SPINACH LASAGNA ROLL UPS

The Donut Effect. There’s a little something I like to call the “Donut Effect”.

I eat pretty healthy most of the time. I feel like I’m always trying to convince you guys of that since you’ve seen what I post on here, but I really do.

Don’t get me wrong…I treat myself everyday to a little something.

But when I’ve been really watching it for a while I inevitably break down and indulge in something sweet…like a donut.

So good! So I think “Wow that was so good and I didn’t even gain any weight. I actually lost 2 pounds.”

So the next day, I eat four cookies. That probably won’t affect me at all either since the donut didn’t so I won’t even bother weighing myself today.

And even if I did gain weight, I lost weight yesterday so it’s all good.

The next day it’s brownies…but just half a pan…

From there, it’s pretty much a downward spiral.

They are perfectly portioned and have all the flavors of lasagna I love.

These are 6 WW points plus and 224 calories per roll. I added one some garlic and Italian seasonings to the mix which shouldn’t change the points.

I used some spaghetti sauce I had on hand also added one diced chicken breast to add a little protein so if you add that you will need to adjust your points according to those.

I was amazed that my boys ate the spinach part without even flinching. Of course my husband had just taken them for a round of golf so they were starving!
