    SF jello. carrots. hardboiled eggs. popcorn. greek yogurt. The list can go on. SF jello is tough to beat. mix it with a little spenda to make a nice liquidy/chunky mixture thats fun to slurp with a straw haha.

    Don't know what your go-to snacks are, but I have lots of low-cal go-to snacks. Popcorn, Special K chips (1/2 serving is enough for me), sliced strawberries, or cottage cheese. Each at or under 100 calories. If you have a little more room in your calorie goal try some hummus with pita bread, bagel chips with whipped cream cheese, or pb&j on a toasted english muffin.

    Peanut butter banana smoothie: 1 1/4 T peanut butter, 1/2 c reduced fat milk, 1 banana.

    homemade salsa, broccomole(yummy- don't like the raw jalapeno so much though), guacamole - all with your choice of chip(measured by weight) or eat with a fork.
    Nuts(premeasure by weight-get some little bowls with lids for a quick on the go snack thing)(or use baggies, I prefer reusable)
    cottage cheese or yogurt with apple, grapes, banana, orange(if you're a citrus lover)
    Any of those fruits by themselves or apples n bananas with pb
    Any fruit
    Any vegetable that you like raw by itself or with measured ranch
    lean chicken(4oz is my snack size) with 1/2 cup of green(I usually do broccoli or spinach)
    Same for tilapia
    or tuna

    Anything that you would have previously snacked on, but in a moderate, controlled portion.

    Frozen grapes are great for something refreshing that you have to eat slow. And if I am craving ice cream, I blend up a frozen banana with a tablespoon or two of vanilla greek yogurt and it's like a soft serve!
