I have honey roasted peanuts and grapes almost every single day and they never get old. I would replace them with chocolate in a second if it was healthy. What do you like?
 
ice cream
breakfast of champions
 
My favorite meal is the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese sandwich on crisply toasted white bread with butter. And orange juice. If I could have that every day for breakfast I'd be set. :)

I tried the sunflower seeds with the shells and didn't have the patience, although I do like the taste. Two pretty healthy snacks!

If you have a Kroger near you, the grapes may be $1/lb right now. They are here in Michigan.

With cheese huh, sounds pretty good!
 
Hummus with toasted flat bread along with sliced fresh tomatoes and olives on the side.
 
Sprouted Splits are incredible Pretzels.
Taste great, and "digest like vegetables"
Whole Foods carries them.
Supermarkets carry the others.
Polly-O mixed twists are killer too.

Right now, it's chestnuts, because they're free. I get them from the outskirts of the soccer field my daughter plays at. Roast em and eat em. The other parents think I'm...nuts! I guess foraging isn't their thing? Free chestnuts, I'll take it. They're, like, 6 bucks per pound at the store.


Rest of the time? I go down the baking aisle and buy a large bag of pecan halves, a large bag of shelled walnuts, a large bag of unsalted almonds, a small bag of shelled pistachios, a small bag of macadamia nuts, and a large bag/tin of unsalted peanuts. I mix them all up, using 1 part pecan, 1 part almond, 1 part peanut, to 1/2 part walnut, to 1/4 part pistachio, 1/4 part macadamia. I then add some dried cranberries, and some reases pieces.

All said, this costs me about 100 bucks, maybe a touch more, but it gives me the worlds best trail mix for a looooong time. I mix up one big batch, and put that into an empty giant animal cookie jar. The bags give me enough nuts to do 2-3 batches. One animal cookie jug worth is trail mix snack for a month.
 
Oh, and those Snyders honey mustard pretzel chunks. That is crack to me. I tend to only get it for road trips, I call it road food. When you're about to drive 900 miles or so, it's nice to have at least ONE thing to look forward to...

Having both Celiac Disease AND being lactose intolerant leaves me with very limited choices. But not only do these not cause me GI problems, but they taste great, too:

Never had the sprouted splits. I was actually in the Unique Pretzels bakery today and it's the first time I'd seen them

Being as I'm from a city that has, I think, 3 snack companies big on pretzels (unique, tom sturgis, bachman) pretzels are pretty high on my list
