Well, I have a lot of healthy snack ideas. To give you a little background info on me, I'm a raw and living foodest. That means I don't eat anything cooked. The reason for this is because cooking kills all of the nutrients and enzymes and all your left with is food that is considered dead. It has no life to it therefore how can it impart life to you. There is no room here for me to give you full detailed information on this way of eating, but, if you are interested, just write me and I will give you some web sites that are jam packed with information on this particular subject. They already have it all written out.
Some ideas on healthy snacks are easy. Any fruit is great and also filling. You can eat fruit all day long with no repercussions. You can make your own trail mix by picking your favorite dried fruits, nuts, seeds, coconut flakes, well you get the idea. Mix them all together and take them with you all day. When you feel your energy ebb just pop a handfull. You will notice your energy increase. I like to make smoothies during the day. I freeze fruits like bananas, strawberries, blue berries, raspberries, mangoes, pineapples, etc. fill the blender with your favorite blend of fruits, I also like to crack open a young coconut and put the meat and coconut water in the mix. Add water and then blend well. As for the nutritional value of young coconuts. The water of a coconut has lectrolites in it and it has the same make up as plasma in your blood. During WWII in the pacific when they were low of blood they would do blood transfusions with this. It's wonderful stuff. Another great idea is to take bananas that are frozen, add vanilla, blend real well (you may need to add a drop of water, but just a drop). This taste better than ice cream. I do this with mangoes and pineapples too. You don't need to add sweetner to this but if you must see below.
What ever you do stay away from sugar as much as you possibly can. Sugar depletes your body of vitiman c and other nutrients. That's why sailors of old would come down with scurvey. Actually scurvey didn't become a problem with sailors until they introduced sugar. Another affliction due to sugar is tooth decay. This was pretty much nonexistent until sugar was introduced. The only other civilization that had tooth decay were the ancient Egyptions. Theirs was because of eating date sugar another form of processed sugar. We in the raw community do use a lot of dates as sweetners though. But, not date sugar. There is a great natural sugar substitute called Agave. This is a cactus juice. It is actually the cactus used in making tequilla. As a sweetner it is fantastic. It is 30 times sweeter than sugar and has a slight caramel flavor to it. It is great on anything. The best news of all is if someone you know has diabetes they can have this sweetner because it doesn't react the same in your body as other sweetners do. I hope this helps you with ideas. If you have any questions feel free to contct me. I'll be moving in the next couple of days and over the weekend, so, if you write me don't expect a response until next week. Best of luck to you.

You can eat yogurt. It has tons of flovors so you never get tired of it. There is also cinnamon raisin bread. It's buy SUN-MAID. It's really good toasted.Try some of your favorite friuts with some fruit dip.You don't have to use yogurt ,you can buy a tub of strawberry fruit dip that's really good. I think there are other flavors too if you aren't a strawberry fan. Hope I helped!

Try making food at home, that generally healthier and more balanced. Often women's and home magazines feature light snacks that are easy to make.
In addition, there are many appetizing fruits and vegetables which can be sweet while healthy. Some being apples, grapefruit, cantelope, and carrots (I love baby carrots).
Regardless of what you specifically eat, just aim to eat a variety of foods throughout the day and the majority of your body's needs will be met.
