With lunch at 12 and supper at 7.30 roughly on working days, I need to have a small snack in between to tidy me over and to exercise with energy.

Usually, I would have table spoon peanut butter and a small glass of milk.

What else can I have, lower in calories but still filling?

Biona rye bread toasted, topped with nut butter or a (not quite) hard boiled egg and vegemite

Proper Greek yoghurt with sliced banana and blueberries

Hummus with wholemeal pitta sticks and cucumber sticks

Cheese and seedy crackers

@Perfect28

When I read the OP I had a half formed thought in my head that the snack mentioned was a bit odd and started scrolling and when I saw your comment, that is EXACTLY the way I feel about it.

You've described it perfectly.

Why not have half a TBSP with some apple sticks or sliced banana, it would be much more pleasant to eat?

Edamame beans? Can buy frozen ones and just defrost a portion.

I often have these. I defrost in a jug of boiled water with some salt. Sometimes I dry fry them with a diced scallion and chilli. Such a great snack.
