7 DAYS OF BOWLS! Healthy Meals I Eat to Lose Weight | WW Blue

i don't have like the whole oops hey everyone and welcome to my channel i'm nikki and today's video i'm really excited to make because i have just been getting so much great feedback about the bowls you guys really enjoy making them they really are something so simple and filling to make i've just been making them throughout my journey and come up with so many different variations that i want to share them with you so this video is going to be a week's worth of bowls i'm going to do seven different variations of my bowls that i like to make and it'll just be throughout the week as i make different ones um i have seven different types that i'm gonna make and i'll record myself making them explaining them and all the ingredients that i like to use and i try to make them like different themes so i have like mexican greek poke bowl a stir-fry bowl an italian bowl a burger bowl and then a breakfast bowl so that's what we're going to be doing for this video if you enjoy it go ahead and give it a like and subscribe to my channel and let's go ahead and get started with today's lunch bowl so i have another video that explains like a lot of the ingredients i use and three like specific types of bowls that i like to make so i can link that one down below but like i said this one's just gonna go way more in detail and a lot of questions that i got on the first video i made or about which bowls i use so this is the one i definitely use the most and then there's also this one which is a lot bigger if you can tell so i'd like to spread the rice out a lot more on this one but both of these i just got from target and i want to say this was literally three dollars like they are very cheap i just buy one i don't have like the whole set of them so i just buy one bowl and that's my bowl that i make for lunch every day but anyway i'm gonna go with the smaller one today so i'm just gonna walk you through what i'm putting in the italian bowl today and then i'm just gonna show you how i do it okay so the first ingredient that i always use except for one of the bowls i'll probably use hash browns for the breakfast one but i always have some jasmine rice made in the fridge and if i don't i also use the trader joe's organic rice that's frozen i just have regular rice that i make in bulk and i weigh out the serving that i use and i'll show you how i do that then for today's this is the meat that i found that i want to use so this is spicy italian chicken sausage from trader joe's and it's three smart points for a link then i'm also going to be using some of these trader joe's tomatoes and what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna just actually chop up some zucchini cook it in a skillet and then add the tomatoes in and that way that'll also be able to be used for a mexican bowl later in the week then i also have some reduced fat mozzarella which is two small points for the serving i use i have some cooked peppers as well that i already sauteed peppers and onions this bowl will end up being nine smart points on the blue plan because i'm gonna be using four smart points worth of rice so let's go ahead and get started [Music] and then i remember that i had half a red onion in the fridge so i'm also going to use that as well with the zucchini and the tomato mixture [Music] okay so i have my zucchini and my onions cooking on here and then i'm also going to use a little bit of this seasoning this is just a mccormick garlic onion pepper and salt so covers all grounds there and just go ahead and use some of that to season up the veggies and then i also have the can of tomatoes that i strained a little bit there's a little bit of liquid in there but i'm just gonna toss those in and this smells like pizza right now it smells so good so this is just a really good mix of veggies that'll fit well with the italian toppings so when i make my bowls if i have any cold ingredients that i'm reheating that were already in the fridge i pretty much assembled that part of the bowl first so like the rice was cold and then i also had these peppers in there that were cold so i'm just gonna go ahead and put those on and then when i heat up the rice in the microwave it'll heat the peppers up as well sometimes i'll have other ingredients maybe like the zucchini was already cooked before and then i would put that on and microwave it as well but this is what needs to be cooked then the rest of the ingredients are already heated up so i'll just add those on as i go so let me heat this up for like a minute okay so now i have my rice heated up my pepper mixture heated up i'm gonna go ahead and i already cooked the chicken sausage whatever the instructions said for a minute or whatever in the microwave so that's my chicken sausage now then this is my nice zucchini tomato mixture and i'm just going to go ahead and add that in and then the last thing is this reduced fat mozzarella which i'm also going to weigh out the serving and every time i use shredded cheese i use 28 grams which is usually if it's a reduced fat cheese two small points if it's a regular cheese three smart points okay so then this is my finished italian bowl so like i said this is nine smart points for the entire thing look at how much food that is like it is heavy and it is filling so many veggies you still get to meet some cheese it's just such a good meal so four smart points for the serving of rice i use i use 120 grams two smart points for the cheese that i used i use 28 grams then these two things are both zero smart points so that doesn't matter and the sausage is three smart points so nine smart points on the blue plane [Music] okay so i'm on to the next bowl it's a new day i just got done skating that's why my face is so red but today is the greek bowl and i'm so excited because that's definitely my favorite one out of all of these this is the one i've eaten the most and i just can't get enough of it so i'm gonna go ahead and get started and tell you the ingredients that i'm going to be using and then i'm going to show you how i assemble the bowl so i'm using the bigger one today and i have a nice base of rice i already weighed it out and i did 150 grams which is five smart points sometimes i switch between four or five or six smartpoint servings and yeah so the meat or protein for my bowl today is going to be turkey burgers i just made a big batch of them on the grill the other day and it's so nice to just have them in the fridge like this and it took me like 10 minutes so turkey burgers these are zero smart points because i use 99 lean turkey lots of veggies in this one and that's why i love it and they're all like my favorite veggies so it's even better my favorite thing is these roasted red peppers and zero smart points yeah i don't even have to really cut these up they're already in like good enough chunks so i just put them directly in the bowl i also had some zucchini and peppers made so i'm gonna use some of that mixture so we get this giant thing of artichoke cards from sam's club and these are so good on it so those are my veggies and then i also like to use some feta cheese today i'm going to be using a half ounce so half a serving which is one smart point and then my favorite favorite dip out of all of them this is the spinach parmesan taziki from aldi and i'm going to use two tablespoons of that for two smaller points so let's get this bowl together [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] okay so here is my finished greek bowl and this one if you're gonna make it i highly recommend you get the roasted red peppers feta and artichokes try it for yourself i think it's just worth getting a few specialty ingredients if you want and it's so nice to just have them in the fridge like the roasted red peppers and the artichokes less than the jars cucumber i don't usually have on hand so that's one thing i just have to make sure i have but i don't always include it in the bowl anyway and then i always have to have my tzatziki and i've just been able to keep fat on hand and i always have veggies and then yeah any meat really works so highly recommend this one this one is definitely my favorite bowl so it's a total of five smart points for the rice two smart points for the tzatziki and then that's only one smart point worth of feta cheese i weighed out a half ounce and it looks like so much more so when you really crumble it up and spread it out it is a good amount of cheese and yeah it's worth it so this whole bowl is only eight smart points on blue [Music] [Music] okay so i just got back from the gym and we are going to have dinner and what we're doing today is a burger bowl which i actually haven't made this one before this is one i've been wanting to make because i just feel like it'll be good i don't know with the rice if it'll be like a weird combo but we're just gonna try it because i'm always trying to find new bowl ideas okay so for this bowl we are going to start with i'm using my big bowl today we're going to do a base of rice and i'm going to use a five smartpoint serving which will be a cup but i also i weigh it in grams on my scale then i made a bunch of extra turkey burgers so we're gonna each have a turkey burger in ours and that's zero smart points i have these really flavorful garlic dill pickles that we're gonna have these are gonna be zero smart points for the serving we're using cut up tomato zero smart points i'm gonna saute an onion a red onion for zero smartpoints and then some shredded lettuce for zero smartpoints then we're also gonna make some turkey bacon which each slice is one adam's gonna have three slices i'm gonna have two so two smart points and then i'm gonna make like a burger sauce so there's so many different recipes online there's so many different ways you can make like a special burger sauce but i'm just gonna try to put some stuff that we like and see how it goes so i'm gonna use some of this no sugar added ketchup some light mayo this is like my favorite relish this is the famous dave's spicy signature spicy relish i'm gonna use some cayenne pepper and then also some garlic salt and then maybe a little bit of salt and pepper but we'll taste it to see so that is everything i'm going to be putting in these burger bowls and yeah i'm excited to see how they turn out like i said we haven't done this one before so this one will be good it'll have a good amount of protein and veggies and yeah let's go ahead and get started so we were actually out of jasmine rice so i had to make some in their rice cooker fresh so we're going to be using that then we just lay our turkey bacon out on a plate with a paper towel and put another paper towel on top of it and throw in the microwave until it's nice and crispy how we like it uh you can also air fry it we do that sometimes but i'm just gonna microwave it today and then i'm also gonna throw the turkey burgers in the microwave and cook them for like a minute and then they should be good that's all i'm gonna do to reheat the burgers and then all the veggies are gonna be cold except for the the onion i'm gonna go ahead and cook up on the stove [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so this is how the sauce turned out and i actually just used the ww recipe builder to see how many points it was so it's six points for the whole serving i'm just gonna split it evenly between me and adam so we're each gonna have three points worth of sauce and then that will be everything okay so here's the final bowl so the base is just five smart points of jasmine rice that we just made then we have the turkey burger for zero points the grilled red onion for zero tomato for zero pickles for zero and the shredded lettuce for zero i have two pieces of turkey bacon for two smart points and then the sauce is three smart points so this entire bowl is ten smart points for dinner update on the burger bowl because i know this was like the most requested bowl it is so good i have to say i made the sauce really spicy because of the cayenne pepper and then the spicy relish so i'm kind of like downing water now it's pretty spicy but this is way better than i actually expected i didn't know if the lettuce would be weird on there and stuff but it was like the perfect amount of sauce the onions are so good and then i'm so glad we added the turkey bacon we were thinking about adding cheese but really it does not need it so very very good this is this might be one of my top ones just got back from skating and i'm gonna make dinner for us and we're doing mexican bowls today so mexican bowls are so easy to just like load with veggies there's so many good veggies that go with the mex can taste and just yeah it's so easy to throw a bunch of veggies in here and really make it this is probably the most filling bowl that i always make i already have my big bowl and i did a base of five smart points worth of jasmine rice and it's cold and like i've mentioned before i'm going to put the cold ingredients on first heat that up and then as the hot ones are done i'm going to top the bowl with it but i always put all the cold ingredients i'm reheating in the bowl throw the microwave all together i don't like heat up in different containers and stuff it just saves a bunch of containers and makes it easier so i have that so the cold ingredients i'm gonna be putting in i have some tomatoes and zucchini and onion from one of the other bowls that is that's gonna go really well with this that's the only thing i really have to reheat because the other stuff i'm making so if the airfryer full of chicken you can't really see i just use the tyson naturals grilled chicken nuggets and those are zero smart points super flavorful super good in the air fryer i use them the most in my bowls and wraps and i just highly recommend them they're kind of hard to find but that's definitely my favorite chicken to use for like bowls and wraps so i have the tyson chicken the zucchini and tomato mix then i'm also going to make a mix of some fire roasted corn with some pinto beans and these are organic so both of these are zero smart points so i'm just gonna strain both of these and then really all i do is i put it in a saucepan on the stove i mix it together and i just heat it up and that way i just have some heated up beans and corn mixture it's really good sometimes i even add some like seasoning into it but you don't even have to do that but that's just a good way to get the corn and beans in the bowl then i'm also going to go ahead and just cut up some peppers and cook those on the stove i'm going to use some of the trader joe's queso cheese dip trader joe's garlic chipotle salsa some daisy light sour cream and then i'm gonna top it with some sliced jalapenos so [Music] so here i have the corn and bean mixture cooking and like i said i just have it on a low heat and instead of putting any seasoning on anything i actually just put a little bit of this taco sauce that i really like in there just to give it a little bit of sauce on it but not much [Music] [Music] and then we're just going to finish this queso off so i just heated it up in the jar in the microwave and this is the queso from trader joe's [Music] so this entire bowl is going to be we got five smart points for the serving of jasmine rice one smart point for the serving of trader joe's queso and then one smart point for the sour cream everything else is zero smart points the corn beans zucchini onion tomato chicken the salsa and the peppers everything else is zero smart points so super filling this is what i mean when i talk about meals like basing them around zero point foods because like this is only seven smart points for the whole thing but look at all those zero point foods and it's gonna be really filling and nutritious and i'm not gonna feel like garbage after eating it so i'm excited to mix it all together this is one of my favorites to mix with the sour cream and the queso and the rice it's just so good so this is it and i almost forgot to add on my jalapenos which those are zero smart points as well okay so we are going to make another bowl today and it's actually lunch time we're gonna make this for breakfast but we're always like way behind so for lunch we're actually gonna make a breakfast bowl and i haven't made this one before either but i wanted to come up with seven different bowls so that's what we're doing this will be the only bowl that i'm making that doesn't have rice as the base so for the base i'm just gonna use these simply potatoes shredded hash browns and i actually already weighed out our portions that i'm going to be cooking so i have 150 grams wait out for each of us and then i'm going to cook it and then put it in our bowl i'm going to cook them separately so i have them weighed out 150 grams is three smartpoints on blue so it'll be a three point base then we're going to do some over easy eggs some cooked up i already have some peppers cooked and i'll probably just cook this container and toss them on top we're gonna use some turkey sausage crumbles and then some reduced fat cheddar cheese and some garlic chipotle salsa from trader joe's so that'll be everything and i'll show you guys how we assemble it i'm gonna get the hash browns cooking first and then pretty much just heat up the other ingredients the sausage the peppers and then cook the eggs really quick so yeah that'll be our breakfast bowl okay so this is the final breakfast bowl so the base of hash browns is three smart points worth and we weighed out 150 grams the peppers are zero smartpoints the turkey sausage crumbles i used a half cup but i actually weighed it out so it was 57 grams and that's four smart points worth and then i weighed out my cheese 28 grams for three smart points and then the eggs are zero smart points and then i'm also going to top it with some trader joe's garlic salsa but this is the final bowl [Music] okay so i'm making us dinner and our dinner tonight is going to be a stir-fry bowl so i'm going to show you guys how we make that and pretty much we're going to start with a rice base i have some leftover rice made that i'm just going to reheat into my bowl and then for stir fry i usually use the same vegetables every time sometimes i add a few more today i'm actually going to be doing a few more than normal i'm going to cook up a mixture of some broccoli florets with some sugar snap peas with a few shredded carrots and then a red bell pepper and a green bell pepper so i'm gonna cook all that as a veggie mix and then i'm gonna have another one cooking and that one's just gonna be this that i got from jewel and it's just like some green and yellow zucchini squash some mushrooms and it looks like there's some onions on the bottom so that'll be just another good veggie to add in then i also grilled up some chicken which usually i cook the chicken on the stove but today i had a teriyaki marinade i wanted to try so i actually just made a bunch of chicken for us for the week so this is like a barbecue a garlic parmesan and then this is the teriyaki they're going to be using for the stir-fry and then with the veggies this is the sauce that i use this is from panda express i just buy it at walmart usually and then we're gonna also make some of these wontons and these are the chicken and vegetable dumplings and i don't know how many are left in there but we're just gonna split them up and then count the points for however many are in there so we're gonna top it with these so that will be everything for our stir-fry bowl so let's go ahead and get [Music] started [Music] so here are my veggies cooking up and this is the broccoli pea pods peppers and carrots and i just put some soy sauce in there with it both the pans i started with just a little bit of olive oil it makes so many portions and the oil is divided so much they don't even really track it usually but this is the first mix of veggies and then i also have the mushrooms and peppers and zucchini over here so here's our final stir-fry bowl so the base of rice is five smart points to use 150 grams then the chicken that's zero smart points and then both veggie mixes are zero smart points and then the wontons are three smart points total for nine of them i also tracked two smart points worth of the mandarin teriyaki sauce that i used on the vegetables and then i might throw a little bit more on top but i also top it with a little bit of soy sauce and that's the finished bowl for 10 points so tonight for dinner we're gonna make poke bowls and i actually got a new bowl today so i'm gonna be using this one and i'm also gonna be using a different base than the other ones i've used plain jasmine rice for every other bowl except for the breakfast bowl but today because we're doing a poke ball i wanted more like sushi style rice so i got these from costco and they are higher point they're nine smart points per each container and we're each gonna have our own it's not too crazy and we're both pretty hungry so that'll be fine everything else is pretty low point that we're gonna be using anyway so okay so the veggies that i'm using for the bowl are gonna be these carrots then i got this frozen edamame and i usually like to get the edamame from trader joe's it's not like in the shells but this will be just as good and then i also cut up some cucumbers then we have some imitation crab that i cut up and the portions for us are gonna be two smart points each and then i also took a can of just this chunk light tuna and i mixed it with some of this sriracha from trader joe's and i like this one because it's not as spicy as like a regular sriracha and i just mixed it together to make like a version of spicy tuna that's actually really good especially with that sauce specifically and then i also got some shrimp that i put a honey sriracha marinade on um it's been in the fridge for like two hours with it on it and just a little bit of oil but i'm not even tracking that so i'm checking this at zero points so technically nine points oh okay and then we also have these wonton strips that we're gonna top them with and i'll probably put some sesame seeds as well and a little bit of soy sauce or maybe i'll make a sauce for them but we'll see i'm going to go ahead and grill the shrimp right now i have the grill heating up outside and then it's pretty much just microwaving the edamame the rice and assembling the bowl everything else is cold so this will be really good i'm going to go ahead and get the shrimp grilled okay so i didn't realize that actually the edamame had to be shelled so i just had to squeeze the edamame out of the [Music] shelves [Music] okay so here is mine in the fancy bowl and then adam just has his in a plastic bowl because he doesn't care and i also have some sesame seeds and i'm just going to top them with so that's the finished bowl and then we're also going to just use a little bit of soy sauce and i'm going to use a little more sriracha okay so the final point total for this bowl is gonna be nine for the rice plus two for the imitation crab and then two for the wontons so the total bowl is 13 smart points on the blue plane [Music] you
