What's your favorite go to snacks?

I've got some new Snacks.

• Saffron Road Falafel flavored chickpeas. Yum! I have around 3/4 of an ounce for a snack. My new favorite in the afternoon.
• Simply Protein chips
• Dry roasted edamame (I used to have Crunchamame brand but switched to Wasabi flavored from World Market - much better)
• Swiss Miss diet hot cocoa (25 calories a pack - less calories than the sugar free Swiss Miss) it's really good with an extra shot of sugar free Torani chocolate or mint or orange or caramel or hazelnut or other flavor. You can up the Protein with 4 oz. of hot skim milk added to it, too. I like this in cold weather.
• Low carb quesadilla: I use a Carb Chopper low carb tortilla with an ounce of shredded cheese, maybe some salsa or jalapeno.
• Low carb pizza: I use a low carb tortilla or flatbread, add a smear of Pasta sauce, a sprinkle of Italian seasoning, an ounce of shredded mozzarella, and some sliced mushroom or pepperoni. Split it with a friend if it is too big.
• Tzatziki dip with veggies. I get the tzatziki from Trader Joe's but you can make it from greek yogurt very easily. I dip with veggie stix.
• Hummus dip with veggies. I get the individual packs from costco. I can only eat half a pack at a time so I save the other half for tomorrow's snack.
• Mini antipasto plate: a couple of roasted peppers, a thin slice of cheese, a thin slice of salami or deli meat, a couple of olives.< /li>
• Deviled eggs. I'm buying the pre-made hard boiled eggs at costco now for convenience. I pop out the yolk and mash in a touch of greek yogurt and some Worcestershire sauce and then pile the mush back into the whites. I also buy pre-made deviled eggs at Whole Foods on occasion.

I'm a huge fan of all greek yogurt. I try to watch the sugar and fat content. My fave is plain or vanilla yogurt mixed with fresh or frozen fruits. I have the Chobani Apple and Cinnamon fat free for desert often. I also discovered the Yoplait Greek 100 calorie greek yogurts. They're lower calories and have less sugar than Chobani and taste pretty darn good.

Beef Jerky is also a snack I enjoy often. My personal fave is Perky Jerky.

Greek yogurt fixed savory style is my new fave, like cucumber and dill.

I've also been trying out a bunch of new thick yogurts like Icelandic and German - available at Whole Foods and other higher end markets. They all have high Protein like Greek. Just watch the sugars, like Alex says.

This is gonna sound strange, I admit it.

I plan my food, and do not snack unless on the plan (I am an addict).

When I get a craving, I drink Water. Helps me feel full for a little while!

I, too, rarely ever snack now. I do plan snack food (ex. guacamole and Beanito chips), but I eat it as a meal.

Detour Protein Bars

[tomassini 1]

Have you try fruits baby food name brand beech nut , wat about chocolate pudding. Yogurt good too and the laughing cow cheese wedages.

[mvickyway 256]

I'm enjoying sunflower seeds. I measure a half cup serving and tgat is with the shells.

They take a long time to eat and have Protein and not too many calories. My blood pressure is lowish so I can have the salt.

The flavors are fun and I have a semi private office so can SPIT the seeds in to my cup with glee

[iamsoworthit 430]

Greek yogurt that is low in sugar

Nuts and seeds (measured or weighed because you can go overboard quickly)
