What's your healthy snack? (Page 2)

I'm loving clementines this time of year!!!

Also, low sodium string cheese, greek yogurt with granola, cottage cheese, rolled up turkey slices, and humus.

I as well do enjoy cottage cheese w/carrots or celery or whatever I have on hand. My food processor makes its so easy to make a garlic heavy hummus for any occasion. I always have enjoyed apples or most stone fruit w/peanut butter and my Boy Dog loves the smell of opening a jar of organic peanut butter. So he and I love peanut butter based snacks. My friend Amber asked me many moons ago if I would like ants on a log. I said yes and had no idea that she calls peanut butter on celery topped w/raisins Ants On A Log!!! Funny A? 

My other snacks are from Big Lots. I buy Cliff Bars when they are 50 cents each, pretzels stuffed w/peanut butter, and any nuts they have available as they are so much cheaper at Big Lots.

@ Lisa c, I BBQ sweet potatoes all the time. If I have room, I will cut them nickel length. For saving time I will slice them pretty thick and add a nice heat oil, rosemary, and dust lightly w/garlic salt. I then put them on the top rack while I BBQ whatever it is I am cooking at that time. And Lisa, your right, THEY ROCK!!!

Someone else mentioned string cheese. I havent had any string cheese in so long. Gr8 idea and I will be picking some up soon.

So to carry this healthy idea a little further and change topics....... What dish will you be bring to a friends, family, company,etc. party during the holidays???? Any ideas for me when I head to my brothers house this X-Mas that would be shared w/about 6-8 folks???? Again, healthy snacks before dinner is what I am asking. Thanx for your time and happy holidays.

Peace

That is exactly how I lost all my weight..

I love the sweet potato fries idea with the seasoning. I have kept them simple I need to change it up like this. I am going to try that tomorrow. I love sweet potatoes I just hate cutting them up.

My fav snack: cottage cheese, banana, dates and cinnamon. A bit of banana flavored yogurt makes it even better!

My NEW thing is baked or broiled grapes. Pop them in the oven (broil is SO much quicker) pull them out, let them cool a bit--they are SO good!

Sharyn,

I have a granola bar recipe. Have to dig it out. I'll post it here when I find. It was good. Bit of a pain to make, but really from scratch. Toasted the oats and everything.

On the snack question, sunflower seeds, apples with peanut butter, homemade trail mix (granola with banana chips, semi-sweet chocolate, plain peanuts, raisins.

Looking for the recipe!

I like to take a banana, drizzle with honey then sprinke with wheat germ. I also like to take a cellary stick and put cream cheese in the groove and sprinkle with cajun seasoning.

Sharyn,

posted Granola bar recipe in another thread. originally came to me from a cyclist I work with. not sure where he originally dug it up.

Good luck.

string cheese, yogurt, any fruit, frozen grapes are a favorite around here!, popcorn (air popped with spray butter and white cheddar powder), almonds, pretzels with mustard or hummus, guacamole and chips.  

I try to keep veggies cut up and ready to go on the fly - baby carrots, celery, green peppers, cukes are easy to take on the go.  

For a treat, I'm hooked on Fiber One brownies - 90 calories and yum!  It's a nice chocolate fix.

Anyone do a snack with quinoa?  I've been making a cold black bean and quinoa salad that I love, but need to branch out a little.
