Hi all,

I've been banded 20 months now. Weight loss has stalled over the last 10-12 months. Up until now, I was happy maintaining the 80+ lbs that I had lost. Now I'm ready to start again. I'm looking for some high Protein snack ideas. I am well aware of the typical Snacks but I'm tired of those. I'm looking for new ideas, maybe even new recipes.

I recently came across this recipe for a lentil dip that I am going to try. I haven't entered the info into a calorie/protein counter yet.

1/3 cup veg. oil

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

1/2 tsp cinammon

1 tsp dijon mustard

1/2 tsp curry

In a seperate bowl, combine:

1 can lentils (drained & washed)

1 cup red pepper (diced small

1 cup dried currants

3/4 green onion, chopped

pinch salt

Mix both lots of ingredients together. Refrigerate 1-2 days

I'm hoping the lentils will provide enough protein to make this a decent snack. My plan is to scoop a tablespoon(?) on a cracker. 3 or 4 will be a snack size serving.

Anyone else have any ideas they can share?

Some things that I've been eating for Snacks are:

Fage Greek Yogurt with zero calorie flavors (like DaVinci)

Turkey Sausage (35 calories) with string cheese

Pepperoni slices with string cheese melted on it

Nuts

Edamame

Veggies or crackers with Hummus

pudding with FF Whipped Cream

Fat Free hot dog

Ricotta cheese with splenda and vanilla

Turkey Jerky Bacon

Cold cuts rolled up with cheese
