I am looking for a good snack to bring to school for a mid-morning snack.
Here are the requirements: must be high in protein, must not need
refrigeration, remember that I only get 20 points a day so it cannot be a
high point food. I am going to try string cheese this week and raisins
but
I need something to tide me over between breakfast and lunch. I find
myself
reaching for the Hersey's kisses too often.
==========================
Why do you have HKs where you can reach for them? That's like a recovering
alcoholic keeping a bottle of booze handy. Why high protein? What's wrong
with fruit? A nice crisp apple or pear? Or, more filling, half of a
Merita (bread) fatfree cream-cheese and sugar-free jelly sandwich at only 1
1/2 points? I make it, cut it in half and have two nice snacks as a break
from fruit. No need to refrigerate it for hours.

Wierdly, I actually agree with Wysong.
Grapes are great...the little green ones...I keep those in the car with me
on long drives.
One good thing about the braces, I cannot nibble on the sort of sticky
little granola bars (even the Wwers ones) anymore so those are off the menu!
