Snack Attack Snack IdeasSnack ideas...like I have said before, this is where we lose it. A handful here, a handful there…it all adds up and still leaves us hungry and unsatisfied. I don't believe in depriving ourselves in an effort to get back into those "skinny jeans". Having said that, I still believe we have to make smart choices. This can be the confusing part. Those labels can be confusing and the catchy marketing techniques can be misleading. For this reason, Lindsey and I have done the hard work for you. We have read the labels, tested them and picked out some snacks that will satisfy your cravings without derailing your weight loss efforts.
South Beach Living High Protein Bars
South Beach Living High Protein bars are definitely a staple in the Tucker household. Not only are they a great snack packed with 10 grams of protein and only 140 calories, but they are an easy quick breakfast option when time gets away from us. Also noteworthy, they have only have 6 grams of sugar, 25% less than the leading prepackaged bars, and 3 grams of fiber ...helping us to feel full longer. They come in five delicious flavors. Cinnamon Raisin is my favorite as it tastes like a cinnimon bun to me, and my husband is a huge fan of the peanut butter and chocolate flavor. They also have Cranberry Almond and Maple Nut but I haven't tried those yet.
Quaker Rice Cakes
I absolutely love these. I don't have a sweet tooth so much but I love chips and salty snacks. The Quakes Rice Snacks in ranch flavor completely satisfy my "salty tooth". They come in a number of flavors and only have about 60 calories per serving and no fat. Portion control...they also come in mini packs that only have 90 calories for the entire package. The ones with a carmel drizzle would definitely satisfy your sweet tooth.
