Getting bored with my food!

Hi guys! I am going grocery shopping tomorrow and I need some different snack ideas. I am getting a little burnt out on my organic crackers and laughing cow cheese. I would appreciate suggestions.

Do you have something you've tried, and love love love?????


Also, if anyone has a favorite recipe they would like to share, I'd appreciate it. I am getting bored with the things I have been eating.
Thanks!!

I have been loving non-fat cottage cheese with some salsa mixed in. 1/2 a cup is around 85 calories all together. I also love grapefruit with some stevia on top. SO GOOD

Hi!!

I have one that I love love love!! Those tiny salad shrimp mixed with a little bit of fat free cream cheese & a splash of worsteshire sauce...Thats my go to. I have it with petite toast or melba toast.

Another one I do alot is some cabbage mixed with crab meat, cherry tomatos halved & bit of fat free mayo, s&p to taste. I made this in a bowl & keep in the fridge.

If you like seafood those are good ones.

Go-to light calorie snacks:

Frigo Light Mozzarella Cheese Sticks with Almond Nut-Thins - lightly salted
Boiled Egg
Fiber One Oats & Chocolate Bars
Fiber One Peanut Butter Brownies
Healthy Pop 100 calorie bags of popcorn - butter and kettle corn flavor
sugar free grape, cherry, and orange popsicles... don't know the brand
1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1% fat and 1/4 cub of dole pineapple tidbits in pineapple juice
Wheat Thins- Reduced fat with Weight Watchers Jalapeno Cheese (Only 30 calories a wedge, just found it!)
Lightly salted roasted almonds - 1 serving for some healthy fats

ummmmmmmmm I'm sure there's something I'm missing... Has anyone ever just used the string cheese as a topping melted on pasta? That's pretty good and only 60 added calories...

I like non-fat string cheese (60 cal) and an apple. I take a bite of cheese then a bite of apple, and it's quite a tasty combination. I'll also add some sort of veggie sticks like a chopped up red pepper or something.
