Oatmeal, greek yogurt, spinach, almond milk, turkey jerky and water... yes water, sounds odd but I never 'liked' water before and now I can't seem to drink enough of it (and I'm totally past the whole "I need diet flavor packs cos water is so blah" stage!! - I just want/need water now!!!)0

Plain Greek Yogurt. I can make it into a desert with pudding or Jello, It can be turned into a frozen treat,or sub for sour cream.
Greek Yogurt makes a great veggie dip and of course Greek Yogurt can be mixed with fruit.0 -

Spinach Good in salads, on burgers, fajitas.....and so much more. One day I will be brave and try it in a smoothie.
Try it in the smoothie, if you already like it on other foods you will like it. I started with more fruit less spinach then progressed lowering the fruit increasing the spinach, I now do 2 cups of spinach- depending how much fruit or other greens you put in the spinach is barely noticeable.0 -
Kashi Berry Blossom Cereal (great substitute for Captain Crunch!) Also nonfat vanilla yogurt with granola!0
-
I love any home cooked meal, healthy or not healthy0

Every once in a while I make a giant chocolate "shake".
I take 1 scoop of chocolate protein power sweeten with stevia
1/4 of a package of jello no sugar no fat chocolate pudding mix
8 ounces of water
1/2 cap full of vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon
Blend in a blender until smooth
Then add 8 to 12 ice cube - continue blending until smooth.
This makes one blender full of yummy.
Now, I'm not saying that it's like a real chocolate shake - but it's a good occasional treat. About 130 calories0 -
I try to keep a batch of my homemade guacamole in the fridge, most times. It has magical, transformative properties when applied to other foods. Mine has diced tomato, minced shallot, lime juice, and a bit of salt, in addition to the avocado (which I mash, because the texture is so much better than blended). I use the stuff on everything, from tortilla chips (I like Tostitos Artisan ones. Roasted Garlic and Black Bean is the best!), to lean chicken burgers, sandwiches and wraps (in place of even fattier things like sour cream, mayo, butter, and even cheese). It is also really good topped on an omelet! I make an egg white omelet with sliced crimini mushroom, green onion, fresh ground pepper and salt. It tastes good on its own, but the guac brings it to another level.
how do you keep it from turning brown? I LOVE the Roasted Garlic and Black Bean Tostitos!
The lime juice helps to slow browning. Keeping it in an air-tight container of an appropriate size (so there isn't a huge gap of air in the container) also seems to help. Still, it only lasts 3 days, tops.0 -
One of my ultimate Fave snacks is Hummus with Baby Carrots. Or just regular carrots cut into strips. The hummus is low cal, and the carrots add a little sweet and crunch satisfaction to it. Any veggie will do, of course, but carrots are my fave. The good thing with raw veggies too is that they satisfy the need to "munch", but they take up little calorie room on your MFP diary. My other Fave is Whole Grain bread with Almond butter instead of peanut butter. There is no sugar in it, so the benefits are obvious. Its expensive, but good grief, the taste is sooooo worth it.0

Greek Yogurt, beans, Nuts, chicken, almond milk, berries, Hummus, cottage cheese0

I haven't really found any "diet" foods that I hate... I was surprised.
And I absolutely love trying new foods!0 -
Mashed cauliflower, boil in water till fork tender, drain, mash, add a little bit of cheese & season to taste. It's a great mashed potato replacement. Low in calories and really filling. I had it 6 hours ago and I still feel full!!!0
-
frozen yoplait yogurt. I keep it in the freezer and it tastes like ice cream-- but with protein and calcium. It comes in so many yummy flavors too. Only 100 calories.
What a great idea, perfect for summer!!!0 -
brussels sprouts0
-
Protein fluff0
-
steamed cauliflower with fire roasted peppers, hummus, and Canadian bacon are my new best friends.0
-
Porridge, made with whole oats, water and skimmed milk with a little Splenda or stevia and lots of cinnamon!
Raw carrot sticks and bell peppers dunked in tomato puree or passata with oregano for a dip
Lots of fruit - canned in juice, fresh or frozen, it's all good. Keep mixing it up and it's like having pudding all the time!
Hartley's Sugar-free jelly (that would be jello to our stateside friends!) with sliced apple or raspberries
Quinoa salad with chopped veggies and passata
Home-made veggie soup
Ainsley Harriot lemon, parsley & mint cous cous0 -
1. Butternut squash wedges (wedge up a BNS spray with an oil mister or fry light then sprinkle with paprika, black pepper, cayenne pepper and roast!) tastier than potato wedges IMO less cals and more vitamins.
2. veggie crudites and low fat hummus, (raw fingers of carrots, cucumber and peppers) sometimes have a wholemeal toasted pitta or a couple of breadsticks too, if I need a bread fix.
3. veggie stirfrys, bean sprouts, onions, brocolli, carrots, wild mushrooms, peppers etc etc and half a nest of noodles, garlic and chilli with a bit of my fave chinese sauce (prob high in salt but oh well) add a poached egg or some chicken breast if you wanna add some protein. (I usually drench this in soy sauce too.) ;P
4. bags of baby leaf mixed salad, punnets of baby tomatoes and low fat honey mustard dressing (I use this to pad out most of my Italian dishes so I use half the pasta but still have a big portion)
5 Fruit nut and cinnamon rolled oats for brekkie, so filling!0 -
I really love veggies
For summer, I love to eat strawberries, raspberries.
In gerneral natural yoghurt or fett reduced curd cheese. Quite filling0
