You are way healthy! When I was pg, I snacked on those ranch rice cakes a lot. But my usual snacks are Doritos (bad, I know, but I LOVE Doritos). Luckily I don't get much time to snack at work teaching or else I'd never eat meals!

I have been eating Kashi bars, a piece of lowfat cheese and pretzels, cottage cheese, I'm working on a bag of cheerio's right now. I also like veggies and dip (lowfat/nonfat), grapes or occassionally cherries, fruit cups, given the chance a whole can of pineapple.
I snack on dried cranberries and cherries, pistachios, almonds, cubed cheese, crackers, sliced apples with peanut butter, raisins, honey nut cheerios ... not all at once

My snacking has changed since we foudn out that Brooke has food allergies. Since then, I like to snack on pretzels, oreos, fruit cups and multi-grain crackers. I am trying to remember the brand, townhouse I think.
Special K protein bars, sugar free popsicles (I am SO addicted to these), I like either ranch or cheddar cheese mini rice cakes. I also eat a lot of fresh fruit, usually strawberries, pineapple or watermelon.......I buy the fruit cups at Kroger even though they are kind of expensive.
We don't keep a lot of snacky stuff in the house because DH and I are both terrible when it comes to having a lot of self control.
Don;t get me wrong, I LOVE sweets. Almost too much. Thats why I never buy them. If I bought a bag of oreo's- they'd be gone in 3 days. I have no self control.
I cut up green bell peppers, carrots, celery, cucumbers and buy baby carrots and portion them for the week into baggies and eat with hummus.
Bowl of cereal, Babybel cheese, laughing cow cheese?with?pretzels or wheat thins, beef jerky, baked lays, Pirate's booty- from Trader Joe's, - go to Trader Joes, they have tons of awesome snacks!- their fresh salsa, hummus, cheeses, crackers and snacks. ?And right now, my Lemonades girl scout cookies
I like a lot of the same stuff you do so I guess that's not too helpful... I'll try to think of what I give the kids too since they're big snackers. We don't eat many "packaged" foods..
hummus with either slices of wheat pita or carrots & celery
apples & pb or celery & pb (almond butter is delish too if you don't like pb)
string cheese (sometimes w/ turkey pepperoni slices - depending on how much heartburn I'm willing to put up with
nuts (almonds or cashews) & dried fruit (raisins or craisins)
cucumber slices, carrots, or radishes & dip (i make homemade dip with lowfat sour cream and dill & garlic)
hard boiled eggs
lunch meat & cheese rolled together (ham or turkey slices with colby is my fav)
frozen grapes (super yummy in the summer)
vanilla yogurt with fruit cut up or granola sprinkled on it
pb or almond butter on graham crackers & a glass of milk
Now I feel like a piggy! I usually do those 100 calorie packs (oreos, wheat thins, etc.) because they have built in portion control. I need to start eating more veggies as snacks. I do love apples or bananas with peanut butter. Ummm....
Oh and sugar free jello pudding. Nothing I eat is overly heathy. Dang!

-babybel cheese (I buy the big thing of 20 at Sam's)
-yogurt- sometimes those Yoplait whips
-sugar free jello cups
-100 cal packs once in a while but they get old
-I also really like those Raspberry Struesel Oatmeal to Go bars... and for some reason I like them cold. I don't get it.
-Ritz Socials- they make a whole wheat cracker- and I'll usually have havarti cheese with them
-bananas/apples
-Apple chips- my newest discovery. YUM. The ones I had were 39 cals for the bag with no extra additives. That same company makes pear chips too, but I don't know who makes them.
-And as a treat I'll buy Baked Ruffles. YUM YUM YUM. The problem is I eat way too many when I buy a bag.
-Oh, and Skinny Cow has some ice cream cone things that are chocolatey and delicious.
my go to quick snacks are granola bars, oats and honey bars, apples, go gurts, a cup of broth, and apples. If I can sit down, i like fruit cups, regular yogurt, veggies and dip, or a salads. I don't really do chips, I prefer Pretzels and crackers.
I eat the weirdest snacks. I am the queen of eating a spoonful of peanut butter for a snack. I love crackers with cream cheese. I eat a lot of pita chips. I like honey-wheat pretzels dipped in Honey Dijon salad dressing. And lately I've been liking the toasted Ritz crackers they make now. I also am currently in love with these Sun-Rype Fruit Source mini bites -- they're like fruit leather but softer and in bite-size pieces.
I make my own trail mix: from Sams I get almonds and mixed dry fruit. I have a big storage container and mix that with dark chocolate M&Ms and banana chips. YUMMY!
yogurt mixed with low-fat granola or almonds
apple and peanut butter
hummus and carrots, celery or pretzel sticks
laughing cow cheese and crackers
I'm a cheese adict! I eat a lot of cheese and crackers
I also like to melt cheddar cheese on tortilla chips and sprinkle on sesame seeds
I am not much of a snacker anymore. That habit just went away on its own after DD arrived. If I do eat anything between meals, it is a piece of fresh fruit, handful of berries or nuts, or some fresh veggies. We always have fresh fruit and veggies cut up and ready to grab from the fridge. DH loves to have healthy snacks that are ready to eat. If I need something crunchy, I usually go for plain popcorn or pretzels.
Re: What snacks do you eat?
all of that sounds very yummy.
