What is your weirdest healthy snack?

Mine has to be peperoncinis and a glass of milk (to put out the fire in my mouth). Most people think its gross, but I find this combo pretty delicious. Tough on sodium counts, but stops any other cravings in their tracks - and some liquid protein to boot!

    Well, today I had a can of tuna for a snack. As food goes it's not weird, but I rarely see people just eating cans of tuna, so I guess it's a little abnormal.

    Cucumbers and salsa. To me it makes perfect sense, but people always make comments and look at me funny. But it's super good.

    Frozen fruit! I like to layer (in this order!) 1) frozen peaches 2) frozen cherries 3) frozen blueberries. I let it sit for about 15 minutes so the fruit will thaw a little, and the juices from the cherries runs down onto the peaches and makes it extra good! I am eating it right now in fact!

    quinoa cup cakes!

    little bites that taste like pizza (i add chopped peppers, homemade pizza sauce, crumbled feta and basil) and bake them in a cup cake tray. About 30kcals each, they are high protein and a couple staves off hunger for ages. Keep in the fridge for three days too

    Cooked egg whites? with peanut butter smeared on it like an omelet filler? I'm trying to imagine this :)

    THIS sounds perfect! I love salsa! And we all know the chips are really just a vehicle for the salsa anyway! Why not replace them with vegetables?

    Pumpkin, vanilla greek yogurt, cinnamon---> blender. It's like a pumpkin pie smoothie. Add protein powder for extra... protein. Maybe not so weird but definitely good.

    People at work are fascinated by my coconut chia pudding. Never fails to elicit the response "you mean like ch-ch-ch chia? like a chia pet?"

    1/4c almond milk, 1/4c coconut milk, 1T chia seeds, 1/2T shredded coconut, 1t honey. Shake/mix and refrigerate overnight.

    Also, I like to stick a cup of yougurt in the freezer until it's "crispy frozen". I always make sure I get the yogurt that is free of HFCS though!

    carrots with peanut butter

    Haha my mom used to give me that as a snack when I was a kid. And you know what- I still like it! Also carrots go great with a peanut butter sandwich- a much better combo than chips!

    Also, you can add other spices if you like, I know cloves and nutmeg are also in Pumpkin pie but I'm not sure in what proportions.

    Bowl of baby carrots and a shot glass of Apple Cider vinegar. I love the taste combination.

    My husband picks on me that I still love ants on a log...minus the ants....

    For those that don't know what that is...Celery stalks with peanutbutter (creamy PB for me).

    Other wise my snacks tend to be sugar free gum becuase i want something sweet so badly but I feel if i break now...it would be hard to get back on track.

    Sheets of Nori seaweed. Sometimes I'll put cucumber and/or peppers with it.
