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).

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.2005 Giant TCR2

Well maybe it's not the first thing you think of because it takes 8 hours to soak the chickpeas, plus probably an hour to cook, cool and grind them.

It's a lot faster if you start with canned garbanzos. Originally Posted by OakLeaf
