Healthy snacks

I am a snacker. I try to do healthy snacks and to accomplish this having them available helps. I usually have carrots, apples, wheat or low fat crackers, v8 juice is also really good if you like it. I also heard recently that eating up to 6 times a day will help you loose weight as long as it is small meals. So I was looking online for some ideas for healthy snacks and came across this one.

A lot of those look really good and would give me more variety.

This website was also listed in the comments of the first one and goes along with what the first one is saying.

Did anyone else think they might want to try homemade hummus to dip with veggies after reading the first article? I did. I don't know if I have had it before so I looked up a recipe.
