Default need snack suggestion

I am looking for a good snack to bring to school for a mid-morning snack.
Here are the requirements: must be high in protein, must not need
refrigeration, remember that I only get 20 points a day so it cannot be a
high point food. I am going to try string cheese this week and raisins but
I need something to tide me over between breakfast and lunch. I find myself
reaching for the Hersey's kisses too often.

I like Pria bars. 2 points and full of soy protein.

There are other brands with points ranging from 2 to 5 per bar. Hershey now
makes a Smart Zone bar with 4 points that you could actualy use as lunch.

Is it better to snack or to have a better breakfast to tide you over till
lunch?

That is a personal preference. Some people have to have a mid morning snack
because it is several hours bwt breakfast and lunch. If you have breakfast
at 6am and lunch at 12pm then some need a snack. I can last from 7am to
around 11:30am without a snack. I do have a hearty, high fiber breakfast or
I could not last that long. Others need to eat every 2-3 hours so they
certainly have a mid morning and afternoon snack to make it through the day.
Just remember that you still only have a certain number of points allowed
each day. So if you get into the habit of a mid morning snack it means that
you should have a smaller breakfast. As Judy said, she is only on 20 points
per day. That is not a lot of food so she has to ration it out very
carefully to each meal and/or snack.

I snack. Different people do different things. No matter the size of my
breakfast I am hungry at ten, so I eat a small breakfast and a snack.

I have some whole grain crackers that I use with low fat cheese, or hummus.
A hard boiled egg travels well two filling points. Sometimes I have fruit.
Some yogurt will do fine out of fridge for a while. Bean dip in one of those
little cans with celery sticks. Half a serving of a hi protein cereal such
as kashi go lean crunch.

==========================
Why do you have HKs where you can reach for them? That's like a recovering
alcoholic keeping a bottle of booze handy. Why high protein? What's wrong
with fruit? A nice crisp apple or pear? Or, more filling, half of a
Merita (bread) fatfree cream-cheese and sugar-free jelly sandwich at only 1
1/2 points? I make it, cut it in half and have two nice snacks as a break
from fruit. No need to refrigerate it for hours.

The Thing is different people are Different. Which is no doubt why she said
High Protein. I cannot eat a snack without some protein component to it
without actually stimulating my appetite. Not what I want to do with a
snack, make myself more hungry.

This would be why things that work for me don't necessarily work for
everyone, and why WW has two plans.....
