Panorama StatsIs there a place on CC where we can get our teams stats? I couldn't find one.
 
It's the bottom report in the cluster report/my cluster. So far the only one on my list is the person who went to National Conference and her 500 points. Mine was last updated September 4.

I am a snacker so I try and have a variety of quick healthy snacks available for when I get the munchies.
One of my favorites are raw almonds. They are healthier then the roasted. I always carry some with me in my purse to snack on. The cheapest I have found are at Trader Joes. I also like healthy trail mix. I make my own with walnuts, almonds. dried cranberries, raw pepitas, sunflower seeds, dried pineapple and banana chips.
 
Special K bars...especially the Peach and Berry.
 
I love fresh broccoli and cauliflower with ranch or french onion dip. Although the dip probadly cancels out healthy but it is better than chips with dip. I also love grapes- we eat them almost every night. Most any fresh fruit too.

Yes- grapes are great! I've taken them in my purse too! Plain Cheerios too.
 
Lately I've been eating a pack of raspberries every day.
 
I love just about every type of fruit you can think of.
 
I love very good quality celery as an "eat a lot" snack. Another snack I indulge in is canned pickled beets. I love beets and the whole ones are great to snack on at the end of a day.
 
I love mangos. I cut them up and keep them in tupperware in the fridge for an easy snack. I keep almonds on hand as well. They are a hunger quencher. I also have baby carrots and celery close by.

I also love apples with peanut butter and celery with peanut butter- but these aren't great on the go snacks.
