| Eggs, smoked salmon, sushi (even the grocery store kind) |
| Half of a hard boiled egg, topped with mustard, a pickle slice, and wrapped with a narrow strip of proscuitto |
| A cup of chicken broth (soup?) with scallions, a few thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms, and tofu or a few frozen wontons if I feel like it. I just microwave it in a mug. It’s salty enough that it satiates the craving for a snack but actually has very few calories. |
Lol |
| I recently discovered flavored rice cakes and brown rice rolls. Also a game changer. Satisfies the crunchy snack craving but very little calories. You can eat like 3-4 of them at a time and its only like 200 calories or less. |
Going to have to try this! I was going to say, hard-boiled eggs (remove some of the yolk, but not obsessively) with Trader Joes garlic mustard aoili. So good. I also like string cheese and Babybels. Laughing Cow with a few pretzel thins or Bagel Chips. Sometimes I toss the latter in a mug of tomato soup and it's like a diet grilled cheese and tomato soup, the cheese melts a bit. I'll maybe try the PB Fit, but I don't love peanut butter. I do buy the PB Fit to mix with lowfat yogurt that I use to fill and freeze Kong toys for my dog. She is a fan.

My Instacart shopper brought that home when my fav peanut butter was out of stock and I've been ignoring it- what do you eat with it? |
add it to greek yogurt, smoothies and oatmeal. or add water and use as regular peanut butter. also like seaweed snacks |

My latest afternoon snack is the Cauliflower Egg Frittatas from Trader Joes. They are only 200 calories for 2 and have a good serving of protein and fiber. The cheese really hits the spot when I am craving something rich and salty. I put sriracha and a dollop of tzatziki on top. I eat this around 3:00 and am completely satisfied until dinner at 7:30.
Another random snack that really fills me up- I take 3 of those Deli Thins slices of cheese (Sargento) and spread with a layer of hummus. Wrap each slice around a green apple slice. Its the perfect blend of crunch, savory and sweet. Lastly, I have been really craving dessert each night and I have been eating half a pint of Halo Top. its about 160 calories and high in protein. Sometimes I had a little blob of peanut butter on top. I find that if I have this, I don't crave red wine or baked goods. (My husband is a big cookie fiend and he often bakes off a batch of chocolate chip cookies after dinner. I can never eat just one.) |
Mix in a small amount of water with it and stir until it thickens up - just like regular peanut butter. I eat it by itself or along side greek yogurt. Also spread it on rice cakes. But you could also spread on fruit, celery etc. |
| One protein bars, cheese sticks, apples+peanut butter, strawberry or peach greek yogurt, pretzel sticks, and mandarin oranges. |
| Hard boiled egg, cheese stick, hummus with mini peppers, and a small apple. |
Adding tzatziki or PB to foods really increases the calorie count. I wish it didn’t but FYI. |
Get the PB Fit. Tastes just like regular PB, its sooo good |
