Delicious Yam Puree Recipe

Yams don’t need to be loaded with butter to taste good. In fact, the addition of fat free butter spray, Splenda, and cinnamon makes this concoction taste like a dessert!  This Yam Puree recipe is one I NEVER get tired of eating.

 

Ingredients

  • 3 large Yams (sweet potatoes),

  • Splenda,

  • Liquid, fat-free butter spray

  • Cinnamon (optional)

 

Directions

  • Bake 3 (or more) yams.
  • Remove the skin and mash thoroughly in large bowl (electric beater works best).

  • Add Splenda packets to flavor (5 packets per yam is what I use).

  • Spray on fat-free butter to flavor.

  • Add Cinnamon if desired.

  • Mix all ingredients until thoroughly blended.

  • Weigh out your portion and enjoy!

 

*If you are in a hurry, you can save time by cooking the yams in the microwave. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the yams, but 6 minutes is typically a good starting point.

Tuna Salad Sandwich

 

Here’s a healthy way to enjoy a classic recipe that’s typically loaded with fat.  Not only is this recipe good for you, but its prep time is also minimal – well under five minutes.  This serving size would actually be perfect for a female.  You men may want to use a can and a half of tuna and four pieces of bread to add about 17g protein and 20g of carbs.

 

To really individualize this recipe, let your imagination run wild.  You can add all sorts of vegetables, spices, or seasonings to this mixture to dramatically vary the taste. Personally, I like adding black pepper and mustard.

 

Ingredients

  • 1 can (6oz) Chunk Light Tuna in water
  • 3 tbsp (50g) Fat Free Mayonnaise Dressing
  • 2 slices of Light Wheat Bread
  • Add bell peppers, onions, or other vegetables as desired

 Directions (more…)
