1 Bosc Pear, sliced
1 ounce creamy Blue cheese - like Danish
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Spread a thin layer of cheese onto the pear slice and sprinkle with nuts. YUM.
Why we like it:
Pears are high fiber and have a good amount of vitamin C. They are a good cracker substitute too.
Blue cheese In my opinion what is NOT to like about blue cheese plus it provides calcium. If you don't like the Blue try a soft goat cheese.
Walnuts are high in omega 3 fatty acids.
Fit's tip: Bosc pears are an instant gratification pear - they are eaten when they're hard, so there's often no need to wait for them to ripen.

I love Blue Cheese and I love walnuts.

QUESTION:
I tend to snack on wheat thins all the time, they sound healthy and taste good, are there any alternatives that are actually healthy?
I think Kashi has some type of cracker.
Thanks!
1When I consider which cracker is healthier, I look at sugar and fiber.

i like to snack on frozen veggies or fruit. i know that sounds weird but i always like to munch when i'm at my desk. i don't want to get 'corporate butt' so something with few calories and high fiber is always good.
3Thanks DesignRchic for the cracker info about the Kashi - very thorough. I also wanted to say that Pears are in season right now so they are excellent this time of year.
