I like to make No-Bake Protein Bars (http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=2446502)...even substituting chocolate protein powder for the vanilla powder.

I'm loving the great citrus fruit this time of year, especially clementines and grapefruit!
ReplyDeleteMegan - Team liveWELL
mmmm - grapefruit is one of my faves!!
DeleteAn apple or banana is a great, easy snack. I'll also grab a hand full of mixed nuts for a quick snack after work as I'm preparing dinner.
ReplyDeletePistachios - a handful is enough to squash hunger until next meal, and they taste great!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite snacks is a Weight Watchers muffin recipe I've had for quite a long time. Can't remember the "points," but it's either 2 or 3 "points" (may be 3 in the new Points Plus system. Or, that and a cup of coffee in the morning gets me going!

I keep a small red basket with organic produce at my desk. Generally it has apples, banana, orange, carrots, celery, raw almonds, pecans, and greens. Sometimes I bring in a green smoothie generally made with organic Kale, berries, cinnamon, and spirulina.

CELERY WITH PEANUTBUTTER AND RAISINS
ReplyDeleteMichelle Michalec
My favorite snack is very simple it is a cauliflower salad.
ReplyDelete1/2 head of cauliflower chopped into small pieces
10 grape tomatoes or cherry which ever you have sliced in half
olive oil
1/2 fresh lemon juice
salt to taste
Put cauliflower and tomatoes in a bowl on that you can put a lid on and shake. sqeeze the lemon in first and then add some olive oil. Taste it before you add the salt to see if you need more olive oil. Depending on how much you like lemon. Refridgerate for 1 hour or more. You can eat it right away but if you want it to soak up the lemon and oil I would refrigerate. This can be made the night before too. It is awesome.
