What to eat? 7 healthy, low-calorie snacks for the diet crisis |

Sticksy z dipem

The list opens with one of the most versatile vegetable options straight from our menu. Almost all the vegetables we can think of can be used as the title sticks, but below we present some of the most popular variants. Plus two dietary dips 🙂

In the form of sticks

Dips

• Garlic Natural yogurt 100 g, garlic clove, salt / pepper

• Tzatziki Natural yogurt 100 g, garlic clove, green cucumber, dill, and salt / pepper

Sorbet Ice Cream

There was a suggestion for salty, now it’s something for fans of sweets. The holiday weather and high temperatures do not always favor our willpower, especially when perfectly chilled drinks and ice cream are looking at us from the store freezer. However, we have a solution – homemade, low-calorie sorbet. All we really need is a handful of favorite fruits and a blender. We choose fruits that are naturally sweet, less watery (to avoid water crystallization during freezing), cut them into small pieces, freeze them, put them in a blender and it’s ready. Here is a list of the most interesting sorbet fruits:

Chips

French fries are considered to be one of the most caloric and unhealthy snacks. In 100 g of deep-fried potatoes we find over 330 kcal, and usually eat a little more. As promised, we have prepared a healthy alternative for you – French fries, yes, but celery! This variant, for a similar portion, will reduce the number of calories consumed three times to 111 kcal. In the oven version, all we will need is: celery, a handful of your favorite spices and half a tablespoon of olive oil. We need to peel the celery and slice it quite thin, then mix it with the oil and spices. Bake for 30-40 minutes at 180 degrees.

Broad bean

Despite the quite original taste and smell, broad beans are one of the most anticipated early vegetables every year. At the beginning of June, when the legume finally appears on stalls and markets, its price can exceed PLN 20 per kilogram. Not only the seasonality of broad beans made it a product extremely desirable, but most of all its nutritional value. It is an ideal source of protein for vegetarians and vegans as well as fiber – thanks to which even a small portion gives you a feeling of satiety, sodium, iron, magnesium, copper and vitamin K. It is worth remembering that, yes, broad beans qualify for low-calorie, full-value snacks, but in smaller ones portions – 100 g of green vegetables is about 90 kcal. You can eat it raw, but we like the soft version the most – put the broad beans into boiled water, add a pinch of salt and cook over medium heat for 15-20 minutes. However, it should be remembered that the plant in this form will lose some of its nutritional value. Here is also a little curiosity straight from the Tasty Matched diet menu: Bruschetta with broad beans and paprika (383 calories)

3 slices of whole wheat bread (107 g), broad beans (53 g), olive oil (7 g), lemon (7 g), pepper (92 g), spices (3 g)

Pour boiling water over the beans and peel. Then cook until tender. Mash it with a little lemon, olive oil, basil and pepper. Heat the bread in an oven or toaster and brush with broad beans. Arrange the paprika on the sandwich. 

Chips

Yes, yes, you see, suggestion number five is crispy chips. First, a few words about the original – for example, a small package of Lay’s (30 g) with the taste of green onion is 160 kcal, the larger (100 g) is as much as 530 kcal, which is the same as a solid dinner. In addition, classic chips contain a lot of salt, trans fats and acrylamide. Lay’s Straight from the stove is slightly better (15-20% less calories), but we are still talking about an unfulfilling, unhealthy meal. Why, when on a diet, give up this snack completely when there are a few minor modifications? Let’s change the vegetable and the method of preparation, and we will get a valuable, low-calorie snack, perfect for your favorite Netflix series.

We provide recipes for various variants of delicious crisps from our Vitalijek:

Baked apple

Are you going to a family party or just want something sweet? We have a simple, tasty and dietary solution for you. Apple is classified as a low-calorie fruit, and the energy value of an average piece does not exceed 80 kcal. Along with the peel, it contains fiber, vitamins C, A, E, calcium, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium. Of course, heat treatment will slightly negatively affect the nutritional value of the apple, but we are still talking about a very healthy snack. Depending on the size of the fruit, put it in the oven from 25 minutes for the smaller fruit and up to 45 minutes for the larger one. The baking temperature should be 180-200 degrees Celsius. To diversify the taste, it is worth using aromatic spices such as cinnamon or ginger, in slightly more caloric variants, nuts, seeds or honey will be good additions.

hummus

The vegetable paste came to the Polish market from the Middle East and has been steadily conquering our hearts and stomachs for several years. This universal delicacy based on chickpeas has found its application especially in vegetarian and vegan diets, being a source of not only protein, but also iron, calcium, selenium, zinc, manganese, phosphorus and copper. In addition, hummus supports the digestive tract, has a positive effect on the circulatory system, lowers cholesterol, and thanks to the low glycemic index, it will perfectly complement the diet of diabetics. Another advantage is the multitude of combinations, combinations and variants with our vegetable paste in the lead role. Here is an interesting proposition from Vitalijka:
