Your healthy "go to" foods

Moonbeem11

Just curious what people eat for healthy treats. Right now, I am drinking Teeccino which is like flavored coffee but healthy, with some half and half. I also make lemonade with stevia (natural sweetener), bottle it up in glass bottles so I can grab one and it feels like something I paid over a dollar for at the store. Any tricks or healthy treats that make you happy?

Yogurt. I love love love yogurt. I have various levels of fat depending on what my caloric needs are.

Some of my go-to foods include

Chobani yogurt.
Apple slices and peanut butter.
Salad Mix with vinegar and McCormick salad toppings
Ezekiel bread
I LOVE olives.
Steel-cut oatmeal with raisins for breakfast.
Skinny cow ice cream sandwiches when my sweet tooth kicks in.

Strawberries. You can eat a big *kitten* box of them, and they add up to like 12 calories, and they are good.

My go-to food is salt. Meaning pickles, chips, whatever...but that is because I have to eat 5 grams a day.

As for actual healthy food...steak and pineapple. Not necessarily together, but those are my favorites. I also have cheese sticks and granola bars.

Berries or fruit salad for me. Cheese, if I'm low on protein. Oh so many others...
Here are over 100 snacks for under 100 calories: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/Robin_Bin/view/snacks-of-100-calories-or-less-267198 . Some are more nutritious than others.

(Edited to fix link. Period isn't part of it.)

Oh, and dark chocolate truffles. Wouldn't count on some people's "healthy" list, but in moderation, chocolate has lots of good health effects.

Thanks everyone! The "100" list is great too! Also, one of my fav's is sunflower seed butter from Trader Joes. So creamy and doesn't taste healthy!

I opt for either:
an apple
two cornthins with peanut butter (this is my fave - I am a peanut butter monster)
an instant coffee - I got for Moconna infused with vanilla and have a teeny bit of milk
or, 'Well, Naturally Peppermint Surprise' protein bars (I love these and they have little mint crisps in them, yummm!).

Lately my mid-afternoon snacks seem to be a Greek yogurt (Chobani, Liberte or Voskos usually) or a an apple (love Pink Lady) and a piece of string cheese. They seem to be a good combo of protein/carbs/fat and some sweetness for me.

I've been trying to drink tea w/a little almond milk at night (the Mighty Leaf teas are excellent) - it is a relaxing little ritual and seems to send my brain/body the "okay, you're probably full now" signal well

I haven't eaten them for a while but I also like the 100-calorie bags of regular popcorn or kettle corn. I think they are pretty tasty and popcorn seems to be one of the few foods that can be a satisfying portion in 100 cals.

Great answers and giving me some ideas.

I like pickled beets as well with a tablespoon of cottage cheese
Popcorn
Dark Chocolate
Wasabi almonds - half a serving
Fiber 1 chocolate cereal
Most types of greek yogurt
Apples or grapefruit

I really try to drink a big glass of water before and during a snack to help fill me up.

Here's my list

Nuts & natural nut butter
canned oysters
fruit & berries
dried fruit - careful with portion control - read pack for additives
suzies gluten free rice cake crackers
dark chocolate
veggies
hard boiled eggs
I freeze/refridgerate portions of homemade soups, meat loafs, steel cut oats for easy grabbing
I also cook whole chickens, turkeys, and roast on weekends then freeze and package portions so on lazy days I can take it out and make quick stir frys, wraps, and put it in salads through the week or on lazy days.

If all else fails and I am really hungry I just full out cook. There is lots of quick and easy healthy things to prepare. Like roasted veggies - if you foil the pan you have no dishes its easy to prepare and delicous. Or frozen individually packed fish.... 15 mins in warm water thaws them and less then 15 mins in the oven - easy. Everytime you make rice make lots and freeze it, then microwave and enjoy.

I love tinned wild salmon on triscuits for a snack. Sometimes with a little greek seasoning sprinkled on top.
Plain greek yogurt w/ frozen berries thawed and a tablespoon of flax meal
peanut butter w/ a banana, celery or apple (depends on the mood or what I have lol)
cottage cheese w/ bell peppers

So far my healthy "go to" foods have been tuna by itself, fruit, cereal, and sandwiches. Today is beginning my second week of 1200 cals a day and my second day of c25k. I'm so so sore and will probably take a break tomm.

I need some pals on my fitness pal!!
