WIN



I love hummus. I've said this. I love hummus more than ice cream, which good - because I can eat nearly all the hummus I want, and ice cream? On WW? Not so much.

See the little pretzel chip and hummus dip cups in the foreground? DUDE. Portable snack. Portable snack that takes longer to eat than five minutes, will keep me happy for hours and get this...2 POINTS.

Chips. Dip. Two points.

And it comes in at least three flavors.

Welcome to my new afternoon snack.

yes! good stuff. peeps think I'm weird for liking it so much. I was making it myself until my food processor died. Now I just get it at the Middle Eastern market in my neighborhood. Great...now I got a craving and got to get some along with those oil-cured greek black olives.

Albertson's. Costco. Von's. Seriously.

looks like I picked a good week to get a Costco membership!

Looks good. the only one I wouldn't eat would be the olive one. I can't stand olives.

*wry*

Of course, i've just started eating rice cakes (those mini ones) for snacks. flavoured styrofoam, sure, but gets rid of the munchies.

a little pricey though at the regular grocery I think. I saw them at Von's for like 3.29. I think we are going to buy 1, and reuse the container probably. Less waste is good.

Plus the hummus and the pretzel chips are at Costco.

But, the pretzels and the hummus are only 2 pts? How is that because the hummus I have (roasted red pepper) is like, 1 point for 2 tbsp....

Use your slider - hummus normally has a good amount of fiber, so that helps.

80 calories, 6 grams of fat and 1 gram of fiber - 2 points.

I brought some good hummus over to my mom's once, and when she tasted it, she insisted that there must be tons of butter and fat in it. But nope. As a friend of mine once said, hummus is one of the tastiest mysteries on the planet!

ohh, OOK. Sabra Hummus snacks!

but you know... they aren't 2 points.

Not really.

because I, for one, can't bring myself to eat only one pack. *wry grin*

Honest. *blinks big blue eyes at him*

That is AWESOME. I'll have to look for it in a store near me.

How much is 2 points?

You'll be proud of me, I rejoined weight watchers. They have an at work meeting in my office complex for only $11 a week so I ran out of excuses as to why I'm not a member anymore.
