Starting a broad, general thread for listing the above.

I just sampled Snack Factory Pretzel Crisps yesterday...not bad!

And my typical before dinner snack is baby carrots with 1 oz. of hummus.

one of my favorite snacks, probably not overly healthy, but def not overly unhealthy is the Nature Valley Sweet 'n' Salty Almond bars. they have a staying power of a couple of hours and hit both sweet and salty cravings.

i think they're worth every bit of the 3 pts weight watchers says they are!

Last week i tried one of those protein bars....not sure the exact name but i believe it was one that body builders sponsor (E.A.S. ?) anyway it says on the package that it has 30grams of protein with glutamine. It wasn't bad with a cup of coffee but not sure if all that other chemicals in there is a good thing....and the hefty price.

I really love Balance Bar's. My two favorites are:
Balance Gold Crunch Chocolate Mint Cookie -- 14g protein, 210 calBalance Gold Chocolate Peanut Butter -- 15g protein, 210 cal

My girlfriend really likes LUNA bars (lunabar.com).

URLs have all the detailed nutritional facts...

I second Nature Valley! Best stuff you can grab off a regular grocer's shelf.

I've tried protein bars and don't like them much. I'll chug some whey protein in the morning and night to get everything I need there.

I like snacking on a mixture of dried berries - they've totally replaced sweets, for me. I eat loads of Tesco's Berry Mix.

1/2 cup of plain non fat yogurt with honey drizzled on it, mixed with half a cup of either peaches or mandarin oranges (or both, or any fruit for that matter) soooo good! and so filling!

i like silk soy yogurt or a handful of pistachios, almonds, or cashews. oh my god i love cashews.

I like carrot sticks. I also like nonfat yogurt, especially Danon's Light and Fit. Or an apple, nice and crunchy.
I like Luna bars too. They are great for breakfast on the go. But if I have time, I try to eat oats.

The snack food I miss the most in my new lifestyle are chips! Good old salty chips, cheesy doritos, crunchy fritos...you name it.

A replacement I have found (and love) for the occasional craving I still get for chips is more than filled by the variety of soy chips made by Revival Soy. YUMMY!

nothing beats a granny smith apple (green one) or a fresh banana or maybe some grapes.... YAY

My favorite snack is boiled edamame. With just a little salt they are great. Great nutrition, too.

Replacing the midnight snack-cake with sandwiches of the pbj variety. Eating the special hippie flax-seed bread with almond butter and a smidge of the honey.

Between-meal treats that won't blow your diet

I've always quite liked raw vegetables like celery, cucumber, carrots and bell peppers with various dips. You can make low fat hummus really easily, salsa is fabulous as there are so many taste combinations you can have, tzatziki or yoghurt & mint dip is great, and you can also make low-fat versions of taramasalata and baba ghanush as well.

If you want a nice hot snack and are prepared to wait, then I like stuffed mushrooms - buy the big flat type, wrap in a parcel of tin foil, roast them for 20 minutes in a medium hot oven (around 200C, approx 400F I think), and prepare a filling for them. A grilled slice of bacon with a soft poached egg is nice, or a scrambled egg with a little smoked salmon. Or you can have a handful of bacon bits mixed in with a little ricotta cheese, or dips or anything you fancy really!

My other favourite is cooked aubergine (egg-plant) slices in a toasted wholemeal pitta bread with dark green salad leaves (watercress and rocket are great for that peppery flavour) and a spoonful of Greek yoghurt. If you're feeling adventurous, aubergine is great in that it soaks up any flavour you throw at it (much like zucchini), so you can marinade it in lemon juice, paprika, cumin, a little mint and coriander before cooking it and it comes out very Middle Eastern indeed! I'd recommend griddling it - if you have a George Foreman that works a treat, but otherwise a non-stick griddle pan will do just as well. If you panfry it and want low fat, do not use oil as the aubergine will soak up all of that too!

hardboiled eggwhites.
once their hardboiled, the yolk can just plop right out!

and i second the carrot sticks and hummus. especially if its garlic and chive hummus, YUMMMMMM.

Snap peas. Carrots. An apple. Dried cranberries. 1/2 ounce of nuts or seeds. Blueberries. Turkey jerky.

I recently discovered Luna bars! They're great!

I also enjoy Powerbars but not everyone finds them tasty.

I definitely second the boiled edamame and I'll add NuGo bars (the peanut butter ones). Like most of the protein / nutrition bars, NuGo bars are fairly high in sugar, but they're not too too bad.

I like to cut whole wheat pita into wedges and place them in the toaster oven for about 2 minutes or so. When the edges lift and slightly brown, they are ready to serve. I mix plain, non-fat greek yogurt with mint and cucumber for instant tzatziki dip. Serve alongside hummus or baba ghanouj or both.

I'm down with edamame, as well. I keep them prepared in the fridge if I have a late night snack attack!

I like the Luna bars, too, and the Danon 60 calorie yogurts, but the one thing I've been surprised I like is the unsweetened applesauce. You can sprinkle a little Splenda on top, but it really doesn't need it. And I don't even like apples all that much!

My favorite splurge is the Jello (refrigerated) 60 calorie sugar-free puddings (nice portion control, too). We have those at night if our calories are still under the limit!

I usually take some plain yogurt and add some sweet fruit as well as something crunchy (fiber cereal, or occasionally less healthy alternative.. ;))

I also like eating carrots plain, though not sure how common that is.

I just made a post about healthy snacks on my new fitness blog.

Kashi TLC granola bars,both the chewy and crunchy kinds, are great as well. A good, light snack.
