Plate of vegetables
The healthiest snack. “Who do you want to cheat! Do you really think people will happily eat carrot sticks? " We think so. Carrot sticks, celery, bell peppers, cucumbers and even fresh cauliflower. It will definitely be a pleasure if served with a few sauces. For example, hummus, pesto, or yoghurt (with garlic and herbs).
Cauliflower pizza
It's like pizza, only instead of the usual dough - cauliflower, a source of many vitamins and minerals. To make such a pizza, you need nothing at all: grind the forks of cauliflower in a blender to a state of small crumbs, squeeze well, add one egg and a couple of tablespoons of barley or whole wheat flour. Form a pizza sheet, brush with sauce, add additives of your choice and bake at high temperature for 10-15 minutes.
Kale Chips
Kale is one of the healthiest foods to be considered superfoods. It contains a lot of iron, calcium, vitamins C, A, B6. Previously, kale was more exotic for us - they grew it quite a bit, and what was brought in took on a not very appetizing look during the journey. Fortunately, this question was closed by Belaya Dacha, and now the kale is easy to buy in a regular supermarket. Feeding your guests a healthy green smoothie from a kale would be, perhaps, too extravagant step, so we suggest making it a treat that is more understandable for the gathering format - chips. Jamie Oliver has an easy recipe for kale chips with salt and cinnamon.
Crispy chickpeas
Chickpeas contain a lot of protein and a whole scattering of B vitamins. Usually, chickpeas are found in the form of hummus, but there is an option for another tasty snack. Open a jar of ready-made chickpeas (or soak overnight and cook dry), drain the water, in a large bowl, combine the peas with olive oil, season with salt, paprika, dry chili and other spices of your choice. To turn the chickpeas into crispy balls, place them on a baking sheet and bake at maximum temperature (or grill) for 10 minutes.
Yoghurt Popsicles
Ice cream is an excellent and beloved dessert by many. We offer a sugar free and low fat version. In a blender bowl, mix a glass of natural yogurt without additives, a couple of tablespoons of honey, and a handful of your favorite frozen berries. Pour into six ice cream tins and the treat is ready in four to six hours.
Apple-raspberry crumble
The original recipe requires mountains of butter and sugar. Here's our lite version. Peel and cut four apples into four servings, bake until semi-soft. Add half a cup of thawed raspberries, sprinkle with muesli (half a cup is enough) or a homemade mixture of cereals, nuts and dried fruit. Bake for another 10 minutes.
Diet hummus
Classic hummus is also a healthy dish. But here's a recipe for those looking for a lower-calorie, lower-fat version. It is prepared from one glass of green peas (defrost and boil for three to five minutes, canning will not work), several sprigs of parsley, a tablespoon of olive oil, a teaspoon of lemon juice, a clove of garlic and a pinch of salt. Put everything in a blender and grind until smooth. Serve with vegetables, green salad or whole grain bread.>
