Can we talk about snacks?

Question

What is everyone snacking on? I want better options than carby badness. I've been eating fruit, larabars, and quest bars. As someone who is still trying to actively count calories those carbs can add up quickly.  Suggestions? What are your favorite snacks?

Answer

Since I have gestational diabetes I'm forced to count carbs. My go to for snacks is either string cheese, muscle milk light protein shakes, Apple and almond butter, cheese and crackers with some chicken breast. Of course there are veggies but I personally never am up for that.

Answer

I don't know how this fits into your carb counting but I like to eat instant oatmeal as a snack. I add some bran to boost the fiber.

Answer

Also love apples with a good cheese. Nuts and fruit are nice, plus tea as its warm and filling. I will add that eating my big meal at lunch instead of supper helped me a lot. Not as much need to snack in the afternoon, and bedtime feels a lot better when there's not tons of heavy food at dinner.

Fruit smoothies- I make with Greek yogurt, fresh fruit, etc...
