tired carrot sticks and celery

jljc_2010

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!

I love cucumbers dipped in salsa

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.

strips of red pepper are nice and boost your metabolism!

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.

Sliced apple dipped in 1 TBS of melted Peanut Butter - about 180 cals. (with Jif peanut butter)

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.

Try sliced apples with a wedge of Laughing Cow Cheese. Yum!

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.

jminette

cherry tomatoes or snap peas?

Crackers are FULL of fat and empty crackers, and soooo easy to over due!

I dip my carrots in Hummus.
You can do greek yogurt, apples w/peanut butter.
Special K meal bars
string cheese and crackers
cottage cheese with mandarine oranges or pineapple.

All these snack suggestions sound good!!

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!

sleepytexan

a couple figs, fresh strawberries with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar or balsamic reduction (better!), and a Laughing cow Lite Swiss Cheese wedge.

This and this...My favorite snack is almonds with some dried cranberries.

Try Soylent Green. It's a tasty protein supplement. You can usually find it at Walmart, or try Google to find a local retailer.

I think really crackers and granola bars are the way to go.
If I have 300 calories at the end of the night, I'll just have 3 or 4 100 calorie granola bars.

Greek Yogurt.. So yummy! Chobani is my fav!

Forgot to post the cals... 42g of Beef Jerky (Jack Links) = 120 cal
1/2 cup of 1 % Cottage Cheese = 100 cal
1 oz (28 peices) Almonds = 170 cal
1 hard boiled egg = 70 cal

Love Hummus....might give that a try next week...but I like the vegetable salad idea too...
Thanks!
