food for dh and i to snack on were both dieting

[mothersmilk]

dh ad i have put on few pounds and as i cook all our meals and they are healthy iv put it down to night time snacks (and portion sizes but that has been dealt with) we both like curling up together with munchies and the odd glass bottle of wine we have addressed the drinking which is now only a weekend treat but dh refuses to give up evening snacks (he feels hard done by as it is ) i ador savory things crackers cheese ect so does dh but he also has a real sweet tooth does anyone have any suggestion on alternative to the rubbish we are eating

Cake.

Sorry.

do a low carb diet and then you can have cheese and nuts (without the crackers)

if doing low calorie Weightwatchers do chewy sweets that are low sugar/low calorie

cucumber, carrots, with a few homemade tortilla chips...dipped in humous

frozen healthy yogurt = as replacement to ice cream

DH is on Weight Watchers so we've had to cut back on the snacks too. Usually he will have low fat plain yoghurt after dinner with a bit of honey and fruit. If that won't suffice and he needs a proper sweet thing, it's usually a meringue as they are fat free.

Our other favourite snack is popcorn, which is surprisingly good for you. We either have it with cinnamon and a little sugar, or with parmasan for a cheesey fix. I'm sure there are lots of other coating you could try too.

I might be making this up but I'm sure I've heard savoury popcorn is OK as a treat now and then?

silly question maybe but can i just freeze yogurt as in by the low fat tubs and stick them n the frezzer and hey presto frozen yogur its not that easy surely?

I think you would probably need to churn it or whip it up every couple of hours till it was frozen like ice cream. Never made frozen yoghurt though so not an expert.

If you want an ice cream type substitute, what about getting mini magnums or similar. Shouldn't be too bad because of the small portion size.

churn the yoghurt in an ice cream maker but they are not sweet enough IMO and I don't have a very sweet tooth. Yeo valley do a lovely frozen strawberry yoghurt - used it when I tried to get my DD to eat some dairy.
