Re: Low Calorie Snacks
Try these ideas to keep your snacking at 100 calories and under:
1 - 1/2 cup of sugar-free gelatin, any flavor, and two Tablespoons of low-fat Cool Whip.
2 - 15 chocolate-covered raisins.
3 - Stir 2 teaspoons of Hershey's chocolate syrup into a cup of coffee for Café Mocha.
4 - Tea - Russian style: Stir in 2 teaspoons of strawberry jam.
5 - 1/4 cup of fat-free Ranch dressing and 1 cup of mixed fresh veggies such as jicama, red bell pepper, celery, carrot sticks and cherry tomatoes.
6 - 6 saltine crackers and 2 teaspoons of peanut butter.
7- 1/2 cup of fat free ice cream.
8 - A luscious parfait: 1/2 c. of low-fat pudding layered into a parfait glass alternating with two crumbled vanilla wafers and a dollop of Cool Whip gracing the top.
9 - A wonderfully filling half sandwich made of 1 slice reduced-calorie bread, a thin layer of mustard, 2 teaspoons of apple sauce and 1 slice of deli-style thin-sliced turkey. Add lettuce and voila!
10 - Try another sandwich idea: 1 slice of reduced-calorie bread, 1/2 Tablespoon of peanut butter and 1 Tablespoon of fat-free raspberry vinegarette dressing.
11 - Over a small baked potato, spoon 1/2 cup of salsa and 2 Tablespoons of non-fat sour cream.
12 - I really like this one: one rice cake thinly spread with fat-free sour cream and sprinkled with 1 Tablespoon of crumbled blue cheese.
13 - Place a marshmallow on top of a graham cracker and microwave until gooey. Drizzle with a teaspoon of Hershey's chocolate syrup.
14 - Cut half an apple into slices and spread with 2 teaspoons of peanut butter.
15 - 1/2 cup of applesauce and 1 piece of toast cut into four sticks for dunking.
16 - Freeze 1/2 cup of orange juice and eat with a spoon. Nice little sorbet!
17 - 2 graham cracker squares each spread with 1 teaspoon of peanut butter.
18 - an 8 oz. low-fat yogurt or a small container of low-fat pudding.
19 - 1 slice of reduced calorie bread spread with 1/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese mixed with 2 Tablespoons of applesauce and sprinkled with cinnamon. Especially good warmed in the microwave.
20 - a cup of coffee and a small biscotti.
Experiment with flavors and you,ll be amazed with the combinations you can come up with totaling under 100 calories. Some are very ordinary but it's the ordinary things that can make you feel deprived when you think you can,t have them. So go ahead and indulge -- you,re doing fine.
