S2 Ep019 Let's Have Guilt Free Nachos!

Feb 10, 2017

Hey Weight Loss Nation!

I have Guilt Free Nachos for you today!

I Love Nachos! I have been avoiding them like the plague……until now!

I have put together a healthy, GUILT-FREE Recipe for Nachos.

Now…..I can have them, because I thought about it and I was “mindful” about it. In Episode 016, I gave you awesome tips on alternatives to Potato Chips. You may swap out the Sweet Potato for any of the other options I mentioned in that episode for your Nachos!

Here’s the Recipe!

1 TBLS Chili Powder

1 tsp Black Pepper

½ Cup Chopped Lettuce

½ Cup Diced Tomatoes

2 TBLS of Grated Parmesan Cheese

¼ Cup of Daiya Cheddar Style Shred
