Chips and salsa. Nuts… almonds, possibly pistachios. The other night key lime pie. At that hour it could be anything! ---

Sliced cheddar cheese on saltine crackers. Or peanut butter on graham crackers Then I’m thirsty and a cold Budweiser hits the spot. ---

Fruit if I have it. A banana, an apple, or an icy cold can of pineapple chunks or mandarin oranges from the fridge. If I don’t have fruit then a PB&J. ---

My definition of “midnight snack” is something you eat when you wake up in the middle of the night. For me, it’s usually a glass of ice cold milk. It’s filling, it’s refreshing, and it helps me sleep. (If I’m still awake, it’s whatever I feel like nomming on.) ---

Whatever’s around that isn’t too hard to make and I don’t find repulsive. Leftover pizza is one of my favourites. ---

A bowl of peanut butter Cheerios with almond or cashew milk. I have to have something to take my medicine and vitamin D with, and that is always it. I love peanut butter Cheerios so much. I start counting down after dinner the time left until 10:00 when I can have it. ---

Olives. Good deli meats. Little bit of cheese. I often wrap cheese and olive in the meat, but late at night I usually just have a piece of each and a few olives before heading upstairs. It works for me… 🙂 ---

> [@Rhiannon8404](#): > > Peanut or almond butter right out of the jar with a spoon. I second this. In my case, Trader Joe’s all-natural PB, creamy unsalted, only I use a table knife. Easier to lick all the PB off. 🙂 ---

Often a Pillsbury Pizza Pop. And yes, I know how unhealthy they are. If it’s not that, it’s often a cheese sandwich. And I define “midnight snack” as what I eat before bed, usually some time before midnight. I can’t stand going to bed hungry. ---
