Satisfy Any Cravings with THESE 9 Snacks
You ever have that "calling" — not that calling.

You’re at work. It’s 2 PM. Your eyes are starting to roll to the back of your head and your stomach is starting to "yell" at you.
It’s the vending machine "calling." Obviously you have to cave, right? WRONG!
Finding a great option in the vending machine is like finding a needle in a haystack. Instead, try any of these snacks to satisfy your salty, sweet, or crunchy cravings!
Sure, some, but not all of them would work at the office, but that same snack calling can come at home too.
Got a craving for salty foods?
Try any of these:
- 1/2 cup edamame (soybeans) sprinkled with sea salt
- Cucumber slices with a pinch of sea salt and crushed black pepper
- Toasted chick peas (drain and rinse canned chick peas, toss with 1 tsp olive oil, sprinkle with kosher salt and chili powder. Toast in a pan over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until crispy)
Craving sweet foods?
Try these:
- Sliced melon with a squeeze of lime juice
- Grilled pineapple with a drizzle of melted chocolate
- Grilled plum with a scoop of gelato (a personal favorite)
Craving crunchy foods?
Try these:
- Baby carrots with hummus
- Wasa Crispbread (LOVE this) with a slice of tomato and avocado (smoked salmon is a nice addition too)
- Apple slices with pieces of sharp cheddar cheese
There you have it — 9 different snacks to attack your salty, sweet, or crunchy cravings head on!

It’s like a cracker — very few ingredients, high fiber, and makes a perfect base for holding something like smoked or canned salmon with avocado, for example!

Where does one get it (or how does one make it)? Google only turns up a few rita bread recipes.

I truly enjoy the Wasa Crackers- usually add peanut butter and greek yogurt.
for my sweet tooth I pack Rice cakes drizzled with Molasses or honey. A bit messy but very tasty.

In general these are great alternatives.
What about items for those on the go?
As someone who does go for more of the sweets… Grilling anything is too much work (And I don’t have a grill!)
