Hi there! I am a snackaholic. I already eat lots of fruits and veggies for snacks. I am looking for other (non fruit and veggie) ideas of snacks that might be low fat and low sodium. Anyone got any snack ideas?

    I love to have some Greek Nonfat Yogurt with a little fruit and Kashi granola. Almonds and light string cheese is another favorite.

    Almonds or other types of nuts are a favorite snack of mine, although they're not low fat. They are a healthy source of fat and will keep you filled up, though. Choose unsalted or very lightly salted to keep to low sodium!
