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!

    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.

    tzatziki sauce is a traditional Mediterranean sauce made with yogurt and cucumbers. very yummy, and not /too/ bad health-wise, just not something I personally want to add to my routine. at 25ish Calories per tablespoon, I'd end up eating a couple hundred calories in addition to whatever I was using to scoop it up (pita bread, etc)
