Hey all. I was wondering what everyone did for healtheir snack options. Say if you're craving salts, sweets, or chocolates.

    A lot of berries are sweet. As for chocolate, switch to dark chocolate. You don't have to go super dark to where it tastes bad, just darken it up a little bit. I don't like salt, not because of health or anything, I just don't enjoy the flavor, so I can't help you with that one.

    If you're craving something have a little bit of it. If you still want more half an hour later then have more. I find spacing it out like this helps me distinguish a real craving from an emotional/binge desire.

    Salt: kale chips
    Sweet: clementines
    Chocolate: chocolate! I go for as dark as I can stand. About 87-90% cacao

    Some of my favorites are:

    Salty/crunchy
    Air popped popcorn
    Seasoned roasted chickpeas
    Dill pickles
    Cut up vegetables with hummus


    Sweet
    Greek yogurt with a bit of granola
    A Ghiridelli dark chocolate square
    (That's all I've got, because if I'm really wanting ice cream, nothing else will do.)

    Oh, well, one more... I tried making brownies out of black beans, and they were REALLY good--moist and dense and rich. They lasted about 10 minutes once my kids got into them.
