What is your favorite snack?

[amanda heimann]

So I am on a diet and am looking for some healthy snacks that are not boring. We eat lunch early so around 3:00 I am in need of a snack.

Right now I am eating natural popcorn that was sprayed with Butter Pam and some white cheddar seasoning.

I love, love, love baby carrots :) I eat 'em plain all the time.

Another yummy low-cal snack:
Vanilla yogurt, crushed pineapple, pecans, and a wee bit of coconut
I think this was around 150 or so calories, low in fat, and really filling.

I also LOVE smoothies. My favorite is Peanut Butter Banana.
Ice, milk, vanilla yogurt, 1 banana, 1-2 TBSP peanut butter. This is super-filling and really good. I know the peanut butter is high in fat, but....I tend to use it sparingly and that protein really fills me up and keeps me out of the pantry :)

Protein is so the way to go. I'm not sure exactly what kind of diet you're on. I've never dieted, so not sure what's "good" for you or not. But when I want a snack, I'll cut a couple of slices of cheese--especially like mozzarella cheese. It seems to fill me up for a while, so like Christine, it keeps me out of the pantry.

ummmmmmmmmm
not sure how healthy this is.
but i love ritz crackers with cream cheese.. hmmmmm yah, thinkin the cream cheese may not be so healthy, but they do HAVE low fat don't they.. rofl
i love baby carrots and ranch too.
cheese is always cubed and ready to grab a small handful.
bananas, strawberries, grapes and peaches are a great go to for something sweet.
don't you love summer and all the fresh fruits.
can't wait for the peach tree to get fruit later this summer.
yum!

- carrot chips with salsa
- smoothie made with 1 c. milk, 1 c. froz strawberries and some splenda - blend in blender til smooth
- sliced apple with 1 oz. cheese
- yogurt/cottage cheese mix with fruit (strawberries, other berries, or pineapple)
- rice cake w/ 1 tbs peanut butter and 1/2 banana

I love baby carrots, light popcorn with a little spray butter, pretzels, almonds, mmm snacks. LOL!

[AndreaBurns]

Love me some good Bold Chex Mix!

[chloe]

Definitely proteins, that keeps me full for a long time too! I love some fat free yogurt, a slice or two of good prosciutto (italian smoked ham, but high in sodium), some cheese even. If you're a sweet tooth, fruits are at their best in summer. Enjoy some for me: I have allergies and can't have any fruit besides bananas and citrus!

My favorite snack: Plocky's (http://www.plockys.com/products.php) Black Beans and Rice chips. YUMMMMM! With some yummy mango salsa...delish!! :good:

[KimberlyGiarrusso]

I make my own trail mix out of soy nuts, dried cranberries, raisins, honey roasted nuts and dang I can't remember the other thing I put in there, and they are my favorite part :giggle:

If I am feeling a little naughty, I like to use chocolate covered raisins instead of the regular ones.

I've been on a cantaloupe kick lately -but they are a lot of work! I wish you could peel them like a banana

[nightlily]

yup, ditto on the canteloupe...
I lurve me some celery with red-pepper hummus.... ohhhh sooo yummy.
Also 1 oz lo-fat cheddar and a small apple
a banana and a light yogurt
a rice cake smeared with a tbspn. of peanut butter
a handful of almonds and blueberries
6 oz ofV8 and 1 cup light popcorn
a cup of grape tomatoes and a cheese stick
I'm big into the fruits and veggies, can you tell? lol

and my not-so healthy fave is guacamole c corn chips.
Yum!

[anotherjenny]

Red seedless grapes are my favorite snack. Well, my favorite healthy snack. LOL

[Paula]

Well, you can't go wrong with fruit. I also love popcorn, cheese and carrot sticks with ranch dressing.

[kristaky]

lately i'm on a low fat colby jack cheese and turkey pepperoni kick

[kelleighr]

I love Baked Lays, but then I can eat a whole bag if they are just sitting in front of me. When I'm dieting, a better option that I LOVE is frozen grapes. I also love frozen blueberries with whipping cream in a can (no carbs) for dessert when the rest of the family is eating ice cream.

Amanda...you have to get some edamame!! So yummy, so nutritions and really filling as a snack!! They will save your life.
