I like to snack. You probably like to snack. How can we snack more sensibly instead of grabbing a cookie or that leftover chocolate from the holidays?

Here are some snacks I love. Maybe you'll love them too, or at least like them!

Baby Carrots or some kind of carrot stick

Celery

Soy Nuts, Pumpkin Seeds, Sunflower Seeds (all unsalted)

Cheese Cubes: (I don't like low-fat cheese, but I've heard some of the fat-free cheese sticks are tasty, sort of)

Low-fat yogurt: (Dannon Light and Fit is good, but I typically mix up non-fat plain yogurt with a few soy nuts, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, and raisins)

Air-popped or microwave popcorn: (Look for the kind without trans fats and no butter if it's microwave popcorn. Don't eat the whole bag in one sitting)

Fruit (any kind, but I like Granny Smith apples, bananas, oranges, and grapes)

Edamame (delicious even without salt)

Almonds (Unsalted, maybe 10 to 12 almonds, although I don't usually count them out)

Whole-wheat pita toasted with tomatoes and a little balsamic vinegar

Radishes (whole)

Beets

Now get snacking -- sensibly.
