Hand to Mouth: Veggie Snacks!

[Biteset]

For those times when I simply must have a bowl of little crunchy things to eat mindlessly, here's something that's not bad, no, not bad at all!

I use my Salad Shooter and slice up a couple carrots and a few radishes. They come out all thin and round and crispy, and I can eat them mindlessly without worrying about damage to my figure. Also, the Salad Shooter parts clean up REALLY FAST (just rinse right away) so prep and clean up isn't a pain in the tush.

I just read over what I wrote--it sounds like rabbit food, lol! No, it's just one snack out of many I eat--the rest are things like popcorn or chocolate covered almonds or scoops of ice cream...I'm normal...

Any ideas for other veggies that would get prepped and sliced with ease? And come out all crunchy and ready to munch on?

Oh--I forgot--the reason I started using my Salad Shooter to slice the carrots up really thinly was that I have little kids. I don't feel comfortable handing them baby carrots at their age; I worry about choking. Naturally my own snacks tend to be kid-friendly 'cause they frequently mooch off of whatever I eat.

Way to go on the vegi consumption! I should do that for my son that has braces, they would be much easier for him to munch on. I'm glad you wrote that you eat other yummy snacks otherwise I'd start to feel guilty about my Peppermint Patties

I've been hooked on the sugar snap pea pods recently. Not the snow peas. These are the fat ones. They come all washed in a bag in the produce section for about $2.50. They're a little bit sweet. I like to mix them w/ baby carrots, but they are good on their own, too. I also put them on salads. No prep, just rinse and eat.
