What do you have when you need a yummy and healthy snack?

I''m crawling back on the weightloss bandwaggon and could do with some good ideas.

I like apple slices with a tiny little bit of cheese.

I like FiberOne bars but they sometimes give me, uhm, gastrointestinal discomfort.
Big Oranges!
Animal crackers, but not too often because I don''t need more carbs.
Sliced cucumbers and tomatos.
Dried cranberries mixed with nuts/seeds mix.
Sunsweet prunes.

I''m not really a raw veggies girl. I can only swallow them softer and warmer.

Bananas w/a little bit of natural pb (no sugar)
apples
a few almonds
cheese stick
carrot and celery stick w/hummus
air popped popcorn
pear
cherry tomatoes and broccoli
cucumber slices
orange

I personally like a little protein to go w/a carb. the protein keeps you full longer so like one cheese stick and an orange.

Dried mangoes! I really hope those are healthy

The best ones, if you can find them, are from the Philippines. I used to have a roommate in college who was from there and she would always bring me dried mangoes when she went home. They were amazing.

I don''t want to ruin the fun but they are usually really fully of sugar and have quite a few calories for a small piece.

They are so yummy though!

Oh darn. Figures though - I''m drawn to non-healthy foods.

In that case I take back the dried mango suggestion.

I am a big fan of fresh fruit though when I''m craving something healthier. Love grapes, love Asian pears if I can get them, and grapefruit.

Our store didn''t have peppadews. Would buying sweet peppers taste remotely the same?

Definitely different, but still yummy. I say try it and see what you think

I really wanted a bagel today--my boss was eating one and it looked so good.

I compromised with rice cakes and a little cream cheese--different but it got me through (and I had enough calories left to have chocolate with my lunch

)

It tasted good, but I had to scrape the seeds out of each one. Do you have to do that with peppedews?

I''ve never seen a raw peppadew - like bella, I always get mine in a deli alongside the olives (I''ve seen them at Whole Foods, Dominicks, and some specialty grocers) and they''re all ready to be stuffed with a bit of cheese!

-1/2 apple with a bit of peanut butter
-Air popped popcorn
-Celery (I don't actually eat the stuff raw (*shudder*) but my bf does)
-Tea w/honey or tea w/lots of soy milk
-Frozen organic fruit thrown into blender with Fage yogurt, flax seeds, and cacao

-My best trick when hungry is to drink a glass of water before deciding if I'm REALLY hungry enough to snack. :)
