I am “Over The Top” for THIS Froyo!

October 5, 2009 by DanicasDaily 12 Comments

Today was a fantastic Monday ~ doesn’t that seem wierd to hear me say that for a “Monday”?  The odd part is I have no real apparent reason LOL.  I started my day off with a fantastic double workout which really set the tone for the day.  I felt amazing after getting in a good sweat session.

After my Power Hour workout, I was pretty much starved!  So, I had a Banana Nut Pumpkin Butter Muffin with a nice smear of Homemade Healthy Pumpkin Butter ~ SO GOOD, I cannot describe it.

I got my protein in the natural way with this amazing Berrylicious Smoothie.

1/2 c TJ’s 0% Greek Yogurt

1/2 c FF Milk

1/2 c Fresh Frozen Blueberries

1/2 c Fresh Frozen Strawberries

1 Tbsp Flax Seed

It was so incredible thick and creamy that I couldn’t drink it on my way to work.  I had to wait until I got a spoon ~ oops!

I wanted salty and crunchy for my mid-morning snack, so I whipped out some Salty Pepper Somersaults.

I had 1/2 the bag as one serving for 3 Weight Watcher Points.  I LOVED the nuttiness of the sunflower seeds with the salt and pepper spices.

I was looking forward to my lunch since I thought of it yesterday.  It is nothing fancy at all and I had to use our super cool bowls at work (don’t mind the mismatching – it all works the same to eat off of.)  I started off with an Herby Salad that I topped with Trader Joe’s Low-Fat Cranberry Walnut Gorgonzola dressing after snapping the picture.

I took a 1/2 c serving of my Crockpot Molasses Baked Beans over 3/4 c Trader Joe’s Organic Frozen Brown Rice….

Mixed it all together and had the perfectly balanced complete meal – so amazing and only 5 Weight Watchers Points!

After lunch, I still wanted something else.  I knew I was full and I had strawberries, but, I think I just wanted something else.  I told my co-worker Starbuck’s – she said Froyo and I said ~ Yup, that sounds the same! 😀

We headed out to the NEW Over The Top Shop!  I heard they had Pumpkin
Froyo
and I was all over getting some of that!

IMG_2903

But, they didn’t have Pumpkin today :(  There were 6 other delicious sounding flavors listed though. No worries, that just means I have to go back!!!

IMG_2902

With fun recipe ideas ~ Love the All Natural Idea!

IMG_2893

Having my own cup and a machine can be dangerous.  The owner was nice enough to give me sample cups to try each flavor ~ It was hard to pick which I wanted.

IMG_2892

Then, I turned around and saw this!  Holy toppings ~ how do you decide when you have this many to choose from…. 

IMG_2894 

Plus a bar filled with caramel, chocolate, marshmallow and more plus COLD  toppings.

IMG_2895 IMG_2896  IMG_2898

IMG_2897

It was really tough, but after about 5 minutes of randomly talking to myself 😀 I picked Fat Free Cake Batter and Fat Free Chocolate Froyo with sprinkles, Heath Bar Crunch and a few Yogurt Chips ~ MMMMMM!!! Total highlight of my day!  I think I could eat FROYO everyday!!!

IMG_2899

When we got back to work, my little “sugar” high kicked in and we kidnapped my other co-worker’s massive zucchini so I could quickly take a picture with it.  Seriously ~ isn’t this the HUGEST zucchini you’ve ever seen?!  Ya, ignore my cheese face smile ~I was laughing way too much when this picture was snapped!   

IMG_2905 

On my way home The Husband informed me he wanted a simple dinner.  I LOVE him when he picks things like this for dinner!

IMG_2907 

This Pacific Foods Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato soup is full of flavor and honestly does not taste like boxed soup at all.  I LOVE the nutritionals ~ it isn’t loaded with fattening cream and you can recognize everything they put in the box.

IMG_2908 IMG_2909 

I topped mine with a sprinkle of shaved parmesan and freshly ground pepper.

IMG_2916 

While the soup heated up, I baked some Whole Wheat Salt & Pepper Pita Chips for dipping.

IMG_2917

Plus peppers cooked in olive oil and sea salt.

IMG_2912 

Dessert Pita Chips just might be my favorite new thing!!!

IMG_2921 

Salted Whole Wheat Pita Chips + Homemade Healthy Pumpkin Butter + 1 Laughing Cow Lite Wedge = LOVE!!! This tasted like Pumpkin Cheesecake!  You can have an entire pita plus 1 LC wedge plus Pumpkin (or Apple Butter if you don’t like Pumpkin – MOM!) for 3-4 Weight Watcher Points.  This is only 1/2 a pita served up.

IMG_2915

All together, I had dinner with my Pumpkin Family while The Husband watched football.

IMG_2910

I made up a POM Peach Passion White Tea Tea spritzer to go with dinner.  It was tasty, but, I am not a big fan of peach so it wasn’t my favorite flavor.  I LOVE the Blackberry POM tea best!

IMG_2926 

I feel like I’ve been typing forever tonight.  I am off to relax with The Husband and read!  Recipes, recipes and more recipes to be posted soon!

NIte!

    Peanut butter froyo is probably my favorite- but oh so many flavors.
    I don’t think I could ever ban froyo, or gelato from my life. ever.
    your pumpkin butter looks mighty good. (on top of froyo? on top of pumpkin froyo?) :))

    My mouth watered at all of the choices to top the froyo. I would be standing there for a while not being able to decide.
    Very impressed with your choice.
