I need snack ideas!!!

I just visited the vending machine for peanut M&M's. Yeah, they tasted good, but I need to not do this. Especially knowing that b-pics are in my future!

Any 'replacement' snack ideas (a la 100 calorie pudding cups... thats the first thing that came to mind lol)? I can eat carrots and celery till the cows come home, but it's not going to satisfy my sweet tooth. HELP!

Re: I need snack ideas!!!

I satisfy my sweet tooth with--

Jello mousse pudding (dark chocolate) with fat free whipped cream is delicious

Light and fit vanilla yogurt with cut up fresh strawberries

animal crackers

oranges and grapes

kashi go lean crunch bar

Re: I need snack ideas!!!

just throwing this out there.

1/2 cup of oatmeal is 150 calories. throw a little cinnamon in there and you're golden.

keeps you fuller wayyyyy longer than a pudding cup.

The Fage Yogurt had the 0% with Mix-Ins now.

I just bought the ones with honey, blueberry acai and strawberry. They're so yummy!

The one with honey had the most calories at 160, but no fat!

The other are between 100-120 calories.

Also, the fiber one bars are pretty filling.

Stuff with a lot of fiber is a pretty good way to go.

Re: I need snack ideas!!!

i find that the 100 calorie packs of cupcakes (it's 3 tiny cupcakes) are best for sweet-tooth purposes.

also low calorie ice creams are nice for when you're home.

not filling at all and you always want more anyhow, but they satisfy the cravings for the most part

Re: I need snack ideas!!!
these are awesome ideas :) thank you so much!

i LOVE kettle corn popcorn, so i might have to make my own mini bags to bring as a snack to work.

i'm not bad when i'm home - although i'm all about the skinny cow chocolate truffle bars as my ice cream alternative - it's when i'm at work and get bored and need to snack on something to keep the day moving.

eta: i've never had the fiber one bars... are they good?

I like them a lot and for a bar, they're pretty filling.

They have a chocolate-y one, strawberry and maybe others? I only know those 2.

i used to have them in the morning - in place of breakfast. definitely kept me full till about 1pm. and not too much rumbly-ness.

but once they were so yummy, so i had some more....uh ohhhhhhh

Love fiber one bars! I like to put my fiber one bars in a fiber one yogurt. Yum! My fav combos are chocolate bar/vanilla yogurt and pb bar/vanilla yogurt.
