Your best bet is naked air-popped popcorn, made with a hot air popper (or using my microwave hack, below!). Popped without any oil, this diet-friendly snack weighs in at just 30 calories per cup.
Letâs start with granola. Granola is so simple to make, and even easier to freeze. It doubles as a breakfast or a snack. It can be served with yogurt or milk, or if youâre really in a rush or only have one hand free, it can be eaten by the handful on-the-go. I tested two things when looking into how to freeze granola:
The dry heat of an oven is simply not sufficient to complete the breakdown of anti-nutrients in oats to render even homemade granola a nutrient dense, easily digestible food. Perhaps if a person has an iron gut, then homemade granola that is soaked or sprouted might work on occasion. The reality is that most people have sensitive guts anymore due to several generations of children raised on antibiotics and processed foods.
