Anything that fits my calorie/macro/micro goals is my favorite healthy treat. And chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.

OHhhhHHH SNAP IIFYM man never heard of that!!! ....

Frozen grapes are awesome like little freezes... all frozen fruit really is amazing to me.

Frozen green grapes! Especially during the summer!

Some of my favs...

• Plain greek yogurt with defrosted frozen berries and a little granola.
• An apple with ricotta cheese (or PB)
• Cottage cheese and pineapple
• Turkey and cheese wrapped in romaine leaves
• Lightly steamed long green beans seasoned with garlic salt and eaten chilled as a snack.
• Roasted okra
• Roasted veggies (brussel sprouts, carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc.), chilled and eaten cold...good added to sandwiches too.
• Pumpkin, apple, banana, oatmeal protein bars
• Chocolate avocado pudding
• Homemade fruit popcicles
• Frozen grapes and frozen pitted cherries
• Hard boiled egg (I make them on the weekend for the following week)
• Nuts, seeds, fruit, dried fruit, etc.
• Smoothies, green, green/fruit, or just fruit. I love to blend almond milk with frozen pineapple and a little vanilla, or blend half a banana with a few strawberries and some milk and ice (reminds of Nestles strawberry quik)

- cheddar cheese and pickles sliced in half.
- oatmeal with some peanut butter and chopped fruit
- Trader Joe's peanut butter pretzels, unless I eat too many of them. They're so good crushed on top of frozen yogurt
- mixed nuts
- dates and almonds
- baba ganoush with rice cakes or sliced veggies

I need some inspiration. What healthy foods do you enjoy when you're looking for a sweet treat or salty snack?

My favorites so far include: guacamole and tortilla chips (very satisfying), a frozen banana blended with a cup of milk (it really does taste like a milk shake!), and antipasto w/ a few olives, small piece of cheese, roasted red peppers, and maybe some pickled veggies.

I'm looking for some real food options. Not prepackaged snacks or foods that use fake substitutes. Thanks!

I personally love popchips for my salt cravings. Yes, they are prepackaged, but I find a double serving satisfies me for under 400mg of sodium and under 300 cals. On a day I have extra calories for it, I can eat a whole bag and feel full and not feel guilty about it.

For other snacks I love- apples and peanut butter, diced tomatoes with diced string cheese (sometimes with black olives), or olives.

I'm in love with blueberries right now - the ones that are really sweet and crunchy. I'd eat a whole clam shell if they weren't so damn expensive.

Salty wise, call me crazy, but I'm on a kale-chip kick right now. I've got my dehydrator out a lot recently for kale chips. Gotta try making some kale chips with powdered king oyster mushroom as seasoning, though. I think that would be absolutely amazing.

I like caramel corn rice cakes--or is that a "fake substitute" according to you? Though you say you like pickled veggies but don't want "prepackaged snacks..." though maybe you're making all your own olives and pickles, who knows.

I'm not really a salty snack person, but pickle roll-ups are nice for the occasional craving. Spread a little cream cheese (or Laughing Cow type if you want even lower calories) on a slice of ham, roll that around 1/4 or 1/3 of a pickle (sliced lengthwise,) then cut into bites like sushi. Very low-cal, a little trashy, but really nice on a warm summer day.

-Greek yogurt with a drizzle of Hershey syrup and some fat-free redi-whip
-crackers and cheese
-protein smoothie is a new favorite
-ice cream (not being smart-i try to get tons of calcium and ice cream or froyo is a favorite
-watermelon
-carrots and avocado

Strawberries with lemon juice squeezed on it! Tastes just like candy
