In need of nighttime snack ideas

[Sky61777 21]

I am four weeks post op. I still have my sweet tooth at night and am looking for ideas. I have been having sf ice pops, sf fudgsicles, sf pudding but still feel hungry. Any suggestions?

Cottage cheese and fruit. I like ricotta with a little cocoa powder and splenda, but I know some people aren't fond of the texture.

Try plain greek yogurt and add some of your favorite Crystal Lite favor to it. It is so good! I like strawberry lemonade. The high Protein in the yogurt should keep you full longer.

I had that problem. I drink a Protein Shake, it is very filling.

When I did Atkins back in the day, as one of my many failed attempts at losing weight, I found a simple recipe to help when I was jello'd and pudding'd out.

Just mix 1/4 c. Ricotta cheese

1/8-1/4 of a teaspoon of almond extract (start with 1/8 and taste to see if you want more)

1 packet of Splenda.

Mash it together with a spoon. It helped curb my appetite for richer Desserts. It really does taste much better than you would think. I even made it some when I was not dieting.

I like fresh pears and cottage cheese or sliced apple dredged in a little Peanut Butter.< /p>

I'm still pre-op, but I'm planning ahead for things to eat. I hate the texture of cottage cheese, but can deal with it smooth. I recently blended up some cottage cheese with a little honey & apple pie spice. It was pretty good! I also want to try it with pumpkin pie spice. I use my little 3 cup food processor, but a blender would probably do fine.

You could have a little fruit with yogart instead of cottage cheese. I was never a big fan of Greek yogart but have found a couple that have 10 gm Protein and are lower in fat and calories and do not taste like I am eating sour cream. I make a mini parfait using yogart, fruit and a spoonful of granola. This also helps with the sweet tooth.

Is there a particular brand of yogurt that you like?

I like Dannon Light & Fit Greek Yogurt. It has 80 calories and 12 grams of Protein.

[Idon'tseeu 16]

I like Yoplait Greek. 110 calories, 0 fat, 8 gm Protein ( less than quoted... must have been thinking if last one I tried) and NO artificial sweetners (Iam trying to stay away from those).

[Idon'tseeu 16]

Jussme......does the Dannon Greek use artificial sweeteners? I used to eat the regular and loved it but stopped because of the artificial sweeteners.

When I did the South Beach diet I did the ricotta, spleda packet and tsp of vanilla. But that almond extract from Adkins sounds good too!
