What is your new favorite (and possibly healthy) snack?

It was rather interesting to see how employees responded to plump fresh yellow plums that one woman who worked in my dept., plucked off her backyard tree. They really went for them instead of the donuts. And this was at a workplace with predominantly men.

We have a yellow plum tree too. (Well, technically, it's in the neighbor's yard, but most of the foliage seems to be in mine.) There again, so much fruit that some went to waste. I *really* need to borrow GLC's dryer. We seem to get a bumper crop of cherries too.

Ok, how much am I loving the fact that so far, the three types of fruit you've mentioned are three types that we don't grow?! I see a big ole fruit-swap headed our way!

We do have cherries, but so far, no crop yet (birds got em all last year). We have bumper crops of red plums, prune plums, multiple kinds of apples, multiple types of grapes, bartlett pears and three types of blackberres...soon to add 5 kinds of blueberries and 2 kinds of raspberries!

Deal!

Of course, MY version of bumper crop might be different than yours.

A colleague of mine brought in some dry roasted almonds with a a light coating of dark chocolate cocoa powder on them a few weeks ago. She offered to buy me a canister of them next time she went to that store.. so... I've now been eating an ounce of these delicious almonds every work morning.
YUM!

They are about to get transferred to my FX though for post-ride munching!

I'm so jealous of all of you with access to fruit straight off the tree!

For a quick snack, I'm a fan of string cheese and fruit. If I want to put effort into the snack, I make hummus with veggies or pita. And if I *really* want to put work into it, I make strawberry salsa (chopped strawberries, kiwi, maybe some apples, throw in a bit of lime juice and mint) with cinnamon chips (tortillas sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, cut into triangles and toasted).

Oh, good grief...ask me again when the Girl Scout cookies are all gone.

I read this thread last night just after DD and I shared some apple slices and PB. I often make Apple sandwiches out of thin slices and PB or Sharp Cheddar Cheese.

I also like apple slices with cinnamon and a handful of raw almonds.

A banana is a favorite snack. Quick and easy, comes in its own wrapping.

Trying to train myself to eat veggies and hummus. It's good when I eat it, it's just not the first thing I think of.
