I wanted to start a thread to see what types of healthy snacks everyone likes to bring to work/school/trips...or even something easy at home. I figured this could help some of us out who have a hard time thinking of what to bring with us to work. Such as ME!

:happy: I have the following to start off...


Frigo Light Cheese = 60 cals
Emeral natural almonds (100 calorie pack) = 100 cals
6 Ritz whole wheat crackers & 1oz mozz cheese = 170 cals
carrots & 1 TBSP hummus = 60 cals
apple & 1 TBSP PB = 160 cals
1/4 c. whole wheat Chex + 1 TBSP peanuts + 1 TBSP craisins = 172 cals
3/4 c. dry Special K fruit n' yogurt = 120 cals

and of course fruits...oranges, bananas, grapes, strawberries...etc.

    for my take along snacks i usually eat bananas, apples, or peaches with either walnuts, almonds, or pumpkin seeds. Or dry kashi cereal, or kashi bar. U can find all the nutritional value in the food search.

    hey linz...I was actually thinking of your post last week when I made this post!
    What is the difference between greek yogurt and regular yogurt? Taste differences? I've wanted to try it, but I haven't found any in "smaller" sizes!


    Nolachick- where do you get the Zone bars? I'm thinking I need something in the late afternoon to hold me over until after my workout....

    What kind of kashi cereal do you like? I have tried a few and haven't enjoyed the taste. Do you usually add fruit with the cereal to improve taste?

    Greek yogurt is a lot thicker than regular yogurt...kind of like sour cream. It has a lot more protein than regular yogurt as well. You can actually use it in recipes that call for sour cream.

    I really like the Fage Total 0% brand and then I add a tablespoon of honey.

    so do you ever eat it plain or do you typically add either honey or fruits and things?? and is greek yogurt organic yogurt?

    The zone perfect bars are available @ walmart in various flavors. This is the only one I have tried but I'm addicted. Tastes like a candy bar and does a great job at holding me over through my workouts.
    There are like $5 or $6 for 5 of 'em which is perfect for work :)

    Not all greek yogurt is organic. It's very thick and tart. If you're used to eating the sugar laden crap it'll be a shock the first time you eat it. I also like the Fage 0% but strawberry or blueberry because it's a bit sweeter and more palateble.

    I usually have:
    greek yogurt
    almonds
    carrots
    prunes
    left over quinoa or brown rice

    Apples (with 1 TBSP Peanut butter on a spoon if I'm really hungry)

    Clementines (cuties have 2 grams of fiber each)

    Cheerios - That's right everyone I eat dry cheerios out of a baggie. My coworkers always point out that their 5 year-olds do the same thing but I don't care they are yummy and good for you!

    Oooh, I do the same thing. I can't stand milk in my cereal so this is how I always eat my cereal. :bigsmile:

    Sunflower seeds, peanuts, and almonds
    Slim Fast snack bars (6 in a box)
    Apples (before I work out during lunch time)
    Slim Fast ready-to-drink protein shake (after I work out during lunch time)

    ***** at home is a little different since I don't tend to eat much when I'm at work. I guess it's because I am busy chewing gum, tons of water all day, and cups of black Chai tea.

    Blessings! :flowerforyou:

    I LOVE Kashi Go Lean Crunch!! It's super yummy and IMHO better than the other Kashi cereals I've tried.
