I just made the best THING EVER. THIS WHOLE PLATE IS ONLY 152 CALS.

So ive tried to like angel hair/zero/shirataki noodles for ages but I can’t. Call me dramatic but It makes me want to cry and I just cannot get past the gross texture 🤧 so I looked into RICE NOODLES. But my secret for bulk is bean sprouts, boiled!! Mixing them with the noodles (and the best part is you don’t need many noodles just keep them long and don’t break them apart for it all to mix together nicely!) and BOOM. Big bowl of cozy and normal texture noodles!! As you can see I added other things for bulk and flavour like veggies, sauces (these are my low cal ones I mix them!) and of course siracha thing (in my opinion it’s better 🤩) it’s also really good wth crunchy veggies like cucumber, carrots and Kimchi!! It’s also super filling!! You can see how much it fills a plate next to my hand (: anyway! Enjoy 🍜

68 cals Healthy chips of autumn 🍂🍏

Today I was craving something with autumn feels. I decided to go for an apple with cinnamon but then I decided to take it to the next level! PLEASE TRY IT. It’s SO GOOD!! It’s perfect you could make a huge bowl for less than 150 and eat it while watching your favourite show/movie 🌟

Original plain version: 58 cals

Cinnamon pie/ cinnamonish version: 68 cals

I used:

-111 grams Granny Smith 🍏 . You could use any kind though! But I love green apples because they have more of a tang, and the tart with the cinnamon is so so good. (58 cals)

-½ tablespoon cinnamon (10 cals)

-¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (0 cals)

You could add sweetener but I didn’t, the chips don’t even need it! The apple makes it the perfectly amount of sweet and the cinnamon sauce brings it out. (:

Preheat your oven to 250• (my mode is on bake and then I put the number in but everyone’s oven is different so you may have a different mode)

The secret I’ve figured out to perfecting the chips is that you leave them in longer, but at a lower heat setting! Also it’ll make your house smell like freshly baked apple pie.🤤🥧🍎 It’s like a large autumn candle so that’s another use out of this post. 😉

Cut your apple very thinly, as thin as possible!

I mixed the cinnamon and vanilla extract with water. Eyeball the amount of water but I just worked my way up. It’ll be clumpy at first so don’t add more water right away!! Just keep mixing and it’ll blend into the same consistency of the cinnamon filling of cinnamon buns.

Drizzle the sauce onto the apples and coat them evenly. I messaged the sauce into the apples just to make sure they were really all nice and coated. (:

Put the chips on parchement paper on a baking tray (is that the right word? 😂)

And place them apart, if they stick together it’s no big deal! A few of mine did and it was still delicious.

Place in oven for half hour, take them out and flip the chips over and place back in for another 30 minutes. If you double the recipe the time will double so two hours cooking.

Other toppings/spices I suggest for this;

-lemon juice once done cooking. This is really good! It tastes like a kilalo sunrise beav tail. So yummy 🤤

-for the sauce you could blend up a date and add it to the sauce mixture , it would make it even yummier!

I hope you enjoy!

When I crave a nice cozy bowl of mashed potatoes i replace it with carrots so I can have a big bowl and watch my show instead of measuring such a small, or just a limited portion of mashed potatoes on a little plate. So I have room to also eat protein too or just triple the amount LOL

Low cal pumpkin banana bread! 🍌

-1 cup oats (330)

-small banana (90)

-1 tbsp honey (60)

-1 cup pumpkin purée (70)

-2 eggs (70)

I added salt, cinnamon, which i don’t count! Also you can add Splenda and such but I hate the taste of Splenda in baked goods so that’s why I used the honey, that and the banana will make it naturally sweet!

Total for the whole recipe: 620 calories

I separated into 4 because I wanted a big piece (155 cals and it’s HUGE) and added vanilla halo top! So good 💕

Easy 53 calorie peanut butter cookie! 🥜🍪

So, I tried making a low cal peanut butter cookie with pb2, pb fit, etc but it was just TERRIBLE and not satisfying at all. I was about to just give up and eat like 5 tablespoons of peanut butter straight from the jar but then I found THIS GEM and I am IN LOVE. It tastes indentical, literally identical to a normal peanut butter cookie you’d have on Christmas. Kid you not. The best part is that it’s low ingredient and SUPER easy and fast. I’m so exited about this guys 😂

You’ll need:

-1 tbsp peanut butter better Crocker cookie mix (I also put it on my food scale it ended at 53 cals)

-2tbsp oat fiber (maybe 1 and a half if you’re sensitive to the texture easily but when I made it with 2 it tasted AMAZING. Than again I really don’t mind the textured oat fiber)

-pinch of salt

-pinch of baking soda

Usually when I make cookies that are low cal I add stevia so at the end it has that fake sugar taste but for this, the ready made mix already has sugar so no fake stevia taste. BLESS. (We deserve real sugar, even if it might be scary! I promise it’s okay.)

Anyway!! Mix all dry ingredients, I added give or take 1 tbsp of water. Just eyeball it that’s what I did! But make sure it’s not too watery.

Microwave for one minute and let cool for three minutes ish and

boom. HEAVEN.

eating isn’t shameful. you aren’t ugly just because you’ve gained weight. calories are necessary. treating yourself is okay. please take care of yourself. your body loves you and depends on you to help it function properly.

Low cal apple crumble/crisp! 🥧🍏

I was craving apple crisp like HELL. It’s what my grandma used to make for me as a child and I’ve been really missing it.

So I made this, it’s pretty filling! Super warm, cozy and tasty.

Here’s what you’ll need!

-an apple (calories may vary)

-0 cal cooking spray

-oats (calories may vary)

-low calorie ice cream of your choice (calories may vary)

-cinnamon

-milk (calories may vary on brand)

I will show you all the brands I used to make mine so low cal! What I like about this recipe is that it’s so versatile. (:

First step is I chopped my apple in cubes, added my cashew milk, sprinkled some cinnamon and microwaved it until it became all gooey and soft. Then I added some zero cal cooking spray to my oats and microwaved them acting as the “butter” on a plate I scooped up my apples, and placed them down. Then I added my oats on top, and microwaved it again for about 45 seconds. I added ¼ cup salted caramel ice cream on top (arctic zero, SO GOOD.) it’s really good for this. Then I added the rest of the mixture from the cooked apple and drizzled in on top. This was SO yummy and filled me up. It’s a really satisfying dessert for only 121 calories (rounding it up to 125 for the cinnamon sprinkle) which is half the amount of a protein bar (my weakness) and a pretty good portion size!

Chicken Noodle Soup ~ 116kcals

This is literally my favorite low cal recipe. It's pretty great if you're restricting but don't want to feel completely empty! Plus its fast!! This taste exactly like the canned Campbells chicken noodle soup. What really makes it is the heart of plam noodles. They are honestly the most noodle like noodle substitute I've ever had. They're 20kcals and 4 net carbs for 75g. I use Palmini but any heart of plam noodles will do.

Ingredients:

- 300ml (or 2 2/3 cups) of Campbell’s® 30% Less Sodium Ready To Use Chicken Broth (20kcals)

- I/4 of a bouillon, (almost all bouillon cubes are a total of 30kcals therefore 1/4 is 7.5kcals. I am currently using Aurora Bouillon Mix Basil & Garlic Tablets)

- 41g of Shredded Chicken Breast (68kcals)

- 75g of Heart of Palm Pasta (20kcals)

1. Rise heart of plam noodles for 3 mins under hot water than 1 min under cold (this is important so they don't taste like palm)

2. Heat up chicken broth in pot when heated add bouillon and stir until melted and combined with broth

3. Add noodles and chicken

4. Let boil for 5 more minutes stirring occasionally.

And that's it it's really that simple!! Enjoy ✨!
