0 point snacks

[nc060]

Looking for some free snacks and also if anyone knows any recipes for meringue for zero points? Are they just egg white and sweetener?

Fruit and veg. I make (more so in Winter) various 0sp soups using my soup maker. Be mindful not to overdo the fruit though. You can freeze slices of banana and then blitz it with some other frozen fruit of your choice. Makes a lovely 0sp ice cream like treat. I have used frozen mango and also used frozen strawberries in the past.

Meringues could work. I just searched for a few normal recipes and then picked one, and replaced sugar with sweetener. Tried adjusting sweetener amount allowing for extra sweetness it provides. Got confused as I was also halving the recipe quantities at the same time. They looked ok, but were far too sweet and actually made me feel a bit ill! Might have been ok if sweetness level was more 'normal'!

If you blend fruit though don't you have to point it? I was looking at making some yummy sorbet and then when I was told the fruit had to be pointed if it was blended it wasn't so appealing anymore lol

I do like cucumber sticks dipped in just a teeny but if sweet chilli sauce. Or pretty much any fruit with a squirt of chocshot over the top (1sp)

No. Blended fruit does need to be pointed if you drink it in a smoothie or juice. If it is eaten, it is still zero points. If you use the recipe builder in the app, there is an option under 'add more details' to select yes if it is a smoothie or juice. The fruit would then be pointed. So sorbet and ice cream with blended fruit is fine.
