Just made my own hot yogurt mess


Okay, so I did end up trying Sweet Eats' yogurt mess, my own version however. These are my ingredients: blueberry non-fat Fage Greek yogurt, granola, strawberries and peanut butter.

The idea is great, but for Weight Watchers it's a bit higher in point count than I might normally prefer. However, since I slept in, this ended up being brunch for me. 10 points.

I think I prefer Sweet Eats' version with banana though. And where I went wrong on mine was the blueberry flavored yogurt. Plus this was the fat free version which I don't love. Unflavored 2% would be better, as the sweetened blueberry dominated the meal.

What was awesome however, and what made it a "hot mess" was the peanut butter. Though, I would normally go for a lower fat peanut butter, this was all I could get on short notice. I warmed 2 tbsp in the microwave and poured it on top at the end. YUM! Even better than normal, being a warm sauce.

If I decide to make this again, it'll have to be 2% plain yogurt, 1 tbsp perhaps instead of two of light peanut butter (less points), banana, and then either no cereal to cut the points or I might experiment with other options.

But it was a fun experiment, none-the-less! Below is my finished product...


Thanks for the inspiration Sweet Eats.

It's all about white tea for me!


I've never been much of a tea drinker, not until I discovered white tea that is. It's great hot, very mild, but it's even better cold.

Many of the cold teas that you can get in convenience stores have super high sugar counts, but Inko's doesn't. It's healthy and refreshing and great when I'm trying to cut back on soda.

I'm not sure how extensively it's available nation-wide / or even internationally. However, you can buy the different flavors on their website.

And the best part is that they've just started selling larger sizes too. Not cheap but definitely worth it! To really stretch your dollar/calories/points, mix a bit of the tea with some spritzer.
