Thanks for the article. All those snacks seem heavy for me, like the hummus and pita bread. But then again I am still learning!0
-
actually hummus is made of chicpeas which are high in protein and the pita is whole wheat or whole grain not white so its a good snack and your welcome0
-
I love hummus with celery and cucumbers. I don't need the extra calories the pita have.0
-
hummus is so nice but very very calorie dense
i know its chickpeas but its got a lot of oil in it too.
Also, you would never eat as many whole chick peas as you would in dip
Ive tried it.....
Still a good snack but a 300 cal serve is not big at all0 -
For those above that really like their hummus but not the calories in the store bought tubs..
For 4 portions:
1 x 400g can chickpea, don't throw away the liquid in the tin
1 tbsp tahini paste
1 fat garlic clove, chopped
3 tbsp 0% fat Greek yogurt
lemon juice
Pinch of salt (rock if you have it)
Pinch Cayenne Pepper (if needed)*
Drain the chickpeas bowl to catch the liquid
Tip the chickpeas, tahini, garlic, salt and yogurt into a food processor and pulse until smooth
Whizz in a tbsp of the chickpea liquid at a time until you have a nice consistency, then scrape into a bowl
stir in a squeeze of lemon juice, caynne pepper (if you are adding it) and season to taste
*The cayenne isn't necessary, but adds a little kick and also boosts your metabolism
Each portion is only 135 cals and has 7.5g of protein.0 -
Hummus with toasted pitta is one of my favourite lunches.
As far as 'healthy' snacks for work goes though, I prefer meat; even if it is just a 'snack bag' of chicken bites or something from the local supermarket. I try to get as much protein as possible for the smallest number of calories, as I find that protein really fills me up.0
