You ever have one of those days when no matter how much food you consume you are still hungry? Really stomach? I just fed you and if you didn't get the memo I am on a diet...geeze! Days like this make me get real creative with my food choices as I still wanna make sure I am within my calorie limits which got me thinking I should share my tasty little low calorie snacks with the rest of the world....or at least the very small portion of the world that reads my blog. :)
The key is to snack on filling things that pack the most bang for their buck. Favorite snack numero uno is Green Giant single serving Cauliflower and Cheese Sauce. YUM! It has only 40 calories, 1g of fat and 2g of protein. Fills ya up, you get a serving of vegetables and it actually tastes delicious!
My second favorite and most filling is Emerald Almonds Cocoa Roast 100 calorie packs. They are coated with a dark chocolate powder but, coming from a girl that doesn't like dark chocolate, I can tell ya they are delicious and just the right amount sweet. Only 100 calories, 8g of fat and 3g of protein, they are the perfect mid-afternoon snack.
My favorite indulgent low calorie snack is Mister Salty Yogurt Covered Pretzels 100 calorie pack. So yummy! With only 4g of fat and 1g of protein. This satisfies your salty and sweet craving in one swoop!
The best snack I have found being that I am not eating meat any longer is low fat cottage cheese which can be comboed with all kinds of stuff. A cup of 2% is about 200 calories, 4g of fat and a whopping 31g of protein! I dice up tomato or drizzle honey on it and viola! A delicious, filling protein packed snack.
If you have any other delicious low cal snack ideas, do share....because lately it seems all I do is SNACK!
Until next time,
Busy B
