Snack Attack

Can you tell we're excited about the BLAST class beginning on Friday?  Here's another list to help you prepare for the start of class.  Remember you don't need to eliminate snacks from your menu.  In fact, smart snacking will keep you from becoming famished.  Check out this list for a few ideas.  Feel free to post on the message boards with your own ideas and recipes.  We love to see our members and visitors take part in the conversation!

SNACKS

Rice crackers


Pretzels, peanut butter pretzels and potato sticks (there are some delicious varieties of gluten free pretzels available as well)
