How about frozen grapes. They are like candy. Try them out. If you have a sweet tooth, they are a great way to satisfy the bad sugar cravings.

I know they are probably not the healthiest snack in the world, but if craving is for sweet, one way to stay away from candy for me, is to have 5 (yes I count) Montmorency dried tart cherries (I bought them at Costco)

I live in the Cowichan Valley and have access to an organic blueberry farm. In season I buy pounds and pounds! of blueberries, freeze them and then have them not only for making yummy things but just to snack on frozen. Amazing little frozen bursts of health.

It's an unusual snack for some people and it is high in fat. It's a concentrated food. An average avocado has about 300 calories and 30 grams of fat, 12 grams of carbohydrates and 4-5 grams protein. But the creamy, soft, silky flesh is very satisfying with a little bit of lemon juice, salt and pepper. It's actually an anti-stress fruit because of it's high B-complex profile except B12. Plus 14 minerals including potassium, magnesium, iron and copper. But don't eat the whole fruit, it can add excess fat and weight.

I love all kinds of fruit. Sometimes I cut up strawberries, mangoes, bananas, and apples and pour fresh orange juice over top for a delicious fruit salad. My husband makes yummy smoothies too with frozen bananas, strawberries, vanilla yogurt, and a splash of orange juice.

Yep, they sure are high in calories! But they sure stop the chocolate urge for me.

Really good with some garlic pita chips. YUM!!!

I love salt and pepper potato chips. Hmmmm I may have missed the point of this discussion, this isn't such a healthy snack but I always feel great after eating them.

Okay it's not that healthy, but it's better than stuffing one's face with bacon wrapped bacon.

Don´t you have tried grilled peaches with no sugar added? Delicious! I frecuently enjoy this healthy snack!

Good one Lila, recently I had peaches that were wrapped in prosciutto with a basil leaf inside. The peaches were then grilled and then finished with a balsamic reduction. Can you fantastic...oh ya!

I have to say, the balsamic reduction really added a nice touch...here is a recipe for anyone that wants it.

They're quite delicious. I was quite surprised. I like chips all the same, but you did say 'healthy'.

There is nothing better than during fig season to stuff some beautiful ripe figs with goat cheese and then wrap them in proscuitto, then warm slightly under the broiler or on the grill till proscuitto is slightly crisp on the edges. Fantastic!!!! Combine with a nice glass of Fume' Blanc and absolute heaven!
