What do you snack on?

Posted: Aug 18, 2012

I need stuff to snack on while I work. Sometimes if I'm working at night the crunching helps me stay awake. My last "bag" was cheetos. They were so good but then I remembered reading Dr. Andrew Wel said don't eat anything with oranger artifical color (cancerous). Tired of honey wheat prezels and chips. Going to buy some fruit. I also like dried apricots, but can't sit and eat dried apricots all in one night :-), so need some new snack ideas.

Thanks

Sometimes I'll even make a bowl of oatmeal with fruit and walnuts. Apples and peanut butter.

This is a great one for crunch, and healthy. (And I am - not one to care much for that.) SM

At Aldis they sell bags of little sweet peppers. Shaped like hot peppers but they taste like mild bell peppers. Red, yellow, orange color. Cut off the stem and slice apart long way. Then fill the cavity with Feta cheese. Make you fave vinegarette type dressing. Olive oil and red wine vinegar goes great with these. Dribble the dressing over the cheese and enjob. Keep a paper towel handy, the dressing kinda dribbles out (if you did it right, lol). You can use the same cheese, dressing when you hollow out the little grape tomatoes. Those are good but if ya want crunch, use the little sweet peppers.

Wedge an apple and a little peanut butter in a cup - for dipping.... yum. nm

I munch on Emerald almonds, either the cocoa powder covered or the cinnamon covered. No calorie bargain at 150 calories per ounce, but at least they're good for you.

I know you're tired of chips, but for others to see or if you want a change from potato chips: I also like the Special K chips, the Southwest Ranch (I think that's what flavor they are) are my favorite. They also have cheddar and sour cream and onion. Only 110 calories per ounce. They're not greasy or anything.

I will also cut an apple into wedges and place a little peanut butter on each wedge. Or slice cucumbers and dip them in ranch dressing.

Thanks everyone - I like everything everyone mentioned - bad cook

Love trisquits, feta cheese, hummus, yogurt, etc. Going to shop tonight. Thanks everyone for the ideas.

My favorite? Crisp fresh grapes in a bowl with Wheat Thins! - sm - NYMT

The combination of the sweetness of the grapes and the saltiness of the wheat thins is totally satisfying, and at least halfway healthy!

I'm sick of candy, chips and peanuts. I know of apples, grapes etc. I go online to look up healthy snacks and get the usual 3 pretzels wrapped in one piece of proscutto with a pretty toothpick sticking out of it (something like that), or they have a piece of weird bread topped with strawberries drizzled with some white stuff (probably yogurt)...blek! (though I do like yougurt and strawberries, but not into gourmet looking snacks. Looking for some different ideas, Not look ...

I just bought some of the new skinny cow chocolate snacks. They are deliciious by the way, although there are not many per serving. But its not the kind of snack you can open without everyone within 2 blocks knowing you are snacking. I wonder if that is the key to dieting and they somehow knew this :) ...
