my housemates think it's really weird,but I LOVE a banana cut in half longways and then half short-ways filled with peanut butter: like a pb sandwich but with banana instead of bread!

Love this idea! MAybe even Nutella instead! Yummy I may be trying this...despite the fact that bananas seem to be my weight loss enemy.....so idk which is worst the bananas or the bread for me :grumble:

In a blender mix very cold nonfat, 1% or 2% milk, add ice cubes, fruit of you choice, and blend up. Tastes like a milk shake without all the quilt.

By the way- I just used frozen whipped topping instead of freezing.

Sliced tomatoes, salt and pepper, fresh basil and cottage cheese with a balsalmic vinegar reduction ... or drizzle.
We call it Poor Man's Caprese.

Not the healthiest, but something that cures a sweets craving for me. Chocolate animal crackers with a dab of reduced fat peanut butter. Super yummy! Reminds me of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, but way less fat, calories and sugar. 16 animal crackers has like 110 calories so you can have a bunch of them and still be within a decent amount of calories.

I forgot to add... Tribe 40 Spice Hummus (SO Delicious, flavorful and spicy), with Kashi Salsa Pita Crisps (also flavorful). It is spicy, slightly sweet, savory and if I add a salad it can be lunch.

homemade Jalepeno jelly plain or mixed with light cream cheese on anything (even graham crackers) or dip pretzel rod,triscits,let your imagination go wild. It is sweet with a little zing at the end. I heard you can buy it other places but I grow a garden every year and use the fresh peppers. I read that hot peppers help burn calories , the "warmth" from the peppers help with any cravings and my sweet/salty taste is satisfied.:flowerforyou:

I usually snack at mid morning and mid afternoon to keep the 'fires burning' and go for the convenient Balderson 1 oz packets of old white cheddar and a handful of Marie's glutten free seed crackers.. or a piece of fruit with the beloved cheese.

Cook some pumpkin and mash it up with a little ground cumin and it's a delish topper for Philly on Cruskits or rice thins

"Bump" allows folks to "bookmark" a topic so it will be in their "My Topics", then they can return to it later. Someone else asked this question a few weeks ago and recieved a reply, otherwise I would still be wondering.:blushing:

yes this! and celery with almond butter (or fresh nut butter) and a few raisins. brings me back to childhood days of ants on a log. also, it's got fruit, veggie and a fat. I tend to lean towards this if I have a sugar craving after dinner!

Here's another twist to "ants on a log": celery, with a laughing cow swiss cheese wedge and craisins! It's delish!

This sounds amazing. The cheese how does that taste? I love sharp cheddar , regular cheddar and white cheddar is also good. I LOVE cheese
