Snacks?
Snacky food?
1 oz. of a really good cheese.
half pint of fresh berries with one 6oz. container of vanilla yogurt dumped on them.
One whole dill pickle, for the crunch.
hmmmmmmmmm? what else? I'm cutting trans fats out of my diet completely, so that takes care of relying on crackers and such for snacky foods.
tomato sandwiches on whole wheat or sourdough bread, using just barely half a teaspoon of mayo on one slice of bread and a good bit of dijon mustard on the other. With iced tea.
Oh, but that's getting into meals, isn't it? better stop.
Well, recently I discovered the joys of 100% natural fruit popsicles, but they are kind of expensive and sometimes have a lot of sugar. I've scoured the net and found a few recipes for homemade ones to try with real fruit and juice. Now, I just have to find "popsicle trays" somewhere (obsessive compulsive Chris needs it "just perfect")!
---Peanut Butter Banana Shake: 1/4 of a banana, 1 packet of low-sugar cocoa mix, 1 tsp vanilla, 1/4 cup 2% milk, 1 Tbls peanut butter, 3 Tbls vanilla protein powder and some ice cubes in a blender.
---Turkey and Crackers: turkey, a tiny amount of low-fat cream cheese, and slices of turkey and avocado on whole-grain rye crackers.
Wow, those sound yummy! Triscuits are so good, even without anything. I love ham, especially turkey ham. We also like to make pita pizzas with these chicken sundried tomato and basil sausages we get from Costco. SO good, and healthy!
Hmm I love low carb tortilla with hummus
Chicken broth
apples
oranges
string cheese
plain ff yogurt flavored with davinci syrup
Mushrooms
cucumbers with ff sour cream
celery with peanutbutter

lc ww tortilla with peanut butter
Mmmmmm must stop typing now, I'm getting extremely hungry lol.
Hmm... let's see.
Three slices of prosciutto and cantaloupe.
Skinny Cow fudge bar.
Celery and Neufchatel (low fat cream cheese.)
A Banana.
Rice balls.
Pickles.
1 oz of sweet-hot beef jerky (I find this especially good for keeping in my purse for emergencies).
1/4 cup of chile-lime garbanzo beans or fava beans.
A cappuccino.
A whole artichoke with miso dressing.
Fresh Pineapple, Cantelope, Strawberries, Oranges, Apples, Bananas, Blueberries, hmm...fresh fruit in general. I hate chopping the ones you have to chop up though (arthritis) so the hub does the chopping. I am also a big fan of almonds. I buy them blanched and un-salted. Others to add are...Light Chocolate Soy Milk, Wheat Thins, sugar free drumsticks, "quakes" rice cakes, low fat yogurts with granola mixed in, turkey sandwich on whole wheat...hmmm I'm hungry I better go eat now.
