What do you snack on?

[Katteh]

I desperately need some high calorie, filling snack ideas that aren't chocolate and crisps please!

I need quick foods as I don't get a lot of time but I'm getting a bit fed up of eating so unhealthily, it's just the umhealthy ones seem to be the most filling.

Ideas please x

Hummus with carrots, bell peppers etc. It is high in protein and filling. Others are avocado, pita chips, cheese with grapes.

I've been snacking on graham crackers. Honestly though what helps me is eating a double serving of oatmeal for breakfast and really pounding my water. That helps keep me full for a while (and helps with milk). I would second the hummus and veggies, adding avocado to salads or sandwiches.

A glass of chocolate milk could help. Buy full fat or 2%. The chocolate is actually good for post workouts! So I figure its good for breastfeeding mamas who have a sweet tooth ;-)

I second porridge/oatmeal I have it for breakfast and an afternoon snack...it's also good for milk supply..apparently!

I've been eating like a horse! I second what the ladies say, also mixed nuts and dried fruit, an avocado on toast, yoghurt, oars, bananas and honey, bowl of cereal, peanut butter toast. Oh and crisps or chocolate, lol!

Im obsessed with cereal. Super quick lots of flavours. Loving the fruity filled bite sized shredded wheat as can eat them straight out the box. Also cereal bars, yoguts, also packs of meat like chicken pieces. Mmm.
