Good snack choices ?
For some of you that are vets at this, what are some of the good choices you have made when you needed a snack? I am almost a year out and I can feel some of those old cravings sometimes, so I like to have good alternatives at home when the craving**** any suggestions? Thanks....

My husband loves the Salt and Vinegar Blue Diamond Almonds. They absolutely satisfy his salty tooth. :) Just 10 and he's all set!

The butter toffee flavored almonds are delicious!

Little meatballs are my favorite. I looked online and found some awesome Asian meatballs made with soy sauce, water chestnuts and ginger. Just google Meatballs and you will find a number of different recipes. Usually, one or two will take care of my hunger. I make they with a melon baller, so they are tiny. YUM! I also like string cheese, left-overs, 1/3 of a protein bar, low sodium ham or turkey, a few shrimp. I keep my shrimp in the freezer and run them under cold water to thaw when I want a few. It only takes a few minutes. I keep veggies around for a quick filler, too. I love a really small salad with one baby portabella mushroom and a sprinkle of grated cheese. I'm weird because I can eat salad w/o dressing. Just enough to kill the hunger.
I try to make sure all of my snacks have a combination of protein, carbs, and a little fat (keeps my blood sugar under control), so sometimes I have to combine two items to accomplish that.
My usual snacks are cheese (alone or with some whole grain crackers), Greek yogurt, almonds or cashews, microwaved turkey pepperoni, a small amount of fruit, a deli meat and cheese roll-up, or some low fat meatballs (homemade).
If I need something salty and crunchy I usually go for some popcorn with very limited butter.
