healthy snacks

AllyG303

Anyone have any ideas? I'm in a snack rut, and am really tired of unsweetened applesauce and almonds...and I'm not much of a raw veggie eater (I'll eat carrots raw, but I'd rather skip the snack then eat them.

I usually eat a protein, carb (in veggie/fruit form) and fat

hardboiled egg, two clementines, almond butter (spoonful)
3 slices of ham wrapped in pickle and avocado
jerky, pecans, dried fruit

I have very little processed carbs like crackers, pasta, chips or pretzels.

Ugh, I snack on lame things. I love clementines, peaches, bananas, trail mix, apple sauce, crackers (I love the wheatables).

Sometimes I just drink tea with few drops of honey if I am hungry at work but can't really eat while teaching.

I'm usually good if I'm at work, but when I am home, I like to raid the fridge/cabinets and if I see a bag of chips or candies- they're going straight to my stomach. I have no motivation to snack on healthy stuff when I am at home.

I usually bring fruit or granola bars.  I found these graham cracker things that were coated with chocolate that were delicious from Nature's Valley that were actually decently healthy.  Other than that I'm boring

80 calorie lite cheesesticks, apples, grapes, light and fit yogurt, whole wheat pretzels......

I'd rather snack all day than eat a regular meal. My favorites ( I like salty/crunchy snacks): Peanut/almond butter with apples or high fiber crackers Sharp cheddar with apples, grapes, or HF crackers Popcorn Turkey jerky Greek yogurt with grain-free granola Roasted seeds/nuts Dark chocolate covered raisins Graham crackers with whipped cream cheese Egg/tuna salad with HF crackers Popchips!

Greek yogurt or cottage cheese are my go-tos because they are actually pretty filling for the calories involved. I also love almonds but you already said you're sick of them Sometimes if I'm especially munchy and know that I need a bunch of stuff, I'll do "lite" popcorn because it's not a lot of calories, high in fiber, and keeps you busy for a while. If you're worried you'll eat too much, get those 100 calorie packs (although I think they are overpriced, honestly).

Dried fruit! Soo yummy and gives you the *crunch* you're craving to take the place of chips (my normal favorite snack).

I like to snack on rice cakes, oranges, chobani (pineapple), and the choc brownie kids cliff bars.

- roasted chickpeas seasoned with whatever your favorite spices/herbs are

- very small handful of roasted nuts - almonds are one of the best choices, or pistachios (just remember to keep your serving size small - nuts are very healthy but only in very low portions!) 

- grapes

- carrot sticks, broccoli florets, or sliced pepper dipped in hummus (again keep this to a fairly small portion - a tablespoon full of hummus is perfect)

- banana (but not too many bananas due to the density/sugars in a banana) 

- apple slices with one teaspoon peanut butter 

one of my FAVORITE snacks is a simple chocolate-banana smoothie.  put one banana, four ice cubes, a small pour of skim milk (or soy milk or almond milk), and a few squirts of sugar-free chocolate syrup in a blender, frappe until it is to a consistency of your liking, and enjoy!!! seriously, it sounds simple (and it is), but it is delicious too!!! if chocolate-banana isn't your thing, take out the chocolate squirts and add in some honey + cinnamon. this is a great flavor combo too! i also love adding a handful of strawberries or some sliced pineapple.
