Healthy Extras...

[i heart cherry garcia]

Does anyone know any healthy extras I could try as I always seem to have the same thing - 42g of Weetabix Crunchy Bran or 2 Weetabix and 198g of new potatoes or 2 slices of wholemeal bread.

Also, does anyone know any alternatives to 42g of half fat cheese? I love cheese and would like to try some different cheesespreads.

I don't want to get bored from eating the same things all the time!

Thanks

Here are some ideas. Yesterday healthy b's were:
28g oats+1 scan bran with breakfast
2 ryvitas with lunch (half healthy extra)
1.5 tspns of olive oil with dinner (other half)

Today's was:
1 alpen lite bar (half a healthy extra)
42g branflakes+1.5 dark rye (1 and a half healthy extras)

other ones i have include:
-occasionally 2 slices of a 400g wholemeal loaf of warburtons bread
-5 corn thins
-1 oaty bar
-6 walnuts
-57g reduced fat hummus

as for the cheesespreads, i love the laughing cow triangles spread on ryvita or scan bran. Five are 1 healthy extra A.

Asda do a cereal called Cranberry Wheats. You can have 28g of them for a B extra so you don't get loads but pile a banana, strawberries and raspberries on top and it lasts ages!!! Yum!!!! xxx

I've been using my HEB for magic porridge, 28g of porridge oats with the syn free Onken strawberry yoghurt + chopped strawberries for breakfast. I make it up the night before and take it in a plastic tub to work with me

Occasionally I'll make up a scan bran cake and have it as part HEB and part syns. I usually feel quite fat when I do that though so that's only for special occasions like the weekend lol..

Have you tried puffed wheat? You get so much for your 28g, add some sweetner and its like sugarpuffs! Very yummy and really fills you up!

I like to have 6 whoelgrain crackerberads and extra light laughing cow as my HEs.

You need to have 1 Oat Scan Bran with the puffed wheat dont forget Hun.

If you get the chance, have a look at the food diary section on here, there are loads of ideas in there. My food diary is there and I vary from Red and Green and EE.
