Low-Calorie, Low-Fat Sugar Snap Peas with Ricotta, Mint, and Lemon

Reduced Calorie and Reduced Fat Sugar Snap Peas with Ricotta, Mint, and Lemon: 109 calories and 7g of fat.

I was looking for a side dish to accompany Mother's Day dinner, and I found a recipe for whipped ricotta topped with lemony, minty sugar snap peas. My mother loves ricotta cheese, so I knew she would love it (she did!). I wanted to see if I could make it healthier without sacrificing any of the flavor.

I made a few swaps here to reduce the fat, which significantly lowers the calorie count. If you're working on body composition, this recipe can help you enjoy the flavor and texture of whipped ricotta and marinated peas without compromising your goals.

The swaps cut 93 calories and 11g of fat without sacrificing flavor. The recipe is currently available for $4. If you want more Smart Swaps, consider subscribing to my community for access to all recipes for $9.99/month or $99.99/year.

Let me know if you try it!
