Ten Snacks

Here are ten easy snacks. Some require a little time the night before. Be sure to measure things that are fats - cheese, nut butters, oil. Just have one serving of a fat at a time. I also will eat a little meat as a snack or hard boiled eggs but I didn't list those here (it's hard to stick to ten).
  1. Peeled, sliced cucumbers with a little salt (salt makes them special).
  2. Dried mangoes.
  3. Two slices of raw goat cheddar cheese.
  4. Organic popcorn without stuff on it. Add olive oil and salt yourself.
  5. Corn tortilla with fat free cream cheese spread on it, with chopped red peppers.
  6. Brown rice cake with almond butter and a little honey.
  7. Miso soup. I use a dried mix at work - Just add water. Very satisfying snack.
  8. Corn bread. There are very nice organic corn bread mixes which do not add corn syrup and other nasties.
  9. Mint-carob covered rice cakes. Poor carob got the bum rap of being thought of as fake chocolate when it is wonderful all on its own.
  10. Pirate Booty comes in small snack bags. The size keeps you from eating too much. One bag is only 130 calories.
