Quick 200 Calorie Rice Cake Snack!



I was feeling a bit hungry and craving a sweet snack in the evening, but didn't want to go overboard on calories, so I prepped up this quick snack using rice cakes, low fat yoghurt, peanut butter, strawberries and dark chocolate. I mixed a tablespoon of yoghurt with half a tablespoon of peanut butter and spread it over two rice cakes, topped it with 5 small cut up strawberries and drizzled (or attempted to) with a square of melted dark chocolate. Yummy yum. You could also half the ingredients for a small 100 calorie snack.







Pancakes!


I'm not usually a big pancake fan. I just get the occasional pancake craving. And today was one of those days. In attempt to not sabotage my 'diet', I searched for a diet-friendly pancake recipe. 'Does such thing exist!?', you say. Why, yes it does! I used Undressed Skeleton's Blueberry Banana Pancakes recipe, and tweaked it the slightest bit. When I previously tried her recipe, I found that putting the blueberries IN the pancakes made my pancakes fall apart when I attempted to flip them. So instead of adding them into the pancake batter, I made a sauce out of them to put on top of the pancakes. Oh, and I added a couple of chocolate chips. 'Cause, y'know, I love me some chocolate chips. The portion is rather small, which is fine for me as I don't tend to eat big portions. If you, however, feel you need a little bit more to keep you full after breakfast, go ahead and grab a fruit salad or yoghurt with (fresh!) fruit.
