    Mine is a chocolate brownie. There isnt really such a thing as a healthy snack, just too little or too much..... especially if a bagel (wholemeal makes no difference) with peanut butter is considered healthy.

    Uh, ok.


    Seriously. Bread in general is full of carbs and sugar, wholemeal included. Wholemeal offers very little in comparison to white. I choose it simply because I prefer the taste. Peanut butter, high in sugar and fat also.

    Um, that's a very broad statement. My PB has no sugar added whatsoever, the ingredients are 97% peanuts, 2% palm oil and 1% sea salt. The fats are healthier fat than a milk chocolate candy bar, say.

    Same for white and wholemeal/grain/wheat breads.

    I think you'll find there are healthy snacks.

    Cottage cheese! If I have some I'll add a tbsp. of flax...if I'm low on protein, I'll toss in some tuna. NOM.

    I so wish I liked cottage cheese. I try, I do. The first spoonful goes down OK, then something kicks in and I just hate it. I've tried so many different ways, but I can't do it. Yak. Same goes for celery.

    i pretty much love anything if peanut butter is involved. or hummus

    I'm with you on that! PB is great on fruit, bread, or veggies and so is hummus. Very versatile and very delicious!

    for a meal, i make a pretty killer kale & quinoa salad that i could probably eat every day for the rest of my life.

    freshly chopped kale
    cup of quinoa
    goats cheese
    dried cranberries &/or golden raisins (natural, unsweetened)
    toasted almonds or pine nuts
    salt
    pepper
    lemon juice
    olive oil & balsamic vinegar

    for a snack, i usually just stick to raw almonds. sometimes, depending on how hungry i am, i'll bake a few brussel sprouts or steam some broccoli. pretty basic.

    Don't care, I'm still eating it.

    BEEF JERKY. High in protein, low in sugar. yummmmmm
    I've just bought steak strips though. While they are a great source of protein… They are quite high in sugar...

    Currently, I live for wholewheat bagels with peanut butter and mashed banana.

    That, but instead of banana I smash one square of 80% dark chocolate to tiny pieces and sprinkle. Foodgasm.

    Trying this! May even do it with some salted dark chocolate. Mmmm.

    My dessert most nights is a bowl of chopped fruit and yoghurt. Usually:

    1 kiwi
    1 small banana (or a small apple)
    15-20 green grapes
    15-20 blueberries
    1 pot of lactose-free vanilla yoghurt
    2 teaspoons of fruit muesli

    Cauliflower popcorn! Same principle as the kale chips. You're just roasting but if you do it long enough the texture because snack-food quality. :smile: Both are nice and crunchy.

    LOL. No butter over here, just a little oil and salt.
