Snacks...

I have a lot of people ask me what makes good snacks during the day.  I have SO many!  Where to start?

• I LOVE Banana/Nutella Wontons = 1 point+ each
• Every day I have rice cakes which are two for 1 point+  They aren't your typical rice cakes...see my earlier post for pictures.  I normally add to it 2 laughing cow cheese (1 on each) and cucumbers = 1 point+ or 1 snack pack of wholly guacamole and salsa (3 points+).  The guacamole really keeps me full longer.
• I also have fiber one brownies = 2 points + each (kinda small and no veggies involved, so I try not to do them to often)
• I also have 2 pieces of 97% fat free turkey deli slices with 1 tbsp each of garden veggie FF cream cheese and sometimes I throw in peppers = 4 points+
• Yogurt (any kind greek just beware of sugars) and special k bran buds (1/6 C is 1 point+)
• 8 oz of trop 50 OJ with 1 banana in the blender with crushed ice (1 point+)

I hope this helps in the snack department.  They are some of my favs :)  I am not a fan of processed food, so I try to stay away from prepackaged things or anything that is high in points for snack.  My night time snack I totally forgot!  I have 1/2 cup of FF Breyers chocolate ice cream with banana (3 points+).  I eat that EVERY NIGHT!  I totally recommend it...so yum!  If you have extra points left in your day add the brownie to it too for a 5 points+ snack.

Side note.  I have bonus points that I try and do at least 3x a week.  Do you use your bonus points?  I don't eat them ever, but I worked out today alot and i was STARVING.  I had popcorn (which I never eat) for a snack and it was 5 points+.  It was so NOT worth the points.  I was still hungry afterwards.  I went and had my wholly guacamole and I was STUFFED even up till dinner.  I agree with my leader that reds keep you full (ie tomatoes, red peppers, apples or strawberries) and avocados do it too.  I know they are points, but they are points that keep you full longer and process very well through your body.  My new thing in the AM for my egg, veggie and cheese sandwich I am adding wholly queso instead of cheese on my sandwich.  It is SO good and adds so much taste and it is made with cheese (I know processed) and veggies (that part is good)!  I am going to try and do how to work out at home tomorrow :)  Any snacks you have to share please do!
