great snacks

I know the one hundred calorie snacks are popular and make life easy.
But they do little to fill you up. Anything you can eat that is raw or fresh
and has not been processed is so much better. As you know if your body has to work to digest the food it not only burns calories while doing so but helps boost your metabolism. Prossed foods have already done this for us so your body just passes them straight thru.
Below is a small list of snacks I like and some tips. I will be adding the recipes for anyone who would like them.

1.The small round glad containers are exactly ½ cup size. They are great for ranch dip for veggies. Also for making your sugar free jello and pudding. It’s great to to reach in the fridge and pull out your snack and it’s already measured for you.
2.hard boiled egg only 70 calories and 6 grams of protein
3.Make frozen yogurt. Put your favorite yogurt in a paper cup, cover with plastic wrap, stick in a Popsicle stick and freeze. The paper cups just pull off. Great for kids and they can help make them with you.
4.apple 100 calories
5.An apple with ½ cup dannon light & fit vanilla yogurt for dipping. 140 calories
6.Shrimp cocktail make some cocktail sauce using reduced sugar ketchup and into your glad containers. ¼ cup is about 20 calories and 3 ounces of cooked shrimp 31/41 count is 80 calories and 18 grams of protein. Find the shrimp in for grocer’s freezer. And bam a 100 calories snack!
7.24 home made corn tortilla chips and ¼ cup salsa 120 calories
8.hummus 2 tablespoons 80 calories and you can make some homemade baked pita chips ½ of a whole wheat pita is 70 calories so that’s a 150 calorie snack
9.Ranch veggie dip I will be posting the recipe it’s great and again put it in glad containers. And its 35 calories for ¼ cup and your favorite raw veggie
10. home made granola bars I have two that I make one is fruity and 120 calories each and one for the person with a sweet tooth is peanut putter and chocolate chips only 102 calories. So you not only get you sweet but your oatmeal as well. I but them in the snack size zip lock bags and they are great to grab and go. I will post the recipes for them as well.
11. Grilled chicken tenders. If you are grilling dinner add a package of chicken tenders and weigh them out into serving size into a baggie and a great snack to grab 4 ounces 115 calories and 25 grams of protein

So if you have a little time one day makes up your own 100 to 100 calorie snacks and you will be ready for the week.
Wow that was long I hope you made it all the way thru!
Have a great day and god bless
