what is good snack food, i want to cut down on my potatoe chips.

I know people will tell you to snack on raw veggies or something but I personally have not found that to be a satisfactory substitution for snacking on junk food.

Good luck!

thank you very much.

Pretzels are a good option.

thank you very much.

Mrs Cue and I cut Joseph's Pitas into triangular shapes and bake them. You can put them in an air fryer too. We dip them in salsa for a low calorie snack. Another thing that we like is mixing sugar free non-fat instant pudding mix with non-fat plain yogurt. Put some fruit in it for some instant deliciousness!

Variety is the spice of life, you’ll get tired of constant anything. Fruit, salsa and chips, pop corn, peanuts. Chocolate! Jello (don’t laugh, Island pineapple with well drained mandarin oranges is Killer).

What's your goal?
Lower calories or more vitamins or something else.

Are you looking for dry snacks -- something that can be a direct replacement for potato chips?

Anything can be a snack, including a can of peas or leftover meat loaf,
but for dry snacks there are nuts, popcorn, jerky, and chips or puffs based on vegetables other than potatoes.

And of course there are fruits -- berries being something you can pop in your mouth.

Thank you Jenny100, there are some things I didn’t consider. I usually go for whatever is on sale on the snack isle at the local grocery store. I’m insulin dependent diabetic, so I especially love the sweet stuff! The Forbidden Fruit Syndrome I guess.

Always thought Cheez-its were the best.

Prayers and Positive thoughts, Geo.

For a snack for my not-yet-insulin dependent pre-diabetic husband, I make him baked cheese. You have to use real cheese, so they are high in fat, but are very yummy. What ever you do, don't use "cheese food" or individually wrapped slices. They are almost half water and it won't work. Line a cookie sheet with parchment baking paper. Break cheese slices into fourths. I get cheddar, jalapeno, Monterey jack, bacon and cheddar - any cheese slices that you like. Bake them in a 350° oven for 8 to 12 minutes. Each different cheese takes a different time. They should get all melty and bubbly and slightly brown. Take them out of the oven and let them sit for a minute and then place on a paper towel to absorb some of the fat. When they cool, they are really tasty!

Geo, prayers and positive thoughts heading your way!

Prayers for you Geo!

So, Draclvr, does the cheese become like little crispy chippy things then? I sometimes slightly melt cheese in my microwave just for the meltiness (and to warm it up if it's cold) when I'm eating it with crackers.

I don't tend to "snack". Just stick with my regular meals - but make them good ones

Sending best to you, Geo ....

Yes, oldbroad, it becomes crispy little chippy things. Some cheeses get crispier than others. You can also use shredded cheese mixed with seasonings such as dry Italian dressing mix or taco seasonings. Just make piles of about a Tablespoon of cheese. Some recipes call for a 375° oven, but my oven does better with it at 350°.

Geo, best of thoughts to you...

Thanks. I might have to try this some time!

prayers on the way geo. and thank you guys very much.

Not sure if anyone else suggested it. Popcorn, plain is best, or with Sea Salt. Good filler upper. It's one of those things that, even after a full meal, the smell of popcorn made me hungry again. Sadly, I can't eat it anymore; lots of things I still can enjoy.
