Man, I'm HUNGRY

[pegkerr]

What do you keep to snack on at the office? Healthy snacks, I mean?

I have chocolate rice cakes, which I spread with a thin layer of peanut butter. Or packets of oatmeal. Or popcorn. Or a banana sprinkled with cinnamon. (Sometimes, I will take a single square of Hershey's dark chocolate and crumble it up and sprinkle the crumbs over a cut up banana and then heat that in the microwave for a minute).

I have on occasion brought in a bag of small fresh yams, and I will microwave one of those.

I just noticed your comment about not finding baby carrots satisfying -- that's why I rarely snack on fruit, it just doesn't fill me up if I'm actually hungry. If what you want is a carb-based snack, maybe buy one of those little tubs of Cedar's hummous (I tried a wide selection of pre-made hummouses a few years ago and Cedar's was far and away the best one I found -- Lunds carries it, and my favorite is the garlic lover's variety) and dip the baby carrots in that. Hummous is really good for you, full of complex carbs and protein; the fats are the healthy kind. And it tastes really good. You could also buy pita bread and cut it into triangles to dip, but baby carrots are probably actually more convenient.
