Snacks for the evening

Aw that sounds heaven will try that !

Red bell peppers raw? Not sure if I could do that. Usually eat them stir fried but I'll try it.

They have a natural sweetness to them unlike the green ones. Very yummy!!

Yes they are. Also very good with hummus!

I usually have 2 stick of kitkat or a small bar of chocolate if I want to crunch on something. Apple is nice too, I like Gala and Granny Smith. Sometimes if calories allow, i will just have 2 slice of bacon. Almond or any type os good to but it is one of my trigger food. ^_^;

Hi ^^

Well I love snacking at night too. I do quite a lot of exercise, and even to make sure I have 400/500 calories to use to snack at night. Is that sad? Lol.

I tend to eat unhealthy snacks, so things like crisps and chocolate. But I also have rich tea finger biscuits now and again, only 23cal the ones I have. I also get low calorie crisps. Pom-bears are 77 calories a bag. Velvets are cassava, so they have the crisp feeling and help the crisp craving, and they are more healthy than your normal crisps, they aren't even potato. They are 81 calories, but as with pom-bears it does depend on the flavour, some are a little less others a little more. But all flavours are low calorie.
I like mini milk chocolate lollipops- 90 calories each.

Now all that was unhealthy, and you asked for healthy. I like to have apple dipped in peanut butter now and again. Peanut butter is calorific though so I try not to have it often. I also like clementines. I used to make my own mini quiches. So I'd beat two eggs together in a bowl, grease a muffin try with a one calorie spray called frylight. I'd then get my ingredients I want to put in them- cut up cherry tomatoes, ham, tiny bit of cheddar cheese, you can put anything you like in them. I love cheese so I always have to have some; even though it isn't too much in them. Then put the ingredients in the bowl where the beaten up eggs are. Mix it all together and put everything in the bowl into the muffin tray circles til there is nothing left. Put in the oven 20- 25 minutes at 160 degrees, and they'll be done ready to eat.

As you can see I love savoury food.

I prefer to snack on pork rinds or peanuts or snackwell's devil's food cake cookies or pepporicini

all of these are good. fruits, popcorn, veggie with hummus, i like celery with peanut butter too. cottage cheese. trail mix. earl grey tea.

I like to heat up an apple in the microwave with some cinnamon and a little bit of sugar (or Natrena if you prefer). Tastes like apple pie without the pie mmmm. Works best with a sweet apple.

If I were not allergic to apples I would be all over this!

I'm sorry,I keep remembering stuff lol.

I used to make my own healthy chips. I'd peel potatoes, wash them then cut them up into chips. I'd then spray the actifryer which we used to have til it broke, we have a halo now which is basically the same thing, and put them in there for 25 minutes or so. You can also bake them in the oven, not sure how long for or what temp. I'd say 180 for 20 minutes. I'm not sure.

I'd also get a wooden skewer and break it in half, cook some mushrooms and play the mushrooms inside ham, wrap the ham up and join it together with the skewer. You could also put some mushrooms and ham and other healthy ingredients inside a lettuce leaf, pinch it together with your fingers at the top and eat it. I guess it would be sort of like a dumpling.

I also eat low calories sweet and salt popcorn- I eat the brands metcalfe topcorn and propercorn. Both low calorie. Low fat jelly is also good. Greek yoghurt too (I don't like it plain though *vomit* You could even get dried fruit.

Also the people who suggest celery which is great to snack on, fun fact for you, did you know it takes more calories to eat it than you get from it?

If calories allow I like to have two pieces of toast with 1 serving of natural peanut butter.

It's warm. It's filling. It's protein. And it's YUM!

Haha....PB is fat. You're kidding yourself if you think it's a protein!

I'm not sure one can just simplify everything and dismiss others opinions. This forum can be used to help and motivate people or used to tear people down. I personally appreciate the positive responses and advice.

Completely agree. Who cares if it's protein or not? It's beside the subject. I like positivity also.

This works with almond butter too.

Depends on what I'm hungry for but I usually go for:
- Celery, cut and soaked in water (takes the bitterness out and makes it super crunch)
- Banana (sometimes with PB if I have the calories leftover)
- Raw fruit mixed with unflavored fat free greek yogurt, it's really sweet (once you get used to the taste- that takes about a week) and tastes awesome. And full of protein!
- Popcorn
- No-cal drinks: water or caffeine free tea

Probably will go back to beef jerky once I get off my butt and start dehydrating things again.

Depends whether I want salty or sweet: 1 pc of whole wheat toast with either: 1 tbsp of PB and half a sliced banana OR 1 tbsp goat cheese and apple slices.

My usual last snack of the night this winter has been a super easy mug cake:

2 TBS Hershey's Cocoa powder (I've had the best luck with this brand),
2 tsp Nectresse (you could of course use your own sweetener),
1 egg white,
dash of water

Stir it all together in a mug (it takes a while to get to the right consistency; just keep stirring) and then nuke it for 1 minute. I like to leave it in the microwave for a little while after it finishes, as I've had better luck with it holding its texture and not falling when I do that.

Really yummy, low calorie, and high protein (45 cals, 15 carbs, 1 fat, 7 protein, 8 iron).

I've got to try this tonight. Does it taste like a chocolate pudding? or chocolate cake?

I eat a variety of things (PB2, low calorie jams etc...) in fat free Greek Yogurt.
