30 minutes for beans in a pressure cooker. I actually soak mine starting in the morning, drain them, add some broth and 30 minutes in the pressure cooker. I soak them because it's supposed to help with the "gassy" effects. Taste like you slow cooked them all day. Love my pressure cooker(s).
Hi Mindy. I'm on green plan and I shop at Walmart as well . Love the muffins with Peanut butter too. Love your videos. You are so Pleasant Its so refreshing. Thanks for sharing
Love the purple plan! No super Walmarts near us but can get most of these items that are not refrigerated, I think, in our local Walmart. Thanks for the recommendations!
Thanks for your video. I wish you would have talked about the points value for each product you showed us. You did for some of them but I was curious about a lot of the other products.
Thanks, Michelle! I feel like they have really improved their game with the number of house brand products they offer which makes it a little easier on the budget. 😊
"My kids like to eat these [English muffins] with some peanut butter and a banana." -Mindy. Me, taking a bite of my English muffin with peanut butter with sliced banana on top. Whoa! 🤣🤣🤣 💜💚
Thanks Mindy, I learned a few things from this video. One was that Walmart carries another no sugar chocolate chips, I will definitely be checking them out, there a lot less expensive than the Lilly's!
Hi Mindy! HAHAHAHAHA I love bloopers. You should do a blooper video. I get almost all of that stuff from walmart too. I buy lentils once in a blue moon too. A 1# bag lasts me a LONG time because I am the only one that eats them. I tend to put them in soups, like my chicken tortilla soup, which I may make this weekend. I also get the jolly time white popcorn seeds. I bought the 2# bottle and just saved it and keep filling it up when I buy the same brand in a bag. Recently, it was hard to get so I picked up 6 bags, forgetting they were 2# bags LOL.. now I have 12 pounds of popcorn sitting in a giant container on my counter. I threw the bottle out. I don't think I will be needing it for a while. LOL I also stocked up on the Kernel seasoning movie butter spritzer(Thanks Mollye from classically Mollye for the billionth time lol). I decided this week to give the purple plan a shot AGAIN. I have my head screwed back on straight, and got rid of the snacks that send me into a snack frenzy, so now I think I will do better.I don't think I am giving it enough time. I think 2 weeks isn't long enough, for me anyway. Thanks for the heads up on the Lily's clone. Lily's I can only get in 1 place and it is $6.99.. that is crazy. Other than the snacks, I am pretty set up for purple. I was before but more geared towards blue maybe even green with the snacks I had in the house. I shipped them across the parking lot to my 140 pound 6 foot tall son.. Oh ya if you were not aware, the barilla whole grain (has to say whole grain on the box) is 0 pts on purple too.. not as cheap as the whole wheat but not too bad. It;s about $1.28 in my Walmart. I've not tried it but it is a good alternative when people start going banana town crazy and buy up all of the whole wheat.
Hi ! Just started the purple plan and I owe it to you for motivating me, so thank you ! I have been a ww member in the past and had success on freestyle so now following the purple plan. Love it ! Since not attending meetings etc , would like to ask you about those extra daily points, to be on the safe side 16 points is the minimum? Also, would I use the same calculator as freestyle? And are we allowed any extra weekly points? Also was wondering about whole grain vs whole wheat pasta? Is whole grain 0 points also? Thanks , really appreciate your videos and your effort you put into them thanks! Only on day 4 so far , feeling great and motivated but too scared to touch daily points yet, but will need to eventually ... Thanks 🌞☮️💃🏻😇‼️
Hi there! Your tracker should be able to tell you your daily and weekly points allowances. Mine are 16 dailies and 35 weeklies, but this is based on your current weight, so you would have to check with your WW coach or your app. I typically all my points! 😊
Mindy-I am working through your videos, I am a newbie. Do you use any oil in your silicone popper when you are making popcorn? Can you throw in dry (how much popcorn 1/3 cup)? Thanks so much for any info you can provide, love your content and channel.
Great video!! I love to put over easy cooked eggs on top of the bell peppers/onions hash brown.i havent given the purple plan a chance, since I joined WW in 2017. I am lifetime wanting to loose another 10 lbs. Do you ave a favorite way to cook brown rice?? A linked video maybe?? I just buy the "instant one" Thanks!!! Haha a rabbit!!
Hi, Evelyne! I buy several different kinds of brown rice depending on the store I shop at, and honestly, they all take a different technique. I had to play around with it to get it right, but usually I keep an eye on it while it’s simmering and I turn the stove off while there’s a little water left and let it just steam in the pot to finish. The easiest way I’ve ever done it is just to boil it like pasta and drain it when it’s the tenderness I want. 🤷♀️
I have been buying the Greek Cream Cheese, for HG Hasselback Chicken. But my WalMart doesn't carry it yet. Btw I am a Pharmacy Technician at my local WM.
Hi, Lori! I have only seen it a few Walmart’s, I noticed when I went into a different one a few weeks back it wasn’t stocked there. I guess it’s hit or miss right now.
I don’t typically measure them anymore because beans are zero points on WW purple and blue, but typically a half cup is the recommended serving. When I was measuring them, I wasn’t even eating that much.
I am a Lifetimer from 1982 coming back to lose about 10-15 lbs I've gained over the last 40 years! LOL! Thank you for the video! Everything thing is different about the program. I love it!
Be sure to watch to the very end, friends! 😂😂😂
Chock full of good info...and everybody LOVES a good blooper reel! Thanks for the giggles. :)
i miss your WW videos, but still enjoy watching them and enjoy your new ones!!
This video was very helpful! Thanks for listing points & prices. Just joined Ww and am on the purple plan so this helps :)
Thanks for all of the great ideas. I was just thinking to myself that I am going to try the purple plan next week. Perfect timing :-)
Ooh cheaper Lily’s I like that!!!! I will be checking out those chips for sure!!
Hilarious bloopers! I’m still new to purple and you showed me several things I had no idea would be good on my plan. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
I loved this video!!! ❤Thanks for taking us along with you.
Rewatching this to try to get myself back on track!
This is great! So many products I didn’t know my walmart was carrying!
Thanks, Mindy. I eat a lot of the same things. I'm on the Blue plan. x, E.

Adding so many things to my list. Thank you!
Love Walmart videos and together with WW program even better 🤗

Hi Mindy!!! I usually don't go to Walmart, but today is Walmart day for me! Great timing. Tnx xo
Woohoo! Glad it worked out that way! Let me know if you find anything I should know about! 😊
thank you our walmart is an hour away I went today but I saw this after :)
Thanks for all the great information, along with what’s available at WalMart. I’m going to look for those sugar free chocolate chips!
I forgot to mention that I noticed at a Walmart where they weren’t carrying the Bake Believe, they were carrying the Lily’s.
I’m thinking about switching to the purple plan
"My kids like to eat these [English muffins] with some peanut butter and a banana." -Mindy. Me, taking a bite of my English muffin with peanut butter with sliced banana on top. Whoa! 🤣🤣🤣 💜💚
Haha! Great minds! They’re a fav of mine, too. We also like the PB/banana combo on a waffle!
@@SeeMindyMom same!!! The English muffin was my quarantine go. I did go back but took a volunteery lay off, so back to my breakfast!
Awesome tips, I just started purple too :) Thanks

Hi, Michelle! So good to hear from you again! I hope you are well, and good luck this time around, keep us posted! :)
Love those blooper reels!
Thanks, Tracey! I try not to take myself too seriously, so I enjoy putting them in from time to time so I can laugh at myself! 😂
What is recipe for popcorn seasoning
Thank you I find your videos very informative
Janie Goodman sure thing! Thanks for watching! 😊

I don't use any oil in my silicone popper. There are little rings in the bottom of the popper that indicate the level to fill it with kernels.
Those bloopers 😂

Walmart has really stepped up their game as far as what they’re putting their brand on and what they stock! The blooper reel 😂
I seriously thought it was a rabbit...😂
See Mindy Mom 😂 you were so excited!
I have been buying the Greek Cream Cheese, for HG Hasselback Chicken. But my WalMart doesn't carry it yet. Btw I am a Pharmacy Technician at my local WM.

I love those chocolate chips🙌🏻
That was excellent
What is the normal amount of beans do you measure out to eat?
I don’t typically measure them anymore because beans are zero points on WW purple and blue, but typically a half cup is the recommended serving. When I was measuring them, I wasn’t even eating that much.
Savory oatmeal is a great idea! Where could I find the recipe please?
Checkout Just Jme Allison. She has a whole video on oatmeal, including a savory oats recipe. 😊

Hi, Jan! I’ve joined WW a couple times in my adult life and it has really changed in just the last 10 years!
