In my quest to bring you the best, this week we WOW! another great recipe! Since this recipe hit the Lean and Green Recipe sites, it's blown up like wildfire.

Once again, BE CAREFUL though. We've seen lots of versions of this Optavia Big Mac in a Bowl Low Carb Recipe, and have to tell you, the ingredients (especially the condiments) and the calorie counts are all over the place.

Please pay attention to recipes you follow and ALWAYS double check recipes and counts before making. (You NEVER have to worry about Stacey's recipes if you're on program though! We always double check for compliance with Optavia 5&1 Counts before publishing).

One thing we did notice in many of the comments on other recipes was that this one was easy and looked great, but lacked flavor. NO MORE! Stacey's gone ahead and worked her Wow! magic on this recipe and recreated it in such a way that it is super easy, but more importantly, takes the parameters of a low carb diet recipe (especially those of you looking for Optavia 5&1 Diet Recipes) and made sure it complies.

Ready? Here we go! Give this one a try, WE PROMISE you won't be disappointed!

Happy Cooking-

Stacey

STACEY SAYS

In this recipe, we used a low-sodium dill pickle as the sodium content in pickles can be quite high. Choose a pickle that's right for your dietary needs.
