Hi,

Please recommend your favorite snacks. Presently I eat nuts, dried fruit, veggies and frozen yogurt between meals. I would love some more variety.

    VitaMuffins. Great taste. High Fiber and several high vitamin percentages. 100 Calories. Perfect snack in my book.

    How about a banana and a tbls of natural peanut butter?

    Protein shake

    I like for my snacks to have some protein in them instead of all carbs it seems to help me stay "in control".

    Hope this helps and good luck to ya!! =)
