Ingredients

  1. Vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, broccoli, carrots)
    • Generally low in points, often 0 points for non-starchy vegetables.
  2. Garlic
    • 0 points.
  3. Butter
    • The SmartPoints will depend on the amount used. For example:
      • 1 tablespoon of butter = 5 SmartPoints.

Sample Calculation

If you use:

  • 2 cups of mixed vegetables (0 SmartPoints)
  • 2 cloves of garlic (0 SmartPoints)
  • 1 tablespoon of butter (5 SmartPoints)

Total SmartPoints

  • Total = 0 (vegetables) + 0 (garlic) + 5 (butter) = 5 SmartPoints

Tips for Reducing SmartPoints

  • Use less butter or substitute with a cooking spray.
  • Include more non-starchy vegetables to keep the points low.
