    Yes, that is one of my favorite snacks! I just use regular peanut butter though. I think Almond butter has less fat in it compared to regular PB. Also, the laughing cow cheese and slice turkey breast on the rice cake is really good too!

    PB on celery is also delicious, and PB or almond butter on apple slices. I keep my snacks as real food that I like to eat (some people love rice cakes; I am not one of those people). Small containers or ziplock baggies are awesome in that you can ration out snacks that are quick to grab when you want something (I do this with fruits, veggies, and nuts -- nuts especially are so easy to eat so many without thinking about the calorie content). I love the little Balderson cheese individual packs too.
