What are your favourite healthy treats?

[extremelychocolateymilkroll]

Frozen yoghurt
Mango
Blueberries
Banana "Ice Cream" made with frozen bananas here
Home made smoothies

Do people not have healthy treats? I'm forever trying to replace my regular milk rolls with something that will taste almost as good but find it difficult.

Frozen grapes. They are delicious. I can almost pretend they are sweets.

rice cakes and raw chilli

Ok

I like toast with a little honey and then mashed banana and sliced kiwi on top -yummy

Take a round wellington glass or such like

put museli for the bottom layer, then yogurt of your choice on the next layer and then drizzle a touch of honey and add fruit cocktail of your choice to the top.

Prunes - love eating prunes and unsulphered apricots.

Also like a compo made with unsulphered apricots and served with eggy bread. Sulphered apricots just dont work.

These sound great - though not sure about rice cakes and raw chilli.

Just remembered I really like Activia prune yoghurt - really creamy and so much nicer than it sounds.

Low fat yoghurt with a small drizzle of honey and fruit of your choice (my fav is raspberries).

Ultra thin rice cakes with low fat marg and marmite.

Cous cous with chopped nuts, tomatoes, cucumbers and spring onions. Best with vinegrette but lemon juice will do.

My snacks are all low-gi/low-carb.

Thinly sliced red cabbage with chilli sauce, lime juice, salt and a bit of olive oil.

Tricolore salad (avocado, tomato and mozza).

Cottage cheese and ratatouille, eaten cold.

Version of Gilliam macKieth's recpies

Fresh dates
ground almonds
good quality chocolate powder
tiny bit of water

wizz up in blender till smooth
roll into truffle balls cover in chocolate powder.....

good alternative to 'bad' sweets

Cherries. I could eat buckets of them.

blueberries - in fact just got asda delivery and ate the whole punnett

That sounds good mrsd. Could you give me an idea of quantities?

I do a variation of that, missdisorganised.

Ground almonds, manuka honey, cinnamon, mixed up and made into balls.

olives stuffed with garlic

or sliced tomatoes with evirgin oil on top a little salt and very small chopped raw garlic flippin outrageously good

or

black olives with feta on top with a little oil and balsamic

or

chicory leaves with chopped tomatoe, avocado and blue cheese inside drizzled with oil and lots of black pepper

that would be tomato duh!

Her recipie says....

8 fresh dates
100g ground almonds
2 tsp carob powder
finely grated rind and juice of one lime
macadamia nuts/brazil nuts (optional to roll truffles in)

I'm not keen on carob so i use chocolate powder and I don't like lime so use a small amount of water! Happy truffling

Thanks mrsd- will definitely give that a go. Do you think dried dates would work?

Don't know really, I bought a pack of dried dates but they were covered in sugar so it defeated the purpose of 'healthy'! Ask your local veg shop to order them in or maybe they have them in the supermarket....they really need to be squishy

Will try yours bestfriendswithbenefits....any idea of quantities or is it rough eye work

crab sticks (i know...) dunked in chilli sauce

Just rough eye work really. Something like, a couple of desert spoons of ground almonds to 1 of honey, you can always add more of each until it gets to the right consistency. I got it from the carol vorderman detox diet book.

Thanks .....
