I would like some suggestions of snack ideas that take little to no prep time. I am getting bored of the same snacks everyday like fruit, yogurt, veggies, rice cakes...

    fruit and cottage cheese
    hard boiled eggs
    cup of soup, or premade soup pre-portioned
    ryvita and cream cheese
    crackers and hummus
    small portion of nuts or seeds, or home made trail mix
    half sandwich


    That is all I can think of right now!

    Here are some of mine and I just rotate through when I get tired of something. I also try to figure out what kind of a snack i'd like texture wise too. sometimes it matters and sometimes it doesn't.

    - hard boiled eggs
    - dried apricots (no sugar added) - I like these because they are not sugared and they are nice and chewy when you need it
    - almonds, either raw or dry roasted no salt
    - banana studded with almonds (YUMMMMY)
    - all different flavors of yogurt and I'll sometimes throw in a little cereal or fresh fruit like grapes, blueberries etc
    - apples with peanutbutter or cheese
    - half a sandwich, pbj, cheese, chicken or tuna
    - cucumbers or pickles
    - string cheese
    - cottage cheese w/black pepper (i'm one of those people who can't do fruit in my cottage cheese)

    If I think of more I'll ping you :)

    The afternoon snack i've packed today is about a cup and a half of fresh spinach, a few slices of turkey meat, a little balsamic vinegar, and a slice of the garilc herb laughing cow cheese. I figured the laughing cow could suppliment any dressing I would have wanted to add. All for around 115 calories!
