Looking for healthy snacks, please help!!

I tend to snack mostly on fruit, usually apples or bananas or raisins. I also do carrot sticks and hummus and nuts. If I am at home I like air popped popcorn every once in a while It is good for you, you can eat a lot for not very many calories, and ther are a lot of tasty seasoning options. I also like to cut a banana in half and put PB2 (or regular peanut butter) in the middle, stick it back together, and eat it!

One of my favorite snacks is plain greek yogurt then I mix in my own toppings. I like to do apple and cinnamon, peanut butter, PB2, bananas, berries. The fruit adds good fiber while the greek yogurt is high protein and it keeps you full longer!

I look for low calorie crisps and crackers, i eat snack 'a' jacks, 20 calorie crackers, low calorie healthy yoghurt drinks and go bars.

I'm a fussy eater so i try and find things that are health/low calorie food that i enjoy


Good luck finding something new and tasty

My favorite right now is about a third of a cup of plain no fat Greek Yogurt, mix in one half scoop of vanilla protein powder, some pumpkin pie or apple pie spice, and top with a few crushed walnuts,,,yum!

Hummus and celery.

Greek yogurt ( I use 3/4 cup) with a scoop of triple chocolate whey protein mixed in. It tastes like chocolate cake batter! 200 cals, 15 carbs, 2 fat, 32 protein.

I really like the Laughing Cow cheese wedges paired with apples, grapes, etc.

Since I work the overnight shift as a Crime Scene Investigator, I rely on snacks a lot. I never know when I'm going to get a call and if i do, how long it is going to take! You have a lot of different options ( : I split them up into the main sections of your diet--protein, carbs, and healthy fats. Your body functions very well at a 40/40/20 ratio, meaining 40% carbs, 40% protein, and 20% fat. This allows the body to burn fat while gaining lean muscle and maintaining a fuller feeling and high energy level! ( :

Protein
Beef/Turkey Jerky
Protein bars (Pure Protein brand--I LOVE the Chocolate Peanut Butter ones)
Shakeology (with Shaker-cup)
Tuna (in easy-tear pouch)
Greek Yogurt (stays fine almost all day with fridge)
Whey protein drinks (with Shaker-cup)



Carbs
Pita Chips
Instant Oatmeal (if you can make water hot, you can poor it into the pouch)
“Cliff” bars (they are organic but be careful about carbs)
Whole wheat crackers (Full Circle or Annie's ares great organic brands)
Oranges
Bananas
Apples
Cherries
Blueberries
Raisins (careful about eating too much – they are high in fructose)
Rice Cakes
Granola* (careful about eating too much – it can be high in calories)
*NOT Granola bars, just granola cereal, low in sugar

Healthy Fats
Almonds
Peanuts
Cashews

I hope this gives you some ideas -- snack away! ( :

My current savoury faves are:
A hardboiled egg, mashed with chopped tomato and a little mayo - about 130cals
Mini oatcakes topped with cream cheese and smoked salmon - 4 for around 180cals
Slices of mature cheddar with grapes or an apple

I think the combo of protein and a bit of fat keeps me fullest for longest.

I like your oat cakes with cream cheese and salmon. I think I might have to try this. Thanks:)

Thanks! I got a lot of good alternatives for healthy and filling snacks.

Rice cakes with slices of tomato & lots of black pepper - crunch, zip, and freshness!

Celery with whipped peanut butter as a dip (lots of celery, 15g pf peanut butter)

Almonds are great - about 15g - about 15 almonds

make your own dried "apple crisps". slice several apples into thin slices, put on a piece of parchment on a baking sheet and dust with cinnamon and splenda (optional). Bake in the oven, OVERNIGHT ( or 8 hours) at 70 degrees Centigrade (150 F). When done, turn off oven and open the door - let them cool this way and they get crispy. Delicious!
