I haven't drank one in awhile but I used to buy them to take to work for lunch. I preferred the ones that were already made. They aren't as easy to find in a 12 pack carton these days. Not sure why....

One of my favorite snacks is hummus. You can dip any kind of healthy raw veggie or be a little naughty and dip tortilla chips. I also use hummus as a spread for sandwiches rather than mayo.

They aren't too satisfying, but they do the job if you need help with portion control. Otherwise, I tend to stay away from prepackaged foods if I can help it because of all the additives. I'd say...
