LC and low fat snack ideas?

[BunnyD]

I'm having a girl's night this weekend with some friends, and we're all going to bring snacks. Almost all of them are on Weight Watchers so they're watching calories/fat. Any ideas on what I can bring that will be both LC and low fat friendly?? So far they're going to have stuff like low fat popcorn and fruit, all stuff I can't have.

nuts!? depending on the rung you are on.
A selection of cheese
cold meats

or could you talk your girlie friends into having a bbq (grill) thus eating meat? they could have chicken or something.

Chilled cocktail shrimp with cocktail sauce for dipping (make it low carb they'll never know the difference!)

Can you get any sugar free syrups? Like Davinci? Sprinkle one envelope of KNOX over 1/2 cup cold water. Let it swell for a bit, then heat the water to dissolve the gelatin completely. Add 1/2 cup of your favorite syrup... I like to use lime or pineapple for this. Mix together then beat it into cream cheese - see you can use the lowfat cheese instead and it doesn't compromise your carbs. Refridgerate until solid. Cut into squares and put them in muffin cups to be pretty and easy to serve.

You change your flavours by changing the syrup you use. Raspberry, mmmm... Lime with zest for garnish on top... chocolate with a cocoa powder dust... coconut with freshly toasted coconut on top... Depending on how many will be there, I once made a variety tray with several flavours.

I like MoG's and Rich's idea----shellfish and meat (particularly poultry) are relatively low carb and low fat. You can offer a few sauces to accomodate the dieters.

Chicken kebabs: chunks of chicken with fresh veg or fruit on sticks, served with a variety of dipping sauces.

MoG's shrimp cocktail idea or even chilled, boiled shrimp served with different sauces.

Like dotsamantha said I usually Bring a big veggie tray, celery, mushrooms, peppers, raw cauliflower, carrots (you don't have to eat them), with 2 dips. full fat blue cheese, and a low fat one --usually i buy a cheap low fat chip type dip so i don't have a whole bottle of salad dressing i won't use.

I make those jalepeno poppers i saw a pic of on this board and use the lower fat cheese ( can't spell it) neuf-----. top them with crumbled bacon. OMG they are so good, Lady at work said, i will pay you to make them for us LOL. I say, if they are providing their lower fat but hi carb snack, take whatever satisfies your needs
