Here are a few of my favorites. What are yours?
Apple with peanut butter (slice apples horizontally, spread peanut butter on 1 slice and top with other slice. Apple peanut butter sandwiches and you can control amount of peanut butter while assuring peanut butter in every bite)
Cheese and apple (I make apple sandwiches but use sharp cheddar cheese with granny smith apples, cheddar with gala, etc)
banana with peanut butter (melt peanut butter in microwave and drizzle on banana.)
Celery with peanut butter
Celery with tuna
Dill pickles and cheese (my fave: chèvre cheese)
fruit with cottage cheese
string cheese and fruit (I peel the bit of string cheese and wrap around apple or pear chunks.
Greek yogurt and fruit
Greek yogurt w/cucumber, lemon and garlic or spinach and garlic on celery or cracker
Lettuce Roll-ups -- Roll meat, fish, cheese, egg salad, hummus, tuna or other filling AND veggies in lettuce leaves.
Kale chips (many recipes on internet, I like mine with sea salt and sprinkling parmesan cheese)
Apple with peanut butter (slice apples horizontally, spread peanut butter on 1 slice and top with other slice. Apple peanut butter sandwiches and you can control amount of peanut butter while assuring peanut butter in every bite)

Healthy snack: Fresh apple, with nothing else.
Not so healthy snack: Lays Wavy chips, with french onion soup in non-fat sour cream dip, and an ice cold Coke in an A&W mug.0 -
pink lady apple. Greek yogurt. Kiwi0
-
Sugar snap peas
Apple and cheese - not in the same mouthful, just int the same snack.
Gorilla Munch cereal....why should it only be for the kids?0 -
apples, almond butter, granola, applesauce, apple rings, oatmeal, peanut butter, OH, and any type of nut butter and banana on ezekiel bread or a bagel, doesn't matter, just have to get it done.0

Those are some great ideas!0

frozen yogurt...
like actually frozen small tubs of yogurt. Tastes like ice cream. You can easily trick yourself...and only 35 calories!0 -
My favorite snack is a handful of Kix cereal lol0

I love Kix!! We just finished a box today.0

These all sound yummy. Goldfish are mine, but not too healthy
Some healthy ones are:
Celery and peanut butter with raisins
Cottage cheese and pears
Hummus and pita
I'll have to try some of yours...0 -
A little nutrition note: combining protein with carbohydrates gives you sustained energy. It takes longer to process carb (preferred energy source for your body) when coupled with a protein.
All of you that mentioned just carbs, get some protein in there!
Some milk with your Kix, wrap some turkey around the cantaloupe.
You can definitely eat cheese separately from the apple (still works if eating same snack time) but have you ever combined the two? YUM! THe French are notorious for their brie with figs, blueberries, pears, apples.0 -

35 calories of frozen yogurt?
frozen yogurt is usually about 100 calories/ 4 oz serving (1/2cup). 35 calories is about 1/6th cup.
1/2 Fage 0% Greek yogurt = 66 calories and has 5g carb and 11g protein with vitamins, minerals, active cultures, etc. Can add fruit and freeze.
I don't like buying frozen yogurt from shops. More chemicals than actual food.
Example: Pasteurized and Cultured Skim Milk, Sugar, Corn Syrup, Whey, Nonfat Dry Milk, Natural & Artificial Vanilla Flavors, Milk Protein Isolate, Cellulose Gum, Guar Gum, Carrageenan, Modified Food Starch, Pectin. Contains the following live and active cultures: S. thermophilus, L. bulgaricus, L. lactis and L. acidophilus.

Make your own and forget the sugar, corn syrup, etc.0
