Jello cook and serve fat free chocolate free pudding- made with 30 calorie per cup almond milk-- even at 1/2 the pan ( about a cup) it is very low cal and satisfies the sweet tooth! And the almond milk is good for you

I found a new snack. Air popped popcorn, dry roasted peanuts, and mini dark chocolate chips. It's awesome!0

Chocolate ball with sea salt and pretzels, some gluten free snack bars can be really good, peanut butter on apples, nuts, people0

Roasted chickpeas are high protein and you can make them in so many ways. Its a can of chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and dried. Coat with 2tsp olive oil, and toss any seasoning you want, bbq, cayenne, curry. Or make them sweet, toss with 2 tsp honey and cinnamon, or a little brown sugar. Bake on a cookie sheet @450 for 25mins0

I love fruit (especially strawberries, blueberries, or pineapple) with low fat cottage cheese. Just mix 'em in equal parts and it's slightly sweet, slightly salty. Super yummy. It sounds a little weird, but low fat cream cheese or cool whip is really good on rice cakes with some berries on top, too.0

Oven roasted zucchini chips, spice them as you like, they are delicious.
Roasted chickpeas with salt and some garlic.
Greek yogurts like key lime with some coconut and pineapple are so satisfying.
Triscuit thins with a little brie and salsa.
fudge pops are low in calorie and a great substitute for ice cream.

I like to take about a cup of frozen fruit and put it in my Ninja blender! Add a tiny pour of sugar free vanilla creamer and a little water and you have something that resembles soft serve ice cream!

For sugar cravings, I like wegmans nonfat vanilla yogurt with cut up strawberries. 1 cup with 4 strawberries is about 125 calories. There's also halo top ice cream for 120 cals a cup (and really, really good.) When my mother used to get pizza, I would make "pizza rolls" to kill the craving. Small, low carb tortilla (80-90cals) + pizza sauce (35) + cheese stick (light, 50cal) + put it in the microwave long enough to melt the cheese = 165-175 cal lazy pizza snack 0

I keep a box of granola bars/nutrigrain bars at my desk and at home so if I need just a quick snack that's on the go, it's easy and quick and depending on the kind you get, not too high in calories
If I have more time, or if I make food for the week ahead of time, hummus and carrots; frozen grapes, Greek yogurt with 1/4 cup of granola; string cheese; tangerines; almonds; banana and a tbs peanut butter; and sooooo many more!
I tend to go for anything that's just quick and easy. For me, I don't like to spend a lot of time preparing food, so all these work out for me.0 -
- 6-8 water crackers, 2 egg and cucumber.I find I'm constantly trying to find snacks that kill a craving. Healthy snacks can be so dull! And even sometimes really calorific... Hummus/ guac two of my fave 'healthy' snacks are loaded in calories. HELP!!!!!
- 6-8 water crackers, 100g ham, cucumber.

I generally snack on home made protein bars or fruit, if I don't want to prepare anything. I make the protein bars 16 or 32 at a time, so they are always available. Fat free greek yogurt with some fruit and/or Walden Farms zero calorie sauces for flavor are also good with minimal prep time.0

I love Walden Farms products! I discovered them while I was on Weight Watchers a few years ago.0 -

i can usually find a fruit or vegetable that will satisfy most of my junk food cravings. but if i can't find a healthy alternative, then i give in to the junk and eat just enough to kill the craving and no more. rarely do i bring the junk into my home, but work is still a HUGE problem for me (as far as the junk). and i know that there is NO such thing as "junk" food, but there IS such a thing as less healthy than other foods.0

Yasso's Greek Yogurt Bars - Mint Chocolate Chip. 100kcal per bar and it's oh-so good.
Welch's Frozen Berry Blends (Four Berries or Antioxidant Mix) is another fave of mine. I like adding it to greek yogurt and oatmeal, too.
Hershey's Bliss, Dark Chocolates. 35kcal per chocolate.
I love snacking on tomato salad, too-- just diced tomatoes, spinach, red onions, red peppers, black pepper, green olives, string beans, olive oil, and white vinegar. Sometimes I'll put some on toasted wheat bread (40-45kcal/slice), but usually I eat it as it is.
Oh man, and cheese. White cheddar is a favorite of mine, and the one I get is approx 110kcal per 1oz. If I have a lot of calories leftover I'll make hot chocolate with 1% milk and add about 1-2oz of some yellow cheese (usually American or gouda). I don't indulge in that too often, though, for obvious reasons.
Turkey wrapped in lettuce is another option.
And fresh fruit, in my opinion, never gets old.

Hot chocolate with cheese in it? I'm having trouble wrapping my head around that.0

for afternoon snacks I sometimes have ceviche (100 grm for me) ! love it 0

Frozen grapes are amazing. Also, I love doing apples and peanut butter, rice cake with a little peanut butter and a few banana slices, trail mix, string cheese, a pickle, popsicles, popcorn, fruit cups, probiotic yogurt, carrots and light ranch, smoothie, toasted almonds, wheat tortillas spray butter and cinnamon (bake in the oven and it becomes crispy) then drizzle a little all natural honey on it 0

I always eat string cheese - the weight watchers brand is only 50 calories per stick. If you're at home, sweet potato chips are super easy to bake. Just cut up, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and bake at 400 for 25 min or so and you can make a great dip for those by mixing plain Greek yogurt and Dijon mustard.
Definitely going to try this. Thanks!0 -
Fresh veggies with hummus (roasted red pepper is my fav...eating it as I type now), Cracker Barrell 2% sharp cheddar sticks, String cheese, 100 cal pack Almonds (dark chocolate roasted...awesome when you want something sweet), Sensible Portions Garden Veggie Straws, Dannon Fit n Light Greek Yogurt with 1Tbl Chia seeds, hard boiled egg, cooked zucchini and yellow squash with ICBINB spray...can you tell I am a big snacker!0

raw sugar snap peas are nice and sweet, baby carrots, sliced tomatoes with a little salt and pepper. All of those are super low calorie.0
-
My go to snacks are really just fruit and raw dark greens. Grapefruit, Greek yogurt, mandarin oranges, pineapple, mangos, celery with yogurt or almond butter, a quick sunny side up egg..0

If you need sweets, jawbreakers sugar free are pretty good. Something like 2 1/2 calories per sweet so you can eat quite a lot of them and stay within reasonable range. Lots of carbs & sweeteners though, so if you don't like those then they're maybe not so good0

This sounds yummy. Cheese is my downfall!MarciBkonTrk wrote: »I like to make parmesan cheese crisps. I take tablespoons of finely shredded parmesan cheese, place on a cookie sheet about an inch and half apart, and bake at 400 degrees for 5 minutes. They crisp up beautifully. Sometimes I add a little finely chopped turkey pepperoni to the cheese before I bake and then I dip them in salsa or marinara sauce. They will keep in a sealed container for about a week (if they last that long).
