Any ideas for good, healthy snacks?

That pretty much says it all. I eat almonds, a ton of fruit, etc but every 3 hours I'm hungry. I'm a college student and I'm on campus for most of the day a few days a week. I eat a snack in between two classes, then a pretty good lunch (usually a veggie sub from jimmy john's or a salad and fruit). By the time I get home at 3:30 I'm starving...any suggestions?

    Curves, popcorn only has 90 calories a bag=1 serving. Fills me up when I'm hungry.

    I've been having a fat free chocolate pudding as a snack which also helps with my sweet tooth. Its only 80 calories and there about 4 for a dollar.

    Apple wedges and cashew butter. Cut the wedges, squeeze with a little lemon juice (to keep from browning). Package the cashew butter in a small reusable container. Perfect for one the go snacking.

    For a sweet/salty fix. Pop a 100 calorie bag of popcorn. Pour the contents out on a baking sheet. Melt 2 tablespoons of dark chocolate chips and drizzle over the popcorn. Let cool, package in a reusable container and you have a wonderful 300ish calorie snack that will get you through the afternoon.

    Fruit and cheese is my favorite, especially pears and brie cheese. Presidente brie cheese comes in cute little wedges called "Wee Brie." It's fantastic and only 80 calories. Sometimes I buy the cheese sticks too and eat them with apples. I bought a little paring knife with a plastic cover on it to cut up my fruit on the go. Now, if I could just have a little glass of wine with my yummy snack! ;)

    OK, minie is strange but its tasty. I put a little peanut butter on a slice of fat free cheese. It sounds gross but oh so good. also peanut butter with apples. I'm really into pink lady apples this year. That and popcorn. I love popcorn and I think it's high in fiber as well. Good luck!
