    Protein: 14
    Carbs: 26
    Fat: 5

    low cal butter (1 teaspoon)
    200g Mixed fruit and nut muesli roughly ground (no bits bigger than a pea)

    60g of your favourite protein shake mix (I use sci-mx Lean mrf)
    1 Egg (beated)
    Handful of mashed up blueberry
    50ml water
    100ml 0% fat milk

    Soak the muesli and the oats in the milk overnight in a large bowel. Add in the water, the protein shake mix, and the egg. stir together for 2-3 mins. Grease 2 1/2 inch baking trays with your favourite low calorie butter and spead the mixture inside the baking tray evenly. Push the blueberry's into the mixture spaced out evenly.

    Bake for 45mins on 175 Deg, make sure to run a knife round the edge when you take it out of the oven, leave to cool completely then cut up into snack sized pieces.

    I usually snack at mid morning and mid afternoon to keep the 'fires burning' and go for the convenient Balderson 1 oz packets of old white cheddar and a handful of Marie's glutten free seed crackers.. or a piece of fruit with the beloved cheese.

    "Bump" allows folks to "bookmark" a topic so it will be in their "My Topics", then they can return to it later. Someone else asked this question a few weeks ago and recieved a reply, otherwise I would still be wondering.:blushing:

    my housemates think it's really weird,but I LOVE a banana cut in half longways and then half short-ways filled with peanut butter: like a pb sandwich but with banana instead of bread!

    yes this! and celery with almond butter (or fresh nut butter) and a few raisins. brings me back to childhood days of ants on a log. also, it's got fruit, veggie and a fat. I tend to lean towards this if I have a sugar craving after dinner!

    Here's another twist to "ants on a log": celery, with a laughing cow swiss cheese wedge and craisins! It's delish!

    This sounds amazing. The cheese how does that taste? I love sharp cheddar , regular cheddar and white cheddar is also good. I LOVE cheese

    Try celery with laughing cow cheese spread (light swiss) topped with craisins, it's a spin-off of "ants on a log"!

    EDIT: I think I posted this at the same time as someone else :) it is good.

    I have a bad sweet tooth. So, my snack is usually a fruit sometime throughout the day and a pure protein bar. I love grapes and apples with peanut butter!

    Honey wheat pretzels with a little wispride cheddar cheese. High in sodium though, but oh so good. I do have to watch myself or I'll eat the whole bag of pretzels.

    There are so many great ideas in here!

    I personally really enjoy Stacy's Pita Chips with a little bit of low-fat French Onion dip or homemade onion dip.

    I also love making smoothies with fruit and yogurt, then adding a little bit of cocoa powder to get that chocolatey fix!
