After dinner Snacks

I'm am after dinner 'sweets' person, so when I am low on calories I generally go for sugar free jello or pudding with light whipped cream. One snack is under 75 calories with the whipped cream, so you could have two!!

I also love Ghiradelli dark chocolate squares. 60 calories each plus you'll be getting some good antioxidants too. I like the individually wrapped ones because I don't have the willpower to break off a piece of a full size bar. Once it's opened, it's gone!

Skinny Cow treats are all 150 calories or less. Or try some Greek yogurt with fresh fruit, a bowl of cereal with nonfat milk, a protein shake or a protein bar. You really have tons of delicious options available for 150 calories or less... the trouble is sticking to ONE snack.:laugh:

Better yet, if you know you are an after dinner snacker, then why not save extra calories so you can have a little more than 150? Honestly, that is what I normally do. I try to save about 300 calories since I know around 8pm I'm gonna want a snack (or three). As long as it fit within your daily calorie allowance, it doesn't matter when you eat it. It's all about budgeting your calories.

Air popped popcorn with 0 cal spray oil (butter flavoured) and ranch seasoning is my favourite after-supper snack right now. Pudding if I have a sweet tooth, or a minty smoothie (banana, spinach, milk, couple of drops of peppermint extract, and sweetened to taste).

Hubby loves salads in the evening - they're crunchy, calorie-controlled, and he loves adding ham and his fave dressing if he has the calories left.

Weight Watchers has an fudge ice cream bar thats 100 calories. Popcorn bags that are 100 cals. Fiber One Brownie is 90 cals. Almonds, peanuts, I like this product called Bark Thins, it's dark chocolate with either pretzel pieces, almond pieces, or peppermint pieces in it. 1.4 oz of the pretzel one is 200 cals, 1.4 oz of the almond one is 220 oz. (not sure of the peppermint one, it was good, but the mint kept getting stuck in my teeth). Skinny cow, popsicles, Starburst has a sorbet bar thats either 70 or 90 cals. Coconut milk ice cream, So Delicious is the brand, I think the serving is 150 cals. 1 serving of bbq kettle chips is 150 cals.

Couple ounces of turkey and a couple dried apricots

celery and peanut butter

small apple and a string cheese

2 or 3 tbs of popcorn (just air pop in a sealed brown lunch bag in microwave for a few minutes)

cucumber slices topped with a little turkey and cheese

raw veggies and a little hummus, bean dip, guacamole or salsa

yogurt

hardboiled egg and sliced tomato

banana, a few strawberries, 1/2 cup milk, dash vanilla, 2 cups ice...blend and drink or let it set up for about a 1/2 hour in the freezer for a slushie

a hot drink (decaf tea or coffee, herbal tea, etc)

roasted okra, toss a frozen bag of okra with a little EVOO and salt on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for a out 20 minutes till crispy (but not burned)

Haha everyone just loves greek yogurt it seems! Pretty understandable though- I mean it has a great protein to calorie ratio and goes well with just about any fruit or berry

If you're looking for something savory air popped popcorn is good; you just need a paper bag and a microwave! I like mine with garlic powder and cayenne with a pinch of pepper~
