Pita chips are really good. If you have a whole foods in your area, go there and get fruit (dried or not), they also have pizza that's healthy. Hummus is a great snack and it comes in all kinds of flavors. Naked juice is filling because of all the fruit. Low cal popcorn. I always like popcorn with some spice to it, so you could add some Cavanders spice to it. And if you get asparagus and lightly salt it maybe with a little garlic if you like and bake it in the oven til crispy, they're like chips. And very very good. There is also this stuff i found at a specialty shop where i live called groovy foods. It has sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, all kinds of seeds drizzled in chocolate. You could probably make your own if you wanted to.
Hope that helps a little!

I second the kale - its my new favorite food. I add sliced mushrooms to mine - so good. I also do a dish of sauted onions, tomato and cannellini beans over fresh spanich. And another favorite is lentils with tomato sauce and lots of cumin.
