WHAT: Keebler Town House Crackers + Hummus Snack Boxes
STATS: One snack box (three per package) of the Mediterranean Herb Pita variety contains 240 calories and 9 fat, 32 carbohydrate, 4 fiber, 3 sugar and 7 protein grams. We found them at Wal-Mart, 700 Bowman Road, Little Rock. Visit townhousecrackers.com.
THE SKINNY: Give peas a chance.
At least try these shelf-stable snack boxes of chickpea hummus and crackers (at least two versions are available: the Mediterranean version and Sea Salt & Olive Oil Flatbread).
Because the portable protein-y snack doesn't require refrigeration, the zesty hummus and seasoned dippers come in handy, particularly this time of year. Pack them for the pool or campground.
Or keep a box in your office desk drawer. Next time you're hangry and you can't run out for lunch, you can be full of pita instead of self-pity.
