Your Favorite Snacks?

[Jill]

What are some of your favorite snack foods?

Some of my favorites are:

• Apple Slices (salted) and Peanut Butter
  
• Dry Well Done Dry Toast Pieces to Dip in Blue Cheese Dressing (low fat, usually ... like that makes it health food!)
  
• Almonds (especially Blue Diamond Wasabi & Soy or Smoked)
  
• Salted, Shelled Sunflower Seeds
  
• Pretzels
  
• Wheat Thins
  
• White grapes
  
• Very ripe bananas
  
• 2% Wrapped Cheese Slices
  

I think the long holiday weekend gave me too much time to contemplate snacking! I feel like I could go for all of the above about now

What about you? What are your favorite snack foods?

[KanoasDestiny]

Chips are my favorite, but I try to limit how often I eat them. I also like smoked almonds, pistachios, toffee covered peanuts, ranch flavored sunflower seeds, club crackers, and teriyaki beef jerky. I definately have more of a 'salt tooth' than a 'sweet tooth'. :/

 

[REO]

I don't get to snack very often, but if I do, I like

Salted nuts

bananas dipped in low fat strawberry yogurt

I have to have my popcorn every night. I cook it the old-fashioned way, on the stove, in a pot, with olive oil. Much healthier than that microwaved crap in a bag

. I usually drizzle it with olive oil and sprinkle cumin, curry, and garlic. Yeah, my breath is fantastic after that lol

 

[Riverrose28]

SNACKS OH MY! I'm so fluffy now I don't need any to get more fluffy! I eat my meals on a saucer so I limit my portions, BUT! I do so love a hershy bar every once in a while. Potato chips are a sin, but somtimes I can't resist. Once in a while I like to get out a cheeseball & ritz crackers usually during football season or salsa & corn chips. I make my own salsa so it's healthy.

 

[Riverrose28]

Would you consider beer a snack! Sometimes I really appreciate a nice cold beer, it's full of calories but oh so good.

 

[Sonya]

I am not much of a sweets person....chips/cheese are my fav...tortilla chips with spicy jalepeno cheese sauce...yum. I like different types of dips with chips....and beef jerky, meat sticks, etc...I also love flavored almonds...I think they are called jalepeno chipolte also made by blue diamond. I make this buffalo chicken dip with cream cheese, oh its heaven! I am hungry now!

Jill, your snack choices are actually pretty healthy.

Oh yes...beer is a snack!

 

[Jill]

Oh no thanks on the beer (yuck!) I can't stand it (but like beer bread!). Vodka martinis / cocktails on the other hand... I maybe like those too much sometimes

ESPECIALLY over how my mom used to make it. I would bet she made it for 10 years this way. She doesn't eat it a lot and one day I was over helping Mom / Dad with something and she decided to make popcorn. She puts it in with the plastic bag on it. I told her she forgot to take it off and she says you're supposed to make it that way! I got the box and showed her. Apparently the pastic bag sort of crumbles or something. I don't know... but I don't imagine that is at all healthy. Hopefully the paper bag kept most of the bad plastic toxic crud out over the years!!!

LOL! Matt! I have popcorn too.......The 100 calorie "crap in a bag." But sprinkling with seasoning is something I have never done. Will try it...... I'll be brushing my teeth and tongue!

 

[lucky seven]

Popcorn, ripple chips, tootsiroll pops and m%m's. water, gingerale or diet pepsi. ice cream and strawberry yogurt, animal crackers.

Mmmmm! I like your list, except the gingerale.

 

[Field-of-Dreams]

Potato chips, preferably salt and vinegar!

Pistachios

Cheese and spicy mustard

Olives and pickles

Popcorn with "shaker cheese" and butter on it.

Chips and salsa

Beef jerky/Slim Jims

Lunch herring/pickled herring

Cream cheese poppers

Basically anything that's bad for you.....

 

[sfmini]

Brie cheese on garlic wheat thins, Chobani yogurt, Concord grapes, popcorn with the ranch flavored seasoning, Fuji apples, clementine oranges, chocolate covered pretzels, Better 'n peanut butter regular and chocolate.

 

[Jill]

Oh, I also love Chobani and other Greek yogurt. If I'm wanting dessert and I'm being "good", I will mix in some splenda or equal, but if I'm bad, then it's fruit jam to match the flavor of yogurt, or additional honey! I can make anything bad (yummy but shame on me)

Got another thing I think will go on my LIST... Nutella + Pretzels

 

[Ashley]

Chocolate roasted almonds

 

[chandab]

Chocolate roasted almonds

Yum! How could I have forgotten to put that on my list.

 

[Boss Mare]

I am not a person that likes sweets too often. I do enjoy chips, but my weird snack is meat and cheese.. A slice of lunch meat wrapped around cheese. I don't even care for bread that much and take my sandwiches apart and eat them that way too.. And NO condiments ever!

I do like pistachio nuts too.. And gummy worms / bears.

 

[Genie]

Popcorn, old fashioned way, using olive oil in the pan....then sprinkle with sea salt and serve, with some m and m's tossed in the bowl as well.

Salted crackers with a piece of cheese and a bread and butter pickle on top.

Cream cheese with red pepper jam on top and use a triscuit to dip into it.

Nachos with cheese and salsa on top and heated in the oven to melt.
