Happy Friday all! I am super glad the weekend is almost here. Last night’s dinner was pretty uneventful and I didn’t take a picture ~ 2 kashi blueberry waffles and a Sargento Low-Fat Colby Cheese. I woke up this morning STARVING and ready to dig into the fantastic breakfast I had planned.
Lemon Meringue Pie Greek Yogurt
1 c Trader Joe’s 0% Greek Yogurt
1 tsp Trader Joe’s Lemon Curd, 1/2 stirred in, 1/2 swirled on the top
1 Tbsp Kashi Honey Flax Go Lean Crunch
4 Weight Watcher Points and totally AMAZING!!!! I honestly pondered licking the bowl :D
Here is a little bit about the products I used. For those wondering the “thickness” of the TJ’s Yogurt ~ Check it out – it’s as thick as sour cream if not thicker.
I LOVE their lemon curd – a little goes a LONG way and it tastes just like the pie filling in lemon pie. Sweet, tangy and a little buttery.
It’s really thick and creamy….if you are a lemon person, you will LOVE this.
A little stirred in and a little swirled…
Topped with some crunchiness……
I also had a 1 Weight Watcher Point toasted Apple Berry Vitatop.
All toasty and extra crunchy ~ I LOVED this and all the fruitiness – berries & apples – YUM!. It was great by itself.
But, even better when topped with some Lemon Meringue Pie Greek Yogurt.
All together with my “running bunny” Morning Burst! I am hoping that bunny rubs off on me through osmosis LOL.
It was a fantastic way to start my Friday! I will definitely make up for no fruit in my breakfast at snack time since it’s Farmer’s Market Friday ~ Yeah!!!

ReplyDeletemmmm i forgot how much i loved lemon curd! i'm copying you!
ReplyDeleteah-ma-zing!
ReplyDeleteThat lemon meringue yogurt looks so yummy! I'll have to look for that TJ's lemon curd. I love that AppleBerry vita, too :D
ReplyDeleteGREAT idea for the lemon curd! I love lemon curd, but short of baking with it, I can never figure out what to use it in. Will be trying this out asap.
ReplyDeleteJess ~ You are totally going to fall in love with TJ's - they have so much cheap and amazing stuff.
ReplyDeleteC.G. ~ I totally agree with you!
The Actor's Diet ~ Awww - Glad I could give you an idea. Let me know what you think.
Jenny ~ this might just be a fun sub for your banana.
Anne ~ The lemon curd would be awesome in your parfaits from a change in pumpkin.
ManoloMandi ~ I LOVE using things like lemon curd and jams to flavor yogurt - a little goes a long way and it's much healthier than the pre-sweetened versions.
I've lived near a Trader joes for about 20 years. It is truely a special place. I believe just shopping there will increase ones life expectancy.
