Whats Your Favorite Snack???
I was curious to see what is your favorite snack? lol i need some ideas....I need a break from Beef Jerky (Krave Brand), and applesauce, or string cheese, etc.....O and the snack has to be something healthy, lol don't say Ice Cream, or a candy bar, etc..... So lets hear it people, your favorite snack is ___________!!!
I guess the appropriateness of some of these will depend on if you are pre-op or post-op:
Nuts - almonds, pecans, walnuts, macadamia nuts
Avocado
Raw veggies with Trader Joe's greek yogurt spinach/kale dip
Apple slices (1/4-1/2 an apple) with all natural peanut butter
Multi-grain Wasa cracker with all natural peanut butter
Old Wisconsin turkey sausage bites
Mini Babybel cheese (we call them "baby cheesus" at our house)
Sugar-free bread & butter pickles
Plain greek yogurt w/1 T. sugar free jam
Hard-boiled eggs
Oscar Mayer P3 protein packs (meat/cheese/nuts)
Egg bites or protein ice cream (recipes at theworldaccordingtoeggface.com)
Pepperoni "chips"
Sugar free popsicles
Sliced apples with almond butter.

I enjoy 1/3 of a Quest protein bar (I'm pre-op so take my ideas with a grain of a salt, I'm a newbie). The Quest Protein Bar has 21 grams of protein, 1 gram of sugar and 180 calories (high) but I only eat 1/3 of a bar at a time. They have tons of flavors but my favorite is Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough - now doesn't THAT sound healthy? You can buy them at GNC or Vitamin Shoppe.
I love to have a low fat cheese stick wrapped in prosciutto. Of course, that tends to be lunch rather than a snack.
