What’s In My Snack?
People throw the term “Snack Queen” around a little too loosely as far as I’m concerned.
To fend off hunger I try to keep macro-friendly snacks on me at all times. Purse snacks, console snacks, the snack cupboard, then there are boat snacks and dock snacks (which can also be referred to as patio snacks or even just guest snacks if you prefer) which is what we will be going into length about today (these are important topics so make sure to grab a pen and paper to take note 😜)!
Here are some of my favourite snacks for those times you have guests over and want to nibble:
- Veggie tray with dip made from fat free plain Greek yogurt mixed with ranch seasoning
- Salsa, Good Foods Tomatillo Guacamole (Costco), fat free Greek yogurt to dip Pretzel Crisps in
- Light cheddar, Babybel, Laughing Cow or fat free cream cheese served with lean deli meats like turkey and ham, pickles and Wasa Crackers or Suzie’s Thin Cakes
- Good Thins Crackers and hummus or a lighter tzatziki
- Pickled beans, beets or eggs, light cheese strings and Piller’s Turkey Pepperoni
- Spokes or Chee-Cha Puffs
- Flavoured rice cakes
- Buddha Bowl (Bulk Barn or Shopper’s Drug Mart), Boom Chicka Pop Light Kettle Corn (Superstore) or Pop Time Popcorn (London Drugs)
- Special K Cracker Chips
- Fresh fruit and fruit dip made from fat free plain Greek yogurt flavored with protein powder and PB2
- Shrimp ring with cocktail sauce

- Cream Cheese Ranch Roll-Ups
- Fresh Rolls with homemade peanut dipping sauce
- Skinny Greek 7 Layer Dip served with veggies, pita chips or Pretzel Crisps

Here are some of my favourite low/no calorie canned/bottled beverages I keep on hand (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) for these times:

🎶 I’m like “Hey, what’s up? Jell-o.”
Seen those grocery bags as soon as you came in the door.
I just want to eat, got some dough for us to roll.
Married to the honey, introduced her to my stove.
Showed her how to whip it, now she mixin’ it on low.
She my Snack Queen let her hit the Buddha Bowl.. 🎶
