What are your favorite healthy snacks you reach for instead of the bag of chips or cookies? Let's trade ideas..
My favorites?
1 cup of plain nonfat yogurt with organic agave nectar (it's a natural sweetener similar to honey) and pomegranate seeds. All from Trader Joes's.
OR
Raw carrot and celery sticks with 1 cup of lowfat Tzaziki dip (again, from Trader Joe's).
DH and I do 90% of our grocery shopping at Trader Joe's because they have so many healthy snacks and foods that are easy to find. In bigger supermarkets it's harder to find the healthy stuff.
What do you have when you go healthy?

Re: What are your favorite healthy snacks?
Im a VERY picky eater so this is ALWAYS hard for me. I dont usually do raw veggies unless it's at a party w/ dip , I hate yogurt (unless it's frozen or the whipped kind - in which that has way more sugar than the reg kind) - I do like fruit & will eat a lot of apples & bananas, plus I really love my apple cinnamon mini rice cakes.
I enjoy the WW frozen desserts & the slim fast breakfast bars - but I'm pretty sure eating fruit is still 'better' for me...lol

I am a picky eater too. I often do apples or baby carrots with a dip i make from low fat sour cream and Good Seasons Italian dressing mix. Microwave popcorn or pretzels satisfy my salt cravings. I take Edys Ice Cream and make little half cup servings or eat Jello Sugar Free Mousse for when I need a sweet tooth.

Plain green tea when I'm at home is basically my only in between meals thing when I'm really trying hard. When I'm at school it's fresh fruit or a 100 calorie pack.

I love the skinny cow ice cream bars and sandwiches too!!
I'm just going through a period where I'm trying to eat more 'pure food' and less of the packaged stuff. I use the packaged stuff as a back up, in case I don't have time to prepare anything.

Re: What are your favorite healthy snacks?
ooh and I LOVE any of the kashi bars for an 'on the go' kind of snack. My favorite flavors are honey almond flax, dark chocolate coconut, or dark chocolate cherry.
They are so good and have no additives or added sugar. I try to stock up on them because I'm on the run most of the time.

Re: What are your favorite healthy snacks?
I love white cheddar rice cakes with one of the laughing cow light cheese triangles spread on it...I eat salads for snacks all the time....low fat string cheese and ak-mak crackers too! I found the wheat thins flat bread crackers are really good as well..I have one of those iwth my string cheese after work and before the gym!
Plain oatmeal with cinnamon is good if I can fit the carbs in as well! Carrots, celery, peppers cucumbers...all are awesoem but if i sit with the bag of baby carrots I will eat them all and this is like eating a bag of pretzels! lol (which I can't even keep in my house!)
Fat Free Greek Yogurt is fabulous as well...high in protein, lower in carbs than regular yogurt and delicious!
I recommend vitamuffins, vitatops or the sugar free jello pudding snacks for something sweet!

Re: What are your favorite healthy snacks?
I love cold bean salads. I'll do either a Canellini and Kidney mix with chopped onion, EVOO, White Balsamic vinegar and oregano, or Chickpeas with the same mixture, lemon replacing the balsamic if I have it in the house. I love it for a snack or quick side...it's easy, delicious, healthy, and SO inexpensive!

Re: What are your favorite healthy snacks?
I love hummus. All types but especially garlic & greek olive. I like to dip all types of veggies into it.
Apples w/ reduced fat peanut butter.
Raw almonds, or raw cashews.
Fruit like blueberries. I like to mix a small ziploc w/ blueberries & almonds. Or frozen bananas.
Yogurt. I love to put the kids organic yogurt tubes in the freezer, tastes like ice-cream. I buy the natural strawberry one.
Peak protein granola.

Fresh fruit...anything in season really, but I love strawberries.
Carrots and hummus.
Wasa Light crackers...sometimes plain (they taste like rice crispies to me!), sometimes with a Laughing Cow cheese wedge.
Oh! And I forgot my favorite...100 Calorie Jello Pudding Cups. The swirl one...yum!
