A nice twist to guacamole and chips
I figured out a way to eat my homemade guacamole without going calorie crazy on tortilla chips.
I substitute cucumbers slices or sliced red peppers, instead of chips, and dip them instead. I get a crunch with very few calories. It's a great snack, and I dont feel deprived.:p What crazy tricks do you guys do, to enjoy your favorite treats without going overboard on calories? I'm always looking for ideas! Have a great week, everyone! |
I do that with salsa.:D
I am a low carber so I use cauliflower as a substitute for a lot of thing like baked ziti, pizza crust, and bread sticks. It also cuts the cals way down. http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/...veggieziti.jpg http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/...lowerpizza.jpg |
Although it isn't a huge calorie saver, I make my own pita chips. I use whole wheat pita. Open them into 2 rounds spray with a little olive oil and maybe sprinkle with some garlic powder, pepper or other spices. Cut each round into 6 or 8 triangles and bake for about 5 minutes per side. (keep an eye on them they tend to go from crispy to burnt in a nanosecond).
It is a great way to use up old pita that is getting a little stale. |

I couldn't believe the cauliflower pizza could be picked up like a real slice and that it really did taste like real pizza!:D I'm a New Yorker and very picky about my pie! I would take the cauli pizza over those fast food chain pizza places anytime! http://www.fitday.com/fitness/forums...liflower+pizza |
