I like Mini Pitas with hummus, I also chop up marinated artichoke hearts or olives to top the hummus with!

i will have like, half of a 7 sprouted grain english muffin with some pb and banana on it, or i just veg out on plain celery sticks, babybel cheese wheels are great, nugo bars, or even a protein shake.

Special K granola snack bars are awesome. They taste like you're not dieting but low calorie.

Nuts, greek yogurt, Special K cracker chips (if you're a chip lover like I am), pudding cups and grapes (freeze them for a yummy treat).

bjohs

Low fat cheese sticks are good too.

I like Triscuit crackers with a little cottage cheese or dipped in greek yogurt! Delicious, and still get the protien, just not as much fat as the pb.

I have switched from peanut butter to PB2 and love it.

I like to have fiber/protein bars, nuts, cheese sticks, a hard boiled egg, lite yogurt, or fruit for snacks

misscristie

Stick to high protein snacks -- Greek yogurt, 2% string cheese, almonds, that kind of thing.

- Hommous with strips of celery, carrot or snow peas
- Cherry tomatoes
- Wholemeal bread or crackers with a mix of avocado and tuna, with chilli if you like it
- string cheese
- trail bars (if you can find one with a small ingredient list and not too much sugar!)
- fruit - I like mandarins and plums at the moment as they are in season here
- almonds
- small tin of tuna (flavoured if you like them) mixed in with baby spinach
- trail mix - I buy small boxes of mixed fruit and nuts called "iron blend". The little boxes are good as they are portion controlled!
- 1 slice of wholemeal bread with 1/2 tsp peanut butter and 1/2 a banana
- mini cream cheese tub with chilli sauce and celery to dip in it

fruit, yogurt, carrots & low cal ranch dressing/dip, popcorn, almonds, walnuts, pistachios, peanuts, trail mix, cheese sticks with/without crackers....

TiniTurtle

raw veggies, vitatops, fiberone has a line of bars & brownies & things for only 90 cals, frozen grapes (buy fresh & stick in the freezer, tastes like sorbet), any fruit, oatmeal, & popcorn )

One easy healthy snack I recently found was a type of canned peaches. It is no sugar added and made with splenda, and has low sodium (I think 5%). I have the problem of buying fresh food and having it go bad in the fridge, but with canned, I know it will be good. (it also helps that they taste amazing)

I like to make a tuna salad to dip crackers into. it is simple just canned tuna, smart balance mayo......lots of protein, low fat, low cal and filling = all good

good luck - day care is hard work!!
