Can anyone share your favorite snacks? I'm in a rut, and I need to try new things! I like carb-y snacks - like pretzels and popcorn - but I want to try new things! THANKS for the ideas & inspiration!

    I've recently become addicted to sweet roasted red pepper hummus. I spread it on Wasa crackers.

    A slice of proscuitto wrapped around a wedge of Laughing Cow cheese, a sliced apple and 2T of PB to dip it in, hummus and pita chips, a banana with PB or Nutella spread on it (or baked with mini marshmallows and chocolate chips), sliced mushrooms dipped in a little bit of ranch dressing, Emerald sweet & salty mixed nuts, protein shake, fruit and dip (strawberry cream cheese mixed with cool whip and little bit of marshmallow fluff - pretty low cal and so yummy!).

    I've started having two boiled eggs a day as snacks ... I bring them already hard boiled in to work with me. I find them really filling, and they're a good sauce of protein! Also carrot sticks with houmous is a good one!

    - I'm obsessed with bell peppers and carrots! My favorite snack involves dipping strips of yellow bell pepper into guacamole (wholly guacamole packets = only 100 calories) and/or french onion laughing cow wedges (35 cal each).
    - Also, only a couple of tortilla chips with lots of salsa! (hint of lime chips + pineapple salsa is awesome) salsa is so tasty but only around 15 calories per serving.
    - Ants on a log! celery, either whipped cream cheese or peanut butter, and raisins on top
    - String cheese!
    - 25 calorie Edy's Outshine popsicles. mmm :)

    This is my fav. snack : Cheerios,shredded wheat,unsalted pretzels,reduced fat cheetos,pecans,walnuts and dry roasted peanuts mix.:smile::wink: :smile: It's a great snack , one handful keeps me going for quite a while. You have to be careful not to get carried away with this one. My backup snack is just shredded wheat and cheerios mix.:tongue:

    Thanks for all the ideas! I went with an apple dipped in peanut butter today - man, that was delicious. Probably more calories than I should have had for a snack, but they were healthy calories :)

    If you like "carby" or savory type snacks I have been having plantain chips (less cal then banana chips) and they come in spicy and cajun flavors. They fill the craving for potato chips.

    Also any nuts (i love almonds, cashews and they keep you feeling full)

    Fruits with a lower G I like raspberries, cherries, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries

    I just found dark chocolate almond butter the other day. You shouldn't have a ton of it but....it tastes amazing and you can have it with fruit, on a rice cake with berries on top....yummy!!

    I love greek yogurt or cottage cheese.....veggies in hummus is great as people have said.
