I like to eat artic zero ice cream! It has protein and fiber! 1/2 cup or 60 grams is 35 calories! They just put some new ones in our store that's strawberry, orange dreamsicle, and chocolate! Those are so good and taste like actual ice cream, but some are not so tasty lol. You just gotta let it set out for a few minutes and stir it up and it turns into the creamy texture! I also will put some in a sugar free ice cream cone and that's only about 15 extra calories.

If you really like the idea of low-calorie ice-cream as a snack, why not invest in your own frozen youghurt maker? I am sure there must be some delish recipes out there and you can vary the taste as much as you like and keep it low-calorie with simple ingredients. You can add stuff like dark chocolate shavings, Pb2 (never eaten that but apparently Americans like it instead of peanut butter judging by the boards), whatever your imagination can come up with... Just log all ingredients and be mindful of the portions.

Outshine frozen fruit or fruit & veggie bars are around 50 cals each and really good. Sugar free jello is 40 cals for the entire box, lol. Most lollipops...

For the most part, i plan everything into my day. Lately I've been making my own almond milk hot chocolate, a cup is just under 100 cals, takes awhile to drink, and covers the sweet tooth pretty well.

Sugar Snap Peas. Crunchy and sweet. We love to dip 'em in homemade hummus.
Also, I just recently read somewhere that you can spritz your popcorn with water to make seasoning stick, and then season with cinnamon or nutritional yeast (taste like cheese) or whatever else is in the spice cabinet.
And about roasted chickpeas... I'm sure you can find some recipes on the internet. I tried them twice. They're really good when they're fresh outta the oven, but they lose quality fast. I read that you can throw them in the freezer right away, and then put them back in the oven to crunch them up when you're ready, but I haven't tried it yet.

2 medium Granny Smith apples
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
2 tbsp Splenda® or Stevia®
Water

Preparation
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Slice apples into thin slices and place in a 9×9 baking dish or pie dish. Sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg, and Splenda or Stevia. Mix so that all apples are coated. Place a small amount of water in the dish (about 1/4 in).
Bake apples uncovered for 30 minutes or until apples are soft and break apart easily.

Sugar free jello 10cals with fresh fruits or sugar free pudding only 60 cals

A baked apple is great! Core it and peel it then sprinkle cinnamon, stevia and a little ground ginger. Takes planning but very satisfying when you crave Apple pie!

If you don't have a dehydrator, you can also dry apple slices in the oven. I slice up two or three apples at a time, spread them on a couple of parchment lined cookie sheets, sprinkle with a little cinnamon/splenda mix, and dry for 3-4 hrs at 175. I put them in 2-3 ziplock bags and have them as a nice sweet crunchy snack ready to go. I'm also a fan of tatziki as a veggie dip or pita chip dip.

Not sure if you're looking for a filling snack (not happening for 50 calories) or just something to satisfy your sweet tooth... but in that case, two pieces of caramels work wonders for me.

Sometimes a sweet drink is all I need in the evening. I'll spritz Mio in to my water and sip that. Zero calories.

Chai roobois tea with a little milk in it. Protein powder crepe (100 calories).

An apple. Wash it, take the core out, put it in a bowl and microwave for 2-3 min till it gets soft. Sprinkle some cinnamon, and if desired 1-2 tsp of chopped nuts ( any kind; I prefer English walnuts). It is absolutely delicious.

I have the same thing every night for my bedtime snack...I dice 2 ambrosia apples put them in a large cereal bowl, drizzle water over them and then sprinkle a tablespoon of cinnamon on top. I microwave for 5 minutes and then stir. Let sit 3-5 minutes( freaking hot) and I have what taste like baked apples for under 200 calories. Warms my belly and satisfies my hunger pangs.

Sounds great
