Late Night Munchies

[Lexis]

Hi, I want to answer to my stomach when it grumbles for a late night snack, but I want it to be healthy and delicious, any ideas? Thanks.

I'd stick with fresh fruit, that way you won't be trying to digest something when you go to bed. Fruit digests very easily.

Yeah, that'll work I think. Apples have soluable fiber to help fill you up too. Always a good time for a nice crispy apple. Oddly, I find peanuts seem to help me sleep better, maybe because of the tryptophane. They do satisfy, but it tends to take more than I think is good for me all at once, so they aren't too good for satisfying the tummy.

Yum ... I'll just take the almond butter on a spoon!

I love apples and peanut butter for a snack. I also enjoy popcorn (air popped is healthy) but I like butter and salt What about a sorbet if you have a sweet tooth. Or a yogurt smoothie. I must admit when I reach for a snack after the kids go to bed it is usually something I don't want to share! This is what happens to only children when they are adults!

Frozen blueberries and maple syrup.

I don't know how satisfying this will be for you....but, when I'm reading in bed or watching something, I eat low sodium sunflower seeds - lots of 'em! Just good to crunch and healthy too.

Or, rice cakes, for something really bland adn uninteresting!

I'll second apples and peanut butter, nuts, dried fruit, a scrambled egg. Might not be the best prebed snack...but one of my snack favs is the sea salt lunderg rice chips with salsa and a some black beans. yum! and has fiber too... Also, veggies with some dressing on the side is always healthy.

I had a navel orange and trail mix last night. I crave something filling. LL
