Any certain brand of yogurt work best?

Great stuff! My weakness is a plain rice cake with nutella. Fixes any chocolate craving.

2 tbs bean dip with 9 tortilla chips. Satisfying since protein keeps you feeling fuller longer.

Have done these pumpkin muffins and they are great! You can substitue any flavor cake mix for variety.

Bump! These seem like all great On-The-Go ideas!

I agree with Rachemn--Peanut butter on a spoon or knife or stick or fingers...... But, I cannot just have a couple so I try to stay away. So sad.

I keep hard boiled eggs in the fridge, just take the yolk out and replace with hummus.
I also like carrots and hummus, actually anything and hummus....

So many delicious, and creative ideas here! Lot's of new things to try. *mouth watering*

I can't believe I forgot to mention guacamole dip:

peel softly ripened avocados and mash in a small bowl,
add sprinkle of garlic and/or lemon pepper,
dash of red chili,
squirt of fresh lemon or lime,
salsa, or diced tomatoes, onions, jalapeños to taste,
mix coarsely or blend smoothly to preference.


Chill, then dip with favorite veggies.

Optionally: Cut with low-fat yogurt

Enjoy sparingly, because there IS such a thing as TOO MUCH of a GOOD THING.

You all are terrific! Keep the Simple Treats Coming!

French onion spinach dip

Plain Yoghurt
a cube of frozen spinach
Powdered french onion soup to taste

It's so delicious but doesn't have the nasty fat's or creams, so I can eat a whole lot of it with carrots or celery or crackers and not feel bad about it

yummy!

Fat free cottage cheese & frozen mixed berries use a stick blender and you have 'ice cream'

KrisyKat

Popcorn + hot kakinotane (spicy rice cracker) = HEAVEN!!!

Low calorie baked apple-
Rome apple with diet coke on it and cinnamon. Put it in the oven at 350 degrees and enjoy!

cucumbers and salsa- 1/4 cup of salsa and half of a long english cucumber is less than 50 calories!

Banana "ice cream". Freeze up a banana or two, slice, and put it through your blender or food processor. You can eat it as is for a soft serve kind of consistency or freeze it a little longer if you like it more firm, and you can flavor it however you want! I love blending in some peanut butter 'cause I'm an absolute fiend for it, whereas my boyfriend finds that too overwhelming and opts for honey for a subtler sweetness.

Apple slices with a wedge of garlic and herb laughing cow cheese, sweet and savory at the same time. :-)

take a banana, put a light coat of yogurt over it and stick a popsicle stick in there. a nice frozen treat!
if you use a light plain yogurt it should be 100 calories or less

pear juice is awesome!!

zalla

1 tsp of nutella....right off the spoon.... gets me through a chocolate craving

I make a pumpkin cake using the spice cake mix, can of pumpkin, & one cup of water. Mix the three together & bake. It is good with or without frosting. Do not use any of the directions on the cake box, just the three ingredients listed. My family & friends love it.

Zylayna

yogurt and fresh fruit (cantaloupe, pineapple, blueberries)

add a little cool whip to that and a banana (yes, I believe bananas are good ) and it becomes an awesome desert type tasting thingy.
