Step 1
Try yogurt for a great snack idea. You can make it even better by adding a small handful (about 1/4 cup) of crushed or chopped walnuts and in a handful of blueberries or sliced strawberries.

Step 2
Jazz up cottage cheese, which is a super protein, but a little dull eaten alone. Add some fruit (frozen fruit is as good as fresh) like berries or sliced bananas. Or, add some spices like pepper and dried tarragon, then stuff the mixture into celery or use it as a dip for sliced cucumbers, carrots and turnips.

Step 3
Have hummus (ground chick peas with olive oil and spices) with a variety of vegetables or pita chips.
-
Step 4
Try string cheese (mozzarella in individually packaged sticks) with a sliced ripe tomato. Drizzle a little balsamic vinaigrette dressing over the tomato, if you wish. (Cheese contains a lot of saturated fat, but mozzarella cheese is lower in fat and calories than most other cheeses.)

Step 5
Have a few large pitted prunes wrapped in thinly sliced ham. Along with this combo, have some diced cheese and a few leaves of basil.
