Through your weight loss journey I am sure you have encountered a few snacks, condiments, desserts, etc that have been a part of your success.
What are your top 1-3 foods you find yourself eating several days a week that really help you keep going?
Here is my list:
1. Protein Ranch Dress (40 calories in 1/4 cup!) - It is a dressing made out of cottage cheese (you can also use Greek Yogurt) that tastes creamy and delicious! I have it almost everyday on salads or as a topping on burgers, or just about anything to add flavor.
2. Spinach & Cheese Lean Pocket (250 calories) - I am not suggesting this to anyone, because it would be better to eat "clean" but this is my "grab-and-go" meal if I need one. It really when I have no time to prepare something to eat and instead of stopping off at a restaurant or splurging I eat one of these. I love to dip this in a little bit of my protein ranch dressing (above)
3. Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwich (150 calories) - For those times that I am craving something sweet, this is amazingly satisfying

Cottage cheese is a big one for me. Great by itself. I also like it on a baked potato. I used to smoother a baked potato with butter and sour cream, but now just have one topped with cottage cheese. Yummy and healthy.0

Big huge salads with tons of chopped up veggies. I am hungriest at lunch, and I can eat a big bowl of salad that fills me up.0

I used to eat skinny cow ice cream a lot but I heard that it has chemical that makes you crave sweet even more since it is not the real thing.
Eat fruits like banana = sweet and satisfy.
Sweet potatoes - sweet and it helps me feel full around 150 calories each.
eggs - creamy for my salad.
Pepper - it makes me drink water more0 -
low fat sugar/salt baked beans with mushrooms and grated cheese.
Baked potatoes with lots of other veggies

Sure!
Protein Buttermilk Ranch Dressing
1 cup Cottage Cheese or Greek Yogurt
1/2 pkg of Hidden Valley Buttermilk Ranch Dressing Mix (or make your own mix and add 2 tsp)
1/4 cup of water or milk. If you add milk the calories will obviously increase slightly. I use water, but I tend to have to use a little more than a 1/4 cup (maybe up to 1/2 cup).
Throw it all in a blender and done! It's best if you let it refrigerate for a half hour or so to let it thicken up.0 -
Ice Cream0
-
Hummus - on anything!
PB2 - on anything!
Homemade yogurt
Homemade low cal granola0
