Weight Friendly Lobster Rolls!

I recently got this HUGE craving for lobster rolls! So much that I actually proposed a weekend-long trip to Boston to my younger sister. And yes... we are doing it. Hopefully in June. That's a whole other story/blog post in itself.

So my mom and I had some fresh, cooked chunks of lobster and we're just like, "What the heck do we do with this now?" My first instinct is to throw a stick of butter into a pot, drench a roll of bread it in, douse the lobster in mayo and fill'er up.

But after a few minutes of brainstorming (and salivating), we came up with a healthier substitute - and they came out great!

Weight-Friendly Lobster Rolls:

• Cook your lobster! However you like it. Boiled, steamed, etc. (we had about 3 oz.). We didn't add any oil or butter to this.
• Lobster is something you can eat without feeling guilty! About 1 oz. can be 60-80 calories!
• We used whole wheat tortillas that were 90 cal. per piece. Of course different brands range in calories. Choose whatever suits your taste and diet.
• Tip: If you like warm lobster rolls, throw those tortillas on the stove for a few seconds!
• When your lobster's ready, add the spices/seasonings. We added:
• Fresh Celery - cut into tiny chunks
• 2 tbsp of Hellman's Low-Fat Mayonnaise - 40 cal. and only 4 g of fat!
• Old Bay Seasoning (to taste)
• Salt & Pepper (to taste)
• Dijon Mustard (to taste, shocker)
• A little tiny tiny bit of paprika
• Mix it all up, fill up your tortillas and enjoy!

We loved them! And it made so many! We each had two tacos and there was some lobster mixture left over for salad the next day. If I had to estimate the calories per roll with the tortillas included, I would say it comes to about 150 cal. each! Not too shabby!

Bon Gabbétit!
