    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.

    All marvelous ideas....
    Thank you so much!

    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.

    I have missed cottage cheese! Great idea, thank you!

    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.

    All great ideas!
    Thank you!

    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!
    Great Thank you!!!!

    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'll take a look at it, thanks!

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

    Good thought, I have only tried Fage and Dannon, but have heard Chobani is great!

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

    yum! a similar snack:

    mix 1 or 2 Tbsp. of PB2 (only 45 cals for 2T) into plain yogurt, and dip apple wedges, or eat like peanut butter pudding -- mmmmmm
