I need some ideas of easy foods to keep around the house to grab to snack on. It seeems like I should be able to come up with ideas but my brain isn't playing nice tonight. I usually will do a banana with peanut butter but mostly find myself digging into cheesy crackers.

Here are some things I try to keep around to snack on.
String cheese
Greek yogurt
Fiber one granola bars
Peanut butter filled pretzels
Veggies and hummus
Fruit
Nuts or trail mixI try to have things ready to grab so I wash/cut fruits and veggies and put in ziploc bags and use a kitchen scale to weigh portions of nuts, etc. and put in ziploc bags also & store in a basket in the pantry.

Apples slices & almond butter is my go to. Before I went paleo I did lots of yogurt and baby carrots with hummus. How about cheese and deli ham roll ups?

Nuts, yogurt, baby carrots+hummus, diced fruit, or a small portion of regular leftover food. Or half a sandwich. Oh and boiled eggs! I eat those often.

@jhd: I picked up some hummus and Kashi crackers last night and Greek yogurt.
@lady grey and @blackbird: : I like the roll-up and boiled eggs ideas!
I think pre-planning is key for me, and I suck at it. I picked up the mini portions of peanut butter to take to work to eat with apple slices and I need to pick a day and cut up fruit and veggies for snacks.

I cut up vegetables on Sunday, I do cucumbers, bell peppers, carrots and grape tomatoes...they go in trays and right into the fridge for our lunches. If you have a costco, they make an edamame hummus, that's just as good as plain hummus and about 3 grams of fat per serving. I've toyed with making my own, but laziness took over there.
I tend to do whole fruit, rather than cut, because the process of eating whole fruit takes me longer and I don't overeat on fruit, which I adore.
I stay away from nuts and cheese for snacks, it is a challenge for me to eat a small portion and I end up eating other things to satisfy me.

@Tanjowen: a lot of times I cut fruit and veggies on Sundays but sometimes I just do one or two things at a time on other days. If all else fails, bananas & clementines are good because you don't have to wash!
