What are your favorite snacks to munch on between meals? I'm always looking for new (and healthy) options but seem to find myself in a rut and eating the same things.

Here are some of my favorites
- baby carrots and hummus (I like the hummus made from Tribe)
- low calorie crackers with a wedge of the laughing cow garlic and herb cheese
- apple with a bit of peanut butter


What about you?

    I love Goldfish. Lately I haven't been eating them, or when I do I eat 1/2 my usual amount because of the sodium and it's just sad.

    Almonds, natural applesauce, carrots, red peppers and blood oranges are my top contenders otherwise. And if I'm good, a few piece of Cadbury at night :)
