Help me with healthy snacks please!

Graze is ok. I like about 1/2 of what they send me. They use vegetable oil, which I can't stand. And a lot of their snacks are not low calorie or low sugar. It really depends on you and your tastes. I trash a lot of what they send because of the oil or sugar they put on it. but if you like that sort of thing, you will love it The good thing is you click trash and they never sent it to you again. Or you can pick the other box, which is all snacks for under 100 calories. Which leaves out the nuts and seeds snacks. (which is what I was looking for, since i don't like nuts enough to buy a big bag of them)

Some of those sound lovely, especially the toast with almond butter (what is ezekiel sprouted grain?). I love toast (could eat it until it was coming out of my ears...).

If you are not allergic to peanuts than you can have one of my favorites, "Peanuts and Dried Cranberries."

Or peanut butter and (any type of) apple.

Most nuts are good for snacking though in small amounts. They can really stack up with fat and calorie content if you are not careful.

Any fruit is always a good choice to go with. Dried fruit if you like but be careful on the amount.

That is what I can think of. Most of my snacks tend to have something to do with peanuts and/or fruit.

GRAPES!!!! I've had a big craving for grapes and it works out fine. Nuts are healthy but for the moving around a lot. High fat and calorie. Which is actually a reason they are good for you.
Seriously though.... Grapes. A sweet fruit you can pick at all day.

I'm a serious cheap skate so I wound NEVER spend money on something like that. I'm also picky so as someone else said, at least half of it would be wasted.

You can save a fortune if you have a store that sells nuts/seeds and stuff bulk. We have an upscale store here that's all about the organic that has TONS of bulk nuts/seeds/snacks and stuff.

Then for us regular folks there is Winco who isn't organic but has a hella ton of bulk stuff.

My favorite snacks are mixing nuts (Bulk is great because I can just get the nuts I like). Then get home and dump them in a big plastic container and mix them up. Then I measure out an ounce when I'm ready to eat them (or pack them for work). I add the quantities of all the nuts into recipe creator and then weight the mix.....then enter that many ounces of servings so it's easy to add to my daily log.

My current FAVORITE snack is 1 apple cut into chunks, 1 C grapes washed and tossed on top of the apples, 2 tbsp of chopped walnuts. Something about the grapes keeps the apple from browning overnight so I can make it the night before for work. I eat half @ 10 am and half @ 3pm for my snacks. Same thing, it's in my recipe builder.

Another awesome bulk thing is trail mix. My favorite mix is dried mangoes (I dice them smaller before tossing them into the mix), macadamia nuts, flake coconut, and banana chips (all from winco). I run a meat hammer over the macadamia nuts to break them up just a little bit and toss it all together. Nom Nom Nom Nom. Also in my recipe builder.

They have lots of dried fruits and so many nuts the possibilities seem endless for trail mixes.

I update my recipe builder whenever I make a new batch of any of the above (except of course the apple/grape/walnut mix since it never changes).

Hey
I snack a lot and often have a problem with making those healthy! Also because healthy snacks can be quite pricey!
Some of the healthy snacks i enjoy are:
- all sorts of berries
- home made popcorn
- mandarins
- tea - green tea, black tea, pu-erh tea, (sometimes when I have some warm tea I forget about snacking so normally i'd have a cup of something warm before snacking away)
- hot chocolate (i have the single packets 40kcal each) when i fancy some chocolate (which is always) ill have a cup of low calorie hot chocolate and usually the desire for chocolate goes away!
- veg e.g. radish, cut up carrots, cucumber, anything you like really!
-greek yoghurt with some frozen berries
- one of my favourite things however that I eat all the time are fine green beans!
they are low in calories and also a good veggie how i make them:
-boil/steam fine green beans until almost ready
-drain from water
-put them in a heated up pan with 1kcal spray sprayed a few times, once they are 'frying' put a bit of sesame seeds and garlic salt.
I really like to leave them a bit crunchy but once they are cooked and a bit browned they are ready to eat! yummy and healthy

In relation to graze box, I had it delivered every friday but as some people said i didnt like most things normally so ended up binning or wasting them HOWEVER, i think as i was cancelling my deliveries i saw that you can now chose specific things you want

I guess it is all about trial and error and seeing what snacks best suit you and stop you craving more snacking and satisfy you

Good luck!

sounds interesting.... i might have to look into it further myself

I have been getting graze boxes for a while...by far my favorites are the flapjacks. Those things are so good! While it is true they use oils and sugar, the snacks do fit perfectly into a balanced diet when planned right. I don't give a hoot about my sugar intake, honestly. As far as price goes....it is $6 a box and you get 4 snacks per. I only get one every other week, so for $12 a month I get 8 snacks. They usually last me a while, I still have like 10 of them in my pantry (been on a yogurt trip for a while lol). They are great on the go snacks.
