Seriously, it's time to put the bon-bons down and drown that ice-cream out in the sink. The ideal treat is one that fills you up without filling you out. Below are three of my newest favorite 100 calorie snacks from Sally Sampson's 100-Calorie Snack Cookbook.
Chapters are filled with super simple, inexpensive, and very easy to prepare snacking alternatives. Craving the crunch? Try Apple Chips, Peanut Butter Banana Apple Bites or Chocolate Matchsticks. Feel your blood sugar dropping by mid-afternoon? Get a protein boost with Tuna and Olive Paste and Fennel, Shrimp with Spiked Salt, Turkey Sliders or a BLT without the bread...Yum!
Salty: Toss 2 1/2 cups air-popped popcorn with 1/2 tsp. canola oil, 1/4 tsp. chipotle chili powder, 1 tsp. kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp. cumin.
Sweet: Quater 2 fresh figs and place in a bowl with 10 raspberries. Top with 1 tsp. honey and 1 tbsp. Greek yogurt. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. cocoa powder.
Creamy: Mash 1 oz. goat cheese. Slowly mix in 1/8 cup buttermilk, 1/4 tsp. chopped fresh basil, and 1/2 tbsp. chopped sun-dried tomatoes until smooth. Use as a dip for veggies!
