I am in a snack rut

[sitnspin]

I have a tendency to overdose on certain snacks for months until I can't stand them anymore.  It is a problem 
Anyway, here is what I usually snack on and I would love some new ideas!  I tend to stay away from dairy, just an fyi.

Kind bars
fruit (banana/apple with pb, smoothies, fresh, etc.)
veggies and hummus
rice crisps and salsa
Lara bars
dried fruit/trail mix
dark chocolate covered almonds

Help!!

Wraps with whatever combo of meat/veggies/condiments
Hard-boiled egg

[lauren170]

Raw cashews
Apple and almond butter
Greek yogurt
Guac and peppers
Deli turkey and guac
Popcorn

This post is making me hungry!
-Pumpkin or apple butter with apple slices
-Protein Ballz- I tried these once (pb instead of almond butter)and need to find time to make a ton ahead and freeze- there's also probably simpler recipes for the same idea out there, and easy to swap out ingredients

Garlic parm roasted chickpeas (http://www.sugarfreemom.com/recipes/garlic-parmesean-roasted-chickpea-snack-recipe/)

Note, it's easier to toss the beans in oil, then mix in the parm, rather than mixing parm with oil first.

That sounds AMAZING

katietornado I love your sig so so much. I watch it over and over whenever you post.

I am not much help, I eat the same three snacks every day for about 8 months. Popcorn is always one of my favorites, but I cut that out because I started measuring really well (2.5 cups) but then I got lax about it and next thing I know I am eating 4.5 cups of popcorn every day...I LOVE popcorn.

That'll do!  Thanks for getting me out of my slump.  I am making a store run today.

Moutabal (think hummus but made of eggplant, nothing like baba ganoush) and whole wheat crackers or veggies

Dates and nuts

Apple, banana, or pear with nut butter

Olives and grape tomatoes (admittedly, that sounds weird written down)
