    My go to foods are: boiled eggs, dark chocolate oven baked almonds or the toasted coconut flavor, Greek yogurt with a mix of oats, chia, hemp seeds and buck wheat with a little fruit (sometimes I will use protein granola instead). I am having aidells chicken pineapple meatballs tonight which are great as a meal or snack.

    Egg salad. I dip pork rinds in it. YUM.

    I also LOVE spaghetti squash--- I roast a big FAT one on the weekend and then just reheat as needed. My preferred way to eat it is with salt, pepper and butter. SO GOOD!

    Sliced home grown tomatoes with basil and mozarella are delightful, too. :)

    Thank you! Boiling up some eggs right now, and making my grocery list for tomorrow. Thanks for the inspiration, I need to get out of my rut of the same 3 snacks every day.

    I'm finding the Quest Protein Chips are a great sub for that crunchy fix and 20 grams protein

    I have fallen in love with the Chobani oats yogurts. The sugar profile is a *little* high, but I got them cleared with the nut, since they are so awesome otherwise. :)

    Also, cheese and fruit (any sort), hummus with celery, radishes (just plain with salt) and cucumber salad.

    I don't know if this is a faux pas or not but I started a FB page called the Potluck Pouch. It is dedicated to recipes and products. Feel free to check it out. But to answer your original post...I'm addicted to spiraled zucchini noodles and massaged kale salads.

    @tat2cookie what are your egg/guac/hummus proportions for those deviled eggs? I think I could easily become addicted to those, all things I love.

    I do that with my eggs too. I add wholly guacamole ( never tried added hummus) snack packs.

    I've started making my own muesli which is full of fiber (I find it hard to get enough) and vitamins. Similar to Janet I use oats, coconut, mixed nuts (whatever on special at supermarket), pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, flaxseeds etc. Basically whatever I can get my hands on I put in my supermuesli. Goes in the oven at 150C for about 30mins giving it a few stirs in between to make sure doesn't burn. Last night I added some chopped dates... so much better than anything pre-made and VERY easy once you get the hang of it!

    Also lots of recipes online for homemade protein balls. My favourite ones are the truffles here: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/healthy-recipes-4-gourmet-whey-protein-truffles.html
