Yoghurt grapes

50 kcal per portion (10 grapes)

Recipe makes as many portions as you want.

 

Recipe:

Grapes (I used red grapes, but white grapes work just as well)

0% fat Greek yoghurt

Ground cereal or oatmeal (I used cereal)

 

Put the grapes on toothpicks (or broken saté sticks like I did).

Stir the yoghurt so that it's perfectly creamy (no liquid left).

Dip the grapes in the yoghurt first, then in the cereal or oatmeal.

Freeze them immediately so that the yoghurt doesn't start to drip.

If you make a big batch, make about 10-20 at a time and put them in the freezer

BEFORE you start working on the second batch.

And that is all.

Honestly, it's not even a recipe so much as a new way of eating grapes.

Now I wasn't sure what to expect from this.

I'd never tried to freeze grapes before.

I was half-expecting them to be frozen solid and thus inedible.

But they weren't. Oh, they were frozen, but they were 'weird frozen'.

Like freezerburn on icecream.

I carfully took a bite and...well, the taste is also kinda weird.

Not bad weird, but weird.

I've never tasted anything like it, so I can't really give you a comparison.

Maybe it was a bit like candied apples, except it tasted like grape instead of apple.

And there was no caramel.

So yeah, no comparison.

It was pretty good, though.

 

And they're very handy too.

I can just take one of them out of the freezer in the morning and

munch on it on my way to the train station or something.

No risk of overeating, since if you want to eat more than 5 of them,

you'd be forced to stay near the freezer, as you don't want them to thaw while you're eating.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My opinion on this:

 

Difficulty:

★

Honestly, put a stick in a grape, dip it and freeze it.

You couldn't screw this up if you tried.

 

Taste:

★ ★ ★

It's literally unlike anything I've ever tasted before.

I liked it, but I didn't 'I-could-binge-on-these' like it.

Which is good, I guess.

 

Portion size:

★ ★ ★

I took 10 grapes as a portion size,

since then it would be 50 calories, which is a decent snack.

These are 5 calories a piece, so if you want 20 of them, that's 100 kcal.

If you want 30, that's 150.

If you only have one, like I did, that's 5 calories.

So the portion-size really depends on how much of them you want to eat.

I think 5 calories is a lot for one or two tiny bites of food, but then again,

it looks and tastes like candy.

And candy is pretty much ALWAYS high kcal.

I mean, tic-tacs are 2 kcal a piece and those aren't even ONE THIRD the size of this thing.
