What's your favorite healthy snack?

[Tricia K.]

Mine is cubed colby jack cheese.

My favorite not-so-healthy snack is popcorn! :Dancing_nerd:

[paula]

At Walmart I found a NEW favorite delish snack (new for me)!
Good Sense brand (located near the produce area - most people use this on salads) Sesame Oat bran sticks. About an inch long, almost like a mini cracker.
Since Im not really keeping up with the calories/fat/protien/fiber stuff -0 someone else may read the ingred list and gawk. But I like 'em and they go down easy... and come out even better *winks*.

I LOVE the cheese cube too, Tricia!

["Just" Paul]

Jello sugar-free pudding cups.

Only 60 calories... double chocolate is awesome!

[PhotoNut]

Pop Secret 100 calorie Snack Bags - Kettle Corn MMMmmm :)

[HeatherGurl]

I am ALL about the cubed cheese.

[Vegaswildflower]

is avacado heathy, its my fave snack

[EmileeKaye]

The 100 calorie bag popcorn is a fave of mine!!

Not really a snack, but a whole meal, I like making healthy wraps at home. I cut them in half and eat one half then later eat the other.

[Diane]

I love a whole handful of raw nuts, especially almonds. They stop right at my band & keep me full for a long time. I can't eat or drink for a good hour or so after just one handful. Good fiber too.

[NotSoFunny]

I am a freak about tuna lately. An chicken wings. I got a bag of frozen chicken wings at the grocery store, and i brush them with orange juice and broil them, then freeze them already cooked. When I want one i take it out of the freezer, pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds on each side, an i am good to go. they take a long time for me to eat too cause you can't just strip a wing.

[DonnaB]

Cottage cheese - I know, boring! But I love it.

Watermelon, cantaloup, black plums - mmmmmmmm.

[PhotoNut]

We interrupt this thread for a short entertainment break:

Lookie, lookie! It's DonnaB!
Eating cottage cheese I see.
What's that? Look there! I do declare!
It's her face she's decided to share!

*waves* Hiyas pal 'o mine. Nice to SEE ya! *hugs*

We now return to our regularly scheduled thread about healthy snacks.

[Jachut]

I love popcorn, but I just buy the bags of popping corn and airpop it either in the microwave or the $20 popcorn popper machine thingie we have when I can be bothered digging it out. No oil or butter, it just airpops and then maybe a sprinkling of salt. That's healthy.

Or not I guess if you're a low carb eater, which I most definitely am not!

Fresh fruit, god I'd KILL for a banana, they're still $12 a kilo here, due to the cyclones a year or two back up in QLD. We're heading up to Byron Bay next week and we're visiting Coffs Harbour, home of the Big Banana, lol, for a pig out!

[Idahobeauty]

Ok, I can see that we are all going to have to pool our resources and get a care package of banannas sent to Jachut

[mrs_christy]

My favoite healthy snack is fruit, or yogurt.

[AnnDe]

I like to make a protein drink.. it's just like a smoothie. I use 30 grams of powder vanilla protein with 2 oz of hot water. Put in blender with 1/2 frozen banana and 5 frozen strawberries & 6 ice cubes Blend away !:bananapowerslide: Oh yummy!!!!

[wavydaby]

Ricotta cheese and organic pizza sauce. Tablespoon or so of each. I call it fakesanga

[JoyceGA]

It was so hot this summer!!

I gave up ice cream last spring, so I would not have made it through summer without my frozen Crystal Light pops. My favorite was the pineapple/orange followed by tea.

[Maryb]

Tropical flavored sugar free popsicles

[503-250]

Ice pops...all of em...But I highly reccomend Popsicle Brand Lifesaver ice pops. sugar free and 20cals.

[A1ikou]

I'm with Funny...tuna. I am sure I'm growing gills?

[lins12]

My morning drink--1/2 of a frap light (50 calories), water,splenda and vanilla protein (110 calories) or soy crips (bbq style) YUMMY!!

[Barb]

I love a whole handful of raw nuts, especially almonds. They stop right at my band & keep me full for a long time. I can't eat or drink for a good hour or so after just one handful. Good fiber too.

We can eat nuts????????:dizzy:

[Tricia K.]

We can eat nuts????????:dizzy:You bet we can! I eat them quite often.

[Morsaille]

Salmon & sprouts on pita wedges. It may be a little prissy, but it feels healthier than tuna. I like to cook the fresh stuff, but just use canned out of season with a little dressing and onion.

I keep pitas in the freezer and toast them a half at a time. For some reason the prep makes the snack more fulfilling.

[Jill]

I wish I could eat Tuna :( My band says a very clear NO! even with a ton of light mayo in it :(

On my dining table I have a huge basket of those 100 calorie snack bags. Ritz, Doritos, Nabisco products. Those things are the almighty ruler of my universe. When I get the munchies, I grab one. It works well for me, some days I have one - some days I have 3 spread out over the day - and some days, I forget they're there :)

Also for snacking: yogurt, protein bars, fat free croutons.

[Telly]

Sunkiss Albacore Tuna - 6oz can
Light Dannon Strawberry/Banana Yogurt Drinks

These are my MUST HAVE's!

It used to be peanut butter but someone helped me kick that fattening habit to the curb.

[Telly]

You bet we can! I eat them quite often.

ROFLMAO! I'll bet you do!:madgrin:

["Just" Paul]

ROFLMAO! I'll bet you do!:madgrin:


Damn.

You beat me to that one.:rapture:

[Tricia K.]

ROFLMAO! I'll bet you do!:madgrin:

[~Melissa~]

I would have to go with Paul on this one, the jello sugar free pudding is wonderful! I like them all, my favorite is the creamy carmel... might be good with a handful of NUTS too...LMAO!

[jqpublic]

Kashi go lean Cereal, Yoplait light fat free yogurt.fresh fruits.

[paula]

..have I mentioned McDonalds shakes lately?
preferably chocolate.

[Chickie]

Kiwi fruit ((drools)) or passionfruit. Or banana's, or mangos. Or apple slices (with a slice of good cheese) And toasted turkish bread (yeah, I know) with a tin of buttered mushrooms and a small tin of tuna on top ((drooling on the keyboard))

[MoOrLess]

ok...I wasn't going to say mine (since I'm not banded) but after McDonald's shakes - well here goes lol

peanut butter (just a little Telly) and fat-free jelly on rice cakes! yum - two are a meal, one is a snack and they keep me satisfied for a really long time and the jelly helps them not stick to the roof of my mouth forever

or peanut butter and apple cut up - my very favorite and so portable!

[Nana~]

My Favorite Non-Healthy snack as of late has been Cheeto's the small crunchy ones.

Healthy Snack I like no LOVE Greek Salads with lots of FETA CHEESE! :)

Nana~

[BigGirlPantiez]

- parmesean crisps that I make in the oven!!
- phyllo feta popovers

[Kathy473]

Love the Special K Snack Bites and cereal bars! SF Jell-0 and pudding, SF popsicles, sliced cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt.:happy:

["Just" Paul]

Kashi go lean Cereal, Yoplait light fat free yogurt.fresh fruits.

Just tried the Kashi the other day. Yummy.

I have trouble eating cereal in milk... funny i can eat it dry, but not in milk. The Kashi is a great crunchy snack.

Thanks for the tip JQ!
