| | | No carb, low carb night-time snacks
A chunk of pepper jack cheese, a turkey/provolone roll-up, a hard-boiled egg, an Atkins shake, an Atkins bar, a cucumber, a small handful of nuts are some of my nightime grabbits. Not all at once, of course!

Ingredients
1 cup cola beverage (I used Coke Cherry Zero to compliment the cherry Jell-O)
1 small pkg sugar-free cherry Jell-O
16 ounces cream cheese, cubed and softened
1 teaspoon almond flavoring
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, melted
Method
Pour cola in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Pour over Jell-O in medium mixing bowl. Stir until Jell-o is disolved. Add cream cheese to dissolved Jell-O. Add melted chocolate and almond flavoring. Beat well with electric mixer for 2 minutes on medium speed. Spoon into 12 muffin cups that have been lined with cupcake liners. Chill for 2-3 hours or until firm.
Makes 12 muffins, 2 carbs each (without garnish)!

A favorite flavor combination.

| | | Sugar free popcicles from Schwans, variety of flavors in a box and 4 carbs. Slimfast creamy chocolate shakes-you can get them with 6 carbs now. The meat and cheese thing is a very good one. Sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and almonds.
