The $100 Question: Tell Kelly From Mocha Momma Your Go-To Healthy Snack

and fresh fruit is not in season, I will make my own granola. I will use stevia, steel cut oats and carob ships.

fresh strawberries in season and whip cream on top. Fresh -from the farmer's market is the best. Frozen doesn't quite cut it.

lately, I've been snacking on Genisoy bars, since I have coupons for them.

I go to the frig and grab a yogurt.

walnuts are full of omega 3s

I have a sweet tooth, so I usually reach for fruit. A banana isn't the lowest calorie snack, true, but it's better than a bowl of ice cream!

Celery and peanut butter!~

my favorite healthy snack is an organic gala or braeburn apple with Raw Almond Butter. yummmy!!!

Crisp green lettuce tossed with warm saute garlic, olive oil and vinegar.

hummus and pita bread is low fat yet delicious!

My most frequent healthy snack of choice is SmartPop in the little bag. Really filling.

I like celery with cream cheese or a peanut butter covered banana.

A NICE WELL RIPE BANANA, AND A LOWFAT YOGURT IS A HEALTHY FRUIT/PROTEIN LOW FAT SNACK AND TASTY, WITH A LOT OF ENERGY STORED IN IT!!!!

I go for a hand full of walnuts or half a cup of cottage cheese.

Edemame is my number one "low on time" healthy snack.

If I really want to be healthy, I'll eat an apple but if I'm ready for a sweet treat I'll eat a 100 calorie package of Lorna Doone cookies.

A handful of almonds will get me through the afternoon slump.

There are tons of healthy options for snacks on the market today and always have been. Some of my favorites are granola mixed into vanilla yogurt, a hard-boiled egg, raisins, apples and any kind of fresh fruit actually. As for my daughter - who is 7 - I give her the same things I eat. She loves knowing what's going into her body is healthy and natural. We don't add anything to our snacks that isn't healthy for us. And everything is in moderation - no overdoing it.

I'm following Weight Watchers now so I try to have snacks on hand for those times I'm craving something to fill me up between meals. The trick is to preplan for those times and I usually bring home the fixings for salads at the grocery store and prepackage some containers of ready-to-eat salad in the refrigerator so I can just grab one and add dressing when I'm hungry. If I have to cut tomatoes and cucumbers before I eat, I'm likely to pass up a salad and grab a cookie instead...so I make sure everything is ready-to-eat so I choose healthy instead.

I also have my own "snack box" that I fill with low-fat cereal bars and 100 calorie snacks.

If I'm just bored, I break out the microwave popcorn. It takes forever to eat (one piece at a time because I'm not an animal) so it gives me something to do.

If I'm really hungry I'll have some cheese and whole wheat crackers because it fills me up and gives me some dairy.

If I need sweets I reach for a Lara bar - especially the jocolat or apple pie one.

If I'm at my mom's house (shut up, she loves when my 40 year old butt raids the fridge) I have some fruit or cut up veggies because she actually eats healthy.

I like to eat a homemade mix, raisins, mixed nuts, sunflower seeds, mini chocolate chips for some sweetness--I keep it on hand all the time.

Bananas.

I buy the toddler granola bars. They're only 80 calories, satisfy the craving, and I can get three boxes of them for a dollar at my dollar store. :)

Special K Bars!

I really like to have some raw almonds on hand for some good protein and fats to satisfy me.

I take granola cereal and mix with vanilla yogurt
so yummy

Salt and Vinegar flavored almonds are my new fave healthy snack, tastes like chips but oh so healthy!

I like to mix raisins with unsalted sunflower seeds. They are sooo good but like everything else, eat in moderation

I love veggies and dip! Especially sliced orange, red, and yellow peppers--Yum!

I try to eat fruit or some nuts instead of candy when I need a snack.

fennel or celery sticks being dipped in balsamic vinegar. Another is cheese on multigrain crackers.

Ohhh the story of my life. I'm hungry. What's healthy, but will also satisfy a craving. Depends on what I'm in the mood for. If sompun' salty? Popcorn. If sweet? 100 calorie snack from any of the many. If it's chocolate I yen for? I make up a 25 calorie cup of cocoa. YUMMM.

Grab a piece of fruit, and pair with string or other low fat cheese. yummy

Bananas are one of my favorite quick and healthy snacks. Sometimes I have a teaspoon of nut butter on top if I need extra protein.

I like fiber bars as a healthy snack, with 35% of daily fiber requirement its a good way to fill up and keep the calories down

its oatmeal with fresh strawberrys , i can eat that 24/7. but it's not the way most people eat it...i dont cook mine and i also add chocolate powder to it.

My favorite choices for a healthy snack:

sliced berries, when in season (occasionally with a squirt or two of low-fat whipped cream)

Edy's Fruit Bars - only 60-80 calories each depending on flavor, often have 25% vitamin C, and no fat.

Yoghurt with sliced berries, especially Yoplait's Whips, it tastes like mousse.

I love a small cup of Haagen Daz 5 Coffee ice cream every so often.

A Fiber One bar, grape tomatoes or a mozzarella cheese stick. (When I can convince myself that a handful of chocolate chips isn't in my best interest!)

my fave healthy snack is string cheese and mini bell peppers

My fav go to healthy snack is a piece of fruit (banana, orange or whatever is in season)
