Healthy Snacks
Anyone have any good ideas of healthy snacks I can leave in my desk? I bring fruit and veggies to snack on but if I run out I'm stuck with nothing (well, but what the vending machine has to offer  ). So other than oatmeal, granola bars and trail mix any other ideas? TIA!

Re: Healthy Snacks
Nope...no advice. I was sitting here starving a few minutes ago..and they had some sort of party and this lady (whom I've never met or saw) came down the hallway offering up extra cake....YUMMY

Re: Healthy Snacks
I ate a lot of goldfish crackers during this pregnancy. Not exactly healthy, but probably better than all the nachos I ate too.

Re: Healthy Snacks
If you have a Trader Joe's near you they have a lot of great stuff. They have soy tortilla chips that have flax seed,high in fiber and they taste great

Re: Healthy Snacks
well since my idea of a healthy snack is a bag of doritos and a snickers bar (yes those were my snacks today) I probably should refrain from answering this question 
I TRY to eat healthy, really I do - but then I get sidetracked when the snack attacks hit me !!!!

Re: Healthy Snacks
I just bought the 100 calorie snack packs with stuff lower in sugar at Costco. There was also some soy crisp thing and the ones you see on TV.
It was the first time in weeks I didn't get hypoglycemic and I ate less calories than I normally do without the regular snacks! 
I also got the BellyBars - very filling.

Re: Healthy Snacks
How about the Healthy Mom Ensure bars and shake. I haven't tried them yet but I would like to. I also remember hearing about mommy to go bars.

I was going to suggest Luna Bars
I miss them so much. Since I got preggo they have messed up my blood sugars and I can't take them

Re: Healthy Snacks
I like trail mix with the m&m's in it so there is a little bit of sweetness to balance out the nuts, etc. I buy it at costco.

Re: Healthy Snacks
I have found that its fun to mix dipping sauces for veggies and eat them with chopped up cucumber, carrots, peppers, etc....one of my favs is fat free sour cream with hidden vally ranch seasoning! (I also use salad dressings or my on concoctions of things)

Re: Healthy Snacks
Well I went to the store tonight. I bought my favorite nuts - mixed them all together and made my own trail mix. Bought graham crackers, granola bars and individual bags of low-fat popcorn. That should hold me over for about a week. Thanks for all the suggestions, I have a lot of food shopping to do this weekend!!!!

Re: Healthy Snacks
I am sorry, but can someone please remind me what healthy means again?
I think I may be confused.
