Nuts and Raisins
Ham & Cheese Roll-Ups
1 oz. nuts (peanuts, cashews, pistachios, almonds) and 5 raisins. I used a condiment container I got from a takeout place and it's the perfect size to take with me to work or running errands. I just keep a bunch of these in the frig.
Ham & Cheese Roll-Ups
Use lowfat stringcheese and lean smoked ham.
Apple Snacks
My favorite is a small Fuji apple, a lowfat colby-jack cheese stick, and a small amount of reduced fat peanut butter.
Granola
Credit for this one goes to the mother-in-law. : ) I keep some in the car in case my errands run long and I don't have time to eat.
4 c. quick or old fashioned oats
2 c. raw sunflower seeds
1 1/2 c. sliced almonds
1/2 c. chopped pecans
1 c. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c. oil
1/2 c. honey
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. almond flavoring
1/2 to 1 c. dried fruit
Mix first 6 ingredients.
Put oil and honey in microwave and heat just until warm.
Add vanilla and almond flavoring to warm mixture and stir. Add to dry mix. Stir well.
Put granola on cookie sheet or baking pan.
350*, 10 minutes, stir, 10 minutes and stir while cooling so it doesn't stick. Add dried fruit.
Fat-Free Chocolate Pudding or 100 Calorie Snacks
These fill my chocolate fix without loading up on calories, and satisfy me when I'm craving specific things like Cheese Nips or Oreos : )
