Snacking my days away

As I’m sure you heard, yesterday was Mardis Gras. I celebrated it by getting off work at an early time and working on crocheting a baby blanket. Exactly how it should be celebrated, right?!
I saw this on Saucony’s Facebook page yesterday and completely agree these are the best type of beads to earn:

I’ve been working on my snacking and eating fruit… I must say I LOVE being able to eat fruit again. I had to significantly cut down when I was diagnosed with IBS and it was the saddest thing in the world. I love having my fridge stocked with apples, oranges, grapes, blackberries, blueberries… YUM.
Of course, watermelon season can’t come soon enough…
And snacking… all I can say is why did I let this fall to the wayside? I used to get crazy headaches some days and other days would just be SO hungry. Duh. Not quite sure why I didn’t pick up a snack. 
The folks at KIND sent me an awesome package of goodies and I love eating a handful of granola before I head out the door for my morning run (I thought this was going to be the most difficult adjustment… eating before my weekday runs? Turns out its not really a big deal.):
Right now my other snacks throughout the day have been focused on fruit. No complaints here! My nutritionist said I should also pair them with a protein, which is something I need to work on.
Did you celebrate Mardis Gras?
What’s your favorite protein-ish snack? I need ideas

That granola looks delicious!! I need to get better on eating healthier snacks. This would be a good one!
Definitely! It's definitely harder to find healthier snacks… the not-so-easy ones always seem to be around, though
I didn’t celebrate Mardi Gras. I actually didn’t realize it was Mardi Gras yesterday until last night. My bad!
I love KIND bars, but I have never tried their granola. I bet that it is awesome.
Love the Saucony add too!
It is really good! Probably the best granola I've had
I recently discovered some all-natural turkey jerky as a good high protein snack that is low cal and fat free. Quite tasty. Today I had pear slices with cottage cheese. So good.
That sounds delicious! What is the name of the jerky? Good call on the cottage cheese.
Protein: do you eat dairy? Plain Greek yogurt with cinnamon, a few raisins, almonds/walnuts; cottage cheese; a couple of hits of nut butter; hummus; I’ll try to think of more!
I do eat dairy although not as much as I used to. Love the idea of cottage cheese though and strangely, I've never really snacked on hummus. Thanks for the suggestions.
