I am a snacker to the fullest definition. Honestly, I would never eat a meal if I didn't have a family to feed!
On that note, I am looking for examples of snacks that cure a sweet tooth, are low on carbs & are filling.
My favorite snacks are fruit, orange creamsicle ice cream, peanut butter crackers and hot cocoa just to give you an idea of why I need help.
I have my food log set to public as well if anyone wants to check it out.
Thanks everyone in advance.

    High proof dark chocolate. Not technically "low carb" but you don't need much of it to satisfy a craving!

    Carrots are a great sweet low-cal food that you can eat a lot of. Popcorn is also very high in fiber (though definitely not low-carb) and the portion sizes are generous for the calorie count.

    Have you tried making those Nutella frozen fudgesicles? You can find recipes for them online. They look pretty good! Also frozen banana and (reduced fat) peanut butter pops are good too!

    Not really low carb, but one of my favorite snacks is a Quaker caramel rice cake with a tbs. of peanut butter and half a banana sliced on top. Sooo yummy & filling!

    Don't know if you have a Wegmans in your area, but they have these air puff crisps called Cocoa Pops that are only 16 calories. They go great with hummus, peanut butter, or reduced fat cream cheese--and they are just great on their own if you just want some crunch.

    I always have a chocolate bar or Hershey kisses for the sweet cravings, but that only works if you can handle just having half a candy bar or like 4 Hershey kisses.

    Someone also mentioned Fiber One brownies and I think that they are great too. There are also a ton of 100-calories snacks out there!

    You've been eating grapes. Throw some into the freezer for snacks. I noticed the Twizzlers in your diary. Try cutting them into half or thirds to cut them down to snack size. You also seem to want something crunchy every day as a snack. If it's a texture thing, look into mini rice cakes. Rather than eating a full size ice cream bar, look into the low cal frozen fruit bars, or freeze smoothies or no-cal drinks in molds or cups. There's a brand called Helados Mexico that makes mini-sizes at under 50 calories.

    I definitely have a texture thing going on! I want something crunchy at least twice a day.. and something cold and smushy once a day too, I'm a strange girl I know : )

    My favorite sweet/crunchy fix is either coco or cinnamon roasted almonds. I usually only need 1/2 a serving to do the trick.

    I like to snack too. Here is my list:
    Special K Chocolately Pretzel Bars
    Fiber One Chocolate Peanut Butter Bar
    Plain Cheerios
    Frozen Dark Cherries
    Reduced Fat Peanut Butter
    Weight Watchers Ice Cream Sandwiches (vanilla bean or chocolate)
    Pepperidge Farm Ginger Man Cookies
    Roasted Corn

    So, the warning is that these items don't fill me up. I have to eat salads, fruit, chicken, broccoli, etc, for that, but I do allow myself these snacks in moderation.

    Good luck.

    Jiffy Pop makes 100 calorie bags of popcorn that are a pretty large serving. They come in kettle corn too for a sweet tooth. Not low carb, though.

    The only low carb snack that I eat would just be sliced deli turkey.
