I tried to reply and not sure if it went through. I like sliced carrots and celery with fat free ranch dressing. Also, sliced cucumber, tomato and string cheese with Garlic Expressions is yummy. Another easy snack is slice apple and cheese or tortilla chips and salsa. Hope that helps!

I think that is my downfall too. I will think my "snacks" are snack-sized, when they are probably meal-sized. Lol!

But I do like almonds and other nuts for snacking, as they are super filling. But I like to put them in ziploc bags ahead of time rather than eating straight from the container so I don't eat too many. I also keep V8 in my fridge at school for a quick liquid snack (I like to pretend I am drinking a Bloody Mary if it has been a particularly stressful day. hehe!). Another thing I am trying this week is that I really like cheese as a snack, but as I mentioned earlier, I think I probably eat too much of it in one serving. So I bought blocks of cheese and then cut them up into serving sizes right when I got home from the grocery store. Most blocks of cheese contain 8 servings so I cut them into 8 equal sized cubes and so now if I pack them in my lunch, I know to just grab one cube for one serving.

I am personally trying to make my lunches compromised entirely of low calorie snacks so I can graze as the day goes on without packing on the calories. Oh and this is maybe not so much a snack but Lisa got me hooked on this salad dressing packet; it is Good Seasons garlic and herb. You mix it with balsamic vinegar and olive oil and you have a dressing. I have just been buying pre-boxed green salads (the baby romaine or field greens) and packing that in my lunch. A little of that dressing goes a long way, so I am fairly certain the salad itself is pretty low in calories but is super tasty.

Speaking of salad dressing, Becca made fatoush salad a long time ago for a holiday gathering and made homemade dressing with it. Since then, I have been making this dressing for my salads at lunch. It is so yummy. It's basically 1/2 C lemon juice (fresh squeezed, usually about 3 lemons), 1/2 C light olive oil, 2-3 minced garlic cloves, and 1/2 tsp salt. Let it set overnight before using it so that the flavors blend together. I'm sure you could use less olive oil if you wanted it to be lighter.

LOVE the recipe idea. All those snackeroos sounds yummy! Good call on the V8! Homemade salad dressing is the way to go. tastes better and not full of weird stuff!
