I'm looking for the actual recipe to a healthy snack, help?

I want to make a healthy snack for my sister because she is craving food 24/7 so I want to find recipes for snacks made with the raw ingredients, they can be baked, put on the stove, or they can just be put together! I need this by tomorrow! And please do NOT give me things like apples and peanut butter, I want real recipes!I'm looking for the actual recipe to a healthy snack, help?

Alternate layers of fruit and granola with yogurt until glasses are filled to the top. Serve parfaits immediately to keep granola crunchy.I'm looking for the actual recipe to a healthy snack, help?
Keep portion size in mind. Sorry you want real recipes, but the simplest are often the healthiest.

Fresh fruit and veggies first and foremost!

Homemade trail mix with a few nuts, dried cranberries, just a few chocolate chips or m%26amp;ms or nips,

Light cheese and crackers and an apple.

Small individual sized can of tuna and a packet of light mayo (like you get at a fast food place) and some crackers.

Light cup of yogurt.

Hard boiled egg.

Popcorn, not the fat laden version.

Canadian bacon on an english muffin slice with an over easy egg or poached egg. Skip the hollandaise to save calories.

Slider burger (like a 1/4 of a regular hamburger).

Grilled egg and 2% cheese on a one slice of bread. You can also use canadian bacon, it only has 20 calories.

Grilled chicken on a tortilla with veggies, use more veggies than chicken.

Healthy smoothie - frozen banana, strawberries and some ice cubes with a little milk.
