5 Healthy Smoothies Under 200 Calories!

When you're on a diet it's very hard to find snacks that subside your hunger but keep you within that dreaded calorie limit, especially when you're busy. I find that eating fresh fruit makes you feel really healthy and happy however if you are eating the same things day in day out it can get pretty boring.

 

 

That is why I have found 5 smoothie recipes that not only taste amazing but are all under 200kcal per serving! This way you are still eating the fruit which is diet friendly but it mixes it up a little for you so you don't get as bored!

What I love about these smoothies is you can pretty much add whatever you want to them, if you don't like banana have raspberries if you don't like yogurt have milk! My favourite out of all the smoothies is the Banana Berry Cooler, it's delicious and so refreshing. I will definitely be drinking a lot of these when the summer comes! They're also good to stick in the freezer and either eat as a frozen yogurt or simply have another time. And they're great for when you're on the go.

I was in the mood for baking today and as I'm on a healthy eating diet I wanted to make something that wouldn't use up all my calories for the day. I love Oatmeal and Raisin cookies and they, out of all flavours of cookie, seemed to be the healthiest so I gave it a whirl!

Below is the recipe and method for you to try them out yourselves, at 74kcal per cookie it's really not the end of the world if you DO give in to temptation once in a while.

 

 

All you will need is:

 

30g unsalted butter

90g brown sugar

100g golden syrup

1 egg

1tbs water

60g plain flour

1tsp cinnamon

1/2tsp salt

1/4tsp baking powder

140g oats

60g raisins

 

 

It's also handy if you have a stand mixer with a beater however it's not necessary.

 

Method

 

Step 1

preheat your oven to 190c

In a bowl(for your mixer) add the butter, brown sugar, golden syrup, egg and water and mix thoroughly

Step 2

In a seperate bowl seive your flour, cinnamon and baking powder then add your oats and salt. combine together using your hand.

Step 3

Add your dry ingredints to your wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Add your raisins right before the end and work them into the mixture.

Step 4

Grease your baking tray then weigh out the cookie dough at 20g per cookie. Spread them out evenly on the baking tray(s).

Step 5

Bake the cookies at 190c for 10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Once removed from the oven leave them to sit for at least 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling wire to cool completely.

 

And you're finished, Enjoy! Very easy to bake and even though they're only 74kcal per cookie they taste amazing!
