What's your go to healthy snack when ravenous ?!

[mrssunshinexxx]

Other than the obvious drink a pint of water
I find it so hard not to just binge on sugar mid afternoon

Plain popcorn

Fruit, roasted chickpeas, boiled egg or smoked salmon!

At that time I will have a cup of tea - it will slow me down and make me think sensibly on what I will eat next. Rice cake with peanut butter is my go to.

Kallo lentil rice cake with cream cheese & slice of ham. Under 100 cal and decent protein hit to satisfy hunger

Nairns marmite Oatcakes - packet of them -

Oranges

Boiled egg or couple of slices of ham

Bread and butter and a cup of tea, no sugar.

Boiled eggs or nuts. I’m currently cooking some vegetables to snack on for the next few days.

Sliced apple with peanut butter spread on top.

It’s delicious don’t knock it until you’ve tried it! I prefer red apples to green.

Carrots

Full fat Greek yogurt with a touch of honey

Piece
Of cheese or a slice of ham

I don't want to be a twat, but I don't get ravenous. If I'm ravenous I've not eaten enough in my meals. Eat a proper amount of calories, eat proper sized meals, eat loads of protein and veg. Then you don't get ravenous.

Either celery with peanut butter in the middle, or sliced apple with peanut butter.

Or a boiled egg with lots of black pepper.

What are you eating for breakfast and lunch?
I find that cutting down on the carbs and filling up on lots of veg and a bit of protein means I don't often crave sugary things.

@Thelootllama exactly. I'm slim and healthy and can't remember the last time I felt 'ravenous'. I get enough goodness from my meals. I might snack on nuts or fruit here and there but definitely don't snack every day or feel this burning need to snack.

• Boiled egg
• Cottage cheese (Longley farms full fat, don't bother with any other brand)
• Couple of slices cooked chicken
• Full fat greek yoghurt
• Babybel or cheese string

Pineapple

You didn't want to be a twat and yet....

I'm rarely ravenous as I usually eat a lot of protein at meal times, but when I was pregnant and was always hungry, I loved a small bowl of full fat Greek yoghurt with nuts and a handful of raisins. It's not a low cal option but so filling.

My post makes me sound really virtuous but actually I'm a chocolate addict, but I assume you wanted healthy options!

Grapes! I always have the large 3 colour pack from M&S to hand.

Apple and peanut butter

or

a cupful of frozen summer fruits (the kind you’re meant to make smoothies or fruit coulis with) - the texture is delightful

Greek yoghurt, protein powder and raspberries
