2 Minute Creamy Apple Desert - 167 Calories

Preparation Time: 2 minutes.

Cooking Time: 2 minutes.

1 large Pink Lady apple (200g without core) - 100 calories

Dusting of mixed spice or cinnamon - neg - 1 calorie

50gm Low Fat Yogurt - (39 calories) - check your brand for calories as they can vary

3-4 dry roasted almonds (5g) - 27 calories

METHOD

• Wash and cut apple into segments and place on microwave proof plate.
• Dust with mixed spice or cinnamon
• Microwave on high 2 minutes (maximum)
• Allow to cool a minute, then add yogurt.
• Sprinkle with chopped almonds.
• Sprinkle with spice and serve.
  
  NOTES:
• This is one of my preferred deserts when I am looking for a sweet fix but not really hungry. It satisfies you much more than a piece of cake or biscuits and doesn’t leave me looking for another snack minutes later.
• I used an apple cutter that removes the core but leaves the skin on.
• If this is a regular treat make up bulk almonds to save time but make sure you watch the portion. It is amazing how little you need to get the nice nutty topping and with the yogurt a little more ’filling’ protein in your day.

CHEESY RYE SNACK - 70-98 Calories per snack

Use sheets of mountain bread or pita bread as savoury snacks with a light dip. Mountain bread is the lightest. 1/2 sheet sprinkled with garlic powder, baked in the oven until crisp on baking paper and no oil will give you a treat at around 70 Calories. I use Rye mountains bread.

• A light sprinkle of grated parmesan is very tasty. Add 10 grams per ½ sheet for a snack of 98 Calories. 
• Try a thin layer of tomato paste and herbs for a pizza style chips and low calories. 
• Hot and spicey: A light spray with water and dust with chilli powder (don't breath it in!)
•  Use plain nacho chips in this recipe: Mild Spinach Nacho Treat Meal
