My Big Issue With Snacks

They're scary!

My problem with snacks is that I haven't yet found the middle ground. Either they are bad for me and so sweet, my sugar craving goes haywire, and I'm falling off the wagon with one snack. Or they are not sweet at all, and I'm still craving sugar. I want a snack that is just sweet enough to ease the craving but not so sweet, I feel like losing my mind and swallowing the refrigerator. Yes, that's my reaction. Sugar makes me hungry. Freakin' weird.

So today I went to the store and purchased plain yogurt, grapes, and an assortment of nuts. Oh and a package of Wasa crackers. Once upon a time, I remember eating the crackers slathered with with cream cheese and loving it. That was back on the Atkins diet or something. Maybe.

Anyway, so I tried the plain yogurt, a few nuts (pistacios and almonds) and a few grapes all mixed together. Gross! Why didn't someone tell me plain yogurt is barely tolerable. It had no sweetness. The only sweetness I had was in the grapes, but they couldn't tone down the yogurt. I still believe in this snack because I enjoyed muching the nuts in there. Although eating fruit with anything else isn't one of my favorite things.

So now I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to make the yogurt tolerable or should I spring for the extra calories and go for a more flavorful yogurt. I'm not concerned with healthy exactly (smacks hand) but I do want to keep it natural if I can.

I need to find snacks that are not too many calories but also add just a hint of sweetness. Maybe I should add a dash of honey to the mix. Or something else?

Well if you have suggestions, I'm happy to listen.
