Better yet - have you tried Sunflower Butter (made from sunflower seeds) or almond butter - YUM!

Spiced maple yogurt: 6 ounces plain yogurt, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and a dash of cinnamon

Green Tea with Cookie

Unsweetened green tea with 1 oatmeal dark-chocolate cookie, such as TLC by Kashi

1 trail-mix granola bar - Try Kashi brand - they are delicious and have great fiber!

Tomato Juice and Cheese
8-ounce tomato juice with 1 piece of string cheese

Chips and Dip
2 tablespoons low-fat spicy bean dip and 18 baked tortilla chips - better yet - make your own! HyVee has a great "roasted red jalapeno refried black beans". They are in a can in the health food section. Grab some corn or flour tortillas, season, cut into triangles and bake your own chips!
