Its so good! I don't use very much peanut butter or honey - so it stays relatively healthy and low-calorie. The cinnamon is just the finishing touch!

I love nutritious creations for low fat cookies, muffins and oat bars. So many flavors to choose from!
Check out bakedgoods.tv for info about their stuff and to try it out.
I am also a fan of fresh fruit and single serve low fat ice cream products

bombay hummus w/ pita bread
here's the recipe for the hummus:
1/4 c. canola oil
1 inch piece of ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
1 540 ml can chickpeas
1/4 c. cashews, roasted
juice of 1 lime
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 t salt
1 t ground cumin
1 t ground coriander
1/2 t cracked pepper
1/4 t cayenne
pinch turmeric
pinch cinnamon
2 T chopped cilantro
2 T chopped mint
Gently heat the oil and ginger in a small saucepan. Let the ginger sizzle, but not brown. After about 10 mins, remove from heat and set aside to cool. Rinse and drain the chickpeas. Combine all ingredients (including ginger and oil) in a food processor or blender, and pulse to blend. Blend to a rough purée and season to taste. Ideally, let it sit in the fridge for at least a couple of hours before adjusting the seasoning, since the flavours will develop over time. Serve cold or at room temp with whole wheat pita.

I stash a container of cashews and walnuts at work. Otherwise I make my own wasabi peas (baked rather than fried), pre-make a lot of small skinless chicken portions cooked with cajun or five-spice seasoning, and chow down on boiled eggs.
I'd rather eat a small bit of protein than fill up on fruit; burning off all that sugar is one less thing I need to think about.

the 100 calorie snack packs are good. I like to keep dried cranberries at my desk.
