Snacks other than nuts

I always snack on (controlled portions of!) nuts - pumpkin seeds, almonds, brazils - but think I need to try new snacks that don't add £££s to my food shop. Any ideas?

I make a lot of homemade oatmeal cookies.

You can vary the ingredients so they're not always the same.

I use a lot of extract/essences for extra flavor without the calorie cost.
e.g. Vanilla, Almond, Lemon, Orange and even Chocolate essence!
....not all in the same cookie of course!

But sometimes combined with fruits and nuts also.
Only limited by your own imagination!

My favorite under 100 calorie snacks:

Low fat mozzarella cheese sticks - 70 cals
Chicken of the Sea Tuna cup - 80 cals
Just about any piece of handheld fruit 50-100 cals

My weakness has always been frozen desserts. I keep mini ice cream cones handy; it's impossible to stuff more than 1/5 to 1/4 cup of frozen yogurt into them. No matter the flavor, I can't go above 75 calories. And they're so cute!

Granola
Oatmeal
Zone Bar (my favorite is double dark chocolate)
1/2 of a peanut butter sandwich (1tbs of all natural pb and one slice of whole wheat bread)

triscuits and laughing cow cheese (low fat).

small apples
1-2 cups of diced watermelon
baggie of berries
low fat string cheese
baggie of cherry/grape tomatoes
baggie of sliced up cucumbers
baggie of tomatoes and cukes
dried apricots (6 of the brand I have = 100 calories and are very filing)
half of a protein bar
1/3 cup of low fat cottage cheese

These have all worked wonders for me.
