    I agree with the low cal cheese wedges (especially with Triscuits). Sometimes I'll also do a part-skim mozzarella cheese stick with either crackers or a fruit (apple or grapes).

    I also like taking half a banana with 1 tbsp of peanut butter and a sprinkle of dark chocolate (or a few chocolate chips if that's what I have on hand). This one is a little higher with calories but it makes a great treat and the calories can vary higher or lower depending on how much of the ingredients are used.

    Another one that I like as a good low cal dessert is to take a mandarin orange cup, drain the liquid, and top it with a little whipped cream. I actually haven't done that in a little while...I should revisit it.

    Miso soup with half a cup of low fat cottage cheese. High in protein, and also hydrating. I heat up water with a spoonful of miso paste, and add the cheese right before eating it. The cheese starts to melt without getting too sticky.

    - Half a bagel thin with a thin layer of peanut butter and a sprinkle of chia seeds (complete protein powerhouse)
    - Clif bar
    - Handful of mixed nuts
    - baby carrots (or red pepper, or celery) and hummus
    - green smoothie
    - Kashi mocha almond bar
    - sugar snap peas
    - celery with peanut butter
    - roasted cinnamon maple chick peas

    I also snack on sweets but I'm guessing we are looking for healthy options here!

    Yum! I'll have to try the mandarin orange cups with whipped cream. Sweet and creamy!
    Thanks Jessilee!
