Snacks

I need some suggestions for healthy snacks I mostly eat healthy meals but snacks are more challenging

My go-to snack is Wheat Thins, followed by green smoothies (with 0% fat Greek yogurt as the base), and then I just discovered Popcorners Flex protein crisps and the bbq option is amazing! 90 calories per serving with 10g of protein. It was by the 'healthy' chips/popcorn at the store.

String cheese
Baby carrots
Cucumbers
Any raw veggies really
Clementines
Yogurt
Apples
Grapes
Any fruit really
Protein Bar
Nuts
Hard boiled eggs

I like to do a string cheese and two clementines or a string cheese and carrots & cucumbers. I also started buying the Sargento Balanced Breaks that have cheese cubes with dried fruit and nuts. Sometimes I'll have an apple with peanut butter or a yogurt with some cut up strawberries. I recently tried the Olly protein slim boost bars. Those are really good. I like the Luna protein bars too, but sometimes I just get the regular dark chocolate and almond Nature Valley granola bars.

I love clementines, but those can be calorie bombs because 1 usually ends of being 5 or 6 for me Last night I ate over 200 calories in them because I wasn't paying attention to how many I was grabbing-they're so darn good!

If I'm feeling extra snack-y and I'm about to watch some serious Netflix or a movie or something, I'll make a snack plate with a boiled egg, 2 pickle spears, a cheese wedge/string cheese, some strawberries, and baby carrots. Sometimes I'll skip the cheese and do broccoli + 2 TB greek yogurt ranch. The whole plate comes out to 200-250 cals and you actually end up feeling satisfied!

Looks like you got all the same inputs I would normally give from the young ladies above. Just remember even a healthy choice can become a bad choice if you overindulge.
My snack of choice is peanut butter or nuts. But I sometimes go overboard, unless I take the time to weigh or measure. If I let myself eat PB outta the jar, it's on like donkey kong, half the jar will be gone in no time. Same with nuts, if I don't weigh out a serving, I'll put a hurting on the can.
