    Plain rice cake with a thin layer (tblsp) of low fat cream cheese spread, topped with a tablespoon of no sugar strawberry jam.

    Slice up an apple, sprinkle with cinnamon, and dip in greek yogurt with a bit of honey added.

    Both of these are very filling...

    And I always have a 0% fat yogurt cup around 3:30 -4:00 in the afternoon....so I am not starving when I get home to make supper.

    Hungry, Hungry Artichoke Hummus


    PER SERVING (1/8th of recipe, about 1/4 cup): 56 calories, 0.5g fat, 400mg sodium, 9g carbs, 3g fiber, 1g sugars, 3g protein -- PointsPlus® value 1*

    Prep:
    10 minutes


    Ingredients

    1 cup canned artichoke hearts, drained
    1/4 cup fat-free vegetable broth
    1/4 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt (like the kind by Fage)
    1 tbsp. lemon juice
    1 1/2 tsp. crushed garlic
    1/2 tsp. dried parsley flakes, plus more for optional garnish
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1/4 tsp. black pepper
    1/4 tsp. ground cumin
    1/4 tsp. paprika, plus more for optional garnish
    One 15-oz. can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
    Directions

    Put all ingredients except chickpeas in a blender.

    Using a potato masher or a fork, thoroughly mash the chickpeas in a bowl. Transfer to the blender. Puree until smooth, stopping and stirring if blending slows.

    For best flavor, refrigerate hummus for several hours. Before serving, add a sprinkle each of paprika and parsley flakes, if you like. Serve with pita chips, cut veggies, or your guilt-free dippers of choice!

    I've just started this but I like fruits...bananas, grape fruits, and grapes. I also have tried the Nabisco SnackWell's Fudge Pretzels 100 Calorie pack. I normally just buy the box and take it to work and eat a pack a day for my snack.
