Healthy, SIMPLE, satisfying snacks???

BUMP for later! I LOVE THE LISTS:) Will end up taking this grocery shopping with me;)

but I'm much more interested in salty things. One thing I love is garbanzo beans (chick peas) roasted with garlic and a little bit of salt. They get crispy and brown on the outside and are still a little soft on the inside.

LOVE these! I use red cayenne pepper on mine!

veggies with a yogurt/cilantro dip (google for clean recipe :] )
watermelon chunks
spinach & arugula salad with sliced strawberries and nuts or seeds of your choice (light dressing or just lemon)
frozen dark berries heated up in the microwave
1/2 cup frozen peaches + 1 cup water in a saucepan (med-high heat) till the water softens the peaches and it reduces, add cinnamon and stevia for a yummy cobbler taste
egg whites with veggies and salsa
sliced raw almonds with any fruit
banana slices rolled in cocoa powder with coconut flakes on top
cottage cheese with blueberries and sweetener of your choice
hardboiled eggs and fruit/nuts
sliced red, yellow,green or orange peppers & hummus (or dip of your choice)

&the list goes on! definitely get creative with it

Seconding edamame for sure.

Other ideas: roasted seaweed with brown rice, healthy choice soup (1/2 can) with carrots, Kim's magic pops spread with nutella, apple slices with peanut butter, a smoothie made from frozen fruit (any kind!) and water (plus low fat yogurt if you want it thicker/richer)

Have to try that!

I haven't tried this before (actually put some bananas in the freezer today for precisely this purpose!) but I heard on here that if you freeze a banana then blend it in the blender it tastes just like soft serve ice-cream but is way less calories/fat/bad stuff-hope that helps, I'm a guilty snacker myself!

Guacamole-hummus
Ingredients:
• 1 avocado, peeled and pitted
• 1 or 2 Chile (optional)
• 1 (15 oz.) can of chickpeas, drained
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1/4 cup chopped red onion
• 3 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
• 2 Tbsp. tahini (optional)
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1 tsp. cumin
• 1/4 tsp. salt (more or less to taste)
Method:
Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Add in a few extra tablespoons of water to thin out the consistency if you’d like.

Another great banana treat is: cut banana in half. If you wish put the stick in the "cut" end. Roll the banana in ground cinnamon until covered. Put in the freezer for a couple hours. Great treat.

This is my go to!

Will have to try this! Bump

For the banana "soft serve" - you could add a bit of honey, cinnamon, nutmeg or cocoa powder for a more decadent treat. Puree some nuts or nut butter with it too if you like.

There are lots!! ( I saw you're allergic to nuts, so here's a few of my other favorites!! )

-- Greek yogurt mixed with fruit & chia seeds, or granola

-- watermelon, cherries, blueberries

-- carrots / bell peppers / hummus

-- protein shakes

If you REALLY actually love to sit and "snack" (I'm guilty of it sometimes!!) I LOVE veggie straws / chips! There's a brand called Fresh Finds that I get at Big Lots (of all places!) the veggies straws are super good and satisfy that need to "sit and snack"

My recent fav is Multigrain Light Wasa crackers (20 cal each) with a spread of hummus, or thin slice of cheese. SO GOOD!

Frozen bananas

Just yesterday I made a batch of hummus (search allrecipes.com for hummus, mine was the curried hummus, also the smoky chipotle is SUPER delicious) and did the math to see what what a reasonable portion. I divided it into 6 portions and went ahead and put them into small containers. I cut up 2 whole bell peppers, bagged them, and threw them back in the drawer. It maybe took 15 minutes but I have 6 snacks ready to take when I am otherwise without time.
