Hi All
I know there is a stick post on snacks which I have read through but the ones listed don't seem to be things that are very filling.
I always end up going for chocolate which really upsets my tummy or toast which gets very boring!
What snacks do you go for that fill you up?
Thanks so much, I am so sick of feeling ill from the chocolate!

Look in the Recipe Index under Snacks/Appetizers. I eat a lot of hummus and bean dips - protein! I also keep a stock of frozen quick breads in my freezer; I bake one day a month.
Since I feel better when I eat every 2 or 3 hours, I don't worry so much about "filling up"...

Here is what I tolerate for snacks:
Unsweetened apple sauce (I buy the single serve packs because somehow, a big jar always turns into a science project in my fridge)
Baby carrots or carrot sticks
A banana
Little Debbie angelfood snack cakes
Keebler Cinna Bites Rite Bites
Graham crackers (Keebler, again, I think, but always read the label)
Dry cereal such as Marshmallow Mateys (Malt-o-Meal's Lucky Charms knock-off)
Dark chocolate (again, read the label)

I usually munch on low fat cinnamon graham crackers or reduced fat Ritz crackers. If I'm not having a lazy week, I'll having a muffin that is frozen in batches that I make over the weekend. If you need chocolate, choose any of the muffin recipes in the recipe section (I think the strawberry muffin recipe has the best texture) and substitute diary-free chocolate chips for the fruit. Check the labels. I found that the store-brand semi-sweet chips in my store are dairy-free. There are many brands in the health food stores if you can't find one in your grocery. Another option, if you have Heather's book, is the chocolate silk pudding. That is SUPER chocolately and perfect for PMS cravings. If the toast is a little boring, it's ok to spread a little honey or all-fruit jam on it, just no butter.

I like to soften a flour tortilla in the microwave for about 10 sec. put a small amount of peanutbutter on it and slice up a banana length wise and roll it up. I can't get enough of these.

I do the same thing but I add honey as well, I have also been known to heat it in a frying pan, so it's like a dessert quesadilla...I also do dried mango, graham crackers with peanut butter, crackers with soy cream cheese...and the regular stuff like pretzels, rice crackers and all that jazz

For a liquid chocolate snack, I've been mixing my acacia dose with a couple of spoons of good cocoa and some almond syrup. I then add some soymilk and put it in the microwave: hot creamy chocolate almond goodness!
Another safe chocolate thing is the Anti-Depressant Brownie recipe in the recipe index.
