So, if you read my struggle yesterday you know I've got a heavy duty TOM appetite right now... yesterday I did fairly well. I ate more than usual, but it was 97% legal (I started to crash and burn on kiddie candy, but I stopped after three pieces....normaly that stuff doesn't even tempt me!!!). The scale was actually down two pounds this morning from yesterday. I swear I weigh during PMS days just for entertainment. Anyway, had major hunger again this morning, MAJOR peanut butter cravings again. Today I made a smoothie in my magic bullet -- 1 frozen banana, 1 c skim milk, 1 TB vanilla sf syrup, 2 TB PB, -- it was too,too good. It totally nixed my cravings. I am still hoping TOM comes early!!

Hmmm....that DOES sound good. I need to get more creative with my smoothies.


LOL about weighing in pre-TOM just for the 'entertainment' (I do that too)!

Banana peanut butter is my very favorite smoothie. Try throwing a bit of sf caramel syrup in there too!!! It's so good that it doesn't seem legal. I call it dessert and have it at least a few nights a week.

I happened to notice it in one of your journals just later today as a dessert (after I had eaten it for breakfast!!!!).

It was so good. It tasted too good to be true to me, as well! I will keep my eyes open for a bottle of carmel sf syrup. thanks for the tip! I'm saving this as something to treat dh with when his next ice cream attack strikes!! I'm going to make him one of these instead!

eta -- maybe you told me about it earlier -- that's why it "came to me" in my hour of need this morning!! If so -- thanks, I was having killer PB and sweets cravings today...

As much as I love peanut butter with an apple for an afternoon snack, a few days a week I will save up my nut allowance just to have this smoothie at night. Usually it is night-time when I get my real sweet cravings and this always does the trick for me. DH has been experimenting with a mocha cappucino smoothie lately. He's still perfecting that one, but the last few have been awesome if you ask me!!!

Our local Walmart has the sf Davinci caramel syrup in the small bottle. They stock it on the coffee aisle next to all of the creamers. Hope you have some luck finding it. Might be good in a peach smoothie as well...hmmm, may have to try that!!!

Glad the banana PB smoothie saw you thru a rough spot. I know I have days like that too. Where I could eat everything in the whole house until I find the one thing that will satisfy me. The joys of womanhood, right???
