I came up with this mixutre when I was training for my marathon, something that I could eat and get some energy while on the go.
This nutty blend of flavours make them go down like candy
Actually at my house we call these the "ugly cookies", if you make them you'll know why.
This has a little extra calories and fat, but it is all from the peanut butter so it is good fat. Just count this as your snack. It has a great amount of protein too!
Recipe I got from another spark member, just with half of the sugar (originally it was arounf 140 calories each cookie) ^_^ As far as using Splenda or other sugar substitutes, ive read that it doesn't turn out so good with this recipe (but be my guest to try it out anyway) Other optional ingredients u can add is chocolate, vanilla extract etc. Enjoy ^_^
This is the recipe my family always made for our baked goods booth at our local Farmer's Market - it was always a favorite with our customers!
This has nuts, but you can simply leave them out if you don't like nuts in your banana bread. This recipe can be made into one regular-size loaf of bread, but we always made this into 4 of the small mini-loafs (you can find the foil pans for these at your grocery store, most likely). This way you can keep one out for snacking and freeze the rest - they freeze and thaw very well.
Enjoy!
** Don't be turned off by the high calorie count on this one - this is per mini-loaf. If you're only enjoying a slice or two, this isn't too bad as a snack. We generally thaw out one mini-loaf and it's shared between the 4 in my family, making it only about 250 calories each.
Tasty artichoke dip that uses pureed white kidney beans to get it's creamy texture. Serving size=1/3 cup.
The original recipe calls for you to cook them in a frying pan in oil, I either cook them in a dry pan, or in the oven for about 10 mins,
They are high in fat, but keep in mind we're talking about HEALTHY fats that are required for healthy neurological and reproductive system function. I find them a good way to up my fat intake for the day when I haven't really eaten much. They're very filling as well.
When I first tried these... I feel in love. They are so filling and will take care of any sweet tooth craving you may have.
