Wow, looks like I am not the only one that snacks on peanuts.

Have you tried the Planters Sweet and Spicy peanuts? They're spicy!

Here is the next problem, especia!ly with peanuts or chocolate with intentions of moderstion...I cant resist eating more of them! Peanuts are great, I love peanut butter. I go through jars with my dog like noones business. If its peanuts in a jar, I wiill constsntly grab handfuls. The will power is difficult to find sometimes, espeically if going through some heavy life issues.

grapes are a pain to maintain.

I agree...but I found a way.

Fill a plastic solo cup with grapes and fill it with water.

Dump it out & fill it again...keep doing that until they are "rinsed" and then eat them right out of the cup.

When y'r done throw the cup away.

Hah. Maple Syruo would be a bad idea. It is so sweet I even avoid eating pancakes. I'd be better off eating granola bars relstive to that tbh.

Try bacon and maple syrup on vanilla ice creme. sprinkle a couple walnuts or something to be healthful!

gotta try it just once before you die !! LOL

Chocolate pudding, low fat whip cream, and crumble up a graham cracker...tastes just like a french silk pie & it's healthy for you!

Nuts.

Yours or someone elses?

 

[skye]

Cashews

yes, hmmm delicious!^^

or pistachios or macadamia, but that's rather expensive....too expensive, I haven't eaten them for so long....but macadamias are amazingly delicious!

If you like chocolate pie, you can make a chocolate cream pie with sugar free chocolate pudding mix and whipped cream with your favorite sweetener.

Use a graham cracker pie crust, less fat, less carbs, better tasting.

Use 1/2 cup less liquid in the making of the pudding mix (I use the cook and serve pudding mix, I think it tastes better).
Pour into the pie shell, cover it, and place in fridge for 2 hours.

Whip your whipping cream with your favorite sweetener, or you can get a tub of Cool Whip Sugar Free topping.

Put the Cool Whip on top of the cooled pie, and there you have it.

Tastes pretty good. I've made a few of them in the past 10 years, and most people don't even know they are sugar free.
Lots of carbs though.

Put them on a paper plate and put the rest back in the cupboard BEFORE YOU START EATING THEM.

That's what I do & it usually works.

Make your own granola bars with peanut butter and banana.
All sorts of recipes on Youtube for that.

For snax, I will usually eat carrots, celery, or cleaned, fresh jalapenos with cream cheese filling. Oh so good.

Granola with nuts and raisins.

Instead of eating potato chips, try to eat some pretzels, they are not exactly healthy but they are much healthier than potato chips!

Oven baked pretzels, not fried.

 

[lg325]

celery with peanut butter is my fav since a child also any fruit juice like orange juice put in a ice tray and frozen with a tooth pick stuck in it is a good cool snack.

 

[leftwinger]

White popcorn cooked in Canola oil. Salt shake & go.

Learned about this from Miss Nancy's Romper Room on television when I was A kid pour juice in ice tray put a sheet of Suran Wrap over it stick tooth picks in and freeze. The tooth picks make a nice little handel to hold the juice cube its like a litle pop sickle and healthy.

Apples, watermelon, cucumbers, celery, peanuts, pistachios, almonds, walnuts, blueberries, oranges, peppers and peaches will pretty much all heart healthy snacks that will make your sticker peck out.
