Do you know what I hate? Recipes from blogs. You know why. You find a recipe that looks amazing on Pinterest or somewhere, click on it and then have to scroll through someones entire life story about the history of every person in their life that either ate or made the food they are sharing. I’m not gonna do that.
This is a great low-cal pizza alternative. It’s from the Noom App. It’s yummy. That’s all.
Ingredients:
- 2 whole wheat pitas (6″ diameter”
- 1 pkg (10 oz) frozen chopped spinach- thaw and squeeze dry
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup crubled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives (I substitute kalamata instead)
- 1 diced tomato
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
Preparations
- Heat oven to 400 degrees
- Prick the pitas several times with a fork. Spread the spinach over pitas. Sprinkle each with mozzarella, feta, olives, tomato, and onion. Place pitas on baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
Green Grapes. Quick, easy, sweet, crisp and low cal. These are nature’s perfect grab and go sweet treat. I munch on them when I get a late-night craving for something sweet and want to do a little guilt free mindless munching or as a side for lunch. Try freezing them for a fun treat! I also like to use my food scale and measure out 100 calorie baggies of them in the fridge. You CAN Noom without making logging a burden! I also keep a variety of berries in the fridge and and bananas and apples on the counter. Fruit is such a great snack or addition to any meal and I have found the the more accessible I keep healthy snacks, the more we make good choices!
Hummus. I love hummus. It’s perfect to spread on a wrap, or as a side with some pita chips or for a lower calorie treat a bell pepper or other veggies. Do your research on brands though. One of the top brands which I frequently used in the past is very high in Sodium, Fat, And Preservatives. It also logs as red I believe (which again…is ok but there are yellow brands out there).
So speaking of hummus…have you tried dessert hummus yet? I know, I know…it definitely sounds weird. But they are soooo yummy! This Brownie Batter is one of our favorites and goes great with fruit!
I love Better Oats Oatmeal. It’s not only a quick, easy, low-cal breakfast but it makes a great comfort snack on a cold day! I see a lot of Noomers Swearing by Steel Cut Oats but at only 100 calories, and less than 1g of sugar…not to mention the added flax seed and the convenience, these are my pick!
Salsa. It’s Green! Before you go racing off to your favorite Mexican restaurant to dig in to the neverending chips and salsa, be clear that I am only speaking of the salsa…not the chips. Not to worry though. Slice up some bell peppers and dip away or spread some on the pepper slices and top with a little cheddar cheese for some low cal nachos!
Applesauce. These pouches will make you feel like (and maybe look like) a kid again. I keep these no sugar added pouches on hand for a quick and easy snack for all of us or to throw into lunches! We love the cherry flavor!
Sometimes you just need some cookies. These little 100 calorie packs of cookie crisps are a good choice. Eat the whole bag without calorie guilt and they aren’t loaded with sugar. I get these at Aldi.
A frozen dessert treat that is GREEN?!?! This frozen yogurt with no sugar added is pretty tasty and pretty guilt free! If you want to make it a little more exciting try adding some sliced bananas, Peanut Butter Powder and maybe a little brownie batter hummus!
I didn’t include this in my top 10 because it isn’t really a snack that is going to satisfy your hunger or fill you up and isn’t exactly “healthy”, but sometimes you just need chocolate. Real chocolate. I keep a bag of these dark chocolate Ghiradelli squares on hand for those times when I’m not hungry, I just want a little chocolate. At only 50 calories, they don’t blow the calorie budget and make mama happy.
Quick, easy, Noom-Friendly Breakfast! These are also a great way to use up those over-ripe bananas so they don’t go to waste.
