If you like carameled apples you'll love this low fat dip (it's a new one by Marzetti)

robinjw — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 18:41:46 GMT

It's just like the orginal and low fat brand of Marzettis but better -- it's "CINNAMON CARAMEL"!

2TBS is 90 cals and only 1 gram of fat. It's really yummy with those appple slices. I found it at Wal-Mart and Tops.

Kam's Yummy Fruit Smoothy Recipe

Kamda232894 — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 20:07:32 GMT

I was just in the kitchen playing with my blender and made this OH SO GOOOOOOOOD shake like smoothy. :-)

Needed:

A blender or food processor

2 or 3 cups of fat free yogurt (ANY FLAVOR YOU LIKE) (My favorite is strawberry bannana & Raspberry)

Fresh fruit cut into slices (I used 1 medium banana & 1 medium apple)

1 1/2 trays of ice

1 cup of milk (1% is best but you can also use 2% since you are using only 1 cup)

INSTRUCTIONS:

Dump cups of yogurt into blender or food processor

Cut your desired fruit into slices and then put into blender

Blend until smooth

Add 1 cup of milk

Add ice in a few at a time & blend after each addition

Blend until YOUR desired consistancy ( I Like mine thick like a shake)

Pour into glass and enjoy!!!!

If you have leftovers which I did, refigerate rest and save for another healthy snack or for when you want something SWEET!

I have a major problem with wanting sweet stuff and getting the desired fruit servings for the day. This was a great way for me to get some sweetness and added fruit into my diet. I am drinking one right now and loving it.

ENJOY!

Top 10 List: Favorite snacks to grab and go!

MYTWOCENTS — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 16:38:50 GMT

I love my snacks and would not make it through the day without them!

Here's my top 10 - all easy to grab and go!

Pretzel nuggets: Low fat, low calorie and filling. Prebag them so they are in the right quantities. I can eat 16 of these with NO fat and only 100 calories!
Popcorn: I buy the 100 calorie bags. I can eat all of it if I want and no guilt. It's very filling.
Frozen Fruit Bars: I love the Edy's frozen fruit bars. The orange one tastes just like a creamsicle! 80 calories, 1.5 gr fat.
Veggies: Baby carrots and celery sticks are ready to go! Cucumber slices are refreshing too - prepare them a bunch at a time and store them in the fridge.
Yogurt: I buy the low fat kind. With all the awesome flavors, how can you resist. My fav is Boston Cream Pie.
Seltzer: I love cans of Seltzer. i grab one when I htink I'm hungy, but always feel better after a flavored drink.
Fruit: Expand your horizons and try a new fruit. Cut up a bunch before the week starts and store in plastic containers - ready to go!
No fat pudding cups: Can you say CHOCOLATE? I love these!
Sugar Free Jello cups: Easy to transport. All kinds of good flavors.
Rice Cakes: I love the no fat apple/cinnamon kind. These taste like DESSERT!

Do you have favorite grab and go snacks? Post your top 10 and let's grow this list!

laughing cow light cheese spread

Night_Childe25 — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 18:33:48 GMT

I've found that 5 wheat crackers with a wedge of Light Laughing Cow cheese spread is wonderful. It really fills you up and it tastes too good to believe that it's not full of fat. It comes in about five different flavors and all of them are good. The garlic herb makes a great dip for veggies, too.

slim fast

sly341 — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 00:41:20 GMT

i was wondering if I could use slim fast drinks and bars with the alli program?

crystal light.

mrsteenavanwhy — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 05:24:00 GMT

Can anyone recommend good flavors? Ive bought a few that were pretty gross.

Thanks:)

Salty cruchy snack craving???

prettypolly55 — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 17:31:20 GMT

What is good for this? Can't get enough of that stuff sometimes.

Anyone try Laughing Cow Cheese?

kleimola — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 12:43:29 GMT

I love the Laughing Cow Light French Onion cheese with my baby carrots to dip in. They come in nicely individual servings wrapped up. I stuck one wedge and some crackers in a bag for my hubby's snack this morning.

Need some Milk ideas

codenash — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 19:02:52 GMT

Hi All,

on my plan I should be consuming 2 milk exchanges but I'm not a fan of drinking milk. Any ideas on how to fit this into my diet without resorting to drinking milk?

Thanks!

Rather than ice cream, try this...

jbrookebrown — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 05:10:52 GMT

Yoplait Whips yogurt makes a delicious chocolate mousse version. I generally have one after my meal and that's my body's signal that it's the end of eating for a while. So, rather than having ice cream or any other gluttonous snack, I empty the chocolate yogurt into my favorite bowl and top it with raspberries and blackberries that I've thawed (don't add sugar and the thawed berries are very versitile... great as a fresh snack, on top of eggos, mixed in a shake, etc.). On top of the berries, I throw on a small handful of crushed almonds, pistachios, and cashews.

This little snack covers my chocolate craving, gives me some great fiber from the berries, and I get a nice little salt craving satisfaction from the nuts (not to mention the health benefits from the almonds). Try it and let me know what you think! :)

Post Snack Ideas & Fat for Quick Reference

ktstato — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 21:35:28 GMT

I thought I'd start a thread of some ways to add fat to your meals and the fat content. Post some of your faves here, they come in handy for quick snacks or when you're in a hurry!

Hershey Kiss (1) - 1.5 g fat, 22 cal

Laughing Cow Cheese (light swiss flavor, 1 wedge) - 2g fat, 35 cal

Almonds (2)- 1g fat

Graham crackers (1 sheet)- 1g fat, 60 cal

Delicious and filling oatmeal-fruit "cookies"

ochedgehog — Sat, 16 May 2009 00:04:19 GMT

This is such a good low fat, filling treat.

3 eggs

3C no sugar added applesauce

3C oatmeal

1C dried fruit - I use raisins or cranberries

1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 2T vanilla extract

oven on 350. Drop tablespoons onto cookie sheet sprayed with no stick spray They will stay like they are, so if you want them to be flatter, squish them a little. Cook 15 minutes. Cool well and store in a freezer bag in the freezer for about 2 weeks at most. 10 sec in the microwave will defrost and warm them.

makes 40 if you use exactly a tablespoon each.

per cookie:

cal: 45, fat: 0.8g, protein: 1.3g, carbs: 8

microwave popcoren

wallerubw — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 13:39:17 GMT

I am confused by the label on the bag. The label states: Serving size 2tbsp. (makes 3.5cups popped)

Servings per bag 2.5

calories 2tsp unpopped 140 Per 1 cup popped 30

calories from fat unpopped 30 popped 5

total fat 3g

How many calories am I consuming if I eat the entire bag of popped corn? How many grams of fat?

One or Two Snacks a Day????

Coastalmom — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 17:09:21 GMT

I am new to Alli and am wondering if we are only allowed 1 snack per day? The Campanion guide with daily meal plan only show 1 snack.

I usually am hungry within 2-2 1/2 hours after I eat my meal, I have been having 2 snacks per day am I making a huge mistake?

Any ideas/substitutions for chips and queso?

aggien07 — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 04:43:09 GMT

I just started alli today and am really excited to get started! But I must have a recipe/subsitute for chips and queso!

It's my weakness but I am ready for a change and new recipes!

Any ideas?

Thanks!

TIA!<~~

Spicy Pretzel Snack

kleimola — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 17:52:47 GMT

I like to buy the fat free pretzel sticks (a serving is 48 sticks). I toss them onto a baking sheet then I shake worschestshire (I can't spell that word) sauce on it. I toss them to coat and bake in the oven at 350 until they are no longer "wet" from the Lea & Perrins. Stirring occasionally. It gives the pretzels a nice spice and no added fat. I especially enjoy them warm out of the oven.

pudding

crystalmamabear — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 15:35:12 GMT

Just though I would share my all time favorite bedtime snack. I cut up a banana and put it in a bowl and pour one chocolate sugar free pudding cup on top....mmmmm...it is so good that I have to remind myself that I don't need to feal guilty!!

Kosher salt?

vglitterbugw — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 08:01:24 GMT

Hi i was wondering if cooking with kosher salt is fattening?

Coconut oil

janetk — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 23:50:59 GMT

I have been reading great things on Coconut oil. It is very healthy and you can use in shakes to make thicker too.

Just wondering.

Can anyone tell me how much fat/calories are in.......

dolphin9600 — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 11:31:00 GMT

.......microwave popcorn. Ok, I have an Orville Redenbacher microwave popcorn popper. I put three tablespoons of popcorn kernals in the bowl and pop it and once popped, it fills the entire bowl. I DO NOT use butter or oil, just the plain kernals, that's it, that's how I like it. Do you know how many fat and calorie grams are in it? Thanks. I love this for snacks in the evening or while watching movies-better than eating chips, lol.

Like Donuts? You will LOVE these!

indyjade — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 16:05:53 GMT

Holey Donut's....

So, I was shopping online at QVC one day and stumbled on these. These are so delicious, and QVC has the best flavor choices in their set and a better price than the Holey Donut site! The vanilla tastes BETTER than a Crispy Creme!!! I checked the Holey Donut website for nutritional info before I purchased, here goes... only 148-149 calories/3 grams fat per chocolate, vanilla or carmel versions, and 209 calories/4 grams fat for coconut version, 217calories/3.9 grams fat for raspberry version, and 218calories/3.8 grams fat for blueberry version, all have 2 mg or less cholesterol! You can easily add these to your diet and not suffer without a sweet! I will be back for more, but they send you so much it is going to take a while to finish the first set! AND! If you do not like them, QVC returns you money. Either way, you have nothing to lose, other than pounds LOL.

Let me know if you try them,

Tina
