Hi friends!
I am really tired of carrot sticks and celery, which I have with Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing and a cheese stick....
This snack totals me about 165 calories....
Any suggestions on how I can replace it for next week, please?
Thanks!

    do you like hummus? it is great with carrots and celery and you get some fiber, which you won't get with the dressing. Or Laughing cow cheese? Also good with veggies. Or if you are tired of those veggies entirely, cut up some tomatoes, cucumber, a little bit of onion. Pour a little white vinegar and salt and pepper and it makes a great little salad.

    sometimes i like "Mary's Gone Crackers" or Sensible Portions Salt and Pepper Straws as a snack with a lowfat yogurt dip or hummus. Costco had a mild jalapeno greek yogurt dip that was tasty. Also guacamole instead of ranch or you could make a low cal spinach dip that would be great hot or cold.

    Replace with a protein like 1/4c Cottage cheese, or a hard boiled egg. Even Beef Jerky (beware of the sodium) or 1/3c almonds - these snacks will actually satisfy you and carry much longer than noshing on vegetables masked with high calorie/fat dressings.

    Triscuits with salsa or those baked tostitos scoop chips with salsa. I recently started having salsa some times because it;'s super low in calories.

    so many choices...some strawberries and blueberries and fat free vanilla yogurt....i love pepper strips and hummus...orange yellow red, etc. also like zuccini and yellow squash raw strips with hummus, guac, or ranch (LIGHT)....I eat popchips when i am looking for a junk food fix...you get like 20 chips for only 120 calories. also popcorn does a great job of filling me up. i eat mini babybel cheeses and some pickles for a quick snack when i am in a hurry. fiber one bars and some fruit usually hold me over in the afternoons too. snap peas and hummus...omg yum or dipped in a light dressing.

    Switch up the ranch to hummus! I love spicy hummus and carrots or snap peas. Edamame, almonds, pistachios, cherry tomatos, grapes... Lots more than veggies and ranch!
