Would be interested to know what healthy snacks you are eating to keep you going? Main meals I'm trying to eat salads, vegetables, homemade soups etc but i struggle for snacks. I go to grab crisps, chocolate, biscuits. I have always factored them in to my calories for MFP but especially now im pregnant i know it would be much better to eat healthier snacks. I know there is always fruit but its not the same as candy :(

    Now that the MS has subsided my snacks now are string cheese, raw almonds, trail mix, yogurt and goldfish crackers. That's what I have stocked up at work.

    At home, I have fruit, veggies and hummus. :-)

    I have been rotating with trail mix, apples with peanutbutter, celery with peanutbutter, fresh fruit with 1/2 cup of yogurt, crackers with cheese and hummus, & peanutbutter and jelly sandwich. If you have not noticing the repeating theme I have been really craving peanutbutter this pregnancy.

    I've had veggies and ranch dip, but just don't really enjoy it that much.

    :heart: peanut butter!!! I've been enjoying that lately with fuji apples. Tastes like a caramel apple only healthier!

    I like the granola bars with yogurt, apples, green olives and I have really been on a pop corn kick. Not so healthy, but I love Crunch n Munch!
