Healthy snack ideas

[Confuzzleduzzled]

What healthy snacks do you have? I think if I could portion some out and have 1 or 2 a day, it might stop me reaching for the biscuits. I really struggle with portion control so with things like carrot sticks and houmous, I could easily eat the whole pot. I’ve stopped buying nuts because I can’t eat handfuls of them.

My go to, grab from the fridge when my stomach is feeling like my throat has been cut - chicken filets - just the small goujon size ones , or baby bels

I fill up on protein.

Im also loving cottage cheese - the cheap one from lidl is pure lush

Getting my head around that a snack doest equate a biscuit or packet of crisps , but something that will fill me has been a game changer

If I take biscuits or crisps etc, that's it - Im eating carp the rest of the day. Take some protein , it satisfies and Im grand - back to eating healthy balanced meals

Hard boiled eggs
Cottage cheese
Lentil and veg soup
Apples
Rice cake and peanut butter

I never thought of having soup as a snack but it often have it in the freezer. I could freeze some smaller portions for snacks.
Eggs is a good idea.
I’m the same as you @suki1964, once I start on the biscuits, it’s game over.

Also in the biscuits send me into a spiral territory!

I like a babybel, or a pepperami. A whole carrot is good for chomping on, and I find it’s useful to gauge if I’m actually hungry, rather than craving a sugar/carb hit. If I don’t want a carrot, am I really hungry?

I enjoy drinking black coffee/herbal tea as well.

Cooked chicken, stuffed olives, fruit, boiled eggs, smoked mackerel, pepperami

Fruit - if I need filling up a banana but if I’m after something sweet usually an apple or satsuma
baby bells
seaweed
fat free yogurt

I sometimes find a couple of grapes hits the sweet craving and it turns out I wasn’t actually hungry, bit like the PP said about carrots (great idea, I often don’t actually fancy a carrot so can’t be hungry!).

Frozen grapes
Frozen banana
Mini milk or fruit ice lollies
Custard with cinnamon (not that healthy?!)
Mini salami
Beef jerky
Cheese strings
Cornichons
Mini pickled onions
Olives
Home made granola bars with dried fruit
Pretzels
Dry breakfast cereal
Sugar free sweets
Protein bars (I always have half or a quarter)

I just grab an apple or if I get the munchies late gherkins!
