I have alot of different snacks I like to eat but I'm trying to "broaden the horizons" for myself and for you:bigsmile: SO, what are 3 of your favorite "healthy treats?"

Mine as of right now are:
*String cheese
*Low Fat Cottage Cheese with fresh fruit mixed in
*Reduced fat Wheat Thins with Laughing Cow spreadable cheese wedge (Lite French Onion is my fav)

Please share yours too :flowerforyou:

    Hi, I love almond butter - on whole wheat crackers/tortillas, apple slices, pretzels, etc. My current favorite brand is Naturally More, which also contains flax seed and wheat germ.

    one of my favorits is the smart food white cheddar popcorn, it is healthier than any other brand and it tastes amazing!! I also love to freeze my yogurt tubes and eat them frozen. I also love fresh or frozen fruit smoothies.

    Oooohh, I love the Laughing Cow cheeses! I also love a bowl of red raspberries with just a *teeny* drizzle of chocolate syrup. Oh, and if you can find them in your grocer's freezer section (not all groceries carry them), Deep Chocolate Vitamuffins are the BOMB! They have just 100 calories, 9 grams of fiber, and 2 grams of fat, and they are yummy!! http://www.vitalicious.com/4boch1.html
    I also love eating pretzels and grapes together when I'm craving a sweet-n-salty combo.

    I like all of the above. Some more that I enjoy are:

    Popchips
    Jello Mousse Temptations in Chocolate Indulgence
    Trader Joes dark chocolate caramel wedges
    Hummus with veggies or low cal crackers. Sometimes I toast a 100 calorie bagel thin and use that
    Anything Skinny Cow - especially the caramel cone cup of their ice cream

    Someone posted this a month or so ago (on MFP) I saved it - some good ones here too!

    Vita muffins rock and they come in a dozen flavors, ranging from chocolate, bran, banana, and oats. I also enjoy mini flavored rice cakes- sweet or salty. Pickles are yummy too!!! :)

    I love my "moc-a-mole" with baked corn chips.

    Use 1/2 of an avacado, smash it up with 1 cup of peas (thawed), zest and juice of a lime, and chopped cilantro. Its that simple. Its also good smeared on chicken or a veggie burger or to make a grilled cheese sandwich with. I usually add some diced red onion or shallots and you could add some diced tomato as well.

    Yogurt with homemade granola and fresh berries (my favorite!)
    Skim milk, peaches, blueberries 1/2 a banana, and ice....blended like a smoothie or shake
    100 calorie packs - shortbread cookies (not "healthy" but better than 6 homemade chocolate chip cookies which is what I'd probably have if I made them)

    MMM...good:happy:
