I need some healthy on the go or just grab quick items to eat. I am just getting back into working out and eating better. I need fresh ideas for snacks besides the usual...yogurt & fruit tips...any suggestions?

    I like quick snacking on celery or snap peas. They don't go bad quickly. They both are crunchy which is usually what I used to snack on - like chips.

    This is amazing if you are looking for a sweet treat, plus is packed with tons of protein!

    I usually do:
    apples and peanut butter
    nuts
    yogurt
    veggies and hummus

    another not so healthy snack that i still have about 3-5 times a week is 3 slices of bacon :)

    THANK YOU! I absolutely enjoy chickpeas roasted, but normally they are savory. I am going to buy some chickpeas tomorrow at the store and make these. Yum!

    They have these packaged now. I have seen them at Target.
    I make my own though. The sky is the limit, sweet or savory, what ever you like. I particularly like dill with a little cayenne.

    Other than fruit, I love Mini rice cake popped chips. I like savory snacks, so I get different flavors to change it up. You can find them by the rice cakes. Also, hummus with pretzel crisps is one of my go-to snacks. I also keep Fiber One protein bars in my purse - my favorite is coconut almond.

    -Luna protein bars
    -ThinkThin Protein Bites
    -Apples and Peanut Butter
    -Lean1 Meal Replacement (I also use optimum nutrition, but I have to do this one as my morning on-the-go because I have to use milk with it. The Lean1, I can just pack the powder and add water from a fountain and shake it up)
    -Boiled egg
    -Celery and hummus. Also works with other veggies and pita bread/chips
    -Cheerios
