Need some healthy options for munchies

Anyone have any great suggestions? Especially for someone who has an insane sweet tooth.

I went shopping a couple weeks ago, thinking I would get healthy stuff and it would satisfy my cravings/munchies, but I was highly disappointed. 😢 Someone told me to try an keep a stash of chickpeas - for some reason I was thinking they were going to taste like Corn Nuts... not.

Try getting low calorie snacks. The "popped" variety of chips and rice cakes that are flavored are delicious. Also, low calorie pop corn in caramel is really good 🙂

I also like to keep around some high protein cereal; nuts- like cashews and almonds; pretzels, yogurt with your favorite toppings, low calorie trail mix

I love yogurt with granola and stuff like that, so I will try that out. But like nuts and stuff, for some reason it just doesnt do it for me. I eat them regularly, but when the munchies hit....no bueno. I tend to like more savory stuff.

I know what you mean. Pizza is also damn good when you have the munchies. You can buy the low carb ones in the frozen isle.

What do you tend to go for when it hits you?

Pizza is awesome! Lately I've been making my own using naan bread as the crust, maybe put like ground turkey with lots of fresh veggies on it. So good!

I usually go for whatever I can get my hands on, especially sweets, but the past few weeks I've been more conscious about what I eat. Feeling better and looking awesome, but it's something about when you get the munchies everything tastes sooooo good, and I dont always wanna cook, and if I do I'll start creating weird stuff that isnt the healthiest, its a disaster!

Chickpeas taste better than corn nuts..... Did you season them?!

If you have a sweet tooth buy dark chocolate.

Then buy pretzels along with dark chocolate and combine them. Sweet and Salty snacks= Heaven

Also Stacy's Pita Chips with Hummus is fucking great.

For some reason I can't get into Hummus. A really a long time ago this girl I worked with used to make it and she'd bring it and stink up the entire break room, just couldn't get over the smell! Maybe I will try it...

I will def try the dark chocolate w/pretzels...I've never combined those two, sounds good!

I love grapes, they just get gone fast in my house

Yea, I bought them already seasoned...I wanna say they are Chipotle..?

The dark chocolate covered cranberries are awesome in small doses. Dark chocolate period is good for you. Small portions like a half a handful. Almonds are also quite filling. I do a banana, peanut butter, almond milk, and almond smoothie... Swear it tastes like ice cream. ✔

Yea, the dark chocolate is growing on me. I found some pretty tasty snacks from Trader Joe's. It also depends on what it's pair with I guess, cause some dark chocolate seems like it tastes a little bitter!

Cashews are fkn awesome.. 😄

Yea, I love cashews too 🙂 On the fence about almonds really, but I cashews are always good.

I get those dark chocolate bars, chips then melt them to glossy then I dip blue berries, almonds, popcorn etc then put them on a plate covered in wax paper into the freezer for 20 minutes.

>Spread some organic almond (or organic peanubutter) on celery and put some (pitted) dates on there. extremlly sweet. this one

This sounds interesting, but I ate so much peanut butter when I was a kid I can't really stand it now.. 😢 Same for bananas, lol. I used to eat bowls of peanut at a time!
