Healthy Snacks

I need to find some new and exciting healthy snacks.  I know the standard fruits and veggies but, what else can we eat that is healthy, nutritionally dense, and tastes great? I know there are low calories snacks marketed everywhere but I dont’ really want to fill up on popcorn or rice cakes and crackers.

I like to dip my food.  Maybe I can find some healthy dips to use with some of the normal boring snacks to jazz things up a bit. Maybe if I just use some bright colors in the food we eat it will seem more exciting.  I bet I could mix beets in with hummus and have a pretty colored, bright pink, and delicious dip.  I’ll do some playing around with ideas and see what works for my family.
