Snack

benicode · September 2015

What kind of healthy snacks do you like to have? I tend to get hungry, especially later in the evening, and if I do have a snack like to make it healthy.

Cottage cheese and pineapple
String cheese
Cereal
Dove bite size chocolate
Jello pudding

I get snacky at night too!

Apple slices & almond butter

skilouise · September 2015

In the evening I'll sometimes have a tablespoon or so of peanut butter. It satisfies my craving for something sweetish, but doesn't have much sugar (as long as you buy the full fat kind).

During the day I like dry roasted almonds, Babybell cheese, Greek yogurt, or a banana.

I love to have fruit. Grapes, strawberries, kiwi, pineapple, banana, etc. Yummy, yummy!

Because I used to babysit and always think of this song when talking about fruit...

MH eats Peanut butter by the spoonful - but a lot of it. My SD and I make fun, he can go through a large jar in a week. I'll buy it and go to make a sandwich a few days later and it's almost gone.

I like popcorn. Homemade, with salt, hold the butter.

Linsbins · September 2015

Fudgesicles if I need dessert. Watermelon, cheese, and especially almonds. They fill me up quickly, especially if I drink water when I eat them. I also recently discovered garlic roasted almonds...soooooo good.

ETA- carrots and hummus is my go to snack at work. I can eat just a couple or a bunch.

I do love cheese, I snack on almonds sometimes too, and hummus & veggies. I also love pickles.

I have not tried almond butter @Litterateur but I should

LadyMillil · September 2015

Greek yogurt with a piece of dark chocolate and nuts; a spoonful of homemade ice cream; A small homemade cookie or small piece of a loaf; 100 calorie bag of chips; Lightly buttered single serving bag of popcorn ; Berries; Apple with peanut butter; Trail mix ; Dried fruit

Funkymooncow · September 2015

Small bowl of non sugary cereal is my favourite

I also really like avocado on toast at the moment !

sarah0985 · September 2015

Plain yogurt with a teaspoon of honey mixed in! Or 85% dark chocolate!

calfherder · September 2015

I like apple slices with peanut butter. Also jerky. Granola bars if I don't have time or will be eating and driving.

MEA0320 · September 2015

I like to stick with fruit as a late snack - it's sweet, but at the same time more on the healthy side compared to chocolate chip cookies or chocolate ice cream.

Typically during the day I like to snack on nuts, trail mix, and granola bars. Occassionally, I'll have a brownie or cupcake but that's just because they're at the office.

ShallowSeas · September 2015

I keep grapes in the fridge at all times for my late night snack. I'm always hungry around 10:30pm and I'm always craving something sweet, so red grapes are perfect for me.

katie1782 · September 2015

Apple, orange, dried fruit, pistachios, 1/2 cucumber, grape tomatoes, granola w/ almond milk, triscuits, string cheese, air popped popcorn, frozen fruit bars, banana & almond milk smoothie, or a cup of tea are my go to snacks during the day or at night. I try to mix it up so I don't get sick of something because I usually will eat some combo of the above for lunch as well!

joleri23 · September 2015

Blue Diamond Nut Thins and a cheese stick - better for you than crackers but taste just as good!

English muffin pizza, or English muffin with jam

Cherries or strawberries and dark chocolate

Kashi with almond milk

Or... all the junk food I eat, let's be real.

housewifehobbyist · September 2015

I'm obsessed with this dip and apple slices/bananas. I usually end up making it twice a week and basically inhaling it.

crdo · September 2015

Y'all are making me hungry.

little_bren · September 2015

Cheese stick
Sliced peppers
Sliced cucumbers
Fruit
Cereal
Ants on a log

Almonds

ETA almonds yum!

jhems776 · September 2015

I'm so hungry today, maybe some of your suggestions will be in the cafe-ish vending machine downstairs. This post is exactly what I need, I was going to get something really bad.

When I'm good:

100 cal popcorn bag

carrots and hummus

50 cal string cheese

a can of green beans with garlic salt (yep all me and all in one sitting)

styler91 · September 2015

I make Kale Chips when I get snacky. I LOVE salt and vinegar, as well as BBQ flavored.

sldp123 · September 2015

For something crunchy/salty, air-popped popcorn.

For dessert type snacks, I buy the mini versions of ice cream bars/cones like Lil Drumsticks or those Blue Bunny mini cones, or mini Snickers ice cream bars. They satisfy my ice cream craving but are only around 100-140 calories.

I've been taking my vitamin at night and I like to eat something with it, so I will make one slice of toast with some peanut butter.

ibabyloveb87 · September 2015

Apples with peanut butter. Peanuts. Granola bars. 100 cal popcorn bags. Or if I feel like I need a treat at work, I will eat a handful goldfish.

ETA: because I didn't need to be repetative.

MNturnsVA · September 2015

I'm usually satisfied after dinner so don't need a snack per say, but I will have a glass of chocolate milk almost every night. Satisfies my chocolate cravings.

bpfeiff84 · September 2015

I love Kind Bars (especially the new sea salt caramel flavor), cottage cheese, fresh raw tomatoes from my garden with some salt and pepper, or if I really need some chocolate I will have a section of a chuauo dark chocolate triple nut bar.

benicode · September 2015

@housewifehobbyist I'll have to try that! I wonder if MH will like it....he LOVES peanut butter but HATES yogurt....I would think the peanut butter taste would over power the yogurt taste though...?

benicode · September 2015

@MNturnsVA yes my whole family loves their chocolate milk.

benicode · September 2015

bpfeiff84 I love fresh tomatoes with salt!

I'm going to have to bookmark this thread so the next time I'm craving a late night snack and wanting to go to the dark side, I can look here and get inspired for something healthy!

Funkymooncow · September 2015

For those of you who love peanut butter, try stirring it into porridge - delicious

housewifehobbyist · September 2015

@benicode It's very peanutbutter, but also a little tangy. I would just use a sweeter yogurt (like Yoplait) and play with the ratios to get it right for him.

Sometimes I add mini chocolate or caramel chips too, but obviously less healthy that way!

LizM61409 · September 2015

I'm jealous of all the almond snacks... I'm allergic :-/ Thank goodness it's not all the nuts, just the healthiest one

My go to is the welches individual bags of fruit snacks- 80 calories each and a little sweet

LizaKate1213 · September 2015

I pretty much live on apples with peanut butter. I love my vegan vanilla protein powder too and will make shakes with cocoa powder and coconut milk if I am craving chocolate. I also make a chocolate pudding - 1 avocado, 1tbs cocoa powder, coconut milk and honey to sweeten. Can add peanut butter or a banana for flavor. Blend it all until smooth. Delicious and rich but without any guilt!

hboaz · September 2015

You are all so healthy and I am over here eating skittles and peanut m&m's from the quarter machines at my work....whoops.

ttcimpls · September 2015

@benicode You are missing out with the almond butter. It's sooooo good!

For me it's mainly trail mix and seaweed chips with hummus.

KarenBeth714 · September 2015

frozen banana pieces with peanut butter, greek yogurt and honey, larabars all the time ( when I'm prepared and being healthy!!)
When not prepared I'll snack on whatever we have.. usually sweet things, lol!

ska8471 · September 2015

I love hummus and veggies; fills you up and pretty good for you. You can get convenient little individual sized portions of hummus at the grocery store or Costco or wherever really!

I try not to go crazy with too much fruit in a day; although it's healthier than junk food, it still has lots of natural sugars and calories.

Jenners24 · September 2015

Apple with peanut butter, air-popped popcorn, Fiber One bars, bananas, oranges, string cheese with a few pieces of turkey wrapped around it, and if I'm really hungry I'll have a bowl of cereal!

I just didn't include all the unhealthy things I love more

My trainer says no more snacking!!

sorarose · September 2015

I've really gotten into corn. About 160 calories worth is actually pretty filling and gives me the sweetness I'm looking for.
