    Sweet Potato Hummus with cucumber is my new favorite snack!! It has a bit of kick to it , something about it reminds me of a meal I have had at an Indian resturant.

    Holy COW!

    Sweet Potato + Hummus = dream come true!

    I just looked up a recipe for it and I'm going to make it this week! Thanks for the tip!!

    Lowfat iced latte--use your leftover morning coffe, add skim milk and your favorite sweetener, and lots of crushed ice.

    Not only is it yummy, and has a bit of calcium, I'm using leftovers to make something for almost free that would cost $2-$4 dollars at a coffee shop!

    Roasted and spiced chickpeas (garbanzo beans)! Drain a tin of chickpeas and pat dry, roast as they are until crunchy. While they are in the oven, mix some of your favourite spices (chili, cumin, corriander, etc.) with a bit of olive oil, then tip the hot beans in a give them a good coating before making them vanish!


    What temp do you roast them at and for how long?

    Also, my snack (and this is really weird) I get pancakes and put mustard on them :P You get a slightly sweet and slightly spicy mix and it's awesome :)

    my housemates think it's really weird,but I LOVE a banana cut in half longways and then half short-ways filled with peanut butter: like a pb sandwich but with banana instead of bread!

    I made these a few years ago when my niece and nephew moved in with us. It was a great way to get them to eat some fruit, and they love them. It is a frequent request by my niece especially for a non-school lunch. We call them "peanut butter and banana sandwiches" since that is basically what they are. Mmmmmm.....I might have to have one of these tonight.

    Here's another twist to "ants on a log": celery, with a laughing cow swiss cheese wedge and craisins! It's delish!


    I like the sound of this!

    That's a great idea! Sounds delicious!

    My favorite snack is beef jerky. It only takes half an ounce to keep me from feeling hungry for a long while.

    (Something Salty): Baked Chick Peas

    19 0z. can of Chick Peas (strained, rinsed, patted dry with a paper towel)
    Olive Oil Spray
    Salt
    1/4 tsp Cayenne
    1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
    1/4 tsp Oregano

    Set oven to 450f and bake 30-35 minutes. Spray with olive oil (when done cooking), top with seasonings

    I ate an entire can of baked chick peas earlier (; I think they're a great substitution for chips or crackers. Feel free to tweak the seasonings(: I like spicy things so I typically add more Cayenne


    (Something Sweet): Frozen Yogurt

    Cover a plate/tray with tin foil. Pour your favorite yogurt into a Ziploc bag. Cut a tip off of the bag and make yogurt 'dots' all over until you've used all the yogurt up. Freeze 45 minutes.

    I also ate this today(; (lol eat a *lot* of snacks!) I like this because it's less calories than ice cream but still satisfies(:

    Hope these helped!!!
