    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!

    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!

    I dice up a peeled cucumber and pour 2 T of Ponzu sauce (basically a citrus soy sauce) on it. Drink your water because of the sodium but I love the flavor!

    -Soy crisps (about 5 cal each) with a smear of Smuckers natural peanut butter (or other nut butter) (about 55 cal for a TB).
    -Trader Joe's Seaweed Snacks. Yummy, sesame/salty flavor that reminds me of sushi. Only 30 cal for a 1/2 package.
    -Flavored coffee. (Not so unique but the flavored coffees offer a good way to satisfy cravings. I drink them black but a ts of sugar goes a long way.)

    I love taking a small Oikos vanilla Greek yogurt (4 oz - the kind that comes in 4 packs. I find 6 oz to be too much), 1/2 tablespoon of some kind of nut butter (right now, I love PB & Co's Oatmeal Raisin Swirl), 1 teaspoon of whole roasted flax seeds, and chopped strawberries, and mixing it all together! Mmmmm.

    Sometimes I slice a cucumber into small rounds, then add hummus, tomato, and turkey slices and another round on top. Mini cucumber sandwiches!

    55 cals for a TB?!!! What peanut butter are you using, because I need this! All the PB I've found is 95-100 calories per tablespoon.

    Unique you say? I love me some sardines mixed with cottage cheese (sometimes avocado too). Tastes delicious to me, and gives my body lots of protein.

    Sounds delish! I eat Kipper snacks.....will have to try the sardines.

    I LOVE salsa and almost any kind of salsa is low in calories and healthy (like 10-15 calories per 2 tablespoons). I snack on it during the day. Frankly, I don't usually eat it with tortilla chips but when I do, I measure out a small amount--say 7-10 chips and crack them up into smaller pieces. Then, I only bring that amount to work so I don't over eat. Really works for me.

    I also love baby carrots with my favorite dressing. Just don't overdo the dressing!

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