I like that idea! Maybe I could do something monthly on new finds that I've had for that month, and then each January just combine them to show the finds for the year. That's a great idea! I'll work on that. Thanks! 😉💕
You can also make great chips from the Joseph's lavish. Just cut one into rectangle-shaped chips and place on baking sheet, spray very lightly with cooking spray, lightly sprinkle with salt if desired, then place in 350 degree oven for 5-8 minutes, depending on your oven. Watch carefully, they can burn easily. Store in airtight container. Delicious!
Kristi it is so helpful when you tell where you've bought things! I'm shopping more at Aldi lately due to the economy and I'm loving the prices and the quality.
Thanks Karin! I will definitely try to do that more often in these videos. I didn't even realize I was doing it. LOL I just turn on the camera and start gabbing! Aldi has been amazing lately for finds!!
Thanks for the tip of buying frozen avocado! I always waste fresh avocado. I didn't even know you could get frozen. I already purchased some and it worked out great!
CORRECTIONS: The garlic hummus is only 1 point for 2 Tbsp 😋 Also, the boxed pudding is 1 point per serving or 3 points for the entire box. All brands are different though, so always double-check the points in your tracker. Also, I said I like to keep the canned potatoes in the fridge - I meant the pantry. 😉 COMMENT below - what are some of your favorite low-point or low-calorie foods?
First time watching your channel. Thank you so much. What an inspiration you are in sharing with us on WW, all of your 👏 and healthy finds. I agree, this should be a monthly video. Loved it.
Just as a side note, we Canadians do not call ham bacon. We have no idea from where that originated. Bacon up here is the same stuff you folks call bacon.
I agree! I grew up 10 minutes from the Canadian border and never knew why it was called that. Someone once told me that American bacon comes from the belly and Canadian bacon comes from the back (sometimes referred to as back bacon), and that the back bacon originally was imported from Toronto to New York, so it became known as Canadian bacon. Not sure how true that is though.
I might have missed it, but how many daily points are you working with? I just started. Many of the items you suggest still seem high and not worth the points.
I get 23 points a day plus 28 weeklies. I don't normally use my activity points, but I do use my weeklies. But I eat a lot of zero point foods as well.
Zero point yogurt bar: blend up the fat free yogurt with fruit of your choice (I like strawberry) and freeze. If you add cocoa powder for chocolate strawberry yogurtsicle, it’s one point.
I use a lot of the same items as you do. One thing I use from Aldi is their seedtastic thin sliced bread, they have regular sized and thin sliced. It's 2 pts a piece and very hearty and filling. I add 1 pt of avacado to mine!
I would love to see some videos of you making your homemade soup ! I'm always looking for new recipes!! And I have to tell you that you're looking so absolutely gorgeous as always Kristi..!!! Thanks for sharing 👍 always look forward to more excellent videos!!
Thanks! I actually have a few soup videos. If you go to my main page and scroll through the top menus until you see the magnifying glass, you can just put soup in there and it will pop them all up. That's for computer. If you're using a phone, just do a youtube search for Planning Us Healthy soup.
I was wondering have you fone Q and A video? I like to see your pictures and now? I want to know have you lose weight yet? And how long you been trying to lose weight?
Hi there! I did a Q&A a loooong time ago, but it's probably time for another one. So, I have lost weight, but my story is a little different because I've gone through several journeys and I'm not always in weight loss mode. I started WW originally back in 2003 and lost 93 pounds. But I was in my 30s and really didn't learn much about nutrition so I gained the weight back. In 2019 I joined WW online and lost 50 pounds but then gained back about 25 over the next couple years due to Covid and other factors. I went through a period of intuitive eating as well, but determined that just wasn't for me yet. So now I'm back in weight loss mode and have been losing consistently for the past three months, but I'm also watching my macros and keeping track of my protein, and I'm not back to strength training three days a week. :) I think I may have to do a new Q&A soon! Thanks for the idea! :)
@@PlanningUsHealthythank you for responding back. I would to hear your up and down journey with weight lost. I know it not easy things to do but we all have to start somewhere..
Hi, I love that popcorn popper, I use the Brady Street Cheese Sprinkles from Penzeys which has the cheese flavor with a hint a garlic and salt. I made the Salsa Chicken this week and it is really good. Shadow even likes it. I had it on roasted sweet potato one, night, salad another, baked potato another. It is really versatile.😋
I can’t wait to try those avocado chunks I never seem to go thru a whole one before it’s no good and I want to find the Light & Fit Greek protein shake to try too.
I really like the chunks! I still buy avocados for the weekends because I tend to use the whole ones more on the weekends, but the chunks are perfect for the workweek!
Loving binge-watching your videos. Lots of good recipes and tips. I love Skinny Girl salad dressings-especially the Poppyseed flavor 😋 Zero points. Just started WW and enjoying real food again! Thank you for your videos. 😊
Thanks so much Janice!! ❤ And I forgot about the Skinny Girl dressings! You are right. That poppyseed one is sooo good!! I need to pick some up! Thanks! 😉😉
Also: Trader Joe’s has riced palmini & palmini noodles that are zero points. Heinz has a sugar free ketchup and of course all of G Huge’s is delicious. 😋
@@janicebull2741 Love these ideas!! Thanks! I wish we had a Trader Joes!! I see so many grocery hauls from there and I love seeing some of their stuff!
Depending where you are if you’re in the US, Kroger goes by other names. Here in AZ it’s Fry’s, when we were in Cali it was Ralph’s, other places it’s Smitty’s, and so on, so you may have one near you after all.
My WW app says the strawberry banana drink is 90 cal for 1 point. However for non fat. I can’t see non fat on your bottle maybe that’s why it scanned 2
That's strange how it's different for some. Mine scans at 2, but it gives the wrong nutrition facts (it says it's 90 cals but in fact it's really only 80). I figure it's close enough to 1 point so that's what I count it as anyway. LOL
Weight watchers doesn't address those of us on a low sodium diet. Honestly, I cut a ton of sodium out of my diet and I lost 30 pounds in 3 weeks. I buy 0 sodium products and make great italian meals and mexican meals. The only sodium is in the cheese. I know, I know you have to have sodium to live, but you can lower sodium to a healthy level.
That's great that you found something that works for you! Weight Watchers doesn't necessarily address low sodium, but I think it's definitely possible to follow it while on a low sodium diet once you know the foods that are lowest in sodium. Weight Watchers really pushes toward lean meats, fruits, veggies, legumes, etc. That's fantastic you've found what works for you! 😊
Are you referring to the Dannon light and fit yogurt smoothie? If so, it's only 1 point as scanned, meaning the 1 point is per WW and not additional points - most likely because it's a protein yogurt that's just blended into a smoothie texture as opposed to all fruit blended together without yogurt in it. Hope that makes sense.
Ty so much I’m just getting started!! How much have you lost? Love to se before and after. Idk why but it motivates me! I’m scared to do one of me though!
Thanks so much! I know what you mean! It's kind of a long story of my weight loss journey. But as of right now, I'm down 35 pounds. I lost 93 back 20 years ago but gained it back (I was in my 30s and didn't learn anything). I started WW online in 2019 and lost about 50 pounds and then Covid hit and I ended up gaining back about 20 pounds over the next few years. I've gotten back on track this year and am now back at about 35 pounds down total. It's been a journey, but I'm now learning to just take things slow and steady and treat it like a lifestyle and not a diet. :)
Been looking for a low point Caesar. I found the Bolthouse at Target. Have you tried any of the Skinny Girl Dressings. My favorite their honey mustard and poppy seed.
I actually had forgotten all about the Skinny Girl dressings. I LOVE the poppy seed! I don't think I've tried their honey mustard. I'll have to look for it. Thanks Barb!
I have added some stuff on my shop list. I saw this popcorn popper at Walmart for $10. I guess I’ll try air popped popcorn. We love the cheddar popcorn from Aldi (black bag)
wow what a great video friend will be buying mostly all of the items thanks for the lovely contents except for buying the chocolate items but I will find some replacements thanks Chrissy u always have so much good content and items on ur channel looking for to getting the items thanks so much hello to you and all the family don't forget the little doggie In God we trust God blesses us all!!!!!!!
I just purchased the yogurt to try. I always buy the light and fit Dannon yogurt. I found the Aldi's yogurt to be very tart compared to the Dannon. Are the Dannon Protein drinks in the same section as the yogurts?
I would agree with your statement about the Aldi ones being more tart. I like both, but prefer the flavor of the Dannon. I believe the protein drinks are in the same area as the yogurt - I ordered them online so I'm not 100% sure. They were cold when I got them, so I'm sure they're with the yogurt.
Where were the egg rolls from? Just a little friendly tip if you take that sign out the back it will focus on the items showing they were a little fuzzy bc of the sign.
I believe I got those from Aldi or Walmart. And you are absolutely right! The picture was too close so my camera kept focusing on that instead of the items. Thank you! 😊😊
The brown rice has whole grains in it and isn't as refined as white. But I don't care for it on its own like I do white rice. I usually use brown in recipes or mixed with something. I eat white rice probably just as much as brown. I also have ulcerative colitis, so there are times I can only eat white rice anyway. You're so right - the texture of the white rice is so much better.
Some really good suggestions. Especially liked the Dash seasoning and I agree that it is usually quite salty so this is going in my shopping cart the next time I get groceries.
You're welcome! Sometimes I feel like diabetics feel a little left out with this program, so I try to mention it when I'm having fruit or cottage cheese, etc. :)
I like the caramel and also the white cheddar ones. I like the plain ones to use for the peanut butter cups or with peanut butter banana. But I agree - the plain ones by themselves don't have much flavor at all.
They're pricey, but when I just have to have a candy bar, I love Built bars, specifically the chocolate chip cookie dough. There's lots of sale codes and deals out there to get them cheaper. They range from 3-5 points depending on the flavor. Cookie dough is 4.
Hi Nancy! It's basically baked pancakes, I guess you could say. I have some recipes for it on my website planningushealthy.com or you can search Planning Us Healthy pancake bake on youtube and it should bring up videos. I have quite a few meal prep videos where I make different kinds.
I love having whole can potatoes in cabinet. I drain and rinse them then boil them until they are a little more tender. I then drain water and cool potatoes and put them in my homemade potato salad. And I never have to worry buying a 5-pound bag of fresh that can go bad before me, and hubby get eaten. I love Ole Extreme wraps too for sandwiches. Adding some spring mix greens, tomatoes, chickpeas for sandwich I like. I love adding salsa to my green salads. Thank you so much for this wonderful information. Love from Ky.
@@PlanningUsHealthy I just rinse off water they are canned in and then add them to fresh water in pan. Boil them to tenderness you prefer for potato salad then drain and chill. I love the convenience having them on hand.
Hi there, as I have told you before I don't do Weight Watchers. It seems like a lot of work counting the points. But I enjoyed this video very much! Very good tips! Do you mind saying how much weight you have lost by doing Weight Watchers?
Thanks so much, Sis!! It's a little bit of a round robin, I guess you could say. LOL I lost about 50 pounds in 2019. Then during 2020 and 2021 was when I got hit with Covid and a bad flare and ended up putting back on about 20 pounds over the 2 years (menopause, meds, and all sorts of things all at once). In 2022 I decided to put my app in "maintain" - at that point, I wanted to work on just maintaining my current weight and not losing, and it worked. I'm now back in weight loss mode and down 7 pounds since restarting weight loss mode at the beginning of the year.
Some great items and ideas. I love to stir in a spoonful of fat-free cottage cheese, fat-free Greek yogurt, ricotta, goat cheese, laughing cow cheese or hummus into my eggs. Just a spoonful or 1 wedge of laughing cow. They all add a creaminess, flavor and make my eggs extra fluffy. For most of them it also adds extra protein. I've also stirred in some spinach dip into my eggs, not always the healthiest option, but just a spoonful adds lots of flavor and changes up my eggs. I eat eggs pretty much every day, so anything to help change it up a little. For salad dressing: hummus mixed with fat-free plain yogurt or cottage cheese and I'll mix it in a food processor to make it smooth. I've also used silken tofu and made my own homemade dressing. Caesar 1 block silken tofu 1 Tbs Dijon mustard 1 Tbs capers 1/2-1 tsp lemon juice Garlic powder or minced garlic to taste Onion powder Salt and pepper to taste Nutritional yeast Blend in a food processor until smooth. So good. Also add any powder dip mixes with the silken tofu. I did a homemade onion dip Onion dip 1 block silken tofu 1 medium onion, carmelized in non-stick spray. Chives, fresh or dried Fresh green onions Onion powder Pinch celery salt Pinch garlic powder Salt and pepper to taste Carmelize the onions in non-stick spray over medium low heat. It takes time but us worth it. Once cooked, allow to cool slightly. Everything goes into a blender or food processor until smooth. My mom is not a tofu fan and it shocked her that I made this dip with tofu
Enjoyed your video and got some new things to try. I discovered this not long ago at Walmart for popcorn. It's Kernel Seasons Movie Theater Butter Flavored Spritzer and it zero points and helps the popcorn seasoning you mentioned stick. Also I like the idea of the frozen cholate peanut butter rice cakes. My daughter show this for a rice cake dessert. You use a chocolate rice cake spread cool whip on it and top with cut up strawberries. I think it is 3 points and good!
Thanks so much, Lora 😊 I wanted something for Valentines and couldn't decide between bright red or hot pink so I told the nail tech to pick and that's what he did. ;)

I sure do! Just pour the popcorn in and that's it. I don't drizzle butter or anything in there. Works perfect!
How many points do you add for blended fruit for the fruit smoothie?
Are you referring to the Dannon light and fit yogurt smoothie?

Most of the sugar free BBQ sauces have sucralose so I can't eat them, but Kroger has a 50% less sugar BBQ sauce that is great.

Thanks so much, Lori! 💕
Thank you so much. So many great ideas
You're so welcome! Thanks Morgan! :)
The flavored rice cakes are so much better
I like the caramel and also the white cheddar ones. I like the plain ones to use for the peanut butter cups or with peanut butter banana. But I agree - the plain ones by themselves don't have much flavor at all.
This was great! Thank you!
Thanks so much! 😊
They're pricey, but when I just have to have a candy bar, I love Built bars, specifically the chocolate chip cookie dough. There's lots of sale codes and deals out there to get them cheaper. They range from 3-5 points depending on the flavor. Cookie dough is 4.
Thanks so much, Joanna! I haven't had a Built bar in years! I may have to check them out again.
Just saw double choc and cookies & cream at walmart

What is a "pancake bake"? Thanks.
Hi Nancy! It's basically baked pancakes, I guess you could say. I have some recipes for it on my website planningushealthy.com or you can search Planning Us Healthy pancake bake on youtube and it should bring up videos. I have quite a few meal prep videos where I make different kinds.
This was a great video by the way thank you very much!
Thanks so much! So glad you enjoyed it! :)
I enjoy your videos , you are calm and just make things easy to understand . Keep making videos !!!
New to program, great info ty
So glad it was helpful. Thanks so much for watching. 😊
I love having whole can potatoes in cabinet. I drain and rinse them then boil them until they are a little more tender. I then drain water and cool potatoes and put them in my homemade potato salad. And I never have to worry buying a 5-pound bag of fresh that can go bad before me, and hubby get eaten. I love Ole Extreme wraps too for sandwiches. Adding some spring mix greens, tomatoes, chickpeas for sandwich I like. I love adding salsa to my green salads. Thank you so much for this wonderful information. Love from Ky.
Tamson!! I never thought of using them for potato salad!!! Genius! I am going to give that a try! Thanks so much!
@@PlanningUsHealthy I just rinse off water they are canned in and then add them to fresh water in pan. Boil them to tenderness you prefer for potato salad then drain and chill. I love the convenience having them on hand.
I really enjoyed this video!
Thanks so much, Holly! :)
I’m in Colorado and, sadly, we do not have Aldi’s here😢😢😢
Oh, that's too bad! 😥 I assumed they were everywhere.
We don't either. I've never heard of it other than TH-cam lol
No Aldi in Arkansas either 😢

Where do you get the good culture cottage cheese ?
I’m new to your channel & these items are great! Now I want to go watch your previous videos like this one! 🤗

Hi there, as I have told you before I don't do Weight Watchers. It seems like a lot of work counting the points. But I enjoyed this video very much! Very good tips! Do you mind saying how much weight you have lost by doing Weight Watchers?
Thanks so much, Sis!! It's a little bit of a round robin, I guess you could say. LOL I lost about 50 pounds in 2019. Then during 2020 and 2021 was when I got hit with Covid and a bad flare and ended up putting back on about 20 pounds over the 2 years (menopause, meds, and all sorts of things all at once). In 2022 I decided to put my app in "maintain" - at that point, I wanted to work on just maintaining my current weight and not losing, and it worked. I'm now back in weight loss mode and down 7 pounds since restarting weight loss mode at the beginning of the year.
@@PlanningUsHealthy Oh my goodness 50 pounds ? That's great! Thank you for sharing that. Maybe I should be doing WW,lol
@Planning Us Healthy that's great! I just joined tonight..I struggle more with keeping weight out so I'm glad ur maintaining!!!
Some great items and ideas.
I love to stir in a spoonful of fat-free cottage cheese, fat-free Greek yogurt, ricotta, goat cheese, laughing cow cheese or hummus into my eggs. Just a spoonful or 1 wedge of laughing cow. They all add a creaminess, flavor and make my eggs extra fluffy. For most of them it also adds extra protein.
I've also stirred in some spinach dip into my eggs, not always the healthiest option, but just a spoonful adds lots of flavor and changes up my eggs. I eat eggs pretty much every day, so anything to help change it up a little.
For salad dressing: hummus mixed with fat-free plain yogurt or cottage cheese and I'll mix it in a food processor to make it smooth. I've also used silken tofu and made my own homemade dressing.
Caesar
1 block silken tofu
1 Tbs Dijon mustard
1 Tbs capers
1/2-1 tsp lemon juice
Garlic powder or minced garlic to taste
Onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Nutritional yeast
Blend in a food processor until smooth. So good.
Also add any powder dip mixes with the silken tofu. I did a homemade onion dip
Onion dip
1 block silken tofu
1 medium onion, carmelized in non-stick spray.
Chives, fresh or dried
Fresh green onions
Onion powder
Pinch celery salt
Pinch garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Carmelize the onions in non-stick spray over medium low heat. It takes time but us worth it. Once cooked, allow to cool slightly. Everything goes into a blender or food processor until smooth.
My mom is not a tofu fan and it shocked her that I made this dip with tofu
Wow! These are some GREAT suggestions!! Thanks so much! 😀
Enjoyed your video and got some new things to try. I discovered this not long ago at Walmart for popcorn. It's Kernel Seasons Movie Theater Butter Flavored Spritzer and it zero points and helps the popcorn seasoning you mentioned stick. Also I like the idea of the frozen cholate peanut butter rice cakes. My daughter show this for a rice cake dessert. You use a chocolate rice cake spread cool whip on it and top with cut up strawberries. I think it is 3 points and good!
Oh, I need to look for that spritzer!! Thanks so much forr that! And I love your daughter's idea too!! I will have to try that one. Sounds delicious!!
So many great ideas! Shopping today and needed this. Love your nail color!
Thanks so much, Lora 😊 I wanted something for Valentines and couldn't decide between bright red or hot pink so I told the nail tech to pick and that's what he did. ;)
