    I had issues with the cold at first, too, but kind of figured out a way to nibble them bit by bit with my less sensitive teeth. I think these are my new favorite snack!!

    Frozen-no, but I love green grapes from the refrigerator. Sadly they are no longer in season and aren't that great right now.

    Frozen dark sweet cherries are nice, too.
    I love frozen grapes (well, not currently since it's like 10 degrees outside, heh...), but they make delicious quick sweet treats, especially those cotton candy ones.

    Nope, not my thing.

    I do, however, like cold purple grapes on my salads.

    Kids and I really enjoy frozen blueberries! We buy lots when they're in season.

    I used to live off of them in middle school/high school summers. I should freeze some today!

    I freeze them and use them as ice cubes, then eat them when I'm done with my water.

    Frozen berries make a great snack or can be added to shakes/smoothies.

    They are delicious. And if you get a little bored, sprinkle them with water and toss them with a packet of sugar-free Jell-O before you freeze them. So good!

    Ruins the texture IMO.

    Makes good ice for your cocktails too without watering them down.. At least that is what I have heard. ;)

    Yep - I eat them almost every night. Better than candy! I also like frozen mango chunks and frozen peach-slices.

    Love frozen grapes. I also love frozen bananas. I know some people like to make ice cream from frozen bananas but just eating them as is , is good as well. I heard frozen watermelon is good but I haven't tried it.

    Frozen cherries here. From the tree in our backyard. Just need to figure out the calories from them.

    About 4-5 calories per cherry (77 for a whole cup).

    Freezing doesn't change the calorie content of foods (in case people didn't know this).

    Interesting snack ideas that are more savory and still low-calories:

    Celery with laughing cow cheese wedge (a little goes a long way) - 40 cals
    Baby carrots with hummus - 4 cals per carrot; 27 cals for 1 Tbsp hummus
    Boiled egg whites (I feed the yolk to my furbabies) - 17 cals
    Pickled asparagus spears - 5 cals per spear
    Cucumber slices - 8 cals for 1/2 cup
    Air-popped popcorn - 31 cals per cup

    There is no way the cherries are that low cal. I'm not sure the type of cherry we have, but these things are big and sweet. I might be wrong, but if I eat them, I put in about double that (10 each).

    I love pickled asparagus! So nummy!!

    This is great! Thanks everyone for the snack ideas to go with my grapes :smile: Here in Montana, we've been having a really cold winter, but that doesn't stop me! I used to eat ice cream all year round and blended coffees, too. Apparently, I have a thing for frozen things lol!!
