I was hoping I could get some more ideas for some snacks I can pack with me to work. I am trying to stay away from granola bars and I'm getting a little bored of apples. I usually have a boiled egg and whole grain toast for breakfast and a salad with a protein for lunch... just to give an idea of what I'm already eating.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I like a couple of Ryvita PUMPKIN SEEDS & OATS CRISPBREAD(approx 44 cal each) with a few"The laughing cow" wedges (approx 25 cal each)...0

my #1 go to snacks are almonds and dried fruit because I can keep them in my office and they won't spoil so they are always on hand. I also like yogurt and on days when I know I have a strenuous workout coming after work I'll snack on a Luna bar (they're usually around 200 ish calories).
Laughing cow cheese is an excellent snack too.0 -
Fibre One bars are way healthier and honestly- far better tasting than granola bars!
I like to mix up cheerios, dried cranberries and peanuts in a bowl or bag as well.. The dried cherry infused cranberries are awesome!!0 -
LOW SODIUM RICE CAKES
PEANUT BUTTER
OATMEAL
BANANA
TRAIL MIX
POPCORN
FRUIT
VEGGIES
I KEEP THOSE IN MY LOCKER
IN THE FRIDGE I LOVE TO HAVE COTTAGE CHEESE AND TOMATO SLICES
80 CALORIE YOGURT CUPS
100 CAL GREEK YOGURT IS AWESOME0 -
Cottage cheese
Yogurt
Popcorn
I also like to take baby carrots in a microwave container, add water- cook for like a minute and 15 or 30 seconds, drain the water, and sprinkle with cinnamon... soo yummy!0 -
Mini bags of popcorn, Fiber one Brownies, carrot sticks and ranch dip, Nature valley granola thins, grapes. These are some of my faves.0
-
Mini bags of popcorn (with salt and pepper of course!), cocoa roasted almonds if you want something sweet, a small cup of trail mix with more nuts than chocolate, rice cakes, fruit, carrot sticks, celery sticks...0

cheese sticks!0

My new favorite snack is Air Popped Popcorn.....3 cups popped is only 60 calories and I add Ranch popcorn seasoning for only 2 calories a 1/4tsp......It's a great snack for when I want something salty, but low in cal0

The five (non-fresh fruit) snacks I eat the most:
strawberry greek yogurt -- 120 cals
peanut butter on low cal wheat -- 160 cals
1/4 cup cottage cheese and two pineapple rings -- 120 cals
reduced cal wheat english muffin w/ sugar free blackberry jam -- 90 cals
1oz of mixed nuts -- 160 cals0 -
A trick I learned from MFP is to remove the yolk from hard boiled eggs and replace with hummus. It is very good with a side of some veggies. My snacks usually mean "break-time" so today, I had a Pure Protein bar with coffee/cream for 220 cals and this afternoon, I am having a Luna bar with hot tea for 190 calories.
My other snack is usually greek yogurt with fruit or with pistachios...sometimes with honey.0 -

Great suggestions everyone, thank you! Popcorn sounds like a great snack, I love salty snack and this can be healthier0

You can have two fun-size Snickers bars for 160 calories.0

I just made these oatmeal bars, and I really liked them. No added sugar. I substituted the skim milk with almond/coconut milk, and used dates and bananas instead of just dried fruit. http://www.katheats.com/favorite-foods/baked-oatmeal-snack-bars0

I've been on a dry roasted peanut kick lately. Right now I have five alarm chili flavored ones. 160 cal/per serving (39 nuts).0
-
V8 and 5 crackers = 85 calories
Fold Over slice of low cal bread and 2 teaspoons of peanut butter = 103 calories
4 Rolos from co-workers desk = 100 cal (stupid rolos!) <---- I don't recommend...who can stop at just 4!
5 crackers and melted slice of 2% velvetta cheese = 50+35 = 85 calories0 -
Roasted, salted Soy nuts (113 calories to a quarter cup)0

Cheese is a good snack. Or you could do chicken or tuna salad (make it yourself with light mayo and fresh celery/onions/bell peppers then you know exactly how to portion and what the nutrition info is) - mix with lettuce or put on crackers. I like those laughing cow cheese wedges. 35 cals each and enough to spread on half a bagel. the french onion is so good. Half a bagel with one wedge of laughing cow is under 200. You could also put it on crackers or wasa or whatever.... and I know apples can get old but theres lots of other fruits... carrot sticks with dip, or make a low cal spinach dip. Light mayo, diced onions and tomatoes, plenty of spinach and a pack of dried soup or spinach dip mix. Sometimes I just spread that on a piece of rye bread its delicious. Do popcorn or a small serving of chex and toss it in different seasonings - parmesan, italian seasoning, garlic powder/salt, cinnamon sugar, chili powder.... i'm always trying to think of diff snack ideas = ) be creative0

I use a lot of these as I'm limited as to what I can have at my desk. Try this link - hope it works!

That is brilliant! Must try it0 -
I was going to suggest homemade granola bars, as they are my current go-to snack for work and carry me all the way from mid-afternoon, through my post-work workout, to dinner.
I've got nothing else lol. So, I'm snooping to see what others have to say.0 -
I just had fresh pomegrante seeds the other day. They are awesome! The pomegrantes are only seasonal. They are in season right now. I dont know the calories but they are a healthy snack0
