    100 calorie sachets of peanuts, cucumbers (in any amount.. Lots of volume for very little calories!), cheese strings, plain yogurt cups, and sometimes a 100 calorie sachet of instant cream of wheat if I'm looking for something hot and soupy :smile:

    Millions of peaches... peaches for me.

    j/k. I love fruit, so right now it's peaches, strawberries and melons. It changes with whatever is in season. But I also eat chocolate, chips, ice cream, whatever I want.

    These are very helpful and great ideas. I tend to go for what's quick (meaning usually chips), so it's nice to see lots of healthy options.

    The souls of the innocent.

    And almonds or cocoa peanuts (same calories as regular peanuts but sweet and delicious like souls).

    I also like those resealable bags of candy like Reese's pieces minis (51 pcs/serving) and Hershey drops(15pcs/serving). They hit my sweet tooth and I can portion easily.

    Depends on my mood but just grabbing something, either an apple (if I must) or a choc chip cookie, lol. If I have a little more time, a small slice of wholemeal toast with Marmite, my absolute favourite. Actually, I feel the Marmite calling me right now...

    Greek cucumber yogurt dip - I never see this in the supermarket. Do you make it ? Any tips on where to buy this?

    Most protein bars have soy protein isolate in them and it is terrible for you. Not to mention the amount of sugar. Try roasting Chic Peas at home and putting a bag in your purse or you can never go wrong with raw almonds.

    I think it's tzastiki (not sure about spelling!) you're talking about- cucumber, mint and yoghurt , really easy to make yourself or lots of the supermarkets sell it.

    Trail mix!!! I usually mix up my own, and my favorites are:

    -raw almonds, dark chocolate (all natural), dried cranberries

    -raw pecans, dried cranberries, crystallized ginger (this one is the bomb!)


    I always have trail mix at home and at my desk at work.

    Room in my day: almonds

    Less room in my day:
    -snap peas (the crack of the vegetable kingdom - and so low in calories!)
    -cherries (or whatever fruit is in season)
    -animal crackers
    -cheese stick
    -Old Wisconsin Turkey sausage stick (only 45 calories! for sausage! --- makes a Wisconsin girl's heart skip a beat!)

    Thanks!! I am gonna google a healthy recipe for that and try it. I know I like it in general, but for some reason never really thought of having it around the house or making it.
