Summer Nibbles Platter

How to Keep it Healthy and Tasty

Do you agonise over what to take when you are asked to
bring the nibbles platter for the BBQ?

Do you wonder what could you take that wouldn’t blow your diet, but which wouldn’t look like diet food either?

Here’s some ideas to make up a healthy platter.

Cut a medium sized pita bread in half, through the middle and then cut those two layers into small triangles. Spray with cooking spray and bake in a 180 degree oven for about 10 minutes or until they are crisp. Don’t let them burn!
Put the pita crisps, plus rice crackers and perhaps some Vita Wheat mini grain snacks onto a platter.
Cut into sticks the following: carrots, capsicum and celery.
Add cherry tomatoes and small florets of broccoli
For dips you can use low fat hummus, tzatziki, salsa, or make a cottage cheese dip by blending low fat cottage cheese, a few sundried tomatoes or a teaspoon of pesto and seasoning of your choice.
To make your own tzatziki, use 200g low fat plain yoghurt + ½ cup grated cucumber + chopped mint + black pepper to taste. Chill for 30 mins before serving.

A colourful, healthy fruit platter could consist of the following:

Strawberries, chunks of fresh pineapple, watermelon, rockmelon, kiwifruit cut in half, fresh cherries, fresh apricot halves
Traffic light fruit skewers: strawberry, pineapple + kiwi chunks on mini skewers
A few chocolate dipped strawberries
Some mini marshmallows (from the baking aisle in the supermarket)

Life Changing
I now see my nutritionist every Wednesday and she is one of the most important people in my life. She teaches me and mentors me on my long journey to losing 40 kilos of fat. She makes me feel very comfortable, like I am part of the Real Nutrition family. She fine tunes my healthy eating plan every week and tops up my nutritional supplements. She supported me to move to another gym and get a personal trainer to undergo regular resistance training and cardio sessions.To date I have lost 14 kilos of fat. I feel so healthy, strong and in control.I haven't been sick for months, and my doctor wants to take me off my blood pressure and cholesterol medication at my next 3 monthly visit.
