Healthy Snack ideas

Everyone keep posting menu's. It's giving me some ideas to break up the mediocrity that is dinner.

Healthy snacks -

1-Mash half a banana into 2 teaspoons peanut butter and spread onto a whole-grain bagel. Large bagels contain up to 300 calories, so choose a smaller 2-ounce bagel.

2-Mix 1/4 cup cold leftover chicken or convenience-type chunk chicken with sliced seedless grapes, 1/2 tablespoon sunflower seeds, 1 tablespoon plain yogurt or fat-free mayonnaise, and a dash of curry powder. Stuff into a hollowed-out green pepper or half of a whole-wheat pita pocket.

3-Layer a 6-inch soft corn or flour tortilla with 2 tablespoons shredded low-fat cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese. Microwave until the cheese melts. Slice into bite-sized pie shapes. Dip into some salsa if desired.

4-Grab 'N Go Raisin Energy Bars
INGREDIENTS
* 2 cups California raisins
* 1 cup chopped walnuts
* 1 cup slivered almonds
* 2 teaspoons almond extract
* 1 teaspoon cinnamon
PROCEDURE
Preheat oven to 200̊F. Combine ingredients in blender or food processor; pulse on and off until raisins and nuts are finely chopped, but not puréed. (Mixture should not be sticky.) Press firmly into a 10 x 4-inch rectangle on a parchment lined baking sheet and cut crosswise into 10 bars each 1-inch wide. Separate slightly to cook evenly and bake for 1 hour; let cool and wrap individually.
Yields: 10 bars
