Puffed Rice
Fry 2 handfuls of puffed rice in 1 Tablespoon of oil and add some seasoning, turmeric and salt. Store this in an air tight container and you can binge as part of your tea time Healthy snacks.
Baked Tortilla with Yogurt Dip (PLUG)
Corn tortilla chips and tacos are more filling than flour ones, and the non-fried ones have fewer calories than fried ones. Bake these with some refried beans or have them with some chopped tomatoes or a yogurt dip. If you aren’t in the mood to whip up something that requires a lot of cooking, Yogurt dips complement this dish extremely well and fulfil your cravings, too!
