    Any fruit with peanut butter

    Dark chocolate

    I have a huge sweet tooth and I used to have a candy bar and diet coke as a snack every afternoon at work. I stopped doing this but as a reward last week I got a Dove Dark chocolate bar but it seemed only marginally better than the standards - 3 musketeers, snickers, etc as far as calories and sugars.

    Are there other dark chocolates that you recommend?

    Dips and chips have always been my downfall but I find healthy ways to indulge. I always cut up veggies before the work week - celery, carrots, peppers (TruSweet brand is awesome) - and then measure them out and put in baggies for each day. I pair these veggies with hummus. There are so many flavors these days that taste awesome. (Or you can use any dip mix and mix with plain greek yogurt).

    I also get the plain Beanitos black bean chips (I think there are about 20 chips per serving) and pair with salsa. Or make a bean dip using the Vegetarian or fat-free refried beans and mix some salsa and taco seasoning in it. Filling and healthy!

    Fruit, especially things that are portable like apples, bananas and oranges.

    Nuts -eat sparingly though! I always measure out about 1/4 cup each morning, put it in a baggie and take to work.

    Vanilla yogurt with apple slices. Dip the apple into the yogurt. Omg. Heaven.

    Apple slices dipped in peanut butter is very good too, but I don't often like spending that many calories on peanut butter.

    Cucumber slices with Twang Pickle Salt sprinkled on top. Crunchy salty yummy.

    String cheese.

    I really like the dark chocolate wedges from Trader Joe's. I believe they are 73% cacao, and 2 wedges equal a serving size. You can find them in tins by the registers.

    I don't usually snack but if I'm really craving something I reach for a caramel-flavored rice cake with peanut butter and a sliced banana on top.
