Buttermilk Cheddar Potato Bagels (Fueling)

 [6 Servings: Each counts as 1 Fueling, <1 Condiment, 1/2 Fat]

Ingredients:

3 packets OPTAVIA™ Buttermilk Cheddar Herb Biscuit (3 Fueling)**Variations

3 packets OPTAVIA™ Mashed Potato, any (3 Fueling)

 7 Egg whites, whisked until frothy (1/2 Lean*eating 1 per day would not count towards your Lean protein)
 1-1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder (3 Condiment)

 1 Tablespoon White Vinegar (1/4 Condiment)
6 wedges Light Laughing Cow Cheese OR 6 Tbls Light Cream Cheese (3 Fat)

  1-1/2 cup Almond Milk (1-1/2 Condiment)

~Preheat oven to 350°F.

~In a medium mixing bowl, whisk egg whites until frothy then add in remaining ingredients and stir until blended.

~On parchment paper lined baking sheet, mold 6 even dollops of mixture, then push hole in center of each to make *ring (*This step is needed so the bagel is not doughy in the middle) OR make life easier by using a donut/bagel pan. I use a Pampered Chef mini donut pan. (To order, click here ! )
~Bake for approximately 15 minutes. Remove and let cool completely.
~Divide into 6 equal portions. (Portions vary depending on size of bagels you choose to make.)
~Slice in half lengthwise. Freeze in Ziplock Freezer bag what you want to save for another day or place in fridge for up to 3 days.
~When needed, toast 2 halves. If desired, top with 1 Tablespoon light cream cheese OR 1 wedge Light Laughing Cow Cheese (1/2 fat option).

 **Variations: You can utilize a variety and combination of Fuelings using this basic recipe. Try hot cereals, Cinnamon Cream Cheese Swirl Cake, Honey Sweet Potato, Mashed Potato, Biscuits, soup mixes, Mac-N-Cheese, etc. To find your favorite flavor**

*To use Soups and Pastas for bagels, pulse them in a personal blender prior to mixing with the remaining ingredients.  Here are my mini bagels using 2 packets Buttermilk Cheddar Biscuits, 2 packets Tomato Basil Bisque and 2 packets Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes for the recipe above. I like to add some of my lean. I love adding an egg white and pinch of cheese then deduct that from my Lean and Green meal.

Bagel: 3 Cinnamon Swirl Cake + 3 Honey Sweet Potato
