Concerned about adding extra pounds? If you munch on the right bites, you can slim-down while you celebrate. Make meals that work for you and the payoff will be double: You'll impress your guests with delicious dishes and be able to show-off a sexy bikini-body all summer long. Sounds sweet to me!
Try these satisfying appetizers. They're simple to prep and won't bust your calorie budget:
- Guacomole con Frutas As I've mentioned in the past, there's no need to fear the fat content in avocado, since it's mostly the healthy kind. Healthy bonus: the added fruit boosts the fiber content of this easy-to-prep app!
- Dates With Goat Cheese Wrapped in Prosciutto Serve everyone's favorite superfood (cheese!) without added fat. Even better: this flavorful treat takes mere minutes to make.
- Grilled Shrimp With Spicy Tamarind Dipping Sauce Need some energy? Grab a skewer. This zesty shrimp dish packs nearly as much iron as a steak, but for fewer calories.
- Eggplant Dip With only 72 calories per serving, you' can feel free to double dip! Healthy bonus: You'll get close to 30 percent of your daily vitamin A requirements and 4 grams of fiber. Serve with your favorite super veggies for a deliciously healthy party pleaser.
- Summer Rolls This light bite is perfectly pretty and rich in protein to boot.
Have fun this Memorial Day weekend. And remember to eat (and drink) responsibly. Happy summer!
