    I have many snacks that I make, but my favorite is Kale chips with Hummus. Yum!

    I had Kashi Heart to Heart roasted garlic crakers with tuna and fresh organic juice from my juicer. I am full and there is no guilt after that meal.

    I always choose a healthy snack, such as baked chips with hummus or lowfat yogurt with a Kashi cookie, or even just a Kashi TLC bar with a little almond butter and some fruit. I like to mix it up!

    I too have a heavy sweet tooth. I have found that watermelon is a wonderful craving buster. It is sweet, juicy, crunchy and very good for you! Frozen grapes (both the green and red ones) are also very good. Above all though, if you want that piece of chocolate, have it (but make it count). Buy a single piece of really good chocolate and don’t feel guilty about it! I work part-time for a nutritionist and the one thing she ALWAYS tells me is: There are no inherently “bad” foods- but there are foods that are better fuel choices for your body than others. Just be aware of portion sizes and daily nutrition requirements.

    I’m just Curious. How many Calories should be in a snack? Also How many snacks should a person have in a day?

    Try making some chocolate ice cream using a can of organic coconut milk, a few tbsp of cocoa powder, and a few tbsp of agave nectar. Blend them up well in your blender and either freeze in an ice-cream maker or in a bowl until it’s just soft (or do like my mom and freeze it in ice-cube trays and take out just 4-5 cubes for a snack!). This should satisfy your chocolate and ice cream cravings with NO nasties in it!

    As for my healthy snacks, I like to do a bit of sprouted granola, lots of strawberries, and soymilk – with a cup of warm tea. I also like to do a crunchy apple with a bit of peanut butter and some raisins. Yummy!!!

    A few years ago I switched to whole grains. I only eat snack foods with 3g of fiber or more. They taste great and make me feel wonderful. Herr’s has whole grain pretzel sticks which are great and 4g fiber per serving!

    I had a bowl of Kashi granola with milk today at work. And I’ve got Kashi granola bars in my desk too for when I feel a need to snack. It helps to have something yummy than will stick with you.

    Today I had oatmeal sweenetend with honey for breakfast, and an apple as a snack before classes. It helps you concentrate better, especially knowing you had something healthy and filling.

    Help! Whenever I make a committment to not eat sweets, the sweets seem sweeter, chocolate much more chocolatier, all of it more appealing. I committed yesterday and I ate worse yesterday than I’ve eaten in a long time! Any advice?

    Today is the first day of me making healthy food choices rather than dieting. I realize I must want to do this and it should come naturally rather than forced. IF I feel like falling off the wagon so to speak I’m hoping that this site will help remind me that I want a healthy body!!

    This afternoon I really wanted chocolate! Instead I mixed blueberries with chopped fresh apple. Now I have no sweet craving and I feel good for not eating the chocolate.

    I need help! I’m an addicted binge snacker. I do a 30 minute work-out video every morning and some basic crunches, push-ups, squats, toe touches and knee lifts every night, but almost every night when no one’s watching i eat almost everything in sight. I’m 5’1” and way around 115 pounds. i feel huge. any advice?

    Yesterday around snack time, while my wife and in-laws were having cake, I made my own trail mix: in a box of raisin that was almost empty I added almonds, walnuts, cranberries, and pretzels…closed the lid and shook…then I had myself a fairly healthy snack

    Yesterday for the afternoon I ate some yogurt and grapes, at the movies I had a bag of dried fruit instead of candy, and for late evening I had a bowl of Kashi Vive cereal with soy milk.

    Today for an afternoon snack I had grapes and yogurt, at the movie theater I had a bag of dried fruit and unsalted/unbuttered popcorn, and just a little while ago for late night I had a bowl of Kashi Vive with soy milk. I think I have the healthy snack thing down.

    ntural peanut butter on wholegrain + flaxseed bread worked for me: carb + good fat + protein; the balance thing is what works for me
