    When I worked out at camp, I was pretty limited and pretty lazy.

    I'd toss some almonds in a pan and franks hot sauce, cook them til the sauce dries on, and you have spicy almonds.

    I think I'd also toss a little butter in a pan with cheerios, cinnamon and sweetner, then cook that til it dried on. Not a bad snack either.

    I used to religiously eat a cup of cottage cheese with cinnamon+ sweetner, and if i was feelin frisky, a few raisins and slivered almonds.

    [How long do these keep for? I'm wondering if I can make a bunch and then snack on them at work for a few days.

    they keep for a couple days, but you have to use an airtight container, I placed mine in a ziplock bag and they lost their crunch

    These are some of my favorites:

    1. A sliced apple with peanut or almond butter.
    2. Yogurt with fruit and/or granola.
    3. Baby carrots and hummus (I add some sriracha for extra kick!)
    4. Bagel thin with peanut butter.
    5. Laughing Cow cheese with whole wheat crackers.

    I've bought Terra Brand products. They have very low sodium (10mg) and Vitamin A of at least 25%. I really enjoy the Sweets (sweet potatoes) & Beets. Terra gives me the feeling like I'm eating potato chips when I'm not and 15 chips is 160 calories, where as my banana is 105 or my orange at 90.

    -Pistachios.

    -Greek yogurt (Fage is my favorite brand. I think the plain with a little sugar or Splenda is very filling and around 100 calories).

    -Two *corn* tortillas (taco size) sprinkled with some shredded Mexican blend cheese and heated in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds. Fold it in half, or roll it up and dip in some salsa (looks for Herdez brand in the international aisle of your supermarket).

    -Vitatops (vitalicious.com or available in frozen section of supermarkets)

    -Barbara's Puffins cereals (I snack on them dry)--found in the "health food section" of the grocery store. All the flavors are good, but especially the peanut butter.

    -pretzal M & M when you need chocolate :)

    I eat mostly vegan and am incorporating more raw food into my diet. The snack of the moment is:

    Large organic carrot (shredded)
    Grapefruit sections (1/2, skins & pith removed)
    2 Tablespoons Health Starts Here Tangarine Vinaigrette (from Whole Foods)

    Shred carrot, toss grapefruit & vinaigrette.

    Refreshing, light, tasty. :smile:
