A half serving of cereal with skim milk, or a slice of wheat bread with 2 teaspoons of reduced fat peanut butter and a half teaspoon of honey and I wash it down with 1/2 a cup of skim milk - it is the next best thing to a peanut butter cookie!
so far I've been making veggie salads with a whole mix of different veggies and some low fat dressing and a little parm. it's good finger food when i need to munch!
One thing i found i liked is an apple cut off the core and sliced to look like apple sticks with some lemon juice on them.
OOOOh, I just got the Nature Valley peanut butter granola bars, and I love them! I always used to get the chewy ones, but these rule!
Aren't they awesome??? Nice & crunchy. Not too happy with the sugars/fiber ratio, but I will just have to be patient enough for Kashi to make their own granola bars.
Kashi instant oatmeal packets are awesome for a quick snack at work, so are the little tins of fruit packed in it's own juice or unsweetened applesauce.
i love
hard boiled egg whites
sugar free jello with fruit and some fat free cool whip
clementines
bananas ( my midmorning snack everyday)
chips and salsa. i make my own salsa that i put on everything. i make it so spicy that if i'm eating it with chips i can only eat a little anyway. i get those fat free tostitos. this is a special treat because cornchips on large quantities don't digest well with me.
nice, expensive chocolate. green and blacks organic chocolate comes in big bars with 30 pieces on chocolate. 20 cal a piece. i get the dark or the maya gold and treat myself to a piece every now and then. the sugar contenet is lower than that of heavily processed chocolates so i don't have sugar cravings.
mashed rutabagas. i keep a container in the fridge at all times. when i get a craving for some kind of salty comfort food i get them out. 1/2 cup has 50 cal and half of you daily recomended intake of potasium.

Kashi is making their own granola bars now. yeah! They are yummy too. I don't see them on their website though. I picked up the box at my local health food chain so maybe you can find them near you. They had 3 different flavors and the one I have has almonds and I think dried cranberries plus the grains. Only 110 calories...don't remember the other info. They are different than the Go-Lean Bars. I'll try to remember to come back when I'm home and post more details from the packaging.
i like to have graham crackers and put fat free coolwhip on them and freeze them it is like an ice cream sandwich. It really help me with the ice cream cravings. I also enjoy the 100 calorie packs of baked oreos with a 1/2 cup of skim milk.
