Default Healthy afternoon snack...

What is a good and healthy "pick-me-up" afternoon snack? I've been eating lean cuisines for lunch but around 2 or 3 in the afternoon I need just a little something to hold me over until dinner...any suggestions? THANKS~

How about a fruit or a small fruit bowl with different kinds of fruits, baby carrots, a healthy snack bar, whole grain crackers...

Lightbulb Here's Something Healthy

How about a sandwich on whole-grain wheat, with lean lunch meat (I like turkey breast), lettuce, tomato and cheese (the reduced-fat kind).

I've got cold-water and apple slices, along with my favorite: citrus salad!
YUM!!!!!

That should hold you until dinner.

Yes i do. I love bananas, grapes, pears, blueberries, cantelope (which by the way is great with cottage cheese), pineapple, mangoes, oranges. Those are some of my favorites! What kinds do you like?

I like strawberries, cherries, apples, pears, peaches, plumbs, nectarines, tangarines, oranges, grapefruit, lemon, lime, mango, watermelon... now I hate cantelope, honeydew--I have a reaction to them; even the smell! I have a hard time with watermelon as well, but I do like it!

I haven't tried blueberries yet.

I like tangerines too, grapefruit is healthy but i dont like the bitter taste. Blueberries can be used in shakes and cereals some even use it in pancakes, altough i rather just have it plain. I like watermelon too especially in the summer!!
