    Oooooh, clean snacks... all I've got for that would be almonds, and shreddies? (lots of iron in shreddies). I'm testing out IIFYM right now, 70 calorie creamsicles are amazing :D

    What are shreddies? Lol.

    My favorites----

    Mix verde salsa & hot sauce in with some non-fat plain greek yogurt and use as cracker/veggie dip.

    Combine a half can of white shredded chicken breast with non-fat greek yogurt and Frank's hot sauce and put on crackers/toast/veggies. Tastes like buffalo chicken dip :heart:

    Top a banana with some peanut butter (I use PB2) and sugar free chocolate chips. Goes well with a nice cup of coffee :drinker:

    Mix some Jello Sugar-Free Cheesecake pudding mix into non-fat vanilla greek yogurt and use as fruit dip. It's wonderrrrful.

    Combine 1 cup of non-fat vanilla greek yogurt with 1/2 packet (can use more to taste) of Duncan Hines Frosting Creations for flavored yogurt (the whole packet is only 10 cals, 1g sugar. They're in the baking aisle, usually around $.69 each). Goes well with fruit as a dip also!

    [ETA: For people who don't like yogurt- I can't stand yogurt on it's own (weird texture thing) but the above snacks are in my permanent rotation... they're more like dips rather than eating yogurt!]

    The cereal. The "?" was because, I'm not sure if they qualify as clean or not, lol. They're my chip replacement. They're processed, but "made with whole grain wheat", high in fibre, and iron.

    Unless the joke just went over my head, lol, in which case :P

    I make ice lollies using fresh orange and mango juice (Aldi) using plastic lolly moulds. Delicious and uses much less juice than if you had a glass of juice.

    "Eating clean" is such an outdated term now...

    Regardless, try NatureBox. $20/mo. for "clean" snacks, $3 for every extra thing added to the box. Starts at 5.

    So I'm thinking of trying frozen banana slices, and was checking the database and found "peeled banana"... have I been eating bananas wrong, lol.

    Yes to NatureBox! You can also choose the snacks you receive every month. This ensures you will receive 5 snacks you enjoy as opposed to 5 that are just ok. The French Toast Granola is my favorite thus far!

    Yes! I agree - clean or dirty - don't care - I'm snacking on M&Ms now (weighed out 1 ounce!)

    I make my own version of McDonald's fruit and yogurt. I get plain greek yogurt, flavor it with honey and a little vanilla. Then I make some candied walnuts (just brown sugar and walnuts in the pan and bake for 5mins.) Slice some green apples and throw in a few red grapes.....Of course my favorite part of the snack is the CANDIED walnuts!

    I make low-carb nut butter cookies... YUM!!

    to make:

    1 cup natural nut butter (I crush my own peanuts or almonds)
    1 cup vanilla protein powder (I use whey... no idea how other proteins would work)
    2 eggs
    sweetener to taste (I use amber agave nectar)

    Mix together. drop by spoonfuls on UNGREASED cookie sheet. Use fork to press cookie down. Bake at 350 for 7-10 minutes.

    Sooo tasty!!

    Anything that is 100 calories or less and isn't crazy with carbs. There are some junior ice cream pops at 90 calories that help when everyone else is eating dessert. Fruit, nuts, yogurt, skinny popcorn, carrots and even a piece of chocolate if it meets the 100 calorie around 10 carb criteria. Oh, don't forget jello and sugar free pudding

    Vanilla Greek yogurt with a tablespoon of honey and a good sprinkle of cinnamon. If I'm eating this for dinner (which I often do when I work late) I toss in an ounce of lightly salted almonds. Soooo tasty!!

    I am addicted to Weight Watchers Dark Chocolate Dulcé De Leche ice-cream bar. The Greek yogurt bars are super yummy as well.

    I also like string cheese dipped in salsa. The spicier the better! :happy:

    I like to keep seasoned oyster crackers on hand. I can vary to flavoring and just 1/2 cup meets the salty crunch I'm looking for without excessive calories. Start with a basic mix and then add your favorite flavorings just before serving. My favorites are dill and garlic, lemon pepper, and Cajun chili.

    Basic oyster cracker seasoned mix:

    2 - 9 oz. bags of oyster crackers (17 servings per bag)
    1/4 c. olive or canola oil
    1 packet (dry) Hidden Valley Original Ranch Salad Dressing and Seasoning Mix

    Toss the oyster crackers with the oil to thoroughly coat all of the oyster crackers then toss again with the dry ranch dressing/seasoning mix. Store in a large plastic container.

    I like to warm in the microwave after adding flavorings, such as dill and garlic, lemon pepper, or Cajun chili.

    lightly salted edamame
    hard-boiled eggs
    Greek yogurt
    dried apricots--I don't know whether it's the chewiness or what (I eat the unsulphured kind), but I find just a couple very satisfying
    almonds
    I make brown-rice sushi rolls with carrot and scallion or whatever I have on hand, then wrap them in wax paper and refrigerate. You can slice them and eat a couple of pieces or just eat them out of hand. They're very portable, too.

    My daytime snacks are mostly veg and non-fat cheese or bean dip. But at night I want crunchy or sweet foods, carbs really. Here's my list of good "bad" foods - ha ha.

    14 Trader Joes' organic tortilla chips with tons of fresh salsa (160 cal)

    2 Squares of 80% dark chocolate (50 ca)

    1.5 cups of air popped popcorn and 1 T olive oil (106cal)

    3 comfybelly coconut flour silver dollar pancakes with 1 T TJ's organic low fat whipped cream cheese and a few berries (130 cal) (http://comfybelly.com/2009/02/fluffy-coconut-flour-pancakes/)

    3 low carb almond flour cookies (111-150 if you ad chocolate chips)

    1 row of plain sakata rice crackers and a serving of TJ's eggplant hummus (130 cal)

    1/4 cup chia pudding (144 cal)

    These are great. I love spicy food. Seems to stop the food cravings for me and the high protein of greek yogurt is a better idea than non-fat sour cream. Thanks,

    core an apple
    cut into 4 pieces but not wedges - the other way , like plates
    spread some organic peanut butter to both layers
    add some raisins /dates or you favourite dried fruit on top of the peanut butter
    stack together and you have the perfect tasty snack for protein and carbs

    Dark chocolate sea salt almonds. A little goes a long way. (And food is not dirty)

    Cherries, strawberries, plums, blueberries, grapes, a frozen bandanna thrown in the blender with a tablespoon of peanut butter OR tablespoon of cocoa powder for some delicious faux ice cream, frozen cherries in a blender for some fast faux sorbet, a dark chocolate square and dried cranberries, chocolate avocado pudding, and a cup of yogurt with berry sauce are my suggestions.

    Berry sauce:
    1/2 cup of berries of choice
    2 teaspoons of agave nectar
    1 tablespoon of water

    Blend the berries, agave, and water together until smooth. Heat the mixture in a pan on medium heat until heated through.

    Chocolate avocado pudding
    Ingredients

    1 ripe avocado
    1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    1 tsp pure vanilla extract
    3 tbsp maple syrup or raw, local honey
    1/4 cup coconut or almond milk

    Directions

    Put all ingredients in food processor or blender and blend until smooth and creamy.

    Chill in refrigerator for at least 15 min.

    I'm intrigued by the frozen bandanna in the blender : ^ D
