Do you like to eat croissants?  They can be rather good.  Not low calorie though.

If you slice them open, all the calories will fall out. Then you can stuff them with whatever you like and enjoy a low calorie snack. I don't have them often, but I really like them.

I never thought about slicing them open to have the calories fall out.  Good idea Jess.

I guess if you churn ice cream or ice milk (now called reduced fat ice cream of something like that) you mix it with air, giving you less of that tasty dairy stuff, and fewer calories.  Soft serve machines essentially do that, as they take that dairy product, whatever you call it, and mix it with air.  Lots of air.  Less dairy product per serving.

Do you have to slice them down the center, or can you tear them in half and shake the calories out?  I like them but don't eat them much.  Too many calories for something so non-filling.

Actually, tearing them probably works better than cutting. A tear would open more of the calorie-rich pockets than cutting would, so more calories should fall out. If you shake the pieces violently enough, you can even see the calories flying off in all directions. Be careful, make sure none of the calories land on your clothing. Although it won't harm your clothes, the calories will almost instant soak through your clothing and negate the effect.

You are so smart Jess.  Never thought of making sure calories do not hit my dress or whatever.

It really depends. I do love a croissant. I only have one meal a day. I don't do breakfast or lunch. But the quality of a good croissant can vary massively. If you ever tried one in France, they are just do die for... supermarkets in the UK are a very poor imitation, but yes, I do like them. If you can get a good one from a local bakery who knows what they're doing. Toasted and lightly buttered. (Not margarine, that's heresy!).
