String cheese.
Glass of skim milk.
Banana.

On the golf course I take a little baggie with cherry tomatoes and sliced cucumber, sometimes sliced apple. At home I will eat an Activia or a bowl of fruit. Trader Joe's has these wonderful crackers. They are Multi Grain Savory Thins...130 calories for 17 crackers. I will take a wedge or two of Laughing Cow low fat cheese to spread on them. They're also good without the cheese.

walnuts
plain almonds
plain non-fat yogurt with walnuts and raisins
non-fat cottage cheese with wheat germ or oat bran and cinnamon
fresh fruit
dried fruit (no sugar added)
whole-grain bread with natural peanut butter, and sometimes banana spread on it, too
Apple with peanut butter
air-popped popcorn sprayed with Pam and sprinkled with salt or Tony Chachere's seasoning
salad (always one of my favorite foods)

I eat the wheat this parmesan,basil crackers mmm

Crackers with cut up apple and cheddar cheese. I'd make them for my kids when they were younger. Only they'd eat the cheese and leave the apple and crackers.

roasted chickpeas are great

baby carrots, whole wheat crackers, parmesan rice cakes, fruit

I was going to suggest the same as Glenda, roasted chickpeas. Open a can or two and rinse them off and dry them, then toss with a little olive oil and any seasoning you like. I've done salt and pepper, garlic powder, dry ranch seasoning, chili powder, italian seasonings....

Spread them on a cookie sheet and bake at 400-450 until they are crisp. Just watch they don't burn.

They are so yummy and you can snack on them for days.

Baby carrots with ranch dressing to dip.
Graham crackers spread with smooth peanut butter.

Frozen grapes
Chocolate protein shake
A few cracked pepper & olive oil triscuits with thin piece of cheese and/or roasted pepper
Hard boiled egg
Cereal bar
Raisins / nuts / sometimes a few chocolate morsels if I want a sweet
Banana w/ peanut butter

A Laura bar (no sugar)
Walnuts or almonds
Non-fat greek yogurt with blueberries or raspberries

Some great ideas here! I'm going to try the roasted chickpeas. As I said, I've been eating a half cup of them with a bit of cheddar mixed in for a good and filling snack, but roasted sounds great.

I am trying to learn to like cottage cheese. It's so good for you, but I just gag on the consistency.

And I'd forgotten all about frozen grapes!

I was so happy to have my chickpeas and cheese today. I spent the afternoon seeing clients at the jail and just *know* I would have stopped for fast food on the way home if I hadn't had the chickpeas and a cold drink in the cooler to tide me over.

Any kind of fruit, plus I've been keeping a bowl of cut watermelon chunks in the fridge lately--only way it really gets eaten. Cauliflower both raw and cooked, raw is like chomping on nuts. cottage cheese, sometimes w/crackers or wrapped in Romaine lettuce, lettuce alone is even tasty. A slice of 12 grain bread with peanut butter and jelly. Salads. Baked (nuked) potato w/chives from the yard takes a few minutes but its filling and good. Nuts,especially peanuts in the shell are always good, too.

I'm going to try the roasted chickpeas too. Hmmmm...I snack a lot!

Approximately how long does it take to roast the chickpeas?

Tuna and crackers
Insides of a tuna sandwich with out the bread - for me that is tuna, small bit of mayo and pickles
Slice of turkey or ham wrapped around low fat string cheese
Laughing Cow cheese on celery
Cup of soup
Pretzels with Laughing Cow cheese
Half a meat/cheese sandwich topped with lots of veggies like cucumber, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, etc. You can use any condiment you like such as mustard, may ranch, etc., but it has to be spread thin and can't be glopped on like you buy at the store.

Here's the link for roasted chickpeas. Click the link for other info.

Only thing I found out, is that don't say crisp more than a day, but they don't last that long.

This isn't my recipe: I c&p it, but all are basically the same.

Variations

�I sometimes use these to top my yogurt parfait. They add a nice crunch and some extra protein.
�Toss some on you oatbowl instead of nuts�.or with them.
�They are great in kids lunch boxes. A peanut-free way to enjoy a healthy snack, safe for "nut-free" zones.
What�s your favorite way to use chickpeas? How will you season yours?

Crispy Crunchy Roasted Chickpeas
Assume about 1/2 cup per person. This recipe will yield about 6 servings.

NOTES:

�You can use regular olive oil or flavored. Roasted garlic to various herb blends would be great.
�If you are going sweet you might want to add a bit of maple syrup, honey or agave before roasting.
�You can also toss them with some hot sauce if you want them spicy.
�Some seasonings to consider: Black Pepper, Rosemary, Smoked Paprika, Oregano, Curry Powder, Chili Powder, Chinese 5 Spice, Herbs de Provence, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Cardamom, Ground Ginger, Ground Mustard, Allspice, Cayenne, etc�. the only rule, don�t over think it and just have fun with unique flavor combinations.
INGREDIENTS

�3 cups cooked Chickpeas (also called Garbanzo Beans)
�some Canola or Olive Oil to lightly coat
�Seasonings: I like sea salt and smoked paprika
METHOD

Preheat oven to 400ÃÂF. Toss chickpeas with spice, salt and a small amount of oil. Put them on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for about 30-40 minutes until golden brown and crunchy. Toss them every 10 minutes. Let them cool completely before serving. They get much more crunchy after they cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

I make my own trail mix - I use Rice Chex, both dark and light raisins, low salted peanuts(I'm allergic to almonds and walnuts or I would use them), dark chocolate chips, banana chips, sometimes I add a little dried cranberries or mixed dried fruit called Berry Melody or something like that). I mix it up with 2 cups of the Chex, I cup of the raisins, banana chips, and 1/2 cup of the nuts, dark chocolate chips. Then I put a 1/2 cup in a snack baggie and keep handy. For a change I have used the butterscotch chips and pretzels but they are probably more calories.

A spoon full of peanut butter, cheese stick, nuts-particularly almonds, celery with peanut butter, baby carrots with some dip.....since I stay low carb I also eat a lot of beef jerky, slim jims and cheese.

In my college days, I loved slim jim and draft beer :o)

Carrot sticks and celery dipped in homemade sour cream Ranch Dressing.

raw peanuts which I lightly roast

fresh fruit

Triscuit Parmesan garlic thin crisps, cherries, grapes, goat cheese, laughing cow cheese on a cracker, walnuts..

I'm going to try the roasted chick peas too. They sound great!

Some of my favorites: Fat free cottage cheese with applesauce or some other fruit, 5 or 6 pitted prunes topped with peanut butter, a dozen and a half raw almonds, hummus and pita bread or (a new variation) hummus spread on party rye topped with a cucumber slice and dill weed, apple and peanut butter, apple and sharp cheddar cheese, string cheese, yogert, fresh veggies, fresh fruit, dehydrated fruit (make my own), many other too numerous to mention (lots of them already listed here) :-)

I love hummus, so I'm going to try the chickpeas too. I think I'll make some sweet with maple syrup and some savory. Yum.

My new snack is celery sticks washed so they are wet. Then I coat them with PB2, which is powdered peanut butter without all the fat. Tastes just like celery with peanut butter and hardly any calories. I ate about 6 stalks yesterday, piggie.
