need snack suggestion
I am looking for a good snack to bring to school for a mid-morning snack.
Here are the requirements: must be high in protein, must not need refrigeration, remember that I only get 20 points a day so it cannot be a high point food. I am going to try string cheese this week and raisins but I need something to tide me over between breakfast and lunch. I find myself reaching for the Hersey's kisses too often. judy in fort worth remove 4 to reply directly |

I like Pria bars. 2 points and full of soy protein.
There are other brands with points ranging from 2 to 5 per bar. Hershey now makes a Smart Zone bar with 4 points that you could actualy use as lunch. "judy in fort worth" wrote in message . ..

Is it better to snack or to have a better breakfast to tide you over till lunch? That is a personal preference. Some people have to have a mid morning snack because it is several hours bwt breakfast and lunch. If you have breakfast at 6am and lunch at 12pm then some need a snack. I can last from 7am to around 11:30am without a snack. I do have a hearty, high fiber breakfast or I could not last that long. Others need to eat every 2-3 hours so they certainly have a mid morning and afternoon snack to make it through the day. Just remember that you still only have a certain number of points allowed each day. So if you get into the habit of a mid morning snack it means that you should have a smaller breakfast. As Judy said, she is only on 20 points per day. That is not a lot of food so she has to ration it out very carefully to each meal and/or snack. |

being one of those who eats more often I also find that three points works
nicely, a piece of fruit and yogurt or cottage is an excellent snack but she needs non refridgeratored, Lee Laura wrote in message ... "Beck" wrote in message ...

I snack. Different people do different things. No matter the size of my
breakfast I am hungry at ten, so I eat a small breakfast and a snack. I have some whole grain crackers that I use with low fat cheese, or hummus. A hard boiled egg travels well two filling points. Sometimes I have fruit. Some yogurt will do fine out of fridge for a while. Bean dip in one of those little cans with celery sticks. Half a serving of a hi protein cereal such as kashi go lean crunch. -- LESLIE ARNIM "Beck" wrote in message ... "judy in fort worth" wrote in message . ..
