Jell-O Sugar Free Fat Free Instant pudding mix, Vanilla 1 1/2 tsp. cornstarch 1/2 tsp. cinnamon dash salt Directions: Place sweetener, pudding mix, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt in a microwave-safe medium-large bowl.

Allow it to thicken and cool for a few minutes before removing it from the microwave. Meanwhile, place the granola bar in a sealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin or can, until you have small crumbly pieces. Once apple mixture is cool enough to handle, stir in the granola pieces, and then devour immediately! MAKES 1 SERVING

The Breakfast Club PER SERVING (entire recipe): 195 calories, 2g fat, 663mg sodium, 6g carbs, 1g fiber, 4g sugars, 36g protein -- POINTS® value 4* More than just an '80s flick... now it's an enormous, sandwich-inspired egg scramble! Ingredients: 2/3 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters) 2 oz. raw extra-lean ground turkey (like the kind by Butterball or Jennie-O) 2 slices Jennie-O Extra Lean Turkey Bacon 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes Optional toppings: ketchup, hot sauce, salt, pepper, etc. Directions: Cook bacon according to package directions, either in a pan with nonstick spray or in the microwave. Once cool enough to handle, chop into bite-sized pieces, and set aside. Bring a pan sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Add ground turkey, and use a spatula to break it up and crumble it as it cooks. Once turkey is no longer pink, add egg substitute to the pan, and scramble until it is almost solid. Then add bacon pieces, and continue to cook until the scramble is fluffy and fully cooked. Plate it up and top with the chopped tomatoes. If you like, finish it off with your favorite egg-y add-ons (we like ours with ketchup and a little salt & pepper). Happy breakfasting! MAKES 1 SERVING
