[Smart Snack Recipes: Quick and Easy Snack Food Ideas]
-
Are you hungry?
-
Now, I'm not talking about eat a burger hungry
-
but--you know--need a snack hungry.
-
Yeah, me too. [Tracy Metro for the Kraft Kitchens]
-
I'm Tracy Metro for the Kraft Kitchens, and maybe you're like me
-
and you've made a promise to yourself to make better food choices in your diet.
-
Well, that actually means making better between meal choices too.
-
And what I've done is I've gathered up a bunch of solutions to help you stay on track.
-
Now, the key is to eat something that packs a lot of flavor in a few bites,
-
so portion size is something you really want to consider
-
when you're looking to manage your diet.
-
So let's start at the sweet end of my little snacketeria here.
-
Talk about portion control.
-
These Sugar-Free Jell-O Snacks are only 10 calories a serving.
-
It doesn't get better than that.
-
And fruit is one of my favorite snacks,
-
but calories can vary widely between different types of fruit.
-
One medium kiwi, for instance, is about 50 calories,
-
a cup of orange sections is 80 calories,
-
and a medium pear or a medium banana is about 110 calories each.
-
Try to stick with medium-sized fruits when you're shopping.
-
Think of it as nature's portion control.
-
Now, you might think that watching your calories means giving up cookies.
-
And while it does mean giving up eating the whole bag,
-
you can have two Strawberry Newtons for 100 calories.
-
And of course, there are lots of 100 calorie snack packs on the market now,
-
like these Oreo Thin Crisps.
-
And if you're in the mood for something creamy,
-
Jell-O makes these Sugar-Free Pudding Snacks, and they're 60 calories.
-
Or you can make a smoothie.
-
[Strawberry-Lemonade Smoothie] This one calls for three-quarters of a cup
-
of Crystal Light Pink Lemonade,
-
fresh cut strawberries, half a cup of Cool Whip Free, some ice,
-
and two tablespoons of Sure-Jell Premium Fruit Pectin.
-
Now, you want to make sure that you get the kind that's made for less or no sugar recipes.
-
And then blend. [blender whirring]
-
The pectin makes it thicken.
-
This recipe makes two servings.
-
So let's say you're all about the savory snacks.
-
When given a choice between chips and candy, you'll choose chips every time.
-
You know who you are.
-
I've got a few very smart ideas for your afternoon hungries.
-
A serving of baby carrots pack a big punch with two tablespoons of light ranch dressing.
-
2% Milk Singles pair nicely with a medium apple for 130 calories.
-
And you can have three cups of air-popped popcorn
-
sprinkled with four teaspoons of reduced fat grated Parmesan cheese for 130 calories.
-
I like things a little spicy, so I'm just going to grab a little pinch of cayenne pepper
-
to spice it up.
-
And hummus is one of my favorite snacks.
-
Make little bites with two tablespoons of hummus
-
and half a whole wheat pita cut into wedges.
-
And that's 140 calories.
-
Staying hydrated is essential to all of our well-being.
-
Most of us just don't like to drink plain water, so why not doll it up?
-
I'm going to doll mine up with this Crystal Light Drink Mix.
-
And suddenly your water isn't just a plain drink, it's a jazzy drink.
-
In the mood for a frozen blender drink?
-
It's so easy to do.
-
Take some ice cubes, add some coffee, some skim milk, and then blend.
-
[blender whirring]
-
Voila! You've got a yummy frozen drink.
-
And you can sweeten it as you like it.
-
Ooh, doesn't that look good?
