Low Calorie Snack Suggestions


Instead of reaching for that apple pie try this healthy alternative:


Sliced apple with cinnamon, yogurt, and cereal..

All you need is:

One apple-It doesn't really matter what type of apple you get, choose your favorite. It is recommended you try to eat only organic apples. Apples are one of the fruits that contain large amounts of pesticides.


1/2 cup-1 cup of yogurt- When eating yogurt, try to buy the one with the least ingredients. You can also opt for low calorie or non-fat. In our household we eat fat free plain Dannon yogurt. One cup is only 110 calories.


Cinnamon Powder


1/2 cup of Special K Cereal- This can be any healthy low calorie cereal, and is optional


Directions: Preheat your oven to 375. Slice your apple into small cubes. Sprinkle the cinnamon on the apples and place in the oven (baking sheet, aluminum foil, any non stick oven save dish). Bake for 25-40 (until the apple begins to soften). Remove from the oven and put both your yogurt and apples into a bowl and enjoy.


*I add about 1/2 cup of Strawberry Special K to my desert, I love the crunchies*
