I like Philly Swirl Sweet Delights they are an icecream type bar that is only 14 calories.

I like to have lots of healthy snacks around that I will eat but also that my kids will eat.

Cottage cheese

Pretzels
( cottage cheese & pretzels together are a really nice way to get the crunch satisfied as well as get protein and calcium - plus it is a lot healthier than say...dip).

String Cheese

Yogurt covered almonds

Make your own Natural Trail Mix to have at the ready ( for snacky times or for a grab and go snack) - choose a few different low sodium nuts, dried fruit ( we like the dried mixed berries ), granola, raisins, and even some yogurt covered raisins or almonds. Throw in some pretzels too!
It is so packed with protein and flavor - it makes a terrific snack for between meals. My son looked forward to his baggie of TrailMix at snack time more than anything else at Camp...lol.

Fresh fruit smoothies made with yogurt are a fav here. My kids won't eat yogurt ( they don't like the taste or texture ) but if I put it in a fruit smoothie - they love it. This gives your smoothie protein and calcium as well as other healthy benefits. I just buy the big container of the plain yogurt at the store... ( no flavorings as they just jack up the cals and have no benefit ).

I ALWAYS keep Natural Peanut Butter ( we prefer Skippy Natural Creamy over the others ) and Gala or Fuji apples on hand. This is my GO - TO snack!! LOVE IT! It satisfies ANY craving I might have and won't ever ruin my daily goal.

I also keep Trident sugarless gum ( all the varieties ) on hand. One - because my daughter has braces and it is the only kind she likes to chew.
TWO - b/c it helps when I have a sweet craving between meals.

Oatmeal
( I know that sounds weird but I can do SO much with oatmeal that I keep it on hand all the time. It is great at bfast or a snack or even to satisfy a late night craving. Your imagination is the limit ) You can sweeten it with brown sugar, splenda, honey, or fresh fruit. Nuts are good in it as well as raisins or berries or bananas.

Fresh Fruit in a bowl on the table or counter

Milk ( milk is a great way to give yourself a protein boost and meet all kinds of healthy nutritional needs and it can hold you over until the next snack or meal)

I hope these help - I know there are more but I can't think of anymore at the moment...
Best of luck on your journey!!
You are doing great!

The new Fiber One brownies are good. String Cheese, Fiber One Yogurts, Skinny Cow mint n chip ice cream sandwiches as well as the Smart One Chocolate cake single desserts.
