Fruit is a winner.
Fruit, cheese, and nuts are my usual go-to snackings.
Let me dig up some old posts for the forum brotha!
Most of the recipes I have include Splenda. I personally have come to terms with it (applicable to my dietary goals), and have used this artificial sweetener for nearly three years now.
Traditional Natural Peanut Butter Cookies
Note: You can add in Old Fashioned Oatmeal (Plain/raw 2 cups) and have a a nice Oatmeal/NPB Cookie
1 1/2 cups Stoned Ground Wheat Flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt (OPTIONAL)
1 cup Creamy or Chunky Natural Peanut Butter
1/2 cup "Smart Balance" Butter (same type of fats that are in NPB)
BROWN SUGAR--ELIMINATED
1/2 cup SPLENDA granulated baking type
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
In a medium bowl sift to combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt
In a large bowl beat together natural peanut butter, "Smart Balance" butter, and Splenda until smooth.
Add in egg and vanilla
Combine flour mixture with natural peanut butter mixture, scrapping the sides of the bowl to insure batter is well blended.
Cover bowl with plastic and place in frig for 20 minutes
Using a teaspoon drop batter 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Using a fork make crisscross pattern flattening cookies slightly.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes
========================================================
Natural Peanut Butter Pie:
Note: To obtain a chocolate flavor, you can add: Cooking cocoa (5 tsp), and Smart Balance butter (two tbls) to the main portion (not graham crust)
EDIT: 1 (8 oz package) No Fat Cream Cheese (removes the sats and LOWERS CALORIES, but leaves comparable taste)
1/2 cup of Natural Peanut Butter ( I use the Smucker's Brand)
1/2 cup of Skim Milk
1/2 cup of Splenda
Sugar Free whipped topping
They now make a Spenda version of Graham Crackers--leaving just the grains and some minor bad ingredients in the crackers.
Take one package and crush with a rolling pin in between wax paper.
Use "smart balance" butter, and warm about two tablespoons in a small sauce pan.
Put the crushed splenda graham crackers in a pie pan, and add the "smart balance" butter. Mix good, and spread evenly in the pie pan.
Mix, the NPB, Skim Milk, and Splenda real good by hand. Put in pie pan.
Top with Sugar free Whipped Cream.
The NPB is the largest calorie producer in this NPB pie. Has good fats, no sugar, and can satisfy a sweetness craving.
EDIT: After making this it needs to be in the fridge for about 1 to 2 hours to harden a bit.........

Looks great, thanks Chillen!
Try getting a bunch of almonds and walnuts and spreading them out on a baking sheet. Very lightly cover them with some olive oil or cooking spray and then sprinkle them with cumin, paprika and chili powder or hot sauce and then roast them in the oven. One of my favorite snacks.
