Snack ideas

  • I am looking for any good, quick ideas that anyone may have for snacks.
  • String cheese. Ziplock bags of assorted nuts. Boiled egg. Fruit, obviously. Fibre One bars. Raw veggies, cucumber, bell pepper, carrots, etc.
  • laughing cow cheese, i cant say it enough lol. good on 100 cal muffins, on cooked carrots or any cooked veggie for that matter, great on low cal wraps or crackers, melt with a little milk in microwave and pour over 1 cup cooked whole wheat pasta (makes it like an alfredo sauce), the options are endless

    ohhhhhhh i almost forgot, cant believe i almost forgot this one! special k20 protien water is the absolute best thing going right now, it is a life saver for me, very filling and a great "on the go" item to have on hand.
  • I like crunching on a handful of dry whole-grain cereal.

    (Not the flake kind, but the squares kind)
  • I like to take a bit of plain yogurt (or vanilla, if plain isn't your thing), add a few tablespoons of Kellog's All-bran cereal (the bran buds type), and throw some fresh raspberries on top.

  • Lettuce is in season where I live - real live lettuce that's crunchy and tasty. I roll up a couple of large leaves in a small whole wheat pita with a tbsp. or two of hummus. I think it would be good with a wedge of Laughing Cow instead, too. Super quick and easy, and nice and cool for summer!
  • A few of my favorites are:

    FF plain Greek yogurt(80 cals) with 1/4 cup Bare Naked Fit Granola (120cals)

    and

    I'll buy the Musselmans lite flavored applesauce in the 1/2cup six packs and freeze them. One of those is 60cals, counts as a serving of fruit and the cherry frozen tastes like Italian Ice! Perfect for the hot, humid summer days!
  • Trail mix, dried fruit, no sugar added fudgscicles they only have 40 calories, homemade popcorn with lemon pepper seasoning, low-carb pickle wraps with ham, cream cheese and dill pickle. Yum! I'm hungry now!
