Avocado & Greek Yoghurt Dip With Home made Tortilla chips

Chips & dip is a wonderful combination, great for parties, for snacks, nibbles for watching a movie. Unfortunately they are typically very high in calories and therefor not so great for us weight watchers. I have come up with a wonderful chip & dip combination that wont break your Pro Point bank. And if I do say so myself it's absolutely delicious!

My Weekly Treat Box

This week I have made myself a treat box for my 49 weekly Pro Points. I discussed this idea in my classes this week and got a great response. So I am putting my words where my mouth is and doing it myself. I have let me snacking and picking get a bit out of control this summer so the idea behind this box is that it will keep my snacking under control. I can go to the box whenever I want and take something out and its counted for from my 49, once the box is empty my 49 Weekly Pro Points are gone and its tough luck after that.


I want the box to last the entire week, I have filled it with my favourite treats, choosing as many low Pro Point things as possible to make it stretch further. I got 17 treats in mine, 2 for each day with 3 extras for emergencies.



My box includes

1 x Original wham Bar - 3PP
1 x Cola Wham Bar - 3PP
2 x Double Dips - 2PP each
2 x Curly Wurly - 3PP each
2 x Skinny Dairy Milk Bar - 3PP each
1 x Maltesers Bag - 5PP each
1 x Daim Bar - 4PP each
3 x Mini Haribo Bags - 2PP each
2 x Skinny Cox Ice Cream - 2PP each (I put a paper voucher in the box for each of these)
2 x Oreo Snack Packs - 4pp Each


If picking & snacking are one of your issues then why not join me and make your own 49 treat box. You can put whatever you fancy in, wine, beer, crisps even make a coupon for your favourite take away!
