Super delicious dipped pretzels are a fantastic snack that you can consume that won’t make you feel like you are limited in terms of calorie count or portion size while still eating your favorite tastes. Use the microwave to melt approximately a half cup of semi sweet chocolate. It takes a couple of minutes for the chocolate to melt and see to it that you stir it up very well before you try using it.
Dip low salt pretzels in the chocolate to coat them and then lay them in a single layer on parchment paper. Let them cool at room temperature or place them in the fridge for roughly 20 minutes. Tasty Tortilla Chips are snacks that, unbelievably, you can make on your own at home.
Tortilla chips, when you purchase them from the shop, are usually loaded down with an insane amount of salt and aren’t really very good for you. In this yummy snack, you make the chips yourself with corn tortillas. Cut roughly ten corn tortillas in 6 parts.
Put the pieces onto a baking sheet and then spritz it with a blend of canola oil, a quarter teaspoon of chili powder, a half a teaspoon of cumin, and a quarter teaspoon of sea salt. Allow every corn tortilla piece to be coated completely and then bake all of the pieces together in a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes. Give them time to cool off before consuming them.
Make your own caramel corn! You probably think that, as a result of the extremely high sugar and calorie count, there’s no way that the caramel corn can be good for you. Prepare this yummy but healthy recipe instead; it’s good for you.
Use a large stock pot and melt two tablespoons of butter at the bottom of it and then mix in two tablespoons of brown sugar, a tablespoon of water and a quarter teaspoon of kosher salt. Use a whisk to blend all the ingredients and then add roughly seven cups of air popped popcorn. If you enjoy lightly salted peanuts, mix in about an ounce of those too.
Mix all the ingredients together until the popcorn (and nuts if you’ve included them) are well coated and then let the whole lot cool before consuming it. If you are fine doing a little bit of research, you can find all sorts of healthy recipes that give you the tastes you crave but have far fewer calories and unhealthy ingredients. There are numerous fantastic tasting alternatives for snacks that are both nutritious and tasty.
You just need to find the patience to search them out and create them yourself. Being in good health doesn’t need to be tough. It’s in your power to do it!
