Favorite snack of the moment:
Dried plums (prunes, to the olds). I have a serious habit of OD-ing on food I like (there was a time in college when I ate so much greek yogurt with honey that now I can’t bring myself to make the combination), and these might be next on the list. I have a really, really bad sweet tooth, but eating Swedish Fish all day is not EXACTLY the best way to alleviate the cravings. Dried plums have a ton of fiber (both soluble and insoluble) so don’t overdo it. Seriously. But they are also really good for you (vitamin A! I don’t know what that means but it sounds GREAT) and they are low calorie.
Also? From the California Dried Plum Web site:

When a labor shortage hit California in 1905, a farmer turned to 500 monkeys to harvest the prune plums. Organized into gangs of 50 with a human foreman, the monkeys picked the prune plums well but ate them all up! Today, machines do the work—without eating the fruit.

All about the monkey bznz. Emphasis MINE.
What snacks do you recommend?
