Hi,
I am looking for some healthy snack idea. I get pretty ravenous around 8pm, I have been hitting the homemade popcorn and frozen grapes pretty hard but I need some new suggestions. I am not a big fan of sweet snacks, so something salty would be great!!
Thanks,
Allana

Welcome to the forum.
Do you have dietary restrictions?
Cherry tomatoes & raw veggies are obvious choices. My husband loves peanut butter filled pretzels (from Costco).
Corn chips & salsa
Crackers & Norwiegen Pate (the recipe should be on the forum, it is from cjs - you should be able to search for it.
Cheese & your favorite crackers
You could also search for appetizers on here or "snacks" might bring up more suggestions!
I could probably could come up with more, but I'm struggling with a very limited diet right now and am drawing blanks.

Great suggestions above, I'd add having a trail mix on hand. Hummus and pita bread can also be a good mix of snacking, filling, and nutritious.

I love hummus! It's so inexpensive to make, and so good.

Ohh I love hummus, my partner made an olive one and a jalapeno one the other night. I might research Norwiegen Pate a little bit as well! I will let you know how I go

Search here on the forum. If you can't find it let me know and I'll look on my computer. I know it involves cream cheese and sardines. Yum

I'll have to take a look into those hummus recipes too! Haven't made homemade hummus in a long time. If you have a recipe for the olive and jalaepeno one, please share!

I don't have that one, perhaps a search? My best hint for a silky hummus, warm the garbanzo beans in the microwave until they are just warm to the touch then process them.
I also buy sesame seeds in bulk and make my own tahini as needed.
