Tuesday Tip: Midnight Snacks

What do you crave for a midnight snack? For this week’s Tuesday Tip (a new series I started last week) I asked the members of our Say Yes team what they grab to satisfy that late night hunger and here’s what they said…

Me: Jared and I both love popsicles (I’m a fudgesicle fan, Jared loves these raspberry/lemon/strawberry ones from Trader Joes). Relatively small amounts of calories, but satisfy that sweet tooth. Plus, you can’t really type while eating one so forces you off the computer a while to watch a show or chat together about the day. Jared swears these TJ popsicles are his weight loss secret!

Ashley, site manager + fashion editor: After we get the baby down for bed we usually watch Parks and Rec re-runs and eat popcorn. Once in a while, we crave kettle corn so we put a few spoonfuls of powdered sugar in our microwave popcorn after it’s popped and give it a good shake. It’s not as good as the real stuff but works great when you are in a pinch!

Sara A, project assistant: York peppermint paddy. Every night. Get your chocolate + mint fix!

Sarah I, project intern: I go for a bowl of cereal like Honey Nut Cheerios…unless there are cookies in the house. Cookies always win.

Brittany, food writer: Chocolate covered frozen banana bites! When I get extra time I make them in advance or to make things easier I sometimes buy the Dole’s Banana Dippers from Costco.

Kersey, assistant writer: I love kalamata olives. Great, now I want some!
