What Is Your Favorite Healthy, Easy Snack?

Since I do a lot of night time snacking and I realize this is hurting my shape up journey, I'm trying to at least switch my snacks out with healthy, low calorie stuff. I've been eating a lot of fruits, like plums and apricots and berries but I'm getting tired of just fruits lol. I just bought some carrots and cauliflower with some organic low fat dill dip and I think I can go along with that for a while.
But I'm really wanting some new ideas for easy, healthy, low cal snacks that I can munch on when the mood calls. I think if I can cut out the crap foods, it might also help with my night time eating as most of the stuff I start to crave around then is crap. If I can train myself to crave healthy stuff instead, I think I will have my snacking under control.
So what are your favorite healthy, easy snacks??

Popcorn! You can spritz it with a little olive oil or water and flavor it how you like.
I personally prefer the 100 cal smart pop bags. Not the best for "clean eating" I guess, but they're tasty, fast and easy.0 -

Great ideas so far!! I LoVe nuts, the only problem is I have difficulty stopping within a healthy/low cal range. So I'm hesitant to add them in to my snacks0

If you have a hard time stopping with eating nuts then you can get a small bowl and dish out the suggested serving and then take your snack and leave the kitchen. Also remember that nuts (and walnuts in particular) are high in fat but it is the good fat So pair it with something like crackers or yogurt to help fill you up faster0

I love steamed broccoli, edamame beans (has a very good amount of protein) or some carrots Unsweetened almond milk is good too, or you can even put in some stevia to sweeten or put a teaspoon of natural cocoa powder to make a healthy chocolate milk. Also try sipping on flavored tea so you can fill up on hydration without any extra calories. Try to consume most your calories during the day0

I tend to always go for raw carrots with various dips or houmous.
or baby plum tomatoes(grape tomatoes), berries, greek yoghurt, dark chocolate.0 -
On eating nuts in moderation, my husband read somewhere that drinking lots of water while eating almonds actually makes the almonds expand in your stomach and you feel really full. Now as I actually write that, doesn't seem like it really happens, but who knows. And I know when I drink lots of water in between each nut, I do feel full. Just my thought.:)0

I've done that with onions before. I love onions, I haven't done that in a while, but if I make a burger or almost anything, I'll use almost half an onion to myself. Onions and Garlic are delicious raw. Probably doesn't help my breath any, but my wife doesn't care as she's the same way.0
