Yum! Come to think of it, a fruit roll up would go great with a handfuls of nuts! My favorite “conscious snack” is dried craberries and almonds. Yum!

Sliced apples or pretzel sticks dipped in peanut butter, melted cheese with grilled chicken on tortilla chips, we try to aim for low carb because one of my children is diabetic. A conscious snacking revolution would include more low carb snacks (15g or less). Sugar in high doses stresses the pancreas, which is something we don't normally think about with all the convenience offered to us these days.

They used to love getting a baggie full of small star shaped melon.

I think this is great for fruits or raw veggies. I recently started making fruit kabobs after a request from the four year old. I think this is great for fruits or raw veggies.

Probably not a good tip to pass along to Vivien :) When I was a kid, we would roll them around our index finger and suck on them – sounds border-line sexual now.
