From the article: Healthy Snacks
Almost everybody likes to eat a snack now and then. When you eat healthy snacks, you can add great nutrition to your diet and fend off the hunger pangs until dinner. The best snacks are low in calories, but high in fiber and other nutrients. Add a bit of protein to keep you feeling satisfied until your next meal. What's your favorite healthy snack?

Peanuts and fruit!

Boiled/Steamed nuts and the typical fruit (banana, apple, and grapes). I like the salted nuts too, but the boiled/steamed ones are healthier and tastier as well in my opinion.

I enjoy fruit snacks. They have natural sugars and complex carbs. I use whatever is available. Today I'm having cantelope chunks with seedless red grapes.

Apple Pie Pita Sandwich

Apple Pie Pita Sandwich Makes four servings My daughter created this yummy recipe when she was craving apple pie. We had no time to make a pie as we were rushing off to a ballet class, so we did the next best thing. We created these mini pockets infused with luscious cream cheese, apples, raisins and walnuts. The results were so delicious that we made a bunch and brought them to her class where they were devoured and now are a staple. If you are in a nut free environment simply leave out the walnuts and you can add a little bit of flax seeds for a little crunch and dose of omega threes. Ingredients: ¼ cup of cream cheese 2 teaspoon chopped walnuts 4 tablespoon chopped apple 1 teaspoon cinnamon 4 mini whole-wheat pitas Directions: 1. Mix cream cheese, walnuts, apple and cinnamon in a bowl. 2. Stuff the resulting mixture into the pitas. 3. Yes, it’s that simple!

Healthy, tastefull snacks

Hi everyone! As a current Health&Nutrition student in the Netherlands. I'd like to share my healthy snack with you guys. My favorite is plain yoghurt with muesli (without any added sugars) and fresh fruits, like strawberries, blueberries or pineapple. It's a perfect combination of protein (the yoghurt) and carbs (the muesli and fruits). Delicious and healthy - what else do you want?? Marlou

I love to eat wraps - on their own - they are really tasty! They're also good with cheese.

Favorite snack

I love organic celery with lemon hummus made by Cedars brand. Whole Foods make a fabulous Garlicly Kale. I made my own version and I am snacking on it as I type. Fabulous!
—Guest Cecilia

I love simple snacks

Whew! For me the simpler and the easier to prepare the snack the better. So I settle for coffee (cause I'm really a coffee drinker) and bread. Just love it!
