Meet my new best friend. It's fat free and a nice sized tablespoonful is enough for me to dip my apple slices in at lunch. At only 50 calories for a Tbsp, this snack is getting me through the post-candy letdown. I feel like I'm still enjoying the sweets, without all the bad side effects.
When I'm in the mood for savory instead of sweet, I go for this:
Four Tbsp of salsa is only 20 calories. Pair it with 15 of the baked Tostitos for a 140 calorie snack. Not bad, especially because it feels "junky" but includes veggies.
And though I stayed away from the candy almost the entire day yesterday, I did cave at 8:00 and took Audrey's advice to have a bite sized Milky Way. It was just enough to satisfy my sweets craving but left me wanting more. Gotta have a different plan tonight.
I'm looking for other 100 - 150 calorie snack ideas . . . tell me what you've got ladies!
Popcorn, veggies and hummus, dry cereal, almonds, and fresh fruit. But you know these already.

ReplyDeleteI am going to the store tomorrow to get me some of those chips and dip...it looks so good!
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking I need to go buy some Otter Pops to have on hand for a cool 25 calorie treat.
ReplyDeleteLately my snack has been a high protein greek yogurt with maybe 1/8 cup granola for a little crunch.
ReplyDeleteFudgecicles sound great especially since it's been so stinkin' hot.
I've been enjoying good meals lately that I haven't needed any snacks.
I'll have to keep my thinkin' brain on.
Audrey- what kind of greek yogurt are you eating? I just tried the plain greek yogurt for the first time and thought I was going to gag. Do you do a flavor? I was looking at the yoplait brand and there was so much sugar added, so that's why I went to the plain. Maybe a different brand is better?
ReplyDeleteOh, those Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches are 140, btw.
