Cashew butter and strawberries on crisp breadAnn StrattonPage 1 of 11

9 Healthy Predinner Snacks

By Maureen Callahan

Dinner's at eight, but you just can't wait. A healthy snack will tide you over.

Cashew-Strawberry Crunch

Think of this as a gourmet cook's PB & J. Spread 1 tablespoon of cashew butter on a slice of Ryvita Fruit Crunch. (Or substitute peanut butter and Triscuits.) Drizzle with ½ tablespoon honey and top with sliced strawberries.
 
 Health bonus: Nut butters are full of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.
