So I go through phases in my life where I get a little bit obsessed with different foods. I get on a Thai food kick occasionally and I will eat Massaman curry 4 or 5 times in a week. I am on several kicks currently, so I thought I would share.
Ham and Cheese Pickle Wrap:
Many props have to go out to my Gramma Lou for this one. She shares my affinity for all things spicy. Last time we visited she had jalapeno pickles. These are regular dill pickles that have been pickled along with jalapenos so they take on some of the spice. I love them. Pickles are a great snack food for those of that crave salty and crunchy. They have very few calories, but taste great. I take a few pieces of ham, a slice of havarti cheese and warp it around a pickle. Munch and enjoy. You get the protein from the ham, the creamy from the havarti, a little crunch and spice from the pickle. So good! One of these fills me up for a little while, but I don't like to make it an actual meal.
Greek Yogurt - Audrey Syle:
Greek yogurt is a WLS patient's dream. It is chock full of protein, and when you buy the fat free version it is very good for you. Unfortumately the flavored store brands have way to much sugar. To get around this I make my own. I take plain yogurt then mix in a splash of sugar free vanilla syrup and a spoonful of low sugar jam. After that I add some Bear Naked protein granola and a sprinkle of Special K. The Special K absorbs the yogurt and thickens everything up. The granola adds a nice crunch and a little extra protein. Yumm-O!
Special K:
Low sugar, decent protein for a serving. I sprinkle a teaspoon of splenda over the top and then add skim milk. A sliced banana or a couple of berries completes this awesome meal.
Mexican Food:
1 can of fat free refried beans. A big splash of salsa and hot sauce. A handful of mexican cheese. Mix together over low heat until the beans are easy to stir. I like to add in shredded chicken (marinate it in greek yogurt before cooking for extra tender chicken). I eat this with a spoon. High protein and spicy - just the way I like it!
Happy Munching ya'll! Hopefully some of my food obsessions will become your tasty snack! :)
