Ever tried the Skinny Cow icecream sandwiches or chocolate eclair bars or fudgesicles? they are low in fat and calories but sooo good!
For healthy snacks I also eat a lot of fruit and in the summer there is so much to choose from. Frozen grapes are a great cold treat. I also eat Baby Bell low fat cheese. I also do Charlotte's idea of a hard boiled egg (eating protein keeps you full longer) Peanut butter on celery sticks is also good. When I crave chocolate, I often drink chocolate Silk soy milk. I was surprised that it was actually so good. And instead of soda, I often drink fizzy water with a lemon slice.

Personally I don't care for Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches but Adam and Judy both liked them.
I love Silk Milk have not had the chocolate yet. That will have to be on my "things to get list" when I am able to get out and about myself.
Have any of you had the Cheddar Airs ? It looks like Popcorn but not and no husks

Yes WendyMichelle, I am just as guilty. ;-)
That's why I try to keep prepackaged dry fruit snack back and canned fruit next to the chips in the pantry, and the pre-cut carrot nubs in a semi-water filled container near the front of the refrigerator along with "lite" yogurt on eye level shelves. In the meat drawer I keep 1% or 2% milk fat string cheese sticks visible through drawer, and occasionally I buy red delicious apples for the other crisper drawer. If the prices are just right I may even pick up fresh broccoli and /or Cauliflower - and prepackaged saltless almonds or sunflower seeds. Also tomatoes are really good raw also, i use to eat them like apples during my junior and high school educational years. Great for Lycopenes and they are one of the few fruits that do not "have" to be refridgerated.
