Midnight snacks

Apple slices and peanut butter is one of my favorite snacks. Or I would suggest a fruit salad with cut strawberries, bananas, berries, and kiwi. You can also make a tuna sandwich with sliced avocado. That’s one of my favorites. Anything low in sodium and sugars will keep your stomach feeling well and all of these are healthy too!

Well, apples have caffeine content so it will keep you up. Cold selection of fruits would be lovely, and tuna in brine!

Love cereal

thankyou everyone! I especially like the tuna and fruit ideas.

Definitely grapes. Or some greek yogurt and peaches. You wouldn’t know it, but Greek yogurt is extremely filling, healthy, low-fat if you buy the right kind, and will keep you full until breakfast.

any kind of fruit and crackers:) it’s light and fulfilling

@Cynch – really? Apples have caffeine? I must look into that.

When I get home late, I usually opt for an orange. Oranges are light and full of citrus goodness.

Had some yogurt with a handful of chocoltae cheerios mixed in :) It was tasty! lol I just found out apples have caffeine!

Veggie Soup! It’s so yummy and good for you!

I’m late on this, but definitely crackers & peanut butter are great! And it fills you up quick.

try vegetables. they are very healthy to eat at night

I always take a spoon full of peanut butter but try celery and peanut butter it might sound weird but it is good! Also Apples and peanut butter is good!Peanut butter and bananas is also great!

@ginanicolette – i love celery with peanut butter!

Peanut butter is very filling try different combos with it

fruit, or vegetables.

Oat and fruit bars! It’s light and yummy

I do eat late in the night if I am awake! I love to eat cookies or cakes!

Bananas are good if you are really hungry because of their consistency!

I usually eat popcorn late at night-it’s not too filling so you can still go to bed. Either that or whatever fruit I have lying around.

Essentially what you eat should optimize two aspects: healthy eating and promotion of sleep. The stimulation to sleep is derived from the presence of Tryptophan in the food (the same chemical that makes you sleepy after that yummy Thanksgiving turkey).

Here is an article that illustrates 10 healthy snacks to that will also help stimulate you to go to sleep:

thanks geek le chic :) I am no longer working nights, but I still stay up fairly late and this is helpful.

Try making a fruit smoothie with just ice, orange juice, and fruit of your choice. I usually make one for breakfast and it’s a great/ healthy snack that keeps you feeling good and full(:
