Hey guys, have you tried to bake apples in the microwave? I tried it today and it is great - really delicious and low-calorie! First you need to cut up the apple into bite size pieces, then you can sprinkle them with little brown sugar and cinnаmon. Then put them into the microwave and bake for enough time untill they're ready (it depends on the microwave, but they need to be soft). You can eat them without anything (even without sugar or cinnamon they are still delicious!) or you can serve them with some honey. Enjoy!

I love veggies with ranch dip, but instead of regular ranch I mix powdered ranch dressing mix into plain greek yogurt. Tastes awesome, way less calories, and way more protein!

I love this idea! Such a great idea! Thanks!

I do the same but with onion soup mix instead of ranch. Everybody loves it.

I have thought about mixing plain greek yogurt with a couple of scoops of PB2 and freezing it to make a peanut butter ice cream. I haven't gotten around to it yet, but if you try it let me know if it's as good as it sounds

Here's another twist to "ants on a log": celery, with a laughing cow swiss cheese wedge and craisins! It's delish!

I mix a teaspoon of lemon curd or orange curd into fat-free Greek yoghurt. Totally yummy.

I like making what I've called cajun popcorn. It has a little kick to them but a lot of flavor. I eat them instead of chips with my sandwich at lunch.


It's basically low fat/butter popcorn popped. mixed in a bag with the following. I multiply the below by two for a full bag of popcorn.

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
3 quarts popped popcorn

Combine the first seven ingredients, set aside. In a small saucepan, heat oil over medium for 1 min. add seasoning. Cook and stir over low heat for 1 min. Place popcorn in a gallon size baggie, add seasoning, seal baggie and toss/mix to coat.

It's really good and you can play with the ingredients to fit your liking.

Thanks for all the ideas. In my world, snack meant the junkiest, most worthless food you can find. I'm trying to change that mindset both for myself and my kids. This helps!
