This is one of my favorite light, cool salads for the summer. Easy to make and delicious. I make it real often.
Broccoli Salad 1 Cup = 2 WW points
2 bunches broccoli
1/4 c. raisins
1/2 c. chopped onion
1/2 c. chopped walnut
3/4 c. FF mayo
3 packs Sweet & low
2 Tablespoons vinegar
2 Tablespoons bacon bits (I use oscar meyer)
Small can water chestnuts
Mix together, refrigerator to let flavors blend together
I have another cold sald recipe for curried chicken, I will try to get posted later today.
Everyone have a great day. Chargail

I call this summer fruit salad i get a huge tupperware bowl and cut up a variety of fruits. Usually strawberries, honey dew, canteloupe, blueberries,and raspberries. I even add kiwi. No real recipe just what's available or on sale. I cut up the fruit , sprinkle with poppy seeds(I don't measure adjust to your own taste) and drizzle with a little honey(not gobs) It makes an awesome summer dessert. And we don't have to feel guilty because of all the fruit it is so packed with God's goodness(antioxidants,vitamins) it's low calorie and has a high water content. Oh, I almost forgot I put watermelon in it too.

One of my favorite breakfasts is a smoothie. I often vary on what I put in it depending on what is in season, but my main smoothie that I usually eat is this:

1 whole pineapple, peeled and cored
1 whole orange, peeled
1/2 lemon, peel still on
6 cups fresh baby spinach
12 large frozen strawberries
2 cups wild organic frozen blueberries
2 tablespoons flax seed oil (or ground flax seed if I don't have the oil handy...but this makes it a bit gritty)

Blend pineapple. Add orange and lemon. Blend. Add the spinach. Blend. Add the strawberries, blueberries and flax. Blend.

You can't even taste the spinach! (At least I can't, but I've been adding veggies to my smoothies for a long time, so maybe I'm just used to it!) Even my kids love these!

Someone gave me fresh green beans (from a garden) but I have NO idea how to cook fresh beans (someone said to soak them overnight?). Yeah, I could go back and ask the person who gave them to me but I don't see her that often. I was wondering if anyone on here knew! Thanks!

Tracy, you make me laugh. Here's a recipe for some "sweets" that are clean. Take a bar of chocolate and soak it in very hot water. There ya go! Whatever survives that will be "clean" chocolate. Hahahaha! I don't know about the green beans but I hope somebody answers you because I'd love to know, too!

I am wanting to lose weight but without all the gimmiks. Clean eating helps me keep a healthy attitude about food. Although I haven't been clean eating for very long I love it. I love the magaazine too!
