I really enjoy the snack size packets of unsalted almonds purchased at B.J.'s Wholesale Club. It is a great source of protein and is heart healthy. It has the good fats for your health. I do enjoy salted almonds, but I don't purchase them because I know too much salt is not a good thing and I don't want to eat a snack that is going to leave me feeling bloated and by the evening unable to get my rings off because of too much salt consumption. I never purchased unsalted almonds until about a year ago and now I love them! I am used to it and it is quite enjoyable. Another great snack that I really enjoy and indulge in throughout the day and before bed sometimes....Blueberry's. I absolutely love them! They are considered to be the #1 Brain Food. I buy them fresh and frozen. I eat them in a bowl, I even grind them and put them in any kind of drink that I am having...great tea with crushed blueberries is really good. But just to simply sit down with a bowl of plain fresh blueberries and enjoy each little bite is so enjoyable for me. I cannot get enough blueberries. So far the watermelons that I have purchased this season have been superb. Seedless is the best. I will cut them some of it up and put it into my Magic Bullet and make a cool fresh watermelon drink. No need to add any water or spritzer to it, the watermelon has enough of it's own juices to make a delightful drink. Top it off with some fresh mint and go sit on the porch with your SPF 30 - 60 and enjoy the summer breeze, warm sun on your face and indulge in your mouth watering healthy drink.

I'm a student right now and I NEVER leave the house without 1-2-3 apples with me (depending on the day). Bananas are great as well. Nuts are great! I love oatmeal snack bars, cookies, and everything else! :) Berries are expensive in the winter, but otherwise they're great! And another great snack: Baby carrots! Small converiet, yummy! and these little red chese wheels too. :) I agree. I’m a student right now and I NEVER leave the house without 1-2-3 apples with me (depending on the day).
