What's your favorite mid morning or late afternoon snack? Just trying to get some new ideas so I'm not eating the same things all the time

    My go-to afternoon snack is popcorn. One of the 100 calorie bags does a great job of holding me over until dinner. But my all-time favorite (anytime) snack is 1 Tbs each peanut butter and sugar free jelly on a toasted english muffin.

    My yogurt with honey or carrot sticks and pita chips with tzatziki sauce. All homemade. Although I need to make sure I have some Altoids available if I'm having tzatziki.

    I have a morning snack and an afternoon snack. Usually I do baby carrots or cucumbers or any other stick-like veg with 1 tbsp light ranch; or a cup of plain non-fat greek yogurt with a sprinkle of flavored granola or berries (greek yogurt makes a great dip, too, with dill or with some ranch seasoning). My favorite post-workout snack is frozen blueberries. Very refreshing! Other good snack options are hummus and veggies or just good old fashioned pieces of fruit!

    If it's a work out day, I have 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese, 1/4 cup avocado, a little pepper and salt. Yum

    My absolute favorite lately has been chopped tomatoes and cottage cheese, salt and pepper. A little ground beef warmed and added (taco leftovers) is nice too if you need the protein/can spare the calories. Of course, I've had homegrown tomatoes lately, sooooooo much better than the store-bought!

    I love roasted red pepper hummus, not spicy from costco! :) I do vanilla yogart from trader joes, with granola and fresh fruit, BEST THING for a night dessert is chop up bananas sprinkle cinnamon (to taste) and drizzle honey on it! It's filling, satisfies your sweet tooth, and honey and cinnamon are so good for you! I also like to cook artichoke and eat that as a snack it doesn't fill me up, but it's fun to pick the leaves off keeps you busy etc. :)

    An apple with a Sargento reduced fat cheddar cheese stick. A cup of 1% milk microwaved with a Bigelow chai tea bag. Lance whole grain and peanut butter crackers. If I've just finished working out and its between meals, a banana/greek yogurt/cocoa shake.

    i have different snack options. but usually will have 1 to two a day while at work. besides my breakfast and lunch. for snacks it could be a fruit or some raw cauliflower (which i love) or it could be some goldfish the pretzel/flavor blast mix kind, yum. Even a serving of pretzels or a special k 90 calorie chocalate pretzel bar (those things are so good). even a serving of almonds or any other 100 calorie snack.
