If you have a craving for something crunchy but want to stay away from chips or other simple carbs (ex: pretzels -- too much white flour for this whole grain girl!), what's your go to?

    I like the crunch of Kashi Go Lean Granola cereals on my 80 calorie greek yogurt. Its add the sweet crunch to a healthy snack.

    I love my raw veg for a nice crunch. Carrots, celery, red capsicum, cucumber, green beans, snow peas, broccoli (its an acquired taste). All low cal, lot of vitamins

    Apple chips. Not as sweet as a raw apple, and sooo much more crunch. I just slice apples and dry them in the oven overnight :)

    I get the pretzel crisps... then I usually spread some laughing cow cheese on top. It is crunchy and filling and makes you feel fancy. Also cucumber slices - just had some. I leave the skin on (most of the entries in the database seem to be without skin which surprised me). Also maybe popcorn?

    Read the label on a box of Triscuit's Brown Rice line. I think you will be pleasantly surprised! Yummy in moderation.
