Hello everyone!

I usually eat big salads or a healthy sandwich with low fat fixings for lunch but I need some ideas for some healthy snacks.

I am getting a bit bored with salad and fruit and sometimes crave something sweet.

Any ideas would be appreciated-thanks!

I know you said you were tired of fruit . But i like to make a fruit salad. I use whatever fruit that is in season that i like,
and i chop it up in a bowl. then i mix in a couple of tespoons of
either the strawberry sugar free kool aid or the tropical punch
one, and then i mix in a little fat free cool whip. It really good.

It is funny you should mention fruit salad. Since a lot of fruit is coming into season I have been making fruit salads with things like strawberries, nectarines, blueberries, bananas and cantaloupe. I then take some light vanilla yogurt and put that on top with some Natural Oven's Granola. It really makes a nice filling snack.

Let's see, here are some of mine:

Pria bar (made by Power Bar) - 2 pts.
stick pretzels (28) - 2 pts.
string cheese - 1 pt.
rice cakes (2) - 2 pts.
Mrs. Meringue cookies (4) - 2 pts.
Skinny Chips (1 c.) - 1 pt.
Weight Watchers Mississippi Mud Cake -3 pts. (Yum)

Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

I love fresh fruit salad...the kool aid and cool whip sounds yummy!

I have never really eaten granola but I will give the fruit, yogurt and granola combo a try.

Thanks Domina for putting the points on those snacks.

Sweet tooth, hmm. Oh yes.

We get these biscotti at Sam's that are individually wrapped; two points each. Great when dipped in coffee.

For a real treat, try the instant Skinny Vanilla Vibe latte, a mix that's easy to make, for just one point.

When I want to splurge with my points and want some ice cream, I get either a Good Humor Toasted Almond Bar or Chocolate Eclair Bar ...4pts.

I also like Quaker's Chocolate Chip Chewy Granola Bars.. 3pts.

I love an apple with a T of FF carmel dip that's a filling 2 pt. snack; skinny cow ice cream sandwich. I cut them in half for 1 pt. ; blue bunny sugar free fudge bar = 1 pt.; I use splenda sugar substitute on fruit, etc. It really does tast like sugar it's just more flaky than granular like reg. sugar. Has anyone cooked with splenda?

Thanks to all of you for the great snack ideas!

I get a post-lunch sweet tooth no matter what I eat for lunch, so I keep hard candy in my desk. Right now I'm working on a bag of Baskin & Robbins mint chocolate chip, individually wrapped, which are 20 calories and 1/3 gram fat so no points so long as I eat just one; same goes for indivually wrapped lifesavers. The key with hard candies is not to chew them up but to suck on them for a long time, which fools your mind into thinking you're eating lots of sweets

[Charbar]

just to let you know, lenore, that they also make a sugar-free version of that candy.. 10 calories each. I picked up mine at wal-mart.
They give you that sweet taste!
