Night time Snack Ideas?

jenvic

Hello everyone!!

I need some advice. I workout late at night. Between 8pm to 10pm. This is after I had dinner and the kiddo is in bed. I do 1.5 hours of cardio and 20 mins of Ab workouts, six days a week. I'm finding myself starving!!! Sometimes I have a couple crackers and cheese. Carrots. etc. Which is not cutting it at all, at least, not for my tummy.

Any recommendations on what I should do? I tend to keep myself at 1200 to 1500 calories per day. I'm at a healthy weight range and i'm now just working on toning up. Any sin free snacks anyone recommends?

I would love some ideas! Thanks!

either a smoothie or a bowl of healthy cereal minus the milk, makes it seem more like a snack

I like to eat the chocolate rice cakes, low in calories and they seem to fill me up pretty good.

Low sugar protein powder with 1 cup low fat almond milk. I use a chocolate one and it's 162 calories total, if I use vanilla it's 155. The protein after the workout is good for you too.
Or, as my kin student daughter tells me... apparently low-fat chocolate milk (regular or soy) is a good post workout drink/snack too.

i always pop some popcorn. I bought a glass jar type thing so I can now just buy kernels and make it on my own with no butter. Healthy and filling

Hi,

Some of my favorites are: apple& a bit of cheese or peanut butter, roasted delicata squash wedges with cayenne, frozen blueberries with a dash of cool whip lite on it. I also make a peanut butter /chic pea dip like hummus that cuts down the fat and calories but is super filling with an apple or celery. I also make veggie soup and have a cup if I am starved. Also, a cup of tea helps at night for me. Good for you for working out after the kids are in bed. looking forward to hearing other ideas.

yogurt or granola bar or healthy popcorn.

Fat free yogurt, peanut butter or protein shake. Great workouts though!

My nightly treat is a cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk (40 calories) and a piece of whole wheat toast (100 calories) with Parkay Spray butter. You could slap a little bit of peanut butter on the toast for some more protein.

I love Skinny Pop popcorn. Its 39 calories per cup. I sometimes sprinkle it with a little water or balsamic and nutritional yeast (makes it cheesy and is quite popular with vegans and high in protein).
Or I just add some pepper or cinnamon.
You can also just air pop popcorn with no oil and spritz a tiny bit of water on it before salting so it sticks.

Julie's organic sorbet bars are really creamy and large and only 60 calories and all natural - no fake sweeteners.

Sometimes I have a cup of tea or hot cocoa or a 1/4 of an organic dark chocolate bar (good with the skinny pop popcorn).

Another idea that I have seen but never done is take strawberries and dip them in a healthy vanilla yogurt and then freeze them - YUM!
