Lasagna Spinach Roll Ups

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.

I fell victim to the “Donut Effect” this weekend. Pizza, Doritos, muffins, cookies (coming soon), 3 Cadbury Eggs, and one Birthday Cake Remix later, I’m feeling the need to eat a little healthier this week.
 
spinach and cheese filling
 
These Spinach Lasagna Rolls come from Gina at Skinny Taste and honestly everything I’ve tried of hers is good and healthy.
 
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!
