Chopped Celery and Radishes. I usually chop them up and put them in a big bowl and then add in a bunch of cilantro AND a bunch of crushed red pepper! :D I'll eat a sandwich ziplock bag in between meals and it really hits the spot. I imagine the red pepper is doing something thermogenic to my system and making my insides work harder.

    Nice! It sounds great. I add the crushed red peppers to my whole boiled eggs and they just taste yummier :)

    Wow, that sounds delicious - so going to try that.
    I've just started roasting radishes too, not half bad!

    I love to julienne carrots/celery/apple and mix half a tablespoon of sugar and salt-free peanut butter with 3 tablespoons of light Cool-Whip and dip! So yummy. It feels like you are eating something decadent, but it's very low-cal.

    I'm totally going to make your snack later! I have fresh cilantro growing on my deck. :)

    I love sugar snap peas! They are just delish!!! Also to feel full I like my cottage cheese or hard boiled eggs! Recently I discovered a WONDERFUL snack/ desert.....Low fat Vanilla yogurt, banana and the cocoa roasted raw almonds...It's so good just don't do a full serving of nuts. I think for 1/2 cup of yogurt, 1/2 banana and 12 nuts it's like around 215 calories...and you will feel very satisfied and full! YUMMMMM!!!!

    Wow, that actually sounds amazing. I will have to try :)
  • Skinny Pop popcorn. I get it at Costco and it's 135 calories for 3.5 cups. I also like to mix 1/4 cup raisins in with it for a salty/sweet combo.
