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 rolled grains are not expanded by absorption of water as when oatmeal is prepared as a hot cereal, so granola is a more concentrated food. It is eaten dry, or in milk or with yogurt, or sprinkled on fruits or other cereals. As it keeps well, many hikers and campers carry it, loose or in the form of granola bars, as an energy food.
