Super FILLING snack, what's your favorite?

I LOVE the 100 calorie kettle corn popcorn.

Agreed! One of my favorites as well. VERY FILLING!!!

I've posted about this before, so forgive me if you've seen this. My new favorite snack is sliced pears with fat-free, sugar-free vanilla pudding. You use the pears as a spoon so you get the sweet from the pudding and the crunch from the pears... YUMMY!! And when I'm done, I'm not only full but I feel like I've eaten a dessert. It's really good!

That sounds good I am going to have to try that.

I like cottage cheese with any fruit

Here's another (which I just ate). Apple with a tbsp of peanut butter. Came to 180 cal. Be aware, this is low in protein. Normally I wouldn't recommend it, but I happen to be well on track with protein today.

What about good old homemade vegetable soup! (Can you tell it's winter here)

The post about oats made me remember a recipe I used to use on 6 week body makeover that was wonderful.

Granola

◦1 cup Splenda
◦½ cup water
◦¼ teaspoon cinnamon
◦1 tablespoon maple or vanilla extract (I use 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 teaspoon almond extract, 1 teaspoon imitation butter extract.)
◦4 cups quick oats (I use ½ quick oats and ½ old-fashioned. I liked the texture of the combination.)

Pre-heat oven to 275°. Combine Splenda, water, cinnamon and extract(s) in a large bowl until Splenda is dissolved. Add oats and combine until you have clumps. Pour oat mixture onto two non-stick cookie sheets and sprinkle clumps evenly. Bake 60 minutes, until golden.


It comes out sweet and crunchy. Then I would bag it up in individual serving sizes.

My snack of choice right now is Fage greek style yogurt. Is has about 130 calories per cup and no fat. It is a lot thicker than regular yogurt so it is super filling and has a good amount of protein. I flavor it with truvia or sugar free jam.

Crab sticks, they are 0% fat, healthy and five sticks takes away the craving for other snack foods. i used to eat humous and krispbreads, but it's so easy to pig out on them. i got so i could eat a tub of humous and ten crackers in one sitting...600 calories.

Fiber One Bars got me through many a long afternoon at work. My husband likes the Clif Protein Bars, and they're pretty good too.

I totally agree with homemade vegetable soup. It is perfect nutrient dense food(low calories /high in nutrients) Can't go wrong here

My favorite is ACT 94% fat free popcorn (its a big bag, not a mini bag!) and the whole bag is 130 cals. Top with 0 cals butter spray. Very filling and delicious!

My FAVE filling snack is:

Red Apple brand: Apple Smoked Gruyere Cheese, 1oz 90cal
Red Grapes, chilled and halved 1/2C 40-60cal, each grape has about 3.5cal
Special K Crackers, 17 90 cal


The cheese comes in a square, I half the square, half each half, and then half again. I end up with a narrow strip of cheese. I then slice this into many little rectangles. I'll take 1 piece of cheese and eat it with one cracker and just savor it. Then I'll pop a grape or 2 in. Delish! It is definitely more cals than many snacks, but it works for me as I often have a very low calorie lunch. Drink a glass of water with it and you'll be full for days

12 oz glass of V8 is 75 calories and easy to sip on..

This taste so good, and is balanced, carb, protein and good fat.


1 apple cut up
1/2 cup of cottage cheese.
10-15 almonds chopped
some raisons (optional)

2 cups of diced watermelon only has 92 calories. All that liquid is really filling, not to mention that watermelon is delicious!

karlafales

Special K whole grain crackers and 1 wedge of laughing cow herb cheese - yum... and it takes a while to eat so you feel there is more there than what the calories show....24 crackers and one wedge

karlafales

what are the calories in this ? Do you use the snack size bags?

_Sally_

carrots and salsa (for a low cal, filling snack)

Scheherazadea

Watermelon with lemon. You can also juice them together and add some ginger. So delicious!

dikent

small organic gala apple with 2 Tbsp. of natural peanut butter - best snack ever (and very filling - sometimes I eat it as a light meal)

snowbunnies

Other than the carrots, apples, peanut butter, and oatmeal which were already mentioned.... I like to take 3 slices of turkey breast (sandwich meat) and roll up one wedge of laughing cow cheese inside. It's only 95 calories, contains11 grams of protein and only 1gm of sugar, and it takes the edge off the hunger for me. :flowerforyou:

I love doing the same, and adding in some thin cucumber slices. It adds a great crunch!

Sounds good I'll have to try that one

I like to snack on
Baby Carrots dipped in Salsa
Scrambled Egg ( I use one whole egg with 1/4 cup egg creations)
Apple Slices with 1-2 Tbsp. Peanut Butter
Strawberries or bananas with yogurt and almonds (mixed together)
Raw baby spinach with low cal poppyseed dressing and grilled chicken

One more that's a new favorite:

1/3 cup Greek Yogurt + 1 or 2 tsp of ranch dressing seasoning mix (almost calorie free). I dip carrots, peppers, or cauliflower in it instead of Ranch dressing.
