I need some snack ideas. I try to do fruit and veggies as much as possible but if I use them to much then I'll get tired of eating it. So the things on my snack list are fruit with peanut butter..apples and banana's. I'll eat carrots and celery w/pb, yogurt, cottage cheese w/apple butter, special K bars...
I've become more of a snacker-- especially at work--
Raw almonds
laughing cow cheese with a few triscuits (the low sodium ones)
Edamame
Fiber one bars
fruit
String Cheese
Mini Pitas w/ hummus
Baby carrots and sugar snap peas
I definately look for things with a fair amount of fiber and protein so that my snacking will actually be filling.
My favorites are laughing cow cheese with triscuits, chocolate flavored rice cake snacks, greek yogurt with a tiny bit of granola, and strawberries or blueberries.
~Light laughing cow cheese with low fat crackers
~an apple ( i used to hate them)
~a yogurt.. my faves are greek ones and skyr. So thick and usually they have 16 grams of protein- makes you SUPER full.
~Popchips (althought I don't get them a lot because I tend to eat more than I should
- Fruit - of any variety! lately its been nectarines because they're in season and lovely
- corn thins (either the lightly flavoured ones or plain with either peanut butter or nutella)
- nuts
- homemade muffins
- yoghurt
- muesli
- sesame snaps
- vita wheats with vegemite
- hommus or tzaziki with carrots or rice crackers
- shaved ham rolled up with a thin slice of avocado
- small tins of tuna
- baked beans
- ricotta cheese mixed through with honey
- english muffins
- homemade slices or biscuits
... thats about all I can think of off the top of my head lol
I love a light yogurt with a granola bar (only 200 calories!) with some calorie-free flavored seltzer water. So good. Otherwise, fruit or just a slice of cheese does it for me. If I'm starving, I sometimes make myself a serving of oatmeal since it's only 160 calories and really filing!
- fruit, cereal, crackers (kashi makes some great ones), vegetables, green tea, popcorn, dark chocolate, yogurt, pb+j thinwich sandwiches, small servings of left overs
I count calories so nothing is really off-limits. I even snack on ice-cream occasionally setting aside calories for it
I make sure all my snacks are clean and have a mix of lean proteins and complex carbs. I eat clean so a lot of my recipes come from Tosca Reno's books and I I'll make a big batch of whatever I'm cooking the night/weekend before and take smaller portions for snack/lunch.
If my morning snack is an apple, then I'll eat about 10 almonds with it or raw veggies w/ homemade clean hummus so that it has a proper mix of cc & lp and will keep me full.
