Okay, one of my favorite snacks is a nice granny
smith apple ... I buy them very green, not at all with any reddish hue, b/c I love them tart (esp. when pg). But I don't just
munch on an apple, i cut it up into slices, and arrange it nicely on a plate, and then I add cheddar cheese slices, or I dip
it into nut butter. YUMMM.
Nuts and seeds are another of my favorite quickie
snacks.
Also, I love popcorn. I keep meaning to try it
with nutritional yeast, which would increase the nutritional content. Any suggestions as to how much to use? Of course my
daughter always asks for lots of butter w/cinnamon & sugar (not white sugar.
Hummos with pita and veggies! Yum. This can be
a meal, too, but it's also a quck snack. I often buy it premade, but it's easy to make, too ... either cook some garbanzo
beans (aka chick peas) or open up a can and put in a blender or food processor with lemon juice, little olive oil, little
parsley, little tahini , garlic optional, and blend till smooth. It works best if you put the liquids on the bottom. If I'm
using a blender, I usually have to stop and mix it up with a wooden spoon a couple times before it's really done.
Hummos on pita goes great with cucumber sauce!
I usually use kefir, lots of sliced cucs, some sliced onions, little salt and pepper and cayenne and paprika. This is a little
runnier than convetional sauce you'd get, but I think that's often made with sour cream, so this is healthier. Yogurt works
great as well!
I'm getting hungry!
