wish I could find those everything but rice cakes but I can't here in our area of Texas

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

That stinks!! They are limited here as well. We can only find them in certain stores.

[@tweetybrd78]

Thank you Kristi for another great food prep video. I still have not attempted them, but need too. Started going to Aldi now too!! Baby Steps for me. :)

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Baby steps is the way to go!! If you just dive into it, you could get overwhelmed quickly. So, just keep doing what you're doing and add little by little! :)

[@mynewL1fe]

I love that Aldi yogurt too.. Thanks for the ideas!

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

You're welcome!! :) That yogurt is a favorite of ours!!

[@ashleyevans580]

I love your bracelet! Every time I see it I want to ask where you got it. Do you mind sharing that?

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Aww...thank you so much, Ashley!! I've actually not taken that off in over two years. I got it from my mother-in-law when she passed away and have worn it ever since. I have no idea where she would have gotten it from, but if I do find out, I'll let you know. :)

[@jillpounds2219]

I never even thought about putting chia seeds in my yogurt. *Mind blown* lol I've only used it in my overnight oatmeal. I pronounce it KU KA O 😊 (not sure if it's right) I've never tried Lavash. Is that at Aldi?

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Thanks Jill!! I love adding chia seeds to things. Adding it to Greek yogurt made it super thick, but I like mine real thick anyway. I bet in regular yogurt it would be perfect!! I actually Googled cacao so I could see how to say it properly!! 🤣🤣 The Lavash brand isn't at Aldi, but they have their own kind called Fit & Active flatbread that scans out the same points. I'm not sure if there are different kinds though so double check. It's just as good though.

[@shirleysteeves4229]

How much vinegar do you add for your vegetable and fruit wash?

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

I usually do one part vinegar to about four parts water, but I just kind of eyeball it.

[@lancemartin4124]

Hi Kristi. General question regarding points and the Crazy Glazy Chicken in this video. How dob you count the points for the marinade? The marinade is not all absorbed into the pork but it has points associated with it. When I add to my tracker for the meal, I come up to 10 points on purple 💜(with modifications due to available ingredients). Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks.

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Hi there! For the recipes that are not my own, I just give the link to the original recipe with the points and calories given on that website. However, I always encourage everyone to figure the points however you would normally figure them (some people count them for marinade, some don't). So, for this one, I gave the points from the original website. Hope that made sense.

[@lancemartin4124]

@@PlanningUsHealthy it does make sense. I am not questioning the original points. More of in general when you are calculating your own points for recipes with marinades, how do you calculate the points for marinade.

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

After I gave my initial response, I went back to my WW app and it looks like when I added the points, it actually came back lower. Mine came back at 5 points per serving because my soy sauce scans at 0. So, for mine, the marinade was only 1 point. For 4 oz uncooked lean pork tenderloin, it's 2 points, and then the rest of the points are the topping. Different brands scan different too though. I'm not sure why yours would come up to 10 points though. That seems high even for different brands.

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

I figured that's what you were asking..lol..so I went and looked at how I had it built in mine. I just replied again. That's so strange why yours is coming out so high.

[@lancemartin4124]

@@PlanningUsHealthy thanks!!

[@samanthakrawetzke6069]

Hey! Quick question.... do you count dried fruit as points? Even if the ONLY ingredient is the dried fruit itself? No extra sugars or anything. I got some from Costco and it scans in at 6 points per serving but I don’t agree...

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

Hmmm....I don't usually eat dried fruits so I can't really say. From what I've read, it's kind of like the smoothie controversy. I think it's because it's so much easier to overeat on the dried fruit as opposed to a regular fruit. I'd say if you don't eat it on a regular basis and you just eat a small amount, it's probably not going to make a big difference. But if you were eating it daily in large amounts, that's probably where the issue would come in maybe.

Do you put your zip locks in the dishwasher?

[@PlanningUsHealthy]

No, the reusable ones can't go in the dishwasher because the seal will not withstand the super hot water (I learned by not reading the instructions and putting it in the dishwasher the first time I got them...LOL). But I just wash them in warm soapy water and hang them in my strainer to dry. :)
