      I found recipe that whips up egg whites with your favorite salt free seasoning...then cut potato into wedges(skin on) and dip in whites and bake for 45 to 55 min at 425 degrees...I cheated with some ketchup( 100% natural). It was the closet thing to a French fry I have had in over 10 wks...and it was so darn delicious!!!

      I definitely recommend healthy homemade oatmeal cookies. They are delicious and fulfilling. Be careful though they can get really addicting. I would also recommend lupine beans with lemon, cumin and salt. They are full of proteins and they are my popcorn substitute. I am not sure if you will find them where you are living but definitely try to look for them. Hope I helped!

      Cherries, strawberries, plums, blueberries, grapes, a frozen bandanna thrown in the blender with a tablespoon of peanut butter OR tablespoon of cocoa powder for some delicious faux ice cream, frozen cherries in a blender for some fast faux sorbet, a dark chocolate square and dried cranberries, chocolate avocado pudding, and a cup of yogurt with berry sauce are my suggestions.

      Berry sauce:
      1/2 cup of berries of choice
      2 teaspoons of agave nectar
      1 tablespoon of water

      Blend the berries, agave, and water together until smooth. Heat the mixture in a pan on medium heat until heated through.

      Chocolate avocado pudding
      Ingredients

      1 ripe avocado
      1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
      1 tsp pure vanilla extract
      3 tbsp maple syrup or raw, local honey
      1/4 cup coconut or almond milk

      Directions

      Put all ingredients in food processor or blender and blend until smooth and creamy.

      Chill in refrigerator for at least 15 min.

      My husband cracked open a fresh coconut today. I just melted 1 tbsp of chocolate chips to dip it in. It was like a healthy mounds bar.

      The crack of the vegetable kingdom: sugar snap peas!
    • Posts: 3,731 Member
      Not sure if Cool Whip Free counts as "clean." What does that mean, exactly, anyway? It has artificial sweeteners, but it sure doesn't seem dirty. Beets taste dirty. Cool Whip Free tastes nice and clean and delicious.

      Anyway, Cool Whip Free mixed with the berry of your choice. If you have a small bowl full (which equals about 6-8 "servings") and add about a quarter cup of berries, you're still way below 100 calories and it's incredibly delicious.

      And this. If you're a recovering chip addict, sugar snap peas are for you. Nothing else gives quite the same satisfying crunch!

      Deep Chocolate VitaTop toasted with a glass of milk
      Chicken quesadilla (small high fiber tortilla, 1/4 c. low-fat shredded cheese, 1/4 c. frozen (thawed) grilled chicken strips)
      Low-fat triscuits or pretzels with hummus
      Pepperidge Farms whole wheat mini bagels with whipped cream cheese and 2 slices deli meat
      1c. non-fat plain greek yogurt with 1/2c. blueberries or other fruit and 2 packets of stevia
      Wasa cracker with Laughing Cow light cheese wedge or almond butter
      Rye bread toasted with almond butter
      Mashed cauliflower (steamed, mashed, with 1 T butter with canola oil and 1 T whipped cream cheese)
      Baked potato stuffed with frozen broccoli and 1/4 c. low-fat shredded cheese
      Bean burrito - 1/4 c. refried beans + 1/4 c. low-fat shredded cheese + 1 small high fiber tortilla
      Low-fat mozz cheese stick & glass of wine

      The key is a little bit of protein, some carbs, and a little bit of healthy fat in each snack. And a little bit of fun!

      I make 2 minute air popped popcorn. I take plain popcorn kernels, put them in a brown sandwich bag, fold the bag over a couple of times, and put in the microwave with the folds facing down for a couple of minutes until you only hear one pop every few seconds. Remove from microwave and enjoy!

      If I'm not too lazy sometimes I'll sprinkle some nutritional yeast on it.

      Oooooh, clean snacks... all I've got for that would be almonds, and shreddies? (lots of iron in shreddies). I'm testing out IIFYM right now, 70 calorie creamsicles are amazing :D

      My favorite snack is air popped popcorn too! I add a few sprays of Pam then sprinkle with garlic powder and chili powder.

      Now this sounds interesting.

      I like dannon light and fit yogurts. If I don't have one as a snack, I have one as dessert after dinner. Key lime pie and caramel macchiato are the best. Any kind of fruits are good also. I am new to this whole thing, so I experiment a lot. Looking to see what other people say.

      40 calorie fudgsicles.
      or
      breakfast blend coffee with some fat free hot cocoa mixed in - tastes like a mocha coffee but the coffee/cocoa is 25 calories or less depending on how much of the mix you use!!

      I tried this, and the Cool Whip was too soft and squished out between the crackers and made a mess.

      So no I just eat it straight up with berries.

      Or mix it with Jello instant pudding and cinnamon and dip the graham crackers in it.

      sugar free brownie mix and yellow/chocolate cake mix.
      Its amazing how much grocery stores have changed since more people are coming out w/ health issues.
      I don't know if its because I never had to think about it or its new but I just found these items a couple weeks ago (I believe theres even a sugar free frosting).
      The brownies do not taste sugar free and my husband whos somewhat picky, had 2! .
      Sugar free fudgsicles...so tasty w/ only 40 cal...you can try to see if youd like the multi colored 1's but we could tell the difference (after taste or something).
      Instead of ants on a log using PB, put some tuna in the celery!
      There are sugar free jello & pudding cups if its a matter of convenience. .
      Im a coconut person so I was so happy when I found a bar from special k that was only 70cal.
      This is based on Calories Carbs Fat Protein Fiber Sugar
      Private Selection - Belgian Almond Thins 18 3 1 0 0 1 You could eat 8 for 140cal. ~ 1 toll house cookie is 90cal!
      Popcorn - Plain and Dry Air Popped Popcorn, 1 cup 15 6 0 1 1 0
      Kellogg's - Special K Moments Dreamy Coconut, 1 pouch 70 12 2 1 2 5
      Try freezing fruits...some people really enjoy the cold burst...grapes, blueberries etc
      This is a cool treat using only Bananas!
      http://www.oneingredientchef.com/one-ingredient-ice-cream/
      This a nice treat for not very many calories but I can eat it w/out the cool whip!
      Sugar Free Gelatin Dessert - Orange, 1 cup 10 0 0 2 0 0 (any flavor)
      Kraft Cool Whip - Fat Free , 1 Tbsp 8 2 0 0 0 1
      Popchips Sweet Potato - 120 calories for 23 chips (that's like 5 calories per chip)!
      Pistachios are low in cals (5 I believe)
      Kelloggs Special K crisps have 2 in each pouch for 100cals...they come in several flavors
      Make some plain popcorn, add different things to it for a homemade trail mix!
