Salty crunchy snack ideas

My weakness is right after I get home from work. I just want to relax and eat something crunchy & salty, and that's when the bags of chips and crackers call me. I'll start popping popcorn and I'm not big on pretzels. Any other suggestions? I would prefer no/low work to make it and obviously lower in calories.

Thanks in advance!

    A taste not everyone will like, but celery with low fat cream cheese topped with an anchovy.

    Edamame beans in the shell, sprinkled with rough salt.

    How about rice cakes with philadelphia light, or peanut butter on them?

    I like apple with peanut butter as a crunchy snack, or cucumber with a small bit of cheese, or carrots and humous.

    Not crunchy, but beef jerky.

    I have the same craving. I go with organic celery and Woodstock organic peanut butter. Base how much you eat on what your calorie needs are for the day. 1T of pb is 100 calories.

    Apples are crunchy. Organic pink ladies and braeburns are my favs.

    Organic carrots.

    You can still have your chips- just eat a very small portion. Atleast that's my philosophy...

    Baked kale chips! Sprinkle the kale with olive oil and sea salt then bake until crispy. So yummy.
