I’m a snacker. I get hungry! I prefer to eat smaller meals throughout the day instead of 3 “square” meals. But I have requirements of my snack food. I can’t survive on pre-packaged snacks! No no. If I’m going to have a snack, it needs to be healthy, and it needs to be tasty! Normally, for my snacks, I try to eat something that’s between 150-200 calories. Has at least 3g of fiber and at least 5g of protein. If it doesn’t have some fiber & protein, then I know I’ll just end up snacking again, so it’s gotta have some substance! Here are some of my recent snack superstars:
Banana “Ice Cream“ – It tastes indulgent, and fills me up, all for ~200 calories!
Fake Baked Apples You’ll think you’re digging into warm apple pie!
Kashi Heart to Heart Cereal – crunchy, munchy, and not too sweet
Amy’s Tamale Pie- Don’t be fooled, this super filling pie is only 150 calories, and is packed with 5g of protein and 4g of fiber!
And my newest favorite to add to the mix: Spiced Apple Pie Chips, thanks to Angela @ Oh She Glows
Check out these lovely snackers! They’re an interesting mix of chewy and crunchy. A little sprinkle of brown sugar and cinnamon. Perfect!
What are some of your favorite snacks?
