This is a compilation of my 100-calorie (or under) snacks from the last 12 months. They all take up to 5 mins to prepare. I’m not including snack bars. See also my general table of 100-calorie foods.
I’ll add my suggestions to a new page to which I’ll add further posted suggestions. Please note that the photos don’t always reflect the quantities in the nutritional tables.
Vegetable soup
A 350-g bowl of a home-made vegetable soup made without oil will be around 100 calories.
Tasty hot tomatoes
- empty a tin of plum tomatoes in juice into a pan
- turn on high and stir regularly
- meanwhile, add capers, crushed garlic, basil
- cook and reduce for as long as you can wait – the longer the better (up to 10 mins), to concentrate the flavour
- season to taste
- serve with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
