Top 13 Snack Ideas

Phase 1

  • Raw veggies, including celery, green or red bell peppers, cauliflower and broccoli florets, served with hummus or a South Beach Diet-friendly dressing
  • Dill pickles (seek out the no-sugar-added variety and limit your consumption if you're watching sodium intake)
  • Edamame (green soybeans, sold by the bag both in the shell and shelled in the frozen foods section of most supermarkets)
  • Sunflower seeds (count 1 ounce or 3 tablespoons toward your daily nut/seed allowance)
  • Soy nuts or dry roasted edamame (count 1/4 cup toward your daily nut/seed allowance)
In addition to the above, you may also enjoy the following snacks in Phases 2 and 3:

  • Carrot sticks
  • Whole grain crackers
