Healthy Snacks?

  • For the most part I can survive without the sweets, but I am horrible when it comes to the cheesy, sour cream and onion, ranch, etc type snacks. I absolutely love the Quaker Quakes (which thankfully aren't too unhealthy), Doritos, Sunchips, etc. I know the Quakes aren't too bad and they do have Baked versions and/or 100 calorie packs in some of the snack which make them a bit more forgiveable, but do any of you have any other snack ideas that can satisfy cravings for that type of food?
  • Laughing Cow cheese wedges...air pop popcorn...apples (they aren't salty, but they are crunchy)

    I'm more of a sugar carb-a-holic myself...
  • Hummus might be good with crunchy stuff like sugar snap peas or jicama.
  • Razz, I know just what you're talking about... I don't keep any of that food in the house. I recently bought a bag of wasabi peas at Trader Joes. I used to eat a whole bag but made it last a week. They're spicy and crunchy but low carb. I also put Tobasco sauce on 97% fat free popcorn for some flavor.

    Also: carrot sticks, apple sticks, Ak-Mak crackers with tuna, Fiber One bars.

    Some day I hope to have enough self control to have one serving of Cheddar & Sour Cream Ruffles...
  • Popcorn
    Rice Cakes
    Baked Tortillas w/ salsa
    Crackers w/ tuna
    Nuts
  • I like the Garden of Eden Red Hot Blues tortilla chips--they're quite spicy so I don't wolf them down too fast!

    I also do 94% ff microwave popcorn, greek salads w/low-fat feta, red onions and kalamata olives (just a bit of dressing) and whole wheat pretzels with basic yellow mustard as a dip.
  • Garden of Eden baked blue corn tortilla chips with either salsa or hummus are my favorites!
