Crunchy Chick pea

If you love snacks with crunch but are getting bored of almonds and carrot sticks, try making some
crispy, crunchy chickpeas.

Here's how:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

2. Rinse and drain a can of chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans).
3. Toss them with a tablespoon of olive oil (or whatever healthy, monounsaturated oil you have on
hand).
4. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper (see below for more seasoning ideas).
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, or until toasty.

Low Fat Smoothie

A smoothie is a great way to work towards your goal of two cups a day of fruit. Just blend your choice
of fruit, fresh or frozen, with plain yogurt, silken tofu or a splash of low-fat milk.

You can also sneak in veggies, like spinach, carrot or tomato without sacrificing sweetness.

Make it ahead of time and store in the fridge for when you need a fruity pick-me-up.
