What Are You Craving?

I ran across these snacking options while reading the other day and I thought a lot of them sounded good.  I love that you can choose between sweet or savory craving options.

If you're craving sweet:

  • Cherries (1 cup) + almonds (10)
  • Orange (1) + pistachios (30)
  • Peach (1, sliced and grilled) + "cream" (puree 1/4 cup cottage cheese, 1 teaspoon honey and cinnamon until smooth)
  • Berries (1/2 cup) + low-fat vanilla yogurt (6 ounces).  Craving chocolate?  Stir in 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder.
  • Apple (1, chopped and baked in microwave for 1 minute) + almonds (10, chopped).  Sprinkle with cinnamon. 
  • Banana (1) + walnuts (5 halves)
If you're craving savory:
  • Cherry tomatoes (1 cup) + low-fat mozzarella cheese stick (1)
  • Olives (5) + edamame (1 cup, steamed in shell)
  • Celery (1 rib, sliced) + peanut butter (1 1/2 tablespoons)
  • Cucumber (1 cup, sliced) + tuna (3 ounces with 1 tablespoon light mayo)
  • Grapes (1/2 cup, whole) + turkey jerky (1 stick)
  • Pea pods (1 cup) + hummus (4 tablespoons)
