If you snack throughout the day....
Meaning - snack for energy and workouts - not chips and ho hos
What kind of snacks do you take in?
I have almonds, some kind of energy bar (Luna, Raw Revolution, Clif), and/or fruit
I used to make little almond butter sandwiches on wheat crackers - I am thinking of doing that again
I am soooo sick of hummos. i need to take a break from it!!!
I am looking for more ideas. I don't eat dairy except for one fage yogurt a day, so I won't eat string cheese or anything like that, which I know is good for protein....
I need some new ideas!

Re: If you snack throughout the day....
Lately I've been making protein shakes for after the gym. I like to snack on a cup of cheerios. I LOVE oranges- thats another favorite of mine. Baby carrots too.

Re: If you snack throughout the day....
So glad you posted this because I've been drained mid-workout and realize I need to eat a better snack before the gym. I read that bananas are good to eat before working out.

Re: If you snack throughout the day....
I snack a lot - carrot chips, an apple a day, popcorn, chobani yogurt, banana, laughing cow and/or baby bell cheese.
If I'm home after the gym or something I'll take a 1/2 a whole wheat pita and spread 2 tsps of skim ricotta on it, a sprinkle of crushed walnuts or almonds (maybe 1 tbs worth) and drizzle the whole thing with honey. It's SO GOOD and filling. I got the idea from Martha Stewart Living and I believe it was a low cal snack idea.

Slice a banana (lengthwise), spread some almond butter, add some crushed walnuts and lightly sprinkle cinnamon  It's sooo good! I also dip apple slices in the almond butter too.

Re: If you snack throughout the day....
I just thought of one more thing. LOL. I make little zip lock baggies and fill it with raw almonds, walnuts, a few small pieces of dark chocolate and original beef jerky (from trader joes)
Definitely a great snack for after a workout or during your day!
