| Healthy Hot Snack on Celebrate Plate (photo by LivligaHome) |
In the dead of winter or when I am really tired I want food that is easy, comforting and hot. It is interesting to me that so much of healthy food is raw and cold. The other day I decided to roam around the internet to look for ideas for a healthy hot snack. Much to my surprise I couldn't find much for a list of ideas or even a few recipes for hot snacks under 200 calories. I decided to build my own list. Here is what I have come up with so far:
Snacks to put in a mug
☆ Broth (1 cup) with a savory biscotti --110 calories
☆ Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Bisque Soup (1 cup) with Melba Toast (3 pieces) topped with Melted Parmesan (1 tsp per piece) --162 calories
☆ Hot cocoa (1 cup) with Good Luck cookies, warmed -- 172 calories
Snacks for a side plate
☆ Applesauce Bran Muffin warmed, cut in half with honey (1 tsp per half) --172 calories
☆ Scrambled Eggbeaters (1/2 cup) with roasted vegetables (1 cup) --151 calories
☆ Tortilla (1 low carb) filled with 2% shredded cheddar (1/4 cup) and spinach topped with picante sauce-- 161 calories
☆ Rosemary Dark Chocolate chip cookies (2), warmed with a hot cup of green tea --176 calories
Snacks that are more like a meal
☆ English muffin (1 whole) with PB2 (2 tablespoons), 1 slice pre-cooked bacon and grilled sliced apple (1/2 apple) --207 calories
☆ Baked Sweet Potato (1 medium) topped with plain nonfat Greek Yogurt (2 tablespoons) and herbs --138 calories
☆ Pizza- Lean Cuisine has a variety of options between 160 - 210 calories
Snacks that are truly quick and easy
