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

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.

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 good thing to have around the house though - in the summer we'll make hummus at least every couple of weeks. With lots and lots of garlic!

It's a lot faster if you start with canned garbanzos.

2 cups canned garbanzo beans, drained
1/3 cup tahini
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic, halved (or more, to taste!)
1 tablespoon olive oil

Throw the whole shebang in your food processor and blend until smooth.

I loooooove hummus and this is a very easy, very tasty recipe.

Enjoy!

We've gotten addicted to Edamame hummus. Yum! Basically sub steamed edamame (shelled) for the chickpeas.

Hey! That's my recipe too! I got it from the Frugal Gourmet - years before hummus became so popular.

I find I always loveeee a good drink (sorry not a snack!)

I love agave nectar and lemon juice in water, as a lemonaide. Mushed up strawberries can be added for a great strawberry lemonaide.

Apple butter in soda water (plain fizzy water) or mineral water is amazing too.

Cheers
