What's your "Go to" snack?

chrissjourney

Looking for some ideas for stuff to keep at work to get me through in a pinch. What's your healthy choice for a go to snack?

Maize cracker is my life saver. Only 43 calories, no salt or sugar and taste like popcorn. I bought a cheese parer and I pare two thin slices of my goat's cheese Brebis and it fills a gap every time. Also a great alternative for a dessert.

Piqueaboo

Miso soup from the packet. it's super satisfying and has <40 calories.

Tootsie Pops

Tootsie Pops huh. Are those like tootsie rolls lol?

It's a Tootsie Roll inside of a lollypop.

And now I get it haha. I guess it just sounded funny to me.

I kind of rotate. Right now I'm on flavored popcorn -- Boom Chicka Pop, the Trader Joe's pickle popcorn, etc. I do almonds a lot, too, particularly the flavored ones. And string cheese.

Popcorn!

I made these delicious little frittata with Sara Lee Delightful bread, eggs, squash, onion, bacon, and little mozz. I made in my 24 count mini muffin tin. I brought them to work with me to have as snacks for the week, and they're only 21 cals per frittata! So good!

I love snacks. Eating little and often is usually my habit. Always welcome new friends and my diary is open to my friends' feeds.

debtay123

raisins and nuts (small portion),protein shakes, fiber one bar , grapes or other fruit

Aureilie

Instant oatmeal, a handful of peanuts, Kashi granola bars, water-packed fruit cups, and Magnum Mini ice cream bars are my typical snacks (though they'd be tough to bring to the office).

Katiebabyangel

My go to is actually popcorn. I'm lactose intolerant, so I eat popcorn that is lightly salted. This is if I have a microwave, of course. Popcorn can be healthy in moderation and there are some healthier brands if you like popcorn like I do!

nowine4me

Jiffy Pop kettle corn 100 calorie mini-bag OR Apple and cottage cheese.

SlothLady97

I like having a bag of skinny pop around. Air popped popcorn is pretty low calories, so I can munch for a while.

KyleGrace8

Fruit, oatmeal

myfightsong88

Greek yogurt, pop chips, fiber one bars, crackers and cheese

CafeRacer808

Baby carrots + Hummus
Greek yogurt (sometimes I add fruit, sometimes I eat it plain)
Toast + Almond Butter + a drizzle of honey
Cottage cheese
Nuts (usually almonds, pistachios or peanuts)
Popcorn

mila_lova

1/4 cup mixed nuts (it's 170 calories, but the fat and protein really fill me up)
Also, one piece of fun size candy is really reasonable in terms of calories, I've been having those as desserts. Although they do nothing to actually make me full. If I'm really hungry I'll eat something nutritious.

This week, I'm going to try for turkey slices, pickles, and pretzels (35 pretzel sticks only has 110 calories) because it has protein and seems satisfying.

aussieketogal

Hummus, capsicum, snow peas and celery is one of my main snacks.

emmam1212

Specifically weight watchers brand lite mozzarella string cheese (50cals) or Organic Valley pepperjack or cheddar cheese sticks (80cals). Cheese in general I've found it is more filling than most things, easy to grab and go and has very few calories.

pnwphotographer

I enjoy seaweed. I can get some great flavors, it's lightweight for hiking/exploring, the small packages are great for my desk, it's low in calories and most people turn their head to it so I don't have to share it much

davdampa1066

Bagel toasted, avocado, smoked salmon

davdampa1066

Hobnob buiscuit , warmed strawberries until slightly mushy, low fat Greek yogurt ,teaspoon of honey

red99ryder

good luck

Cashews have been saving me at work lately

That depends on what time of month it is. PMS I try to keep peanut butter, almonds, cheese, cottage cheese, boiled eggs on hand. I like to pair these with an apple, grapes, oranges, or bananas, blueberries, or strawberries.This combination of food tends to help keep me from eating everything in sight. I still feel hungry, but it's much more manageable. If PMS isn't driving my hunger I can just eat whatever and it doesn't seem to matter.

When I snack at work, I snack for flavor and not to fill myself up. My current desk stash has that in mind: Nut/seed snack bars, Skittles, Larabar bites, chocolate coconut candies, gummy candies, mini cookie packs, fruit chews, chocolate peanut butter cups, and 100-calorie almond packs. One of these will usually kick any craving I have -- they range from 60-200 calories each.

Those Larabar bites are awesome.

To answer the thread, my current favorite snacks are a couple of Brazil nuts or walnuts. Just a few... maybe 10 grams worth.

FransessM

Cherry Tomatoes. A bit sweet, low cal, filling, full of protein, vitamin C and Lycopene. Love it!

JBella0125

1) Edamame steamer bags
2) Celery and Carrots
3) Luna Bars-- My favorite are Chocolate Coconut and Nutz over Chocolate (tastes like a candy bar to me)
4) Complete Cookie by Lenny and Larry-- My favorites are lemon poppyseed and peanut butter

jlavdl86

Chickpeas, tomatoes, cukes, red onion that has been sitting in red wine vinegar and lemon juice.

Carrots and opa feta dill dressing.

Yogurt, berries, and Cheerios.

Deli meat with laughing cow cheese spread inside with a cucumber spear rolled up like sushi.

Nuts

Wasa crackers topped with hummus and tabouli
