What are your go-to snacks these days? Personally, I am hungry 24/7. I never had such intense hunger during pregnancy and I seriously can't eat another granola bar, haha.
I need inspiration. I portioned out trail mix in tiny containers and I eat a 1/2 cup of yogart/day. I also make breakfast burritos with bell peppers/feta/eggs. I feel like I should have gained 20 lbs by now grazing all day long. Thank God BF burns calories.
Suggestions for filling snacks? What can you not live without?

@hailees I need to know more about this baked oatmeal!

Turkey meatballs: these can also be frozen! I usually add more spices and garlic, use fresh cilantro/parsley when possible, and do not use marinara sauce. Super yummy, especially if you get the Italian pre seasoned ground turkey (it's high in sodium so I usually use 1lb of the pre seasoned and 1lb plain).

I also remembered a favorite quick snack, lunch meat with cheese! Basically lots and lots and lots of protein with healthy carbs and fruits/veggies.
Happy eats
And forget all your healthy snacks, pass me the girl scout cookies! Haha
FYI check the calorie count on peanut butter ones before you chow down. I realised one was 800 calories after eating...

Cheese- i can't have it anymore obviously but it's packed with calcium protien and fat
Yogurt- same deal! Except I'll be making a trip for yogurt made with almond and coconut milk
Nuts
Beans
Whole grains- you can make some brown rice or qouinoa well LO is sleeping and add mix ins in a flash. Sweet or savory! Its a great vehicle for leftovers.
Tuna- also can be made ahead if you like tuna sandwiches. I'm not crazy about the stuff, but with a little squeeze of lemon on a salad its not terrible
Hard boiled eggs
bowls of chips
m&ms
oreos
