Can you taste Heaven?

I do believe I can!  Omigoodness!  I so enjoyed this new addition.  No, really, I was beside myself!  And the fact that no one else in the house enjoys the key ingredients only made it taste better because I'd never have to share <insert evil grin> !

No rest for the wicked today.  It's a working day but armed with this baby, I am GOOD TO GO!  Do I sound excited?  I really, really am!  Heck, this one would be great on the beach too!

Heaven In A Cup

1 cup Coconut Dream (original, unsweetened)
100g Liberty Greek Coconut Yogourt (that's the entire contents of the little cup pictured above)
1/2 cup pineapple (frozen)
Blend and enjoy.
That's 4.2 points of ABSOLUTE GOODNESS

Really, that's all it is and you'll feel like you're in Heaven (or some tropical paradise).  It comes out thick and rich and it really fills you up.

See?  The straw stands up with no help at all.  Thick and delish!

This weekend also brought about another discovery.  I love sweets (that's not the discovery - just pointing it out) but can't eat them because sugar for me is a trigger food.  We'll talk trigger foods tomorrow as I think we all have them but this essentially means that the more sweets I eat, the more I want, the more I crave and of course, the more I eat. So I have no choice but to avoid them.

As I flitted my way down the grocery aisles (I do that a lot - flit and grocery shop) I fell upon figs and dates.  I LOVE dates.  Always have (my grandmother made a mean, high fat, loaded with sugar and all things bad Date Square).  Geeez they were good! 

Did you know that 6 dates are only 2.2 points?  Those little guys pack quite the sugar rush and guess what?  6 is enough!  This is a GOOD thing!

Now to the best of my knowledge I have never tried a fig in my entire life.  Seriously.  Definitely not in its pure form anyways.  Picked up the box to discover that these suckers pack a walloping 5 grams of fibre per serving!  I had no choice but to bring them home :-)

I was not disappointed!  3 figs for 1.4 points and they are filling!  And the best is, again, no triggers!  If you haven't tried them, do!  You won't regret it!

Off to work but check back tomorrow to really get into trigger foods and I'll post a brand new recipe!  See you then.  Stay safe.
