Healthy Snacks

I made a list of healthy snacks or small meals to put on my fridge incase a craving hits... I can get inspiration for what I'm craving- whether its savory or sweet and I can keep my health up by not straying to the crap hidden in the back pantry. Hope you find inspiration.. add to your list if you think I forgot something. Just make sure it nutrient dense and healthy! (Everything is assumed as organic) If you dont know where to find these things, look at trader joes, the farmers market, CO-OP, or costco. (ACV= Apple Cider Vinegar)
