I'm looking for a healthy, low calorie, low sugar, snack that I can have mid-morning everyday. I usually get the most hungary after breakfast and before lunch. I'd love some ideas that will satisify me for a few hours and will not add a lot of calories to my daily intake. Suggestions welcome!!!

    I have a mixture of things:

    A piece of fruit
    A fat-free yogurt
    Fat-free natural yogurt over fruit (i.e strawberries)
    Zucchini tots (lots of recipes on google)
    Crabsticks
    Carrots with homemade humous

    I need some zucchini tots in my life!

    One of my favourites is a rice cake with Salmon Rillette (basically minced up salmon) or a Bjorg terrine forestierre (a mushroom pate which tastes quite meaty and is a lot like a smooth pate) both these products available in France but I have seen similar in many other countries. Comes in at around 90 cals so not bad for a very tasty snack and also works well as a small breakfast. I sometimes use a small amount of camembert cheese but the obvious problem there is not being tempted to cut off bits and pick at it when I shouldn't.

    When I need a quick fix after breakfast, I grab a Quaker chocolate crunch rice cake.
    It's only 60 cals. and has a few small chocolate chips on it for flavor so I also get a
    sweet tooth fix.

    I'll be watching this post because I too am always looking for good, quick snacks.

    Im totally going to buy some crabsticks (love them! I forgot about these little gems!) and the Chocolate Quaker rice cakes... sound good and Im loving the "60 calorie" bit!! Thanks so much! Keep the suggestions coming! I usually have been having a granola bar, but it is not fillin gme up, just making me want to eat more, and has a lot of sugar.

    Not sure if you prepare your 'snack' at home or at work...a good one (if you have a sweet tooth) that I used to have in the evenings is a half banana cut up with fat-free chocolate pudding (lunch sized 'snack pack' container) on top and a blob of fat free cool whip. Makeshift chocolate sundae:)

    Blue Diamnond Cocoa Roast or Dark Chocolate Mint Almonds. I eat only 1/2 a serving. Awesome and also shakes the craving for sweets.

    Popcorn popped at home (1/4 cup of kernels in a brown paper bag in the microwave for about 2 minutes), Greek yogurt with fruit, homemade Chex mix (chex, Cheerios, popcorn), apple and peanut butter.

    Hope this helps!

    This. Choose something with protein to keep you feeling full longer. Low fat string cheese.
