Try triscuit snacks. Like triscuits with cottage cheese and a slice of tomato and some cilantro.





There are lots of combos you can make with triscuits!
Here's a great one. The recipe was originally for a healthy breakfast cookie, which was about the size of one of those larger bakery type cookies. I've made it so it makes about 5 smaller cookes (single recipe), or have tripled the recipe to get more. Even better, I triple (or quadruple) the recipe, put the mixture in a baking pan, and cut them into snack bars. This method would be ideal for your purposes.





Oh darn! I was about to give you this great, healthy snack recipe, but then I saw that you said that low fat cookies don't count. So no, I don't get the picture. My snack, if made cookie style, IS low fat, which you're saying isn't allowed. If it's not low fat... then it's not healthy. I suppose I could give it to you anyway to make into the bar type snacks.... therefore they aren't cookies... which apparently don't count las a low-fat healthy snack.





Oh well, I don't know if this is allowed:





Oatmeal Snack Cookie (or healthy snack bars):





1 cup oatmeal


1 cup ff dry nonfat milk


3/4 tsp baking powder


1-1/2 tsp cinnamon


3/4 cup no sugar added applesauce


3 TBSP splenda


1/4 tsp. vanilla


1/4 cup chopped walnuts* (higher in fat but very nutrious in moderation)


(a few tablespoons of raisins can also be added, but that's also a lot of sugar and added carbs)





Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a pan with non-stick cooking spray. Mix all ingredients together and spoon into pan, pressing evenly. Bake for 15-20 min, until golden brown on edges. That's actually the time for one large cookie, so it'll take a little longer for the bars. Let cool slightly in pan on rack, cut and finish cooling on rack. The can be wrapped individually and frozen for easy snacks, or put in a container to share.





* The original recipe didn't call for walnuts, but I always add them. Here are the nutrition facts JUST for the walnuts:
