I like to have a few snacks throughout the day. I try to eat clean and unprocessed foods as much as possible! However, I am really getting sick of snacking on veggies, berries (I try to keep my fruit/carb intake lower), and almonds!

Any other suggestions? :)

    Some of the snacks I eat....jello(10calories), I get chocolate pudding which is 60calories and dip my strawberries in it. A rice cake, carmel one is only 50calories. Special k bars are low in calories...90. Fiber 1 bar oats and chocolate is 140.

    I try to change my stuff up a little every week because I get burned out on stuff fast. And it will tempt me to want to get something that taste better like a hamburger or something.

    Pickled veggies!
    This seems to be my stock answer to every snack question, I could be accused of being slightly obsessed with them, lol! :)
    They are low cal/fat, really nutritious and very tasty.
    I eat some everyday, totally guilt free. I'd eat more but I can't pickle often enough to keep up with my craving. :)

    Maybe not a snack? But I found all natural protein bars called "perfectly simple by zone perfect." They are pretty delicious.

    As for trying to eat unprocessed foods, I should and suck at it but I have been looking for all natural/organic snacks like pretzels and cheese puffs. Utz has the BEST organic grains pretzels.

    I LOVE skinnytaste.com! Everything that she makes is delicious and she accounts for all the calories and the nutritious info on there as well as the WW points if you follow that. Along the right hand side there is an index- if you just click the "snack recipes" it has a bunch. The links above are some of the ones I have made and enjoy.

    Half a cup of plain fat free greek yogurt with vanilla extract in it (and sometimes plain oats yummm) Or if Im craving mint chocolate chip ice cream Ill have plain fat free greek yogurt with peppermint extract and 1 tbsp dark chocolate chips.

    I also frequently have an apple with all natural peanut butter

    The other day I found really good rice cakes that are onl 35 calories at Trader Joes. I usually put 1 tbsp of almond butter and sprinkle some cinnamon on top.

    And I just found a recipe for clean fruit roll ups :-)http://outoftheboxfood.com/2011/09/04/foot-long-fruit-roll-up-recipe-update-frozen-berries/


    I love this site too

    My fav snack used to be string cheese and nuts. However, i've developed a nut allergy and can no longer enjoy nuts so I am paying close attn to this thread.
