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

[Ana]

Funny, I think we all have similar tastes.
My new favorite: Sliced apples, peanut butter on a whole wheat tortilla, with a little honey drizzled over it all. Roll it up and NUMMY! a little messy sometime, though

I wonder if you could cut the apple slices into cubes and use a peeler to dig a small place on one of the sides to put peanut butter so it would be easier to eat on a bike

I roll bananas and peanut butter up in a tortilla and slice it. Not for the bike. Kids love it. My son calls it banana sushi.

I dip a banana in melted smooth peanut butter.
Nutella by the spoonful every now and then.

[Pedal Wench]

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!

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

On bike treats from Whole Foods Family cookbook (La Leche League), slightly altered:

mix together dry:
.5 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped
.5 cup almonds, finely chopped
1 cup carob or chocolate chips
1 cup peanuts
1 cup raisins
.5 cup dried cranberries or apricots or what have you.
1 cup whole wheat flower
1/4 cup wheat germ (or, if you don't have it on hand, add grape nuts or corn flakes, crushed.)
pinch nutmeg
pinch salt

mix 1 cup rolled oats with 1/2 cup very hot water, let sit.

Cream together:
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
1 egg
1/2 cup honey
1 cup peanut butter

Mix all together in big bowl. Transfer to greased 9 x 13 baking pan and bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes (until edges pull away a bit.) Let cool. Cut into bars. Can be frozen (and actually, travel better after being chilled. We freeze in 4-bar allotments for 2 people per ride.) Entire thing is 1200 cals so determine cals per bar by how many you cut up.

Sounds YUMMY! But I am sure this is beyond my snack points for Weight Watchers (yep, trying that thing again!)
