Snack foods your diet couldn't live without?

As we all know, snacks are an important part of any healthy diet. So, what are your favorite diet-friendly snack foods?

Mine are pickles. Especially Van Holten's Zesty Garlic pickles. Cucumbers are naturally low in calories, so that 5oz pickle is filling, delicious, and takes forever to eat! Just make sure to balance the sodium content of the pickle with extra water.

vegetables; broccoli

fruit; blueberries

high fiber cereal; cheerios, kashi cereal

unsweetened apple sauce

Stewed Rhubarb (with artificial sweetener)- super low cal!

Bran cereal

diet yogurt pottles (great frozen too!)

frozen blueberries

Hot cocoa- made with unsweetened cocoa powder and peppermint essence (with artificial sweetner if required)

low fat bran muffins

prunes and almonds

fruit in general- just watch sugar intake

rolled oats

wheat germ- mix in with oats or applesauce if fibre for the day is lacking

carrots= a staple

protein bars - I make my own a lot :)

Im interested in how you make your own protein bars! They are so expensive to buy...

care to share any of your recipies or ideas?

v8, coffee, tea and non-fat hot chocolate as an alternative to plain water,

shirataki noodles, high fibre bread and porridge to replace pasta and rice,

cottage cheese, non-fat yoghurt, laughing cow light cheese and salsa to fill me up,

granola and energy bars to substitute chocolate bars,

small packs of bite size cookies or crackers to make me feel like i'm eating more than i actually am,

and broccoli cos it's my fav. :)

any type of very sweet tasting herbal tea, for sugar cravings

 almonds and dried cranberries

bell peppers

microwaved frozen peas with a bit of salt

unsweetened apple sauce with cinnamon, warmed up

bananas

kashi go lean, no where near as tasty as the go lean crunch, but a little bit eaten plain is very filling because of all the fibre

PB2 on double fiber bread

PB2 is crazy good .... also use it with apples, sprinkle on fat free ice cream, in fat free vanilla yogurt

100 calorie microwave popcorn

dry roasted edamame/soy nuts/almonds

I just started this CC a little over a week: Some one please correct me if I am not on the right track with snacks:

Banana or Pear

Kashi Heart to Heart Cereal (plain without Milk)

90 Calorie Granola Bar

Whole Wheat 40 cal toast with PeanutButter

Dannon Light and Fit Yogurt
