Good morning/evening... depending :)

My snack drawer at work is getting very low. What are some snacks you like to put into your snack drawer if you have one?

Rude comments can stay out... I am pre-diabetic and need to eat every few hours. So I need a stash. :)

    Why not replenish it with stuff you enjoy eating?

    Because that would be Oreos and Reese's PB cups :)

    Trail mix--peanuts, almonds, cashews, raisins, m&m's....provided you can have raisins and m&m's (sugar content?). Make sure to bring a 1/4 cup measuring cup so you only have one serving at a time.

    I also always have granola bars in yummy flavors (I choose ones that are 140 calories or less and made with all-natural ingredients).


    I don't keep anything in my snack drawer that is in a big bag or box like chips, pretzels, crackers...I don't need to be left to by guestimating devices!

    Beef/Turkey Jerky, Almonds, Low Glycemic/Low Sugar Granola Bars, Low Sugar Protein Bars.

    That's pretty much what I have in mine on a regular basis (mine have sugar though, as I'm not diabetic). I eat every 2-3 hours just because I like to! :laugh:

    I prefer nuts, pretzel rods or even some cookies. You can eat anything you want just make them fit into your calorie intake.

    I love the Emerald Brown Sugar Cinnamon almonds. They make them without oil so it's barely more calories than plain almonds and extra tasty.

    I also keep Wasa crackers (the light rye ones) in a gallon ziploc in my desk and then keep laughing cow light cheese wedges in the fridge.

    Other than that, I usually bring in cut up fruit, yogurt, string cheese, etc.

    I have smoked almonds, dark chocolate kisses (for the occasional sweet tooth) and granola bars. My office director regularly brings in fruit to share as well.

    Mini-oranges, individual servings of nuts and trail mix, and cheese sticks (although you have to keep them in the fridge) are my go-to

    Oatcakes, almonds, rice pudding or custard in a tub (unsure of your diabetic requirements, I realise they might be high in sugars), rice cakes, dried fruit, olives, cheese triangles (they don't all have to be refrigerated, read the labels), sun dried tomatoes.

    I'm hungry now, need food :grumble:

    I keep peanut butter, beef jerky, fig newtons, trail mix, and occasionally York peppermint patties, to soothe the stomach and cleanse the palate.......

    I don't want people thinking that I am an airhead... I just like new ideas. I get bored with the same old sometimes and like to hear what other people like to eat too :)

    rice cakes and almond butter.
    trail mix, but go easy on the dried fruits in it bc they really bring up the sugar
    nuts
    veggie sticks (SNyders of Hanovers makes good ones)
    Calbees snapea crisps. they are freaking good!!

    Raisins or yogurt-covered raisins, granola bars (Kashi Dark Chocolate Coconut -- mmm....), almonds & mixed nuts (Emerald Sweet & Salty Dark Chocolate & Peanut Butter flavor mixed nuts -- mmm....), Skinny Cow Clusters & chocolate wafer bars Stacy's Pita Chips (variety of flavors), roasted soy nuts from Publix, Archer Farms (Target) freeze-dried Salted Edamame.

    The "real" roasted soy nuts & the freeze-dried Salted Edamame (sounds totally weird, I know) totally satisfy my salt cravings, and they're soybeans, so really high protein, which is good, too!
