What do you snack on? When do you snack? Do you have a regular between meal snack time, or do you snack when hungry? Or all day like me? :giggle

I try to snack on nuts but I'm pretty sick of them. I don't like apples or bananas really, and my current pears are flavorless. If I buy strawberries or grapes, the kids have them gone in 2 hours. lol

I'm at a loss over here.
 
I am a night time snacker big time. It's like I put the kids to bed and immediately think I can sneak a sweet treat. When I'm being good I'll get the 100 calorie ice cream bars so I get something sweet, but don't go too overboard. I also like chocolate pudding with a tiny sprinkle of mini chocolate chips. Another thing I've been eating lately, mostly for breakfast, but also at night when I'm really hungry... is a greek yogurt mixed with 1/2 cup of fiber one cereal.... the kind that looks like wiggly twigs. My husband starting this mix and I would always tease him that it was time to eat his cat food. :giggle It's pretty tasty.

If I'm bad... it's usually dairy queen. damn them for putting in a drive thru three blocks from my house that it open until 11:00 pm!!!
 
I'm on a pretty strict diet so my snacks might not seem all that appealing but a few of my favorite are celery w/ peanut butter, rice cakes w/ peanut butter and cinnamon, nuts, and mozz sticks. I'm pretty predictable as it's usually mid afternoon and again a couple hours after dinner.

Karen, we used to live very close to a DQ, too and man, that was tough!
 
Depends on whether or not I'm on the diet wagon. :whistle

On the wagon.....
fruit, nuts, celery & peanut butter

Off the wagon (which is way more fun).....
candy & chips.
 
My problem is I always like to snack! I usually crave salty stuff like chips and dip. I try to avoid that with hummus and celery.
 
my planned snacks are pretty healthy - yogurt, low-fat string cheese, nuts, fruit. my unplanned snacks look more like donuts, cookies, and chunks of chocolate.
 
fav at the moment is cheese and bikkies and dips. But chocolate will be consumed if found...
 
I generally have cheese & crackers or as I am having at the moment (instead of dinner) hummus & crackers
 
Yeah when I am having bad cravings I will go for chips or cheese and crackers or something else salty. If I want to do healthy I love green olives out of the jar ;)
 
I'm with Karen - tend to have a little sweet snack after the kids go to bed. I'm pretty much constantly trying to stop this habit. ;)

I usually have an apple or banana mid-afternoon with the kids when they get home from school.
 
I have found that I really don't snack much anymore. Not like I used to. But when I do decide to snack it is like the other Mamas in here and when the kiddos are in bed...lol. I will sneak something then...haha. Is that mean?:giggle
 
I am a big snacker when I am scrapping. Mainly pretzels! but have been snackin on broccoli/cauliflower bites too. nothing sweet...blech.
 
I try not to eat much in between meals so keep my snacks small....pepperoni stick, string cheese, a few rice crackers, small handful of almonds, yogurt and usually once a day I have a small piece of dark chocolate.
