Make a rabbit (bunny) box!!!
Simple: Just cut up a whole bunch of vegetables like carrots, radishes, broccoli, snap peas, celery, cauliflower, cucumber, etc. and put them in a box. Therefore, when you are hungry, you have something healthy and easy to grab vs. something not so healthy. By the way, did you know that fruits and vegetables are the original fast food? Ha!
As far as dips, I would recommend hummus (which you can make with a food processor) or nonfat plain yogurt (Greek or regular) to which you just add some ranch seasoning to it to make a healthier lower calorie ranch dip. In fact, non-fat plain yogurt is a great substitute for many things like sour cream and mayo. I use it for my tuna fish, as sour cream in all of my Mexican dishes (like tortilla soup or on tacos) and in my smoothies. This is not even the half of it. A lot of Americans lack calcium, so utilizing yogurt helps increase your calcium! Remember: 3 servings a day help keep your bones healthy. Yogurt is also great for your gut, as far as the bacteria. It's good for those who are sensitive to dairy, because of the live and active cultures. Alway make sure there is a "Live and Active Cultures" stamp on your yogurt. This ensures that they are preserved and not destroyed.
Another fun snack is cut up fruit with yogurt dip. You can get any flavored yogurt and use that as a dip, but my favorite is non-fat vanilla yogurt mixed with cinnamon :)
