Unique snack ideas

Frozen green grapes. Delicious.

My favorite!!!Check this out too:

Dusty Grapes
3 cups frozen red grapes
2-3 T. any flavor Jell-O powder

Place frozen grapes in a quart sized zip top bag, add Jell-O powder, zip bag and shake well. Be sure that your frozen grapes are right from the freezer because any condensation will cause clumping.
I have not tried this with sugar-free Jell-O but imagine it would work fine.

My hearty... before a workout snack is
a garden veggie burger with salsa
or if I'm really hungry
I put the veggie burger and salsa in a small corn tortilla.

Almonds and raisins. Put two almonds for every one raisin in your mouth. Delish!

Yes! The texture of this is awesome, or having low-fat yoghurt with mixed raisins and nuts is just heaven

Not unique ideas, but my favourites are activia 'fat free' yoghurts, go ahead apple and sultana biscuit bars, small bananas and go ahead yoghurt bars. Totally help with sweet cravings:-)

carrots and roasted red pepper humus

Lately a plain rice cake or cheese flavored, they are 35 calories and 7 carbs, with a slice of american cheese (60-70 calries) You can also just sprinkle with a little pepperjack or whatever you have, go light on the cheese. I've also sprinkled tabasco on it,
Works for me, I zap in the microwave about 25 seconds the cheese melts and I love it.

grapes washed under water and then rolled in sugar free jello of your choice and put in the freezer on a cookie sheet until frozen and then transfer to a bag. Helps the sweet tooth.

The other night I made some chili without beans. I used a half lb of 85% lean ground beef, browned in a skillet with sliced up hot peppers, about 1/4 onion diced, a couple celery stalks, sliced up, and a zuchinni sliced up, cooked that all up with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic, and about 2 spoons of victorias hot sauce ( I have a high flavor point), I had a bowl of it with a little bit of
sour cream and a little guacamole on top, it was delish. I had leftovers so next day I sliced up a little cabbage thin and sauteed that down and added just about maybe 10-12 cooked Dreamfields Angelhair pasta noodles and served the leftover chili over that with parmesan cheese, and it was so good. I think I will make this a regular thing since it was so satisfying, had a green salad with that, with sliced cucumber and a little rice vinegar and olive oil over the top. YUM

I've written down a bunch of these and I can't wait to try them!

I like to do celery with a wedge of Laughing Cow Cheese (35 calories for the cheese, negligible amounts in the celery), 3-2-1 cake (aka 56 calorie cake in a cup!), mixed berries sprinkled with Stevia (calories depend on the berries, but usually under 75), and Special K sea salt cracker-chips with mild chunky salsa (under 200 calories!).

A quick on the run snack I like is, taking a bite of my apple, then a small bite of a " chocolate or peanut butter cliff builder bar" . I only eat 1/2 of the bar, Bite of apple, bite of bar. Tastes like a taffy apple.

Bran Crisp Bread (4)
2tbsp cream cheese
3oz smoked salmon

It is awesome, the bran crisp bread takes a bit of getting used to however it is tasty

noexcuses84

2 reduced fat triskets, light cream cheese, smoked salmon, capers, and finely diced red onion. It's super satisfying and low calorie.

i'll have to try this, i do the same but with cream cheese and salmon only, urs sounds yummo

I need something that's bigger than snack size, otherwise I want 10 of them! For me, a celery stick smeared with sugarfree peanut butter (Whole Earth) does the trick. Because of the crunch it takes ages to eat and the protein fills me up.

If I'm being really greedy then I chop up an entire cucumber, spinkle with with dried herbs (oregano is lovely for a Greek flavour) and drizzle it with balsamic vinegar - around just 50cals!!! I particularly love this after a workout if it's too early for dinner. It does the trick psychologically as it feels like I'm rehydrating thanks to all the water in the cucumber. If I've got enough calories left on MFP I sometimes also drizzle on some olive oil.

Roasted and spiced chickpeas (garbanzo beans)! Drain a tin of chickpeas and pat dry, roast as they are until crunchy. While they are in the oven, mix some of your favourite spices (chili, cumin, corriander, etc.) with a bit of olive oil, then tip the hot beans in a give them a good coating before making them vanish!

I love this! Thank you for reminding me how delicious roasted chick peas are!
