    Yummy ideas!!!:flowerforyou:

    My favorite snack is granny smith apple cut into sticks (like little french fries) dipped in 1 T marantha chocolate almond butter, I add 1 T of water to it, microwave 5 seconds and it's the perfect yummy snack!

    Slices of Apple dipped in a little bit of peanut butter! It's so yummy and you'll be eating an apple a day so that's a great bonus ;)

    That's what I did last night with all of them. Even feeling indulgent and eating two is still low-cal! This morning, I took one, cut it in half and used a Flat Out Hungry Girl Flatbread to make little breakfast burritos. OMGosh it was sooo good!

    Banana split the long way, put on baking sheet sprayed lightly with Pam. Sprinkle with tsp brown sugar and tsp mini chocolate chips,. Broil for 2-3 minutes or until sugar bubbles, banana slightly brown.

    Yum!! Can't wait to try this! :happy:

    I like peeled cucumbers mixed with a bit of rice wine vinegar. It's better if it sits overnight.

    Cucumber water - Take a half gallon container, fill with filtered water and add three or four slices of cucumber (approx. 1/8" thick). Refrigerate overnight. (Drink within 4 days)

    55 cals for a TB?!!! What peanut butter are you using, because I need this! All the PB I've found is 95-100 calories per tablespoon.

    ^^^^ YES! THIS!

    FYI, I message this person, and she used HALF a tbsp for 55 cals. Bummer.....



    You might try Better 'n' Peanut Butter. It's a little sweet to my taste but I have friends who swear by it.

    :smile: What I like to do is take some red grapes, wash them and put some in a snack size zip lock bag and put in freezer....When it comes time to snack, grab your frozen grapes and enjoy. It takes like candy. Enjoy

    I like to take a can of red kidney beans and a can of garbanzo beans, drain and rinse them really well then put them in a ziplock bag, sprinkle with a tsp of sea salt and shake to mix. They make a yummy snack when you have the munchies! Just measure out a serving and enjoy!!

    I like to get an avocado and slice it, take tha skin off and cut into smaller pieces and do the same with a cucumber and then put a little vinegar in a bowl with salt and pepper and mix it all together. Its amazing if you dont mind vinegar

    My mouth is watering for this! Love the idea!
