    Raw veggies and fruits. String cheese. Cottage cheese or yogurt. Hard boiled eggs. Protein bars. Protein powder smoothies.
    I make oat bars about once a month, keep them in the freezer, take one out and pop it in the microwave for 1 minute.

    Crispy broad beans or nuts in 100-calorie single serve packets. Prunes. Fresh fruit. Babybel light cheese individual rounds. Light Jarlsberg or Cabot Light Cheddar Cheese. Good-quality individually wrapped chocolates, such as Lindt truffles, Godiva hearts, Ghirardelli squares. Marinated mushrooms. Pickles. Puppodums (microwave them, no oil needed). Dry-roasted soy nuts. Crispy chickpeas or lentils.

    YES! To all of the above. 😍

    There isn’t anything much easier (or faster) than fruits and veggies. - grab and go.

    I started here,
    https://www.mysequinedlife.com/healthy-baked-oatmeal-bars/#recipe and made changes.

    I put the oats in the blender until they make a course flour.
    I leave out the baking powder and usually the cinnamon and maple.
    I use unsweetened almond milk to cut calories.
    I beat the egg whites separately and fold them in last.(instead of baking powder).
    I always make mine with almonds, and increase the fruit to about 1/2 cup.

    I bake them in a 9 x 13 pan at 250 for an hour to an hour and 10 minutes and when they cool, cut them into 24 bars.

    Mine are a lot different consistency than hers, and I would think most people would like hers better. Mine makes a dense bar, under
    100 calories each. I’m not a big sweets eater, and these are a perfect dessert or sweet snack for me, perfect size.

    An easy one is a sliced apple, and dip it in a low-fat Greek yogurt like Chobani. About 200 calories and very filling with protein and fiber.
