It seems like I'm always on hungrygirl.com - I love that site, but thanks for the sparkpeople.com suggestion - I love finding new sites, books or magazines. My goal is to learn as much as I can and become as knowledgable as I can about health, nutrition and fitness - so this is great!

Have you tried the cookies yet? I bought them a bit ago, but have yet to open them! I love the crackers with tuna and cottage cheese - its the perfect 'light' meal! And their granola bars are just plain good! I'm also excited to try their new frozen dinners - I know they aren't the best for you with the sodium and all, but they're better than other choices I could be making
I'm also addicted to their oatmeal.
Okay, basically I haven't had anything Kashi that I didn't like!

I go to this site frequently:
http://www.whfoods.com/index.html
my fav snacks I usually have hanging around are:
* soybeans -they come frozen. cover them with water in a mug and pop in the microwave for a minute. drain. add a pinch of kosher salt.
* fresh fruit (oranges, strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, raspberries, bananas, peaches, grapes, pineapple, melons) -which I'll sometimes cut up and store in the fridge for the [near] future. a side of cottage cheese is great with fruit, too.
* fresh veggies (boston lettuce or baby spinach, toms, cucumbers, carrots, bell peppers... mmmm add balsamic, chevre, basil, oregano, and pepper and you've got my fav salad!) wait...toms are fruit!
(also, sugar snap peas, snow peas, avocado, broccoli...)
* crunchy peanut butter -a heaping tablespoon will keep me busy for a bit while I'm surfin'
* popcorn -I get the single serving mini bags
* nuts (almonds, cashews, peanuts -all unsalted)
* tuna & salmon -in the fresh pouch
* eggs -quick overeasy, or hardboiled (which will keep for a week)
* organic yogurt -my fav is Stoneyfield (blueberry, strawberry, vanilla, and key lime)
if I do buy bread, I always make sure to buy stone-ground whole wheat (one of the first ingredients on the package should state 'stone-ground').
this may not be a snack, but I love flavored water. I always put either lime wedges or cucumber slices in my water. very refeshing and spa-like.
and I'm always up for teatime.
mmm... I'm getting hungry now...
HTH!

Thanks! These are some GREAT ideas!
I haven't tried anything other than Kashi's TLC's but I really need to venture out. I haven't seen their frozen stuff yet but I might try a couple for work sometime. It is touch with all the sodium but, oh well... sometimes it's almost unavoidable.
We banned trans fats and hydrodgenated oils from our home about 2 years ago and I just feel like it's hard to find new things I love. Thanks again for all the great suggestions!

100 cal snacks, fresh fruit, granola bars, peanut butter & apples haha...peanut butter is good for you, even though it's high in fat...just watch out for the salmonella :X and apples & pb are a great combination (sounds weird, but it's not). i also love pb & bananas, or a pb & banana sandwich with honey =]

Everynight I have an apple with peanut butter (or almond butter) and then I drizzle a little honey and sprinkle with cinnamon. All for 150 calories - its great! I only use a teaspoon of peanut butter, so its like 20 calories, and I only use all natural - so its just peanuts (or almonds) no oils, sugars or salt. Just peanuts - I don't think I can go back to eating the 'other' stuff.

But not the little sweet Japanese ones that taste so good but just make you feel hungrier because, well, that's what they're meant to do.
ITA with medusalox; frozen grapes are the awesome!
