We are always looking for yummy and healthy things to snack on. Sick of just eating plain fruit but still want to get the nutritional benefits of fruit? Well, thanks to user, blueberry07, you can! Her light snack idea for Frozen Fruit and Nonfat Whipped Topping sounds like a hit for anyone with a freezer.
"The title's pretty self-explanatory, but I love eating frozen fruit with nonfat whipped topping (aka nonfat whipped "cream"). My favorite fruits to eat frozen are blueberries, mango, and pineapple, but anything will do! When I want berries, mango, or pineapple, I buy frozen fruit. But on occasion, I'll want grapes, which I freeze on my own."
Thank you blueberry 07! Sounds tasty, light and easy on the wallet (and waistline), doesn't it? I can't wait to do this for dessert tonight or maybe even with breakfast tomorrow! Such an easy idea to use frozen fruit and a great way to trick the mind into thinking you're eating some frosty, high-calorie treat.
Do you have a "go to" snack that is healthy? Maybe bumps on a log or rice cakes with natural peanut butter are your thing. If so, share your ideas and recipes in the Snack Attack Group! I'd love to feature your fabulous ideas on FitSugar's upcoming healthy snack post!
Instead of serving a spirits-based specialty cocktail at my Californian Thanksgiving, I'll be pouring a wine-based drink that's garnished with icy grapes. The recipe is somewhat like sangria, but without the addition of liqueur. White wine is infused with fresh rosemary, mint, and lemon zest. It sits overnight until the wine has an aromatic herbal quality. It's a light, refreshing, and fruity start that will offset the heavy and rich meal perfectly. Don't skip the frozen grape step; it's a festive presentation and they end up looking like floating jewels in the infused white wine.
