I know fruits and veggies and all that good stuff. But I have more of a sweet tooth...need for chocolate. All I know now is about those Bliss bars and I also have Nutrigrain bars. Mind you, I'm also allergic to all nuts so. :/ Really sucks. Also coconut. Anyone can help out?

    Trader Joe's dark chocolate covered mini pretzels. Only 10 cal each, and with that little bit of saltiness- yum!

    Edit: not exactly HEALTHY, but only takes a few to handle the chocolate fix!

    I'm a big fan of protein in my snacks:

    Cottage Cheese
    Hardboiled egg
    Greek Yogurt
    Veggies with Hummus
    Small protein shake (skim milk, protein powder, frozen berries)
    Edamame (soybeans in the pod)

    I'm not a big 'sweets' person. Even when I have chocolate, it's the 86% cocoa dark chocolate. Ghirardelli makes nice chocolate squares that come individually wrapped that are pretty low in calories. Depends on how safe you feel with a bag of them in your pantry!

    Fruit may work for you if you have a sweet tooth.

    Sorry you can't eat nuts, as they are a great snack.

    Yo ucan also have a smaller serving of something that would normally be a meal.

    Cascadian Farms Organic Kid-size Peanut Butter and Chocolate Granola Bars, or Nature's Own Dark Chocolate Granola Thins. They're only 80 calories but give you just enough chocolate and crunch to satisfy your sweet tooth. I also like Sensible Portions potato straws in Apple Cinnamon. You can eat 38 straws and it's only 130 calories.

    Just plain dark chocolate. that's my favorite. Lindt or Green & Black. I only eat chocolate 70% & above cocoa. Its so rich, it fulfills all my cravings! 2 squares of Lindt Smooth Dark Chocolate (white package) is only 110 calories, 9.5 gms fat, 8.5 carbs. (Fat is not the enemy)

    I have just discovered Craisins, they are gorgeous and sweet. I also love almonds now.

    I agree with the frozen grapes. They are like little spheres of sorbet. If you can find seedless pink grapes, they are incredible.

    For my chocolate fix I love Dove Chocolate Promises. Unlike a candy bar where I have to resist the temptation to eat more than one square, I can just pull out one or a couple of these candies and let them defrost on the counter (yes, I keep them in the freezer) for a few minutes.
