    1 serving of Sabra roasted garlic hummus. 1 serving of flat square pretzels (1 serving is 24 pretzels). Can't remember the brand of pretzels off top of my head, I put them in tupperware already portioned. Total calories = 105. Carbs 4. Fat 6. Protein 2. I am so addicted to this snack. That and my home prepared raw veggies with homemade low fat sour cream ranch dressing with my own blend of seasonings. These 2 snacks keep my cravings at bay while at work to snack constantly (cubicle job). For my veggies I rotate combinations of celery, carrots, brocoli, cauliflower, edemame, tomatoe, cucumber, zuchini, sometimes but rarely black olives. :tongue:

    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!

    Make guacamole dip or salsa and use cucumber slices as chips instead of salty tortilla chips.

    I just saw a recipe that has you make a little meatball with sausage and put that on a chunk of red pepper. Top with a little cheese and bake until the sausage is done. (This is from memory so if anyone wants the actual recipe I'll look it up) It looked really yummy.

    I love roasted vegetables. I toss the with a little bit of olive oil and roast to perfection! One of my favorites is roasted lima beans. They taste really good when they're all brown and crispy!

    A piece of cheese and pickle is good too. And I love sardines with a good hot sauce drizzled over them.

    This was posted by another MFP just the other day......................what an absolute wonderful idea:

    Lo-Cal DELICIOUS Chips And Salsa

    My S.O. and I cut each 40 calorie corn tortilla into 8 triangles and placed them on a cookie sheet.

    We then lightly sprayed them with zero calorie olive oil cooking spray, sprinkled with salt and placed them in a 400°F oven until crisp.

    We ate them while they were still hot (yay!) and they were fantastic.

    Each chip was only 5 calories instead of the usual 20.

    24 chips with 6 tablespoons of salsa were only 150 calories— and provided LOTS of crunch per calorie.

    Read the labels on the corn tortilla packages, though. They run anywhere from 40-120 calories per tortilla.

    I like 1 oz dried blueberries with 1 oz raw or toasted almonds. You can also switch it up with different nuts/fruits. Pistachios are a low fat option as well :0) Fab on the go snack or to pack for the gym!

    I make (vegan, haha) banana ice cream. I just freeze a banana then blend it with my Ninja (setting 2, don't go too crazy) ... then I mix a tbsp of coco powder or peanut butter into the mix. Satisfies all sorts of cravings. WIll try with unsweetened coconut next time.


    There's always money in the banana stand. :)

    55 cals for a TB?!!! What peanut butter are you using, because I need this! All the PB I've found is 95-100 calories per tablespoon.

    ^^^^ YES! THIS!

    FYI, I message this person, and she used HALF a tbsp for 55 cals. Bummer.....

    I found pb yesterday that has 80 cal for 1 tbls and only 5 grams of fat........it is so tasty.
