  • I have been eating clean for the past week (and loving it) and have found my new favorite snack - a red delicious apple sliced and dipped in fresh ground peanut butter! OMG, it is SOOOOO yummy! I didn't know something so healthy could taste so fantastic!

    I am looking for other great ideas. What healthy, yummy snacks do you eat and love??
  • Celery and Light Laughing Cow
    Roasted Chickpeas
    Celery and Hummus
    Pepitas
    Anything and hummus
  • Bell peppers dipped in hummus. Plain yogurt with fresh fruit, tiny bit of pure maple syrup and a few peanuts on top.
  • Ummm...
    Fiber one cereal I snack on it.. dry. I also eat no sugar added applesauce its yummy!!!!!!!!!!
  • Watermelon and cantaloupe. In the summer, not now. I like to take melons along on hot summertime hikes because they have a lot of liquid in them, I think. Somehow, they just taste so dang good then! And not sure why I thought of that right now...summer is a long way off!

  • I really like a greek yogurt with two wheat free, dairy free fig newmans.

  • I can't believe the crap I used to eat and call "snacks." I actually eat better now than I ever did--AND I'm losing weight doing it. Some of my favorites:

    - Thinly-sliced Fuji apples and slivers of sharp cheddar cheese

    - Yogurt spread on a couple of graham crackers (a little higher-carb and more indulgent than most of my snacks, but tastes like flavored cheesecake!)

    - Carrot sticks and hummus. Broccoli and hummus. Crispbread and hummus. I'm sensing a theme.

    - Louisiana navel oranges and a square of premium dark chocolate

    - Red grapes and shavings of parmigiano reggiano cheese dotted with balsamic vinegar

    - String cheese and cherry tomatoes if I want something savory, string cheese with ambrosia apples for a sweeter snack. String cheese is just awesome in general!

    - Pistachios, when I can limit myself to just a few, which is tough.
  • Melba snacks and hummus. Yuuuum.
  • I love all these ideas!

    I like oatmeal with a bit of cinnamon and raisins when I have access to a microwave or hot water.

    I also like string cheese and apples.

    Hummus is very good with a couple of triscuits (I LOVE the red pepper flavored kind. Mmm)

    Almonds - Blue Diamond is the best.

    Trail mix with dried fruit, pretzels and almonds.

    Applesauce.

    Bananas (I could live off of bananas alone )

    Pita chips and a bit of cheese. (These are wonderful, but I really have to limit myself to just a few chips.)

    When I am really craving something sweet, I'll munch on a couple of pieces of red licorice and a piece of fruit.

    Yogurt mixed with a couple pinches of granola.
  • Here are some of my favs:

    -1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese w/ small banana sliced up in it.
    -100 cal. grapes (1 cup) and a low fat cheese stick.
    -100 cal. Oreo thin crisps.
    -Nutri Grain cereal bars.
    -Chocolate Frosted Mini Wheats.
  • summertime I swear I could eat my weight in watermelon!! Other times of the year. Non microwave popcorn.
  • I forgot how much I love hummus until all of you started talking about it! I will be getting some from the grocers today (or finding a healthy recipe for some!)

    Right now my favorite healthy snacks are:
    Red Delicious Apple & 1 serving peanut butter ~ YUM
    Frozen berry blend (raspberry, blueberry, blackberries) & a serving of fat free vanilla yogurt..

    YUMMY!
  • Some great ideas here. I love learning from you all!

    - 2% Greek yogurt with some berries (frozen now, fresh in summer)
    - Small banana and 1/2 an ounce of almonds. This is so satisfying to me for some reason.
    - Cottage cheese and 1/2 an ounce of walnuts
    - Special K crackers and hummus, or Laughing Cow cheese, or cottage cheese
    - A 45 calories whole wheat tortilla with hummus or LC and carrots or celery
    - Turkey slices with spinach leaves
    - Shredded cabbage cole slaw with red wine vinegar - this is VERY filling for very few calories
