Mom2_4 0 Posted August 19, 2008 Lets get this board moving a little! Share your favorite healthy-healthyish snack recipe or snack idea. I am currently hooked on apples. I can't eat a whole apple so I core and peel the apples, cut them up and freeze them in my size portions in a ziplock with diet 7-up to keep them fresh. 2 Tbsp. PHILADELPHIA Light Cream cheese Spread or Fat Free 1 medium apple, cored, cut into 8 wedges 1 Tbsp. PLANTERS Dry Roasted Peanuts, chopped SPREAD cream cheese spread evenly onto apple wedges; sprinkle with peanuts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gone 4 ever 6 Posted August 20, 2008 my favorite snack is blueberries in milk with artificial sweetner Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tapshoes 2 Posted August 20, 2008 Any kind. It really is unfortunate because although healthy, they are just (for me) very addictive and I rarely stop at a reasonable sized portion...who can eat just 8 almonds?!?!? So, although my favourite, they really have become my downfall...Eve had her apple, with me, it's nuts.:eek: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReadySteadyGo 8 Posted August 20, 2008 Those all sound yummy. I like to take the prepacked imitation crab meat and wrap a peice of low fat motzerella or gouda around it. I also like a plum Or an apple with a little Peanut Butter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
