    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.

    im not much of a 'snacker' any more .. i have foods like fruit , nonfat greek yogurt and protein shakes in between my meals to keep myself fueled up . i consider snacks something like chips , cookies ,cake,ice cream ect .. and i will allow myself that now and then when i plan 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
