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

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.

My favorite food coop has started carrying dark chocolate-covered cherries and almonds in their bulk foods bins. I've been buying them and freezing them, and oh, man, are they good after a long ride. It only takes a couple, too, to take the edge off a chocolate craving.

I also love apples with peanut butter, and lately I've been making almond butter and honey on whole grain bread to take with me during my long teaching days when I'm working from one end of the county to the other from 8am - 10pm. They're very portable, and it keeps me from breaking my no-fast-food-in-2009 rule.

I'm amazed at how little I miss fast food.

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

With fruit becoming more available I would have to say green grapes or strawberries with a handful of nuts. yumm
