  1. I used to make this pre-sleeve and it is really delicious. I haven't made it since, but it might be in the area of what you are looking for . I calculated the ingredients in MFP - though it is lower in calories and fat, it is high on carbs, 60 total carbs with 30 per serving. That's quite a bit. The carbs come from the banana and the watermelon almost equally so it would seem a sorbet would be maybe less (with no banana) but still on the high end of carbs.

    Watermelon Frosty (Serves 2)

    • 2 1/4 cups frozen watermelon cubes
    • 1/2+ cup Water
    • Sweetener
    • 1 large lemon, squeezed (lime juice also works very well!)
    • 1 frozen banana

    Blend Pour. Garnish with frozen watermelon/rind slices. Serve! Enjoy.

  2. I saw this on the Skinny Taste blog and thought it was worth a try. It was really delicious - though I think the 1.5 cups of Greek yogurt was overkill for 16 ounces of chicken. I might try just a cup next time and that saves some carbs. Made as is in the recipe, MFP calculated the nutrition per serving (for 8 total servings ) at 116 calories, 7 carbs, 4 grams fat, 14 grams protein! ;)
